3, 4, 6, 7, 34, 35, 43

3: Do you smoke?nope, never have, and I doubt I ever will.

4: Do you drink?nope. I say it’s for medical reasons but actually I just don’t want to. also doubt I ever will.

6: Age you get mistaken forit’s not too bad now; anywhere from 17 to 25 these days. (I’m 23.) people sometimes give me those sick under-18 discounts without asking, fuck yeah

this got a bit long, so more under the cut

7: Have tattoos?nope. I have this thing where the idea of marks on my skin freaks me out (freckles and such can stay but they’re on thin fucking ice). I would freak out when I had to get stamps on my hands as a kid for admission to places and such. even the invisible ink ones that only showed up under UV light. I get bothered when I have pen marks on my hands nowadays, although it’s much more tolerable thankfully. the idea of wearing makeup also terrifies me for this reason (aside from the general societal stigma for dudes in makeup too, welp)

34: What I find attractive in women35: What I find attractive in mengonna combine these both bc there’s a lot of overlap - first of all, this is gonna sound lame, but at the risk of sounding cliché: a nice personality and generally being a decent person; my ex became hideous and repulsive to me literally the second I realized that he was an asshole.- physical strength, so they can carry me while I swoon or something lmao. maybe they could take me to the gym with them so that I could also become physically stronger bc I wouldn’t mind being more muscular but going to the gym is hard - an appreciation for science. not that they have to be a scientist or ‘’’intellectual’’’ or whatever, but I wouldn’t be interested in someone who wouldn’t be willing to listen to me talk about my research occasionally. (I would be interested in listening to whatever they like too, since I like listening to people talking about stuff they’re passionate about, esp if I like the people doing the talking!) I couldn’t date anyone with anti-science views either (eg anti-vax, climate change denial, etc).- being good at something. playing an instrument, solving rubik’s cubes, underwater basket-weaving? anything tbh. just the ability to stick to one thing and become v good at it bc that’s something I seem to be unable to do. - sharing my interests. I mean, not to the point that we’re basically the same person bc that’s kinda boring, but it’s nice to have some common ground. or similar interests with different sub-interests. eg maybe they also play music but different instruments than I do. - having their shit together. ofc I am a disaster and I wouldn’t want my partner to baby me or whatever bc that’s just weird, (and unfair to them, I really side-eye the ADHD articles that say to get a partner who does the organizing for you) but it would be nice to have someone who could provide me with encouragement and inspiration to get my shit more together and become a better person and all that shit.

43: Sexiest person that comes to my mind immediatelyuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk I don’t really think of people as “sexy” (I find the word weird and awkward for no apparent reason) but the most attractive person I encountered as of late (aka the one I’ve had on my mind for the past couple of days) was this cute dude I talked to at the networking thing I was at who ofc is a) straight b) in a long-term committed relationship; just my luck, as usual, lmao. anyway yeah I should stop thinking about him soonish but in the mean time I can sit around and feel sorry for myself for a bit

fuzzy boots!!!!

fuzzy boots: if you could live in any year/era, which would it be and why?

well, I, for one, enjoy such contemporary innovations as running water, electricity, and legal gay marriage, among other things, so to answer: some hypothetical future where we’ve got interstellar travel and a stable post-scarcity economy (à la Star Trek). also generally better human rights and shit. of course, that’s rather utopian, but I imagine there will be medical innovations regardless, so that would be p cool. based on my family history it’s almost guaranteed that I’ll get some kind of cancer down the line, welp

and if choosing an era in the future is cheating, then I’ll stay right in the here and now. let’s hope humanity doesn’t screw itself over too much.

0-33-36

0: Height 170 cm (about 5’7”). would prefer to be taller but what can you do. 33: What words make me feel the best about myselfIdk, words don’t really make me feel anything about myself? “Friendship” could be one, and maybe “science,” I guess? 36: Where I would like to liveA nice house in a forest on a mountain that has good skiing would be rad; in BC, for example. Ideally, there would also be a small lake I could canoe on and swim in. also it would have good internet and be relatively close to a populated area but far enough that I could avoid all the noise. the ultimate Dream™ would be also having a small forest community where all my friends live as well, and we hang out and play DnD together regularly.

What’s your favorite type(s) of: birb, weather; your favorite constellation, and favorite movie when you were a kid

birb: cockatoos. they’re v goofy and I find them hella Relatable. if I had a patronus, it would probably be a cockatoo.

weather: snowy weather! that, or the windy sort of weather you get in the fall when it’s cold enough that you can wear a coat that billows dramatically behind you, as well as a scarf that does the same.

favourite constellation: (I’m in the northern hemisphere so I’ll only choose from those. don’t think I’ve ever been to the Southern Hemisphere actually!) Cassiopeia; not really for mythological purposes, but because it’s the first one I was able to consistently locate in the sky. it’s a w shape which is p cool. also it shows up near where the milky way shows up in the sky.

fave childhood movie: hmmmm that’s a difficult one. finding nemo maybe? or for the later part of my childhood, probably surf’s up (the one with the surfing penguins. I went through a major penguin phase when I was a preteen. I saw march of the penguins and then I was obsessed for years.)

thank you for the ask, my friend!

hey dude, if you want to travel you don't have to go anywhere crazy like europe or asia or anything. You could walk in the nearest forest or explore the caves around a beach or visit some botanical gardens. its understandable that you don't have the money right now, but that wont always be the case! just until you can actually go to all the amazing places you want to see, try to have a little fun where you are. don't put your life on hold just because you don't have the money to be a little wild

hi anon; first of all, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate the thought; please excuse me while I continue to feel sorry for myself, though

I have been trying to do that sort of thing, but I find it hard to justify spending money on just exploring my area I guess? because lots of the more interesting attractions cost as much money as a week of groceries for me. I’ve done a lot of the free exploration stuff already. though I might take up geocaching again, that’s an idea, it costs nothing. unfortunately, none of my friends like geocaching, which sucks, because it’s a lot more fun with friends

but then again I just fucking bought myself a (heavily discounted, thank fuck) inkjet printer. I recently saved up enough money (partly by not eating out at fast food places/restaurants or whatever for a while bc I didn’t have time to hang out with people, go fucking figure) to get myself some new goddamn skis. I can ski regularly in the winter bc family that lives right by a ski hill gets free tickets often. I’m not completely broke, but p much anytime I want to get myself something nice, if I haven’t saved up for it beforehand, then I have to dip into my savings. I don’t want to spend my savings on travel bc I’m scared that I might need them. my stipend is the bare minimum bc my grades were too low for me to even consider applying for supplemental grants (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) so I’m basically living paycheck to paycheck while mooching off my family as much as I can so that I have stuff to actually add to my savings

I guess the other issue is that I don’t have a lot of time because of school, but I fucking signed up for this, I knew what I was getting into, so I’m just being whiny in that respect. I do love my research, and I actually have a short trip to another part of Canada happening soonish which is p exciting! it’s being funded from my advisor’s grant money, thank fuck. (that will be the first time I’ve been in a plane since before I started my undergrad orz)

also, for context, when I made that rant post, I had just seen a whole bunch of instagram posts from friends who had travelled to all sorts of interesting places. so I was kinda salty. shows why I don’t usually use instagram lol.

also, also, long story short, there’s health considerations which would prevent me from being able to travel for more than a month at a time. (or severely restrict my travel.) they may or may not get better, idk. because of these, I can’t do stuff like, say, go teach English in Japan, either (something I’ve lowkey wanted to try for years, and something a friend of mine is doing). any relatively long-distance moving I do will require that I first secure a bunch of medical specialists to handle my medical shit

but ANYWAY, mostly, I’m a jealous bastard and I can never seem to feel happy with whatever I have in life, and I like to feel sorry for myself, because fuck, all these friends of mine can do all the local travel exploration stuff you suggest and /also/ do fancy expensive exploration shit, and they have good health and neurotypical brains, and I’m sure they have their own issues but I’m kinda fucking bitter because life isn’t fair and some of us get saddled with more bullshit than others for literally no reason. and there are plenty of others who deal with a lot more bullshit than I do so why am I whining idk WELP
