androidhal replied to your post: My dash keeps trying to tell me I need to play Off...

you read dangan ronpa! it’s a game, yeah, but it’s not in English so someone transcripted the game uwu

Hmm. I was not aware of this. I shall take it into account, though I think I'll still be leaving them (Storm bb this post is also a reply for you) for after finals next week.

Kratos, Genis, Colette, Luke, Rita, Raven.

Aha, awesome!

Kratos: If you could, would you want to live for thousands of years?

I don't think so. I'll admit I'm a little intrigued by the possibility, because it would be cool to see the world develop and all that, but I think there are too many cons to it. You'd have to outlive all your loved ones, which would suck, and you'd have to keep moving around and leaving people to avoid arousing suspicion. But maybe it would be worth it... I really don't know. I do know that sometimes I don't even want the years already allotted to me, and thousands would be an awfully long time to spend hating things. So I'm leaning towards no, but still ambivalent.

Genis: Have you ever been betrayed by a close friend?

Not sure if this question is a ToS spoiler or if it already happened and I don't remember what it was... awks. Anyway, sort of? I don't know if I'd consider that person a close friend, even at the time, and I don't even really remember the substance of the dispute, so obviously it was nothing too severe.

Colette: If you found a dog without a name, what name would you give him?

Honestly I wouldn't think to name it anything unless someone asked me to, at which point I'd sit around going "I dunno" for a while and then probably name it after a fictional character.

Luke: How much do you think you've changed throughout your life?

AHAHA, lots. Lots and not at all at the same time, y'know? There are some things about me that have been the same since I was a toddler and some other things that have made a total heel-face turn. Broadly speaking, I think I've changed a lot externally (exhibit A: stereotypical girl child currently wearing a binder, men's shirt and suspenders) and stayed roughly the same inside, aside from becoming a) more educated and b) mentally ill. Whoops.That sentence had so many tangents my English major soul is crying but I can't be bothered to reorganize it; forgive me.

Rita: What scientific field interests you the most?

YES I LIKE THIS QUESTION~ I find theoretical physics incredibly fascinating, but I'm no good with numbers, so I stopped taking physics after grade 11. I also really love biology, especially genetics and evolutionary biology. And biochemistry. I just really like science okay SCIENCE RULES *cries in a corner about shit mathematical ability*

Raven: Who do you miss the most?

Oh that is NOT FAIR! I miss you all equally, my dear platonic soulbros! I'm sad we didn't get together over Thanksgiving... But we'll have several Christmastime gatherings, I'm sure~

10 random facts tag that I was tagged to do ages ago but tumblr never told me, grumbles grumbles

1. I can't dance. I mean I can, I have the physical capabilities, but I dance like Elaine from Seinfeld. 

2. I'm anemic and it gives me migraines when my iron's low or I'm stressed or something.

3. I like cats but I'm allergic to them.

4. Television is my life. I have so many shows to keep up with it's crazy. (Doctor Who, Criminal Minds, Sherlock, The Walking Dead, Mad Men, Dexter, Supernatural, True Blood... and I always feel like I'm forgetting some.)

5. I'm a makeup geek. I have way too much of it and I just keep buying and I think it's becoming a problem...

6. The last book I read was The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman.

7. I have a dog named Sandy and I love her so much. 

8. This summer I worked in an ice cream store. Also this summer, I had my first banana split. Does this count as two facts? I don't care.

9. I am very forgetful. 

10. I enjoy making lists. It soothes me. >.>

10, 21, 22, 34, 35, 91

10: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Right now it's when Chrome decides my keyboard is French and I can't seem to convince it otherwise... CHROME WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO MEÉÉÉ

21: What's your least favourite movie?

Twilight? I dunno. I wanted to say Love and Other Disasters because it's a recent thing I saw and didn't like (just because of Jacks, really; the rest of it was cute), but, y'know, it's still a better love story than Twilight. :POH. OH NO, HOLD UP. THE ROOM. THE ROOM. Final answer.

22: Where would you bury hidden treasure if you had some?

Honestly I wouldn't bury it at all; I'd spend or save the money and display any schmancy antiques in my home or a museum of some sort. But I suppose if I have to bury it... hm. Welp, if I've got treasure to hide, presumably I've made good use of a large part of it and this is like leftover savings or something. So I'd bury it on my private uncharted island! No one will ever know.

34: Favourite kind of sandwich?

The kind where I'm the filling and Alex Kingston and Catherine Tate are the bread. I mean what.

35: Best thing to eat for breakfast?

Depends on my mood. If it's a big breakfast, I could go for a scrambled egg, sausage, and hashbrowns, but I'd never make that for myself at home and rarely do I finish a whole plate of that sort of thing... Cereal or a waffle is just as good. Or a Tim Horton's breakfast sandwich.

91: Best room for a fireplace?Living room. Or maybe a cozy library. :3

[moirainessuspenders]

Used a random word generator, and I got... Archfiend.

._______. Cool. Archfiend -> Yu-Gi-Oh -> I still have a binder of Yu-Gi-Oh cards from when I was little.

Nostalgia okay NOSTALGIA.

Lilac, green, blue and magenta.

Answering a meme from days ago, whee~

Lilac: What is your dream vacation?

Bah, it's tough to pick! I want to travel to a lot of different places. Japan and Holland are probably at the top of my list; either of those with a few close friends would be an amazing vacation. (I'd say England as well but I think I'd like to go there to study more than on vacation.)

Green: Share a family story.

When I was about seven, I think, my aunt moved to Texas to live with her long-distance boyfriend. I was used to seeing her all the time, so naturally I missed her like crazy. I forget how this came about, but she would write these short stories for me about a character called Chiquito the Littlest Jackalope (which is a jack rabbit crossed with an antelope, essentially a rabbit with antlers) and her boyfriend would illustrate them. I was then responsible for continuing the story after each instalment. If I remember correctly, Chiquito was travelling from Texas to Canada for some reason. The stories stopped after a while, but it was a really sweet way of keeping in touch for the time that it lasted.

Blue: Are you still friends with the people you met in elementary school?

...Asks one of my best friends since grade 6. You just want to hear me talk about the Pack, don't you? Very well. I have these five friends from elementary school who are basically my sisters. We all went to different high schools, and now those of us who are in university all go to different universities, but we're still very very close. I'm excited to see them all again now that I'm home for the summer. <3

Magenta: What is something you barely tell anyone?

Trying to come up with something I barely tell anyone that I'm comfortable telling the whole internet... Well, those who don't know me from childhood don't know that I used to be super Catholic, and I barely tell anyone that because it's embarrassing.
