Answer Question Thingy
So, I'm actually really bad about answering these/doing them, so I'm going to try to go digging for the ones I have yet to do, starting with this lovely one fromdeansingchester! Oh, and I won't be tagging anyone, but feel free to answer the questions so that I can learn more about y'all as well! :)
And here is the second one,
Rule 1: Always post the rules
Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and come up with 11 new ones
Rule 3: Tag 12 people and link them to the post
Rule 4: Actually tell them you tagged them - cuz no one’s telepathic
Question I was given:
1) What was/is your favorite subject in school? Why?
This is actually pretty funny, but for years I was convinced that I was an English nerd, but according to my college transcript, I accidentally got a minor in History, so I'm going to say that. Now, as for the why. I've always been fascinated with different cultures, beliefs, systems, etc., and how those change over time. Thankfully, that was cultivated by having an amazing family who always makes sure that we stop at at least one historical sight per vacation trip. This basically means that thanks to my numerous trips up to New York to visit family, I have been to almost every American Revolutionary point of interest and read every single sign in them, which makes me the know-it-all in class who corrects the teacher when they say something incorrect, lol. TL;DR, I'm a history nerd because visiting museums and historical/cultural sights are always my favorite things about my vacations.
2) How do you spend your free time when your not on tumblr?
Usually, if I'm not on Tumblr or the internet, I'm working or sleeping, to be honest. I also occasionally do stuff with the family, but since I don't have many friends who live within thirty minutes of my house, it pretty much stops there.
3) List some of your favorite books. It's actually a lot easier for me to mention authors instead of books, so here goes: Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Green, Eva Ibbotson, Scott Westerfeld, JK Rowling, Agatha Christie, Rick Riordan, Susanne Collins (especially Gregor the Overlander), Cassandra Clare, and Debbie Viguie, Of course, those are only the ones I remember, so there are probably more.
4) Have you ever had a “game changing” moment in your life? If so (and you feel comfortable) share it.
I've actually had quite a few of those moments, but the most recent for me was when I was forced to drop out of school for a year, due to medical reasons. It was really tough for me because having good grades, getting a degree, and ending up at a great job have always been important goals in my life and I felt like I had failed on all accounts. Thankfully, I have an amazing family and employers, so even though I lost all of my scholarships, I can still work towards my degree, just a bit slower than planned.
5) Is there anyone you feel like you couldn’t live without? Why is this person so special to you? Honestly, this one is really tough for me. I'm very bad at friendships and relationships in general because I have so much anxiety, so I just tend to do my best to not let people in too closely. So, right now, sadly, I think the answer is "no," but I hope to someday be able to be that close to someone.
6) Pretty sure I tagged mostly fandom blogs. What’s your favorite show, episode, and character from that show?
Hmm, another really tough one... I'm probably best described as a SuperWhoLock Trekkie, so I'll do all four.
Supernatural- I really enjoyed "Ghostfacers" and my favorite character is Castiel.
Doctor Who- Right now, my favorites are Doomsday and Shakespeare Code. My favorite character is definitely the TARDIS.
Sherlock- Favorite Episode: Ah! This was the hardest one! Uhm, The Empty Hearse, because it's newer? Character: I LOVE Sherlock, but I am really starting to love Anderson as well, which really scares me.
Star Trek- Episode: The Trouble with Tribbles. Character: Q or Data.
7) If you could live anywhere in the world where would you choose? Why?
I'm kind of a wandering soul, so probably nowhere for too long. Definitely a few big cities like New York, Chicago, New Orleans, London, Sydney, etc., but also intersperse it with quite suburbs or rural areas.
8) Do you have any special talents?
None that I can think of. If anyone has any ideas, please share them with me.
9) If you could choose to have any talent what would you choose?
Probably to be more creative artistically. I mean, I can't even draw a stick figure well, and I would love to be able to sew/knit/crochet.
10) Are you keeping a secret for someone right now? If so you think that person should continue to keep it secret or should they get it off their chest?
I actually don't think I am at the moment. The one secret I had, finally got shared with the world (not by me), so I'm good. :)
11) What was the hardest decision you ever had to make?
To finally come clean to my parents about my panic attacks and massive anxiety issues, as well as start the process of dealing with the root issues, one of which involves serious psychological and verbal abuse (not from family). It was tough and hurt a lot, but I'm finally on the road to recovery and that's a good thing.
