OH AMANDA, DARLING, YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN YOU ASK ME THINGS.
Two.
Oh gosh, hmm. These are a lot different then the questions I got sent earlier~! Well, I hope to be somewhere I know I’ll be happy with. Maybe working as a Profiler or working my way up to it or being a writer and having my books be popular enough to be very well liked. I don’t know. The world is a very open place and my life, at this point, can really go anywhere.~

Oh well, the first love bit would be a little hard to really explain as I haven’t really had a proper chance to fall in love. The only thing close to it was with my friend Alyssa, but I never had the balls to tell her. One of my friends did, and instead of being weirded out or anything, she just smiled and told me she didn’t mind, but asked why the hell out of everyone, I chose her. I mean, aside from her, my feelings for her having turned into something deeper and more protective and familial, there really hasn’t been anyone.
The first time I was kissed had to be when I was just around the age of… fifteen, I think? Some neighborhood boy I had known, though not attractive in the face, or much in the personality either, I was young enough to be attracted to hsi abs, and boom, my artist came out, and I had something of a passing fancy with him. It was dark, we kissed along my father’s trailer, and I felt his nether regions more or less pressed up against my thigh. It wasn’t passionate and it wasn’t sweet, but more a mash up of lips and maybe a little tongue that, afterward, had me being proven, one, I didn’t like him, and two, I’d find someone who’d actually make me ‘feel’ during a kiss, not slobber over one another like grade schoolers.

I think education is extremely important actually. It helps us get going in the world and helps open up quite a bit of roads for ourselves. To a certain extent though, I find some subjects a little moronic. I know most people would debate with me on this, but higher maths I don’t think are really much needed unless going into a maths heavy field. If I want to become a writer, what would knowing logs and how to graph a parabola help me figure out if a minor character should pass away in chapter three or be elevated into side-character status, or, in some cases, whether or not I should make my character’s eyes blue or green? I never quite understood the point of some of the subjects America has in school to teach.
Back in my home country, if you’re in school, you go each year as per normal and they teach you what academics are needed for that year. You don’t decide if you want biology or chemistry or ecology, they just give you the science for that year and boom, you’re done.
If you start showing proficiency in a certain subject, great!
You can play an instrument well? The school will help you find a music school to go to after class.
You can draw well? Wonderful! BECOME AN ARTIST. The school will help you go to art lessons and later help you into the university with art.
Want to become and engineer or a chemist? Spectacular, you can take small, easier universities classes to prep.
Here, you have a chance of choosing what you want, when you want it, but most of what you can choose from are dead-end subjects that, from my current expiereince, will do little to help you in the ‘outside’ world and your ‘career’ world.
….That ranted a bit, sorry~!
I think education is great, but only in some instances, and especially, if the people actually set themselves up to learn instead of pussy-footing around half the time.
