really never understood the appeal of ketchup + rice

YOOOOO. yeah i feel you. I just got out of my calculus class and let me tell you. Fuck that nonsense.

Lotsa questions under the cut 

Above all else, confidence is key. Obvs don’t make it come off as arrogance, but demonstrating that you are confident in your abilities and that you are qualified for the position is very necessary. So maybe being a little tipsy helps (wait, no)

1. Getting to do what I love and get paid for it rocks

2. When your prof makes the last like 4 assignments optional / used to make up zeros / extra credit

3. Strong coffee

4. Sleep

1) if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

Hmm prepare for a long answer. 

Well I grew up reading series like the Spiderwick Chronicles, the Land of Elyon, the Series of Unfortunate Events, the Chronicles of Narnia, Maximum Ride, and Nancy Drew. There are countless novels that I can't remember the names to now, but I know I loved reading and still do and they all influenced me in one way or another. Must reads for me are the Lovely Bones, Cage of Stars, House of Leaves and those are just the ones I can remember without looking at my bookcase at home. If manga counts then read EVERYTHING by Junji Ito.

As far as watching goes uhhh... Ghibli films, and a stupid amount of anime. A stupid amount of American cartoons as well. Animated shorts of all kinds. Disney and other animated feature films. Markiplier's videos have been a fairly recent influence on my life.

My taste in music can best be described as "oh hey that sounds neat lets listen to that". I'm not gonna list things here because that'd get ridiculous. If anyone is really that curious just send an ask.

2) have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?

I tend to relate to characters more than their writers. *shrugs* Mark Z. Danielewski did a super cool thing with House of Leaves. I dunno that's about as close as I get to relating to an author.

8) what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?

Marina Diamandis, Kimya Dawson, Mother Mother, and Vocaloid (I'm weeb trash and I'm sorry)

11) describe your ideal day.
