5, 11, 16, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 32 (sorry I know that's a lot but these are such good questions)
omg wow so many questions thanks :)
5: Talk about the best birthday you’ve had.
when i was 6 or so my grandparents had this huge party for me at their house and i don’t really remember a lot of it because i was so young but it was a really nice time. the whole family was there and my grandma made a dinosaur dig cake. Like, there was a dinosaur frosted onto the cake, but she somehow also managed to bake plastic dinosaurs into the cake so it was like we were digging up dinos as we ate the cake and it was the coolest thing ever
11: Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had.
Hm. I don’t usually remember my good dreams that well. a few years ago I was struggling with stage fright a lot and I had this dream that i was singing onstage with a group and i could feel my voice rising above everyone else’s and it was like i could see the soundwaves going out into the audience. i woke up feeling really happy
16: Talk about the best party you’ve ever been to.
oh man. i don’t really have a social life, so i don’t go to a lot of parties, and most of the ones i’ve been to have been pretty bad. last summer i went to this particularly lame graduation party in a park and my friend rob and i ended up hanging out together and making fun of everything. we tried to sneak into this other grad party we’d seen down the road but it was even worse so we ended up going back. it was such a lame party, but it’s a good memory.
18: Talk about something that happened in elementary school.
my parents homeschooled me all through elementary school because they’d heard a lot of horror stories about the school system where we lived then. so we did school in the basement, or sometimes in the kitchen. my dad was a better teacher, objectively, but my mom was a lot more fun- she used a lot of puppets and wrote little songs about science.
19: Talk about something that happened in middle school.
when i was in 8th grade i went to the national spelling bee. it was the weirdest week of my life. i got eliminated in the first round, but a lot of people back home still ask me about it and it’s the one “interesting fact about myself” i always use for those dumb first-day-of-class icebreaker things.
20: Talk about something that happened in high school.
During my junior year a bunch of our friends were trying to get my best guy friend and i to go to prom together. one day after school I was walking home and he very dramatically ran the length of the entire school to catch up with me so he could tell me that he’d never seen me that way and that we’d be better off as friends. (naturally, i had a crush on him for like a day after that.)
24: Talk about something someone told you that meant a lot.
a few weeks before he died my grandfather told me that he’d put off doing a lot of things that would’ve made him happy out of laziness, and that if something made me happy, i shouldn’t wait to do it. i think about that a lot.
25: Talk about an ex-best friend.
when i was in 6th and 7th grade my best friend was this girl named Taylor. She laughed at all my jokes, and I wasn’t always the nicest person back then, but I remember she always used to stand up for me. She was just a really decent person, and she was a lot braver than me. She wasn’t afraid to stand out in a crowd, and i really admired that. Actually,i might’ve had a crush on her, but i was too young to figure it out. (also i went a catholic school at the time so that probably would’ve been..not the best thing to pursue)
32: Talk about a place you remember from your childhood.
when i was little my favorite place in the world was the library. my town’s library was huge, and my mom would take me there every week and i would fill this huge backpack full of books to take home. the librarians loved me. i especially liked going there in the summer, coming in from the heat and opening the door and being hit by this wave of books and carpeting and air conditioning.
