1) favorite fictional character and why:  Nooooo don't make me choose just one :( Um it depends whether we're talking funniest or most inspirational or most attractive or what but I think I'm gonna say Hermione Granger because she was a major influence on me when I was really little and I identify with her a lot and also she's a total badass

2) favorite poet: Emily Dickinson or Andrea Gibson

3) worst thing someone has ever said about you: If and when people say bad things about me they tend to do it out of my earshot so thankfully I don't know any of it

4) best compliment you've ever received: The best compliment I can remember was recently when Fury told me she loved my smile even though she couldn't see me smiling at the time :)

5) favorite beatles song: Blackbird (I listened to that song on repeat for a few days and I'm still not sick of it)

6) what time of day are you happiest/saddest? Usually I'm happiest just before I go to sleep, when I can kind of think about all the good stuff that's going on in my life, but that depends on what kind of day I've had

7) favorite flower: This is super cliche but I love roses (they have soft petals and pretty colors and they smell nice) (also my middle name is rose)

8) if you had a patronus what form would it take? Either a dove or a dolphin

9) do ghosts exist? Yeah definitely but not in the way that your question is probably asking. People's spirits hang around in our minds and the places we remember them and the things we do and see and hear every day that remind us of them, and sometimes it's almost a tangible feeling. But I don't think that ghosts themselves "exist" as physical entities

10) otp: Actually, my otp changes pretty frequently. Right now it's Cecil/Carlos from Welcome to Night Vale

11) favorite musical instrument to listen to: Piano! I have a whole album of piano instrumentals on my phone and it's gorgeous :)

12) is it better to live a fantastic perfect life, and have no life/consciousness after death OR is it better to lead a sad/normal life and be granted with life after death and heaven/ the option becoming a sick-ass ghost? This is tough for me to answer because on the one hand, I'm terrified of the concept of nothingness and nonexistence, but on the other hand, I think my life is pretty great already and I wouldn't want to give that up just for some nebulous promise of an afterlife. Actually, much as I fear not existing, it would be worse to exist forever (in heaven or as a ghost or however). That would be awful. So yeah, as long as I get a fantastic life here on earth, I couldn't care less what happens after it ends.

And here are some questions for other people: 1) What's the first thing you notice about a person? 2) Favorite book in the Harry Potter series? 3) A song that always cheers you up? 4) A song that makes you sad? 5) If you could be any age right now, how old would you be? 6) Do you believe in the idea of soulmates? 7) Favorite thing you've done this summer? 8) Favorite piece of clothing in your closet? 9) What's the best gift you've been given? 10) What's one quality you admire most in other people? 11) What's one quality you like about yourself? 12) Scariest movie you've seen?
