1 - Are you interested in any reality TV shows?
>> Some of them do look interesting but I just never get around to checking them out. But a lot of them are competition-based in some way (even if it's just, like, social posturing) and I'm very uninterested in competition. Shows like Naked & Afraid seem intriguing because of the "wow, how on earth will they survive xyz??" aspect, and sometimes I find shows like Milf Manor fascinating in much the same way that I find nature documentaries fascinating. Ultimately, the interest always wanes because it's just not that engaging for me personally. I have never watched more than like 3 episodes of a reality show, I just get bored and move on.
2 - When was the last time you made plans with someone? What are you going to do with that person?
>> The last time I made plans with someone was in May. We went to the goth dance night for my birthday.
3 - How often (if ever) do you use moisturizer?

>> Body pillow, phone, vape, bag of chips, sunglasses.
5 - Have you had any of your wisdom teeth removed? What was the reason? (eg. infection, impaction, lack of space).

.
10 - Do you use a laptop, desktop, tablet or phone to take your surveys?
>> I use a laptop.
11 - Are you fussy when it comes to how your surveys are formatted on your blog?
>> I am. LJ is perfectly fine with this; Tumblr however has notoriously janky formatting so I can only hope for so much, but I do my best.
12 - How old were you when you first got internet access at home? Was it broadband or did you have dial-up first?
>> I was eighteen and it was dial-up.
13 - When was the last time you painted your nails?
>> It's been a while because I always completely forget that it's an option. My nail polishes are probably no good anymore anyway, I've had them for years.
14 - What’s your typical order when you go to Starbucks (or wherever your favourite coffee shop is)?
>> My typical order varies depending on location. At one local coffee shop I always order either one of their seasonal special drinks or an ube matcha. At another local coffee shop I always order a matcha latte or some kind of black tea latte. If it's a coffee shop I've never been to, it will still depend on what they have on their menu and what I'm in the mood for.
15 - What’s your favourite thing to have on toast?

.
19 - How often do you travel by public transport?
>> Not terribly often, but that's because I rarely go anywhere, lol. When I do go places that are too far to walk to and Sparrow isn't going, I take public transport.
20 - Do you have an instagram account? If so, how often do you post on there and what kind of things do you post?
>> I do. I have posted exactly three times and they were just simple photos with a short caption. The main reason I have an account isn't to post, it's so that I can look at stuff on Instagram (it won't let you see hardly anything without being signed in), and also to follow people I know IRL who have accounts on there.
21 - Are you close to your extended family? Do you wish you were closer?
.
22 - Do you prefer to give your pets human names or not?

24 - When was the last time you went to a BBQ restaurant?
.
25 - When was the last time you re-arranged the furniture? Is this something you like to do often?
>> I don't rearrange the furniture in my room, it's already in the perfect configuration and unless I get some other piece of furniture that requires me to move other things around, I'm probably never going to change the layout.
26 - Have you ever used a fire extinguisher? Would you know how to use one without reading the instructions?
>> I have not and I do not know how.

>> Uh... to look at the weather app, probably.
29 - Did you used to play The Sims? What version or expansion pack was your favourite one to play?
>> I've played 2, 3, and 4. I think the life & death one for 4 is my favourite expansion pack of all time. I also tend to favour the ones that add magic or fantasy elements to the game. The adventure one in 3 was really neat, I liked the tomb-exploring minigames and such.
30 - What was the last thing you used a lighter for?
>> To light incense.
1 - When was the last time you lost your voice?
>> That hasn't happened since... high school? I know I've been to a lot of concerts and stuff where this has the potential of happening, but I still can't recall a time when I actually lost my voice as opposed to just having a sore throat the next day.
2 - How long have you owned the device you’re currently using to take this survey?
>> I've had this laptop since 2019.
3 - Have you ever given yourself a piercing? Where? If not, would you?
>> I pierced my own ear a few times. That strikes me as a particularly young thing to do, I know much better now.
4 - Would you ever consider opening your own business? What would you do?
>> I have subzero interest in business of any kind.
5 - Do you like scented candles? What’s your favourite kind of scent?

8 - What was the last thing you bought off Amazon?
>> Valerian root capsules.
9 - When you last went food shopping, what did you buy? How much did it come to?
>> A lot of things. I don't remember.
10 - What’s your most hated household chore? What about the least hated?
>> Anything involving the bathroom and half of the things involving the kitchen. I am least off-put by laundry, because it's very low effort and doesn't involve touching anything gross. Also, I like to fold clothes. Floors aren't so bad either, especially now that I have a cordless multi-surface vac and one of those flat mops with the cleaner-spray thing and detachable washable pad.
11 - What kinds illnesses or conditions run in your family? Have you been diagnosed with any of them?
.

.
20 - What’s your favourite thing to order at a breakfast buffet?
.
21 - Are you into the whole matcha trend?
>> I'm into matcha, trend or no. I love the way it tastes. I got some from a local place but now I have to get the whisk and stuff to make it with and I can't afford that right now so it's just sitting there... mocking me... :(
22 - What brand of phone do you have? Would you change it if you could?
>> Samsung. I don't want to change phones. I'm so tired of having to buy new phones.
23 - Are there any TV shows or movies coming out soon that you want to see?
>> Always. I can never remember them off the top of my head, though. I wait for them to pop up on the "new episodes/new movies" sections on Flixtor and then go "OH YEAH :D"
24 - Where do you get most of your clothes from? Would that change if you had more money?
>> Thrift shops. It would indeed, but I'd have to have a lot more money.
25 - Have you ever ridden an animal that wasn’t a horse or pony?
>> I've never ridden any animal.
26 - Do you agree with breeding different species together, like tigers and lions for example?

2. Can you do math in your head well?
>> Fairly well, although I still struggle with percentages sometimes (particularly if it's not 10%, 25%, or 50%), and I don't even bother trying to mentally multiply numbers that have 2 or more digits each.
3. What’s your least favorite chore to do around the house?
>> The bathroom. It is beyond my least favourite, I am viscerally repelled by the very idea. Fortunately I have finally, finally gotten Sparrow to do it (and I just do everything else save for their dishes and their own rooms).
4. What’s your favorite flavor of potato chip?
>> Salt and pepper if I'm eating them with a sandwich, Zapp's Voodoo flavour if I'm eating them alone.
5. Do you ever read the weather forecast?
>> I use the weather app on my phone constantly.
6. Do amusement park rides make you sick?
>> I guess not, considering I did Mission: Space while crossfaded that one time. (I do imagine anything like a teacup ride would make me feel a bit ill, but not majorly.)
7. Who is your favorite Star Wars character?
>> I don't have one, but I think Darth Maul is pretty neat. I'd probably have favourites if I delved into the Extended Universe, but the movies didn't do much for me.
8. What kind of cheese do you put on your sandwiches?

.
23. Have you ever given someone a fake phone number?

24. Do you actually eat 3 meals a day?
>> I eat on an intuitive schedule as opposed to a structured one, so it varies. It also depends on how much food there is in the house; right now it's the fallow period before SNAP refills, so I've been eating like one meal a day and then whatever I can scrounge up through the rest of the day.

32. Have you lied to anyone in the last 24 hours?
>> I have not.
33. What’s the most expensive restaurant you’ve ever eaten at?
>> Hmm... maybe one of the Disney restaurants, they're pretty expensive. Or The Boathouse in Traverse City. All of the majorly high-quality restaurants I've been to were paid for by someone else so I don't actually know how much everything cost.
34. How many jobs have you had?
.
35. Are you keeping a secret from anyone right now?

I'm not sure, but a movie that I found really creepy and unsettling that I watched somewhat recently was <파묘> (or Exhuma in English). <- man this movie is SO GOOD
>> Anyway, I don't have an answer to this because I don't have this reaction to horror movies. But I agree that the aforementioned was quite creepy, and so was Gonjiam Haunted Asylum particularly at the end. IME Korean, Japanese, and Chinese horror always has the best and most unforgettable vibes, they really know what they're doin over there.
52. Do you eat your mac & cheese with a fork or a spoon?
>> Spoon. I eat everything with a spoon that I can possibly can, and if I can't then I eat it with chopsticks. Rarely will I use a fork.

I haven't really heard any new albums this year, I don't think. Nothing that stands out, certainly.
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { What was the last thing you did alone that you thought would have been more enjoyable if you had someone to do it with? }

>> I am still in the middle of that jigsaw puzzle I've been doing.
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { How do you feel about the popularity of GLP-1s used specifically for weight loss? }
>> Wack. I don't have a more elegant opinion than that, I just think the whole thing is fucking wack and I'm tired of hearing about it. Tired of hearing about weight loss in general, in fact. Fatphobia is a sickness and I hope the United States gets better soon 🖤
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { What TV series have you been into this year? }
>> I got back into Archer recently, lol. Really random old fave to get back into, but I'm glad to be back into it. Cape Fear just wrapped up and that was solid, love having one of my favourite actors play one of my favourite characters, that's always a delight. I finally started watching Evil again after dropping it a couple years back (for no reason, really, I just do that sometimes) and man that shit is SO GOOD. God, it's so good. Uhh... hmm. I've been watching a lot of things, honestly, I always am. Oh, on the anime front, I have started Witch Hat Atelier and it's so pretty. Also Qifrey 🥰
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { How have your feelings/thoughts about AI evolved over time? }

‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { Has your taste in music stayed consistent throughout your life or do you dislike songs you once loved? }
>> It's been consistent in the sense that I've always loved some kind of dramatic-ass music. I started with gospel and Earth Wind and Fire and pop divas like Céline and Mariah and honestly becoming a rock fan/metalhead was bound to be the next step if you ask me. At no point in my life have I ever stopped liking what I used to like, I've always just gotten to like more and more things. The songs I loved when I was like 10 are still songs I love now (At the Stars by Better Than Ezra is still in frequent rotation in my library and that was my favourite song in 1998).
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { What was the last thing that happened that made you want to complain? }
>> They're building a fucking whole ass house across the street from me and it's so annoying. Just nonstop sound for like 6 to 8 hours every weekday. Also now I can't sit on my stoop and chill in the morning like I sometimes do. (I can, physically, it's just not the conditions I find relaxing at all so there's no point.)
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { Do you have nostalgia for the y2k aesthetic? What are some y2k things you especially like? }
>> I don't, but I can see why people would. That was a pretty fun aesthetic. I particularly like the see-through tech and the "futuristic" vibes.
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { Have you been collecting anything lately? What about specific items you’ve been shopping for in general? }
.
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { Is there any internet drama/scandals/topics du jour that you have opinions about? }
>> Not really, I just be watchin with my metaphorical opera glasses on like 👀🍿
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { What is something unusual that turns you on? }
>> As a staunch xenosexual with the kind of kinks most people prefer not to bring up in public, I think just about everything that turns me on is unusual from a human perspective.
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { Who are some sources you trust to give you nuanced and accurate information/news? }
.
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { What was the last new technology you encountered that genuinely surprised you in some way? }
>> I don't even think I've encountered any new tech recently. I'm kind of allergic to new tech at this point because it always just straight up sucks. 😑
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { When was the last time you felt like you were part of a group/connected to other people? }
.
‧₊˚ 🎀˚₊‧ { If your friend invited you over to their place to listen to a new album release would you go? What if they invited you to watch a movie together at home? If not, what would you like to do with a friend at their home? }
>> I mean, I guess. It's not a situation I can properly imagine myself in but I also can't imagine why I'd refuse, yknow. I like music and movies. Those are some of the main things I like, in fact.
What was the highest place you've ever jumped from?
>> I have no idea.
Have you ever gone swimming in a river?

Would you ever consider culinary school?
>> I would not.
What was the last souvenir someone got you?
>> I got a souvenir for myself in Punta Cana (a cute tank top), but they were paid for by Sparrow's mother, so I guess that still counts.

Are you afraid of standing on the edge of hills/skyscrapers/cliffs etc?
>> I am. What if a really, really big gust happens at that very moment???? If there's any sort of railing or whatever, though, I'm fine.

>> I do! I really like clouded leopards and snow leopards.

.

>> I haven't.
What's the book you're currently reading?

>> I'm not sure what that would be. I've seen a lot of the movies that you tend to see on those "Top 10 Most DISTURBING Movies!!! 😱🙈" type listicles, but I'm not disturbed by movies so I am not the right person to ask if they're disturbing or not.
Has anyone you know gotten mono?

Can you say yes/no in different languages?
>> I can.
Out of the traditional superheroes, which one is your favorite?
>> How traditional are we talking? Like... been around since the Golden Age of Comics? None, they didn't start making superheroes I like until the Silver Age. I think the oldest superhero that's a fave of mine is Iron Man.

Do you swear often?

>> Of course not. I'd have to form an emotional attachment to someone first, and that's highly unlikely to happen. Other people seem to have that happen constantly? so I could understand why they'd be afraid of heartbreak.

>> Sparrow.
Why did you last cry?
>> I don't even remember. It's been a while.
Are you hungry right now? If so, what are you craving?

Have you ever been in a choir?

Give out your phone number over the internet?

It's really only necessary if you don't have Discord and it's likely you'll be sending me time-sensitive messages when I'm going to be away from my computer, for example if we're coordinating a meetup. I've had to tell multiple people that I do not have FB Messenger on my phone and you couldn't pay me to download that mess.
Do you look older or younger than you actually are?
>> Someone a couple of days ago assumed I was in my 20s. I think it's often a combination of people not really knowing what people at different ages look like, the fact that I don't dress conservatively, and the majority age group of people that tend to go to, say, queer social events, lol (they tend to skew younger).
When is the next time you’ll be up on stage?

>> I do, I was in class.
Do you think that snow days won’t exist now that we have virtual learning?

Do you have much of a sweet tooth?
>> I don't, I rarely crave sweets and even when I do want something sweet, I think my sweetness tolerance is significantly lower than the average USAmerican's. (This is probably because I wasn't allowed refined sugar as a child. The one thing about my childhood that actually benefited me in the long run instead of the opposite.)
Have you ever had to call 9-1-1 for someone else?
>> I have.
What do you dip your French fries in?

What’s the last food that you prepared for yourself?
>> I had cottage cheese with mango for breakfast. I was trying out mango as a possible pairing but it turns out I don't like those flavours together, so I'll go back to peaches for now.
What’s your favorite type of cheese?
>> My preferences depend on what it's being paired with.
Do you prefer “regular kissing” or French kissing?

Are you more likely to give a hickey to someone else or get one?
>> Get one, I guess? I'm not really interested in hickeys.
What is something you fail at, no matter how hard you try?
>> Video game theorycrafting/build-making. I just don't think I have the head for it. I do keep trying it though because it's really low-stakes to just mess around with builds in a video game, and I enjoy trying to do it (I always learn something in the process). If I fuck it up I can just start over, or find a build online and use that instead. Games are the best thing to fail repeatedly at because you have infinite do-overs (as long as you have the game) and there's no consequences for fucking up. Great for building tolerance to failure and frustration.
When was the last time you swam in a pool? 🏊♀️
>> I was last in a pool a couple of weeks ago. I discovered that I'm really buoyant which is probably another hindrance to me learning how to swim (it's harder to control my body in the water because it just bobs around so easily and that's kind of nerve-wracking).

Who do you turn to if you need help?
.
Are you more dependent or independent?
>> I used to be more counterdependent than anything else. I don't have a support system so I am still more independent than anything, but I also can't support myself financially so I am permanently dependent from a practical perspective. It's an interesting paradox.

1. What were you doing the last time you spent a night away from home (or wherever you regularly reside)?
>> I was at a resort in Punta Cana. It was a somewhat novel experience but I am so, so glad to not be constantly wet anymore. My god, that humidity was brutal.

4. Does it ever bother you when you can’t remember all the details about a book you’ve read?
>> It does, but also I never remember details about anything because I read and watch and play so much shit.
5. Who was your favorite character in the last movie you watched? What about in the last book you read?
>> American Beauty is a masterclass in unlikeable characters, so, no one. I guess Janey was the least irritating/infuriating/weird (derogatory). The last book I finished was Interview With the Vampire and those versions of the characters are just not my favourite in general. I was pretty much only reading it for completionist reasons (I would have just started with TVL instead but it'd bother me if I did).
6. If you keep lists, what kind of topics do they cover?
.
7. Do you feel as though you’re good at understanding/communicating with animals?
>> No better than anyone else, I'm sure.
8. When was the last time you changed your mind about something? What happened to change your mind?
>> I had to change my mind every time I thought about going outside the past few days. My house is stuffy as hell right now but at least the air in it is breathable.
9. What are your dreams like? Do they have ongoing plots, or are they mostly random nonsense?
>> They do have ongoing plots with callbacks and motifs and everything. Sometimes they have random-nonsense vignettes, though. This is just what little of them I remember, though, there might be even more going on that I don't know about.
10. What is the biggest decision you’ve made in the past year?
>> Starting a DNRI.
11. Are photographs important to you? Do you like to take a lot of pictures?
>> They're not as important to me as they could be. I like to take photos but I always forget to because it's clearly just not a priority to me. But I'd like to make it more of one, because my long-term memory is shite and it'd be good to have an external visual-memory bank of sorts.
12. Would you rather hike through the desert, the prairies, the forest, or the tundra?
>> The forest.
13. If you could reconnect with someone from your past, who would it be and why?

19. What was the last book you couldn’t finish? What made it so unbearable?
>> It was some Horus Heresy book. I just didn't like it and didn't care about anything that was happening and I wanted to move on to the next book in the series.
20. What has changed the most for you over the past year?
>> Mostly my mental/emotional state has gotten a lot less turbulent and my relationship with my selves has improved.

How did it feel outside today?

Do you think clowns are creepy?
>> I don't. I'm disinterested in your average simplistic primary-colours children's-party clown, I just think they look silly but not in the fun way. I like the more classical clown designs a lot, though.

Who was the last person that apologized to you?
.
What comes to mind when you think of pregnancy?

So… remember Girl Scout cookies? Any favorites you had/have?
>> The lemon ones.
Why did you ignore the last person you ignored?
>> I actually set someone to "ignore" on Discord the other day because I realised I have never once been even slightly interested in anything they were saying and I was kind of tired of seeing their comments. I didn't realise the ignore feature had been added recently but I saw it when I went to block them and decided to try that because that's actually exactly what I wanted to do, lol.
Which cartoon character would you want to keep as a pet?
.

>> I do. I look like a ray of sunshine when I smile.

>> I don't.
Have you ever taken care of a drunk friend?
>> Many times. Although my more hands-off approach to care was usually just making sure they don't stumble into traffic or leave their bag full of expensive items somewhere in the street. Maybe pop down to the bodega and get them a baconeggncheese and a Gatorade. Most everything else they could just deal with the consequences of themself once they sobered up. They're grown.

Have you ever lost your luggage at an airport?
>> That's never happened to me.
Have you ever been on a rollercoaster that actually scared you?
>> Rollercoasters do scare me, but not in a way that makes me unable to get on them. I just quietly freak out on the incline, and then when it actually kicks off I'm fine. I just don't enjoy the anticipation (which is why I avoided Siren's Curse, but I do still want to get on it at some point). It's a bit irritating, if I'm honest, because I am very aware of how safe rollercoasters are and I do enjoy them very much as a concept (I follow like 10 coaster POV accounts on Tiktok, lmao). I'm sure if I rode them more often it'd become less of an issue, since I think it's largely the unfamiliarity of the unique feeling of being on a coaster that sparks my anxiety, but I very rarely go to amusement parks.
Do you know anyone who can fluently speak more than two languages?

Which is a fool's errand, obviously. If someone's going to respond badly to a confrontation, they're gonna do so no matter how I word it. But generally, I don't rehearse conversations.

Where did you go on your last field trip?
.
Are you able to agree to disagree? Or do you have to have the last word?
