Tagged by: crimelords

1. Tell me something you love about yourself. Um, I love that I'm able to treat other people like 100x better than I'm able to treat myself. There's nothing I wouldn't do for the people I love and I think that shows..??? (Friends, feel free to tell me if this is complete bullshit.)

2. Any pets? This cutie pa-tootie right here!

3. What’s your favorite recipe? (If you don’t cook, what’s your favorite food?)

My dad and I make venison stew every year once it gets cold and that might just be my favorite thing in the entire world..

4. If you don’t mind telling, what’s something that keeps you awake at night?

Just a load of made up scenarios that are better (and/or worse) than what actually happened and thinking of witty comebacks I could have used throughout the day but unfortunately didn't think of until laying in bed that night.

5. What’s your favorite thing to see in another person? I have a strange hand infatuation and that's always the first thing I notice. 

6. Favorite season of the year? Why? Fall and I wish I could sound less stereotypical but seriously everything smells better and looks better and you don't have to strip down to nothing just to walk outside and pumpkins and Halloween and old scary movies and pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. (I'd like to note that my enjoyment of Pumpkin Spice Lattes has nothing to do with my race and everything to do with my taste buds.)   

7. What’s your perfect day sound like? Ready for a fatal dose of cliche? My perfect day would go a little something like this:

Wake up somewhat early and go out to breakfast.

Go to the city market until early afternoon.

Head to the beach with a small group of good friends and stay until dark. (I am aware there are no beaches in Kansas.)

Since it's a perfect day, there would conveniently be a concert on the pier with my absolute favorite bands headlining and my friends and I would stroll over there and enjoy the splendors of live music.

And ya, maybe a cute surfer boy or something idk.

8. Tell me about something or somebody you hate. Go ahead, rant! I absolutely hate when people think they understand about stuff they have never experienced! Example: When Corey Monteith died of a drug overdose my dad went of this rant about how "he was just another bored, rich, famous asshole who had it coming for him". Not that I have any emotional ties with Corey or anything but I cannot even pretend to know what being addicted to drugs feels like!? I've never really been addicted to anything in my life (I don't just mean substances, like it literally baffles me how girls can be so obsessed with Justin Bieber that it literally consumes them as a person?? Like yes I can recognize his attractiveness and talent but nothing could ever possess me to make death threats to whomever he was currently dating.) Anyways, from what I know, Corey Monteith was an excellent person with a tragic drug problem and I have no right to act like I'm educated in the field of drug abuse or the effect it has on the chemicals in your brain.

9. What’s your favorite scent? Anything warm- like (once again) fall scents. Pumpkin scented things are the best but I also love baked goods smells.

10. If you could be anything (not anybody) else, what would you be? I would definitely be more motivated.

11. What’s your favorite book? If you don’t like to read, what’s your favorite show, sport, game, etc? Tuck Everlasting was my first favorite book so I'm just going to go with that. (It may still be my favorite book but I'm not even going to try to compare it to the all my other "favorite books") My Questions for the Folks I’ll Tag: 1) What is your favorite song and why?

- again, I can’t decide. I went to mumford & sons’ last concert on their massive tour yesterday so I guess their albums are pretty stuck in my figurative heart rn

(I'm just going to leave Phoebe's answer here because I share her opinion on this but I will also add Van Morrisons, Moondance.)

2) If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why? Definitely the ability to communicate with animals because sometimes Guinevere (my bunny) acts a bit strange and I wish I could just be like, "hey man, you okay?" and she could be like "actually I was really hoping you'd change my litter soon, I'm tired of sitting in my own feces."

3) You’re in a plane and it’s going down, you have time to make one phone call. Who do you call? What do you say to them? I don't even want to think about this. 4) Please describe your best friend. He's 6'3, super tan, dark hair, brown eyes, half Vietnamese half American, he has a clef lip that gives him this adorably crooked smile  which is a big part of what makes him him and he's really goofy and laughs a lot (especially when I cross my eyes for some reason) and he's kind and chivalrous and brings me care packages when I'm sick and always takes me to dances when no one else will ask me. 5) NSYNC or Backstreet Boys? - whichever is the one where justin timberlake had the ramen noodle hair

(Again, leaving Phoebe's answer here.) 6) What would you like your future to be? Bright. 7) What’s your favorite childhood memory?

Probably the times when my brothers were still in school and would still bother to come home at night to spend time with us and we would all stay up late watching a movie together and then Patrick would make milkshakes and David would start talking about something that would make him sound smarter than everyone else (mostly because he was) and we would all sit around drinking shakes and acting like we hated each other but truthfully those were the only times I really felt like we loved each other. 8) Who is your favorite family member? Either my mother or my cousin Morgan. They are two of the most fantastic ladies on this planet and not a single person will ever top them. 9) Do you know any languages that aren’t your native one?

Um, I've taken two year of French but I cannot by any means claim to be fluent in it. I'm mostly just taking it to get credits to graduate rather than expand my cultural horizons which is somewhat unfortunate I suppose..

10) Name three fears you have. 1. Becoming a statistic.

2. Loosing people who have been in my life a long time.

3. Elevators.

11) What is your favorite thing about your favorite book/television show/movie/any other form of entertainment?

Oh gosh, I guess that it just gives me an excuse to think about something other than myself and depending on the show, expands my way of thinking about things? Or allows me to put myself into a "new world" while watching/reading it other than my own, mundane existence.

I’m not writing eleven new questions because this already took ages to complete and I’m not going to saddle anyone up with even more.
