I don't know what this is called, but it looks fun

Truths Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 92 Truths about you. At the end, choose 10-25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
 Thanks! LOLOLOL 

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS. I wasn't even tagged by anyone, I just did it cause it looked fun. I have like zero friends on tumblr anyway.




WHAT WAS YOUR: 

Last Beverage: Either coke or soju. Not exactly sure the order that I drank them. 
Last phone call: Hmm, can't remember. I don't usually phone people too often. Had a lot of Skype calls yesterday though. 
Last text: From my bank company saying it bought something. People don't text in Korea, so the only texts I get are from my bank telling me when I use my bank card. 
Last song you listened to: Jolin Tsai's We're All the Same But Different. I've been in love with Chinese pop for the last month. 
Last time you cried: I don't really cry. Last time was probably thinking of my grandpa.

HAVE YOU EVER: 

Dated someone twice: LOL I haven't dated enough people for this to happen Been cheated on: Not to my knowledge. 
Kissed someone and regretted it: Sorta. Kinda depends on where you count the kisses as ending. 
Lost someone special: Yep. 
Been depressed: Semi-depressed, but I got out of it. Been drunk and threw up: AHAHAHAAHAHAHA YES 
List 3 favourite colors: Green, Bright Red, Seaside Aqua Turqouise

LAST YEAR, HAVE YOU: 

Made a new friend: Yep Fallen out of love: Do K-pop stars count? 
Laughed until you cried: Definitely 
Met someone who changed you: I believe everyone changes me a little at least 
Found out who your true friends are: Tough question. I usually have a lot of friends. True friends seems kinda limiting. 
Found out someone was talking about you: LOL Everyone talks about me. I'm awesome.

GENERAL:

How many people on your FB friends list do you know in real life?: Almost every one. If not every one. Think I've accidentally added a couple people though.

FIRSTS:

First surgery: I don't think cytoscopies count, but that was worse 
First piercing: Nope. I'm getting a nose ring next week though. First best friend: Don't remember. Probably my twin though. First sport you joined: Also don't remember. Unless ballet counts. 
First vacation: Seeing as I just left North America, it was probably to my grandparent's house

RIGHT NOW: 

Eating: RAMEN Drinking: Nothing. There's a soju bottle next to me though. I’m about to: Study Korean/Chinese or practice my violin. 
Waiting for: A couple Christmas presents. The love of life. Meeting K-pop stars. Lots of stuff.

YOUR FUTURE: 

Want kids: For sure. The seed is strong. Get married: When I'm like 40. Or once I've finished exploring. Career: I’m a teacher.

WHICH IS BETTER: 

Lips or eyes: Eyes. God I love eyes. Hugs or Kisses: No idea. They're about equal. Hugs are just much more multipurpose. It's kinda weird to start kissing your grandparents. 
Shorter or Taller: Shorter. Older or younger: Younger. 
Romantic or Spontaneous: Spontaneous. I'm not sure I handle romantic shenanigans that well. Nice stomach or nice arms: WTF. I didn't even know this was a thing. Sensitive or Loud: Quieter than me. LOLOLOL Hook-up or relationship: I prefer a relationship. But I'm learning new things all the time. 
Trouble maker or hesitant: Not really opposites to be honest. I want someone who wants to do stuff and doesn't make me decide. Cause I'm bad at that.

HAVE YOU EVER:  Kissed a stranger: Define stranger. 
Drank hard liquor: AHAHAHHAHAHA ONLY 
Lost glasses/contacts: Nope.  Sex on first date: LOLOLOLOL Define sex. 
Broke someone’s heart: Probably 
Arrested: Not yet. 
Turned someone down:  Umm, yes. 
Cried when someone died: Yep. Fallen for a friend: More than once.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN:


Yourself: Of course. I'm awesome. Though honestly, I believe in myself much more so recently. Miracles: Not really. Love at first sight: Logic says no. My heart on the bus says yes. Heaven: Nope. Santa Claus: Nope. Though learning the Easter Bunny wasn't real crushed me. 
Kiss on the first date: Yep. 
Angels: Nope.

I just felt like Kurt wasn't accepting/understanding why not having his gender marker being changed was upsetting for Blaine, and I felt like Kurt was making light of Blaine's distress. I know Kurt can't automatically understand everything Blaine's going through, and that he was trying to make the best of a bad situation, but that's still how I felt about it.

Okay, that wasn’t necessarily how I intended it to come across (I mean - no, Kurt isn’t perfect, but the point is that he’s trying his best), but fair enough if that was your interpretation.

HI. Just finished BW. Lost my breath at the end there. Congratulations to you for such an amazing story. As for future oneshots/ficlets, I have two things in mind that your world left me wondering/wanting more. 1) can there be a moment at a guy's night (pre or post-op), where the guys are talking something about their girlfriends that frustrates them or something to the tune of "I don't get why girls think..." and Blaine speaks up to offer insight? He was raised as a girl for 14 years, so [cont]

[cont2] he knows a girls’ mentality. Your fic never went into this aspect, and I think it would be a valuable experience for the other boys to have, to be taught something like this from Blaine. 2) I’m really concerned for Blaine’s cousins. I’d really like to know how they turn out in the future with regard to how their parents might warp their opinions of Blaine; whether one or both stay connected with Blaine. I’m really interested in where that relationship will go, and would love to find out.

just remembered one more thing about BW that I’d love to see explored. I actually thought you would go into this in the fic, since one bit seemed to hint at it, so maybe it is in your mind already: when Blaine explained things to them, Burt reacted to the info as if he were thinking of what he could do as govenor of Ohio. I was thinking Burt would change the law about changing one’s gender marker on their birth certificate. Kurt’s conclusion on the issue didn’t sit well with me.

Thank you. :) 

1) I have to admit that I don’t know how much insight Blaine would actually be able to offer. He may have been raised as a girl, but he never really understood or fit in with the girls - but I guess simply by virtue of having tried for so many years to be a girl, he would have insight beyond most cis men.

2) That is definitely something I’ve been thinking about as well.

As for Burt - he’s a congressman, so he doesn’t have *that* much power. And I’d be a bit wary of going into that because a) I don’t have a clue about politics, much less US politics, and b) I like to stick as close to the real world as possible (seriously I researched which middle school and high school Blaine would have gone to in Columbus), and changing the law in this verse, while it stayed the same in the real world, would bother me. But if something along those lines ever happens in our world, I could definitely try and use it for fic-purposes.What didn’t sit well with you exactly?

Thank you for your suggestions and kind words. :)

chestnutcatcher replied to your post: almost died of accidental choking on a stir-rod noodle today.

how did you not notice those were pasta? Also, they’re using those all over campus now, and have been for a while

Well I just figured there was no way it could actually be pasta.That's just kinda...weird. And yeah, I don't usually buy coffee on campus anywhere other than Tim Horton's and Ike's.
