[QUESTIONS BY SIGNATURESCARF]

Spring, summer, autumn, or winter? Why? Winter. Because it's the most stark, the most striking -- think of frost on the windowpane, and your breath fogging, and everything sparkling fresh after a snowfall. I love the outdoors, and indoors; I love going out and messing around with my dog in a big snow drift, and I love coming in and curling up in a blanket with four layers and reading something.

Describe your style. Affordable, haha. More specifically: solid print dresses, and liberal arts scarves, and cardigans, and ballet flats, and skirts. I look very much like the white middle-class college-educated girl that, in fact, I am. Mostly in primary colors. (I used to chant "SWEATPANTS ARE FOR QUITTERS" to myself to make myself dress fine, but. Dude. I quit. Sweat pants can be so good.)

How tall are you and how tall do you want to be?  I'm 5'4", which makes me officially average as ladies go, I think. I think I've always wanted to be 5'7 or 5'2", something not so terribly middle of the road. Taller might be better? Essentially, I have the body type of a blueberry muffin, and some height could help.

If you could start a company, what would it be of and what would you name it? Something mythical, maybe? Like all the supervillains have. Like FIREBIRD INCORPORATED.

Do you have a pet? What is it? If not, what would you get? (Any kind of creature allowed!) I have had a horse, and dogs galore, and cats, and a tarantula, and a python, and fish, and very briefly a crab. My current pet? Cosmo, the welsh corgi.

How do(did) you take notes in school? I'm on my way back to school for round two in the fall, but I would go through notebook upon notebook at school. I didn't make interesting notes. I would start with a sort of summarizing or initial point, - Like so -- then more detailed notes preceded by a longer line, like this -- and this. -- and also this. I used to get really frustrated when the lecture got progressively layered, and so I would have to keep adding larger and larger bars before the notes, and guess where they were going. Or if a note took a little over a line, but only a little, I'd get ansty and add prepositional phrases to make it more aesthetically pleasing. /crazytown

Your all-time favorite scene/quote of a book/film/show/anything. (Bonus points if you can give a link.) "Do not weep. Do not wax indignant. Understand." - Baruch de Spinoza And also this: "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool." - Almost Famous

What’s the worst illness you’ve had? Measles and mumps, I think. I can't actually get inoculations, I'm allergic to something used in the process. So keep your smallpox away from me, plz.

Favorite/most visited website. Gosh. Hard to pick. I'm a big fan of a bunch of webcomics, and blogs. Despite actively shooting for the other gender, Art of Manliness always has interesting things, and Gunnerkrigg Court and Girl Genius are webcomics that I look forward to every MWF. But probably the king of the castle is Fluxblog, which I have read religiously for five years.

Describe a science project you made in elementary or high school. Rofl. Well, in fifth grade, Kelsey Boyd and I made a labyrinth for her blind kitten, and attempted to race it against a seeing kitten. Fun fact: cats and cardboard labyrinths are not a match made in heaven.

Favorite reaction gif, viral video, and/or meme it's a tie.
