#surveys

Name all the pets you’ve ever had. Scamper, Chippy, Libby, Turbo, Apollo, and Luna.

Are you on break, or do you still have a couple days of school left? I haven't been a student since 2012.

Do you like Stephen King novels? I've actually never read one before. I have a few of his books on my to-read list, though.

Have you ever had a macaroon? Yes.

One of my friends dislikes animals in general. Are you like her? No. Now I'm curious what kind of psychological traits lead to someone disliking animals... that just seems odd to me.

Do you prefer being on time, or do you not mind being late? Of course I'd prefer to be on time or a bit early, but I'm also not one of those types of people who are really uptight/neurotic about it and have a freakout if they're even just a tiny bit late. Being a few minutes late usually isn't as big of a catastrophe as some people act like it is.

What is one adventurous thing you’d be willing to do? (ex: skydive) There are adventurous things that I wish I could do, but a lot of them involve loud engines (go into space, fly in a fighter jet, fly a Stearman or other open-cockpit biplane), and my hearing disorder now makes it impossible for me to be in loud environments. I could go backcountry snowshoeing and winter camping, though. That's something that's both adventurous and quiet enough to not aggravate my hearing issues, and I've always thought that looks really interesting.

Name all the pets you’ve ever had. Nippy. She's the only one who's all mine that I raised myself.

Are you on break, or do you still have a couple days of school left? I haven't been in school in years.

Do you like Stephen King novels? I did when I used to read a lot more often.

Have you ever had a macaroon? Maybe?

One of my friends dislikes animals in general. Are you like her? I will never in my life be like that. Thank god. That sounds awful.

Do you prefer being on time, or do you not mind being late? I don't get a choice. I'm only as punctual as the people I'm forced to depend on to be anywhere. I'd prefer to be a little early every time.

What is one adventurous thing you’d be willing to do? (ex: skydive) Wheelchair bungee jumping, the accessible Edgewalk experience if we have time and they have spots when we're in Toronto. Lots of things.

Have you ever made a bucket list? Mentally, sure. I haven't actually written one.

What subject at school did you absolutely hate? Math and some areas of science.

How many cell phones have you gone through up till now? I don't fucking know. Not too many.

Italian food or Chinese food? Italian.

Do you have more than the standard earlobe piercings? I don't even have those anymore.

Ever studied a foreign language? Yes. I'm fluent or highly proficient in 6 total.

Don’t you hate it when your family eats all the ice cream at home? What family? I'm on my own. I don't buy or really like ice cream.

Ever been in a near death situation? If so, what happened? Yes. I won't be going into detail about them.

Do you like to make flash cards when you study? Never did that. Didn't find it to be a helpful study method.

Favorite flavor of gum? I never really chew gum, so I don't care too much.

Do you tend to be frugal, or are you more comfortable spending money? I don't really have the luxury of being anything but frugal.

Do you have a connection to any religion? Not anymore, no. I'm a staunch atheist in my adulthood.

Ever played a team sport, or are you not sporty at all? No.

Do you put posters on your bedroom walls? I have one that I made. The rest are framed pictures on my little musical influences wall.

Do you sleep with one leg sticking out of the covers? Sometimes. I have extremely weird, frightening dreams. Do you? Sometimes.

Has anyone ever told you that you’re a good singer? Yes.

Ever been to the Big Apple? If not, do you want to visit? I do want to. My cousin and my sister both have and I'm so envious.

Opinion on Gangnam Style? It grates on me very quickly.

Do you ever watch TED talks, live or online? I have seen some, but they're not something I intentionally seek out.

Did you ever watch the Lizzie McGuire movie? Yes!

If you did, do you know what the guy that played Gordo looks like now? (ew) I haven't kept up with what any of the actors from the movie look like, minus Hillary Duff. I've seen what she looks like since.

How many email accounts do you have? Three.

Ever shamelessly played Farmville on Facebook? I thought it was stupid. My mum was obsessed with it and it pissed me off.

Are you a big fan of dessert? Not usually.

Ever had a brush with the paranormal? If so, describe. No.

Were you one of the popular kids in high school? Lmfao, good joke.

I dare you to write the name of a person you strongly dislike. Yeah, not doing that.

Do you know the band Vampire Weekend? No.

What do you think about Marilyn Manson? I don't think about Marilyn Manson.

In general, do you prefer going out or staying home? Going out, but I don't get to. I'm always fucking trapped at home.

Biggest trouble you’ve ever gotten into at school? I didn't get in trouble at school. Nothing big enough to mention, anyway.

Do you own one of those “professional” DSLR cameras? No.

Does it bother you when you see a 6th grader with a bunch of gadgets? I don't give a fuck. I've enough of my own problems. Raise your children how you wish. They'll turn out well or they won't. Nothing I think or say will make any difference.

Favorite pair of shoes? I don't have one.

Where were you on 9/11? School, probably. Any food in particular you just can’t get enough of? No. I'm too upset and stressed to eat. There's been too much awful shit happening for me to care about food.

Did you buy yearbooks every year in high school, or did you not bother? We couldn't afford to. Nothing about that place is worth remembering anyway.

Do you have Restless Legs Syndrome? I do. It sucks. No.

Are you a fan of British Youtubers? (Marcus Butler, JacksGap, etc) Not that I can think of. I used to like Lucy Sutcliffe, but she's not a YouTuber anymore.

Favorite concerts you’ve been to? Did you scream until you were hoarse? Darius Rucker has been the best so far.

So where were you when the Boston Marathon bombing happened? I don't remember.

Rainy days on the weekend: yay or nay? Nay. I hate rainy/stormy weather. Triggers migraines for me.

Do you look down on girls that wear shorts with Uggs? I don't look down on anybody for anything they choose to wear. Waste of time.

Californian girls talk and dress a certain way, don’t they? Every demographic has pockets of people who talk and dress a certain way.

Ever crushed on a teacher? If so, what subject did he/she teach? Fuck no. Most of my teachers were mean and rude and gross. The ones I actually respected I never would have crushed on. That's so weird.

Why did you close the door the last time you closed one? Weird answer, but I was getting into my car lol. I've been hanging out in my car for a while because the smoke from the wildfires in Canada has made the air quality here so hazardous that it's unhealthy even inside the house. My car has a really good HEPA air filtration system, and I'd rather just chill in my car than have to wear an N95 mask in the house all day. My air quality monitor was showing PM2.5 of 120 inside, but in the car it's down to 6. I ordered some new air purifiers so I'll go back inside once those are delivered sometime this evening.

Stripes or polka dots? Stripes, I guess.

Do you care if people touch you when they’re talking to you? I don't mind it at all if it's someone I'm close with. If it's anyone else, then I'd find that very intrusive and rude and I'd want them to get away from me.

What is your gender? I'm biologically female, but my gender identity is more "meh, whatever, doesn't matter" lmao.

Do you think that people think it's obvious? I'm obviously female, and I also think it's somewhat noticeable that I'm sort of gender nonconforming, especially to those who know me well.

Is your favorite color within 10 feet of you? No.

What colour is the photo frame closest to you? I don't have any photo frames in my bedroom.

Would you have any idea what your parents are doing right now? Dead.

How many windows (roughly) does your house have? 4.

Do you have a good relationship with your cousins? No. Cousins on my dad's side grew some fucked up superiority complex as they got older, and the cousins on my mom's side cut me off because I'm not tucking my tail between my legs and forgiving my family for all of the fucked up shit they did.

What was the last kids movie you saw? My daughter and I watched We bought a Zoo a couple of weeks ago.

Are you sleepy right now? I'm fucking exhausted. I have barely slept over the last week. These disrespectful cunts that live under us never turn their fucking music off. It is constantly blaring and I can't even sleep in my own goddamned bedroom. Doesn't matter if it's 7am, 2pm, or 1am, they are blaring that fucking shit. A noise complaint has been filed against them, but not a fucking thing is being done. I'm about to go feral and handle it myself if these asshole landlords don't take action. We are paying an ungodly amount of money to live here. We shouldn't be forced out of our own safe spaces because some entitled fucking college kids think they rules don't apply to them.

She called me first and was hyped up on coffee the whole night. I was so quiet that first time. She was like, "damn, does this girl talk?" Now I joke that she's secretly begging "take me back" because I don't shut up. No shyness or hesitations with her at all after this long knowing each other. She's my best friend and knows me like the back of her hand. I can tell her anything.
