Rule Four: Let them know you’ve tagged them.))

1. What is your greatest personal failure? Why?

Worth would be quick to pass this question over, since he doesn't like dwelling on his failures. For that matter, he doesn't like seeing them as failures. He wasn't a failure for dropping out of med school, he just decided his path took him elsewhere in life. He wasn't a failure for losing contact with his family, they're all just dicks who rejected him first and never understood him. He's not a failure for becoming addicted to numerous substances, since he succeeds in doing them without dying and that's something to be damn proud of, considering how much drugs he does ingest on a daily basis. 

2. What is your greatest personal success? Why?

He's answering with a few things here:

Successfully keeping almost every pair of shoes after every hobo fight he ever got into

Successfully not overdosing in college, although Lamont had a hand in that one

Successfully obtaining Conrad's apartment key. Apparently he's viewing it like some sort of loot won from a particularly hard boss fight in a video game???? He won't say any more on the matter to me though.

Successfully sort of killing psycho!Worth and getting away from him, even though psycho!Worth was a vampire at the time and Worth didn't manage to actually kill him at all. But he says it was the attempt that counts.

3. You know that object/trinket/thing/article of clothing that you still have? The one that’s so close to your heart, the one you cling to when you’re nervous or scared or sad? Why haven’t you thrown it away?

That would be his white coat with the fur collar. He's got fur collars on a lot of his coats, simply because he likes the style and thinks it makes him look good, but that particular coat is the oldest and most dear to him. The fur was sewn on by hand by a friend, whom he refuses to name to me, and acts basically as his armor. Both metaphorically and physically. 

4. So, you’re outside somewhere, and you see a turtle on its back. It can’t get up without help. Why aren’t you helping it?

Because he's crouching beside the turtle, waiting for it to flip itself back around. He's heard somewhere that turtles can't turn around from that position on their own, but he thinks that's ridiculous. If the turtle tries hard enough, it certainly will. How else would it survive, if he wasn't there to help it? 

So he's gonna sit there for a long couple of minutes and watch, maybe poke at it and cuss at it and tell it to get it's shit together. And then if it still can't he's going to take mercy on the poor turtle and turn it over himself. 

But he would have much rather the turtle turned over on it's own. 

More interesting to watch, anyway.

5. What is one food you will never touch (again) and why?

Watermelons. 

He will not discuss why publicly. 

6. When you were young, what was something that you didn’t understand about the world? How did you justify its existence? (ex: where do babies come from?)

When he was very very young, he had no concept of money. His family always had plenty of it, and he wasn't given a good idea of what it took to properly earn it till he was in his teens. So in his younger years he viewed money as a constant, like the sun and the moon, and his father didn't go to work for money, he went to work because that's what he did. Like the tide going in and out, his father moved in and out of the house every day and money was always there.

When they went to ATM or the bank, Worth had no concept that the money they took out was his parents', that they had earned it and it had been deposited into a specific bank account. He just figured the atm machines and the tellers at the bank gave out money whenever people needed it, and until he was about 5 or 6 he wondered why poor people didn't just "go to the bank and get some money."

7. Name three things you are good at. Things we would be surprised to know about.

Braiding hair, thanks to his sister

Painting nails, thanks going again to his sister

Writing essays. His short time in college honed his skill at bullshitting, and the rest of his life sharpened it. Besides, you had to become pretty damn good at writing essays when you left to the last minute and had to scribble them out in the bathroom of your latest one night's stand's dorm. 

8. What is the longest amount of time you’ve waited for something? What was it? Why did you have to wait so long? Was it worth it?

...He's... telling me that one time he got a frozen pizza, figuring it was one of those kinds he could just pop in the microwave because it was a small single serving size, but in fact the directions said specifically DO NOT MICROWAVE. So he had to sit there while it baked in the oven for 17 minutes and stewed the whole time, and it wasn't even that tasty of a fucking pizza.

But he's holding onto that apartment key while he's talking. *shrug*

9. According to family lore, what was your first word that was not something like “mama” or “dada?”

His first work was, reportedly, "fuck."

10. What’s something you have done that you assumed you would hate but you ended up liking? How did you know you liked it?

He really didn't think he'd like giving blow jobs. 

Lmao.

11. You go to the drug store stinking drunk and buy some items on accident. What are they?

A pregnancy test

one can of orange flavored faygo

a greeting card that says "Congratulations Graduate"

a box of scooby doo bandaids

a bottle of glitter nail polish
