5. Love Don't Die - The Fray.

8. Try - Nelly Furtado.
9. La meilleure médecine - Kim Bingham.
10. Fall Into Me - Sugarland.
11. Who Knew? - Pink. [Shut the-fuck up. I'd sue if I had copyrighted my life.]

Always post the rules. Answer the questions from the person who tagged you. Write 11 new ones. Tag people and link them to the post. Actually tell them you tagged them.
By: magneticdice
Questions asked:
1) What is something you like or dislike about where you live? Every thing, it's the D.M.V., bitch.
2) What is your middle name (if you have one)? Isobelle Danica-Lauren. Yes, I legally have three middle names, and a hyphen.
3) What was your first pet? We had a Siamese and a Cockapoo at home when I was born.
4) Describe your dream home library. Typical '30s-style interior with every thought-provoking book ever to feed my curiosity.
5) Do you play any instruments? No. Always wanted to try the drums.
6) Favorite song that gives you OTP feels? I have to pick just one? There's plenty and it's hard to answer this also due to the fact that basically all of them give me feels for my own life.
7) Do you still talk to your first love? Perfect next question. Short answer: No. Long answer: I still check her Hype Machine to know that she's fine, and she's always liking fresh songs that scream us, and the next day they're the new Gallavich song (I'm still side-eying the fandom about "Latch" and "Habits").
8) Theater or DVD? Depends on who I'm with.
9) How do you feel about Apple products? Swear by them with computers. Prefer Android phones.
10) Do you like surprises? No.
11) Best birthday memory? Coming out to my mum on my 18th and her shocked face when about half of my ~400-member class already knew.
My questions:
1) If you could write out Terry Milkovich from the start, would you, and would you explain your answer?
2) Where would you put yourself on the Kinsey Scale?
3) Can you bake?
4) Weirdest pick-up experience?
5) Salad and a smoothie or pizza and a soda?
6) Are you good in a crisis?
7) Have you ever been out of your country?
8) Do you think that Monica Gallagher needs to come back?
9) Are you safe or daring?
10) Do you think that Mickey Milkovich has actually developed a lot or was he just done suppressing himself in S4?
11) Would you take any former lover/friend back?

How would you react if you randomly saw me on the street? Yell "Yo!". 5. Top 5 turn ons?

I'm not tagging people because there's a GIFSet that I've been wanting to make and I finally have the time.
Book Tag.
I was tagged by the precious merrabeth.
In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag [ten] friends, including me, so I’ll see your list.
[I don't read enough.]
1. Anthony And Cleopatra - William Shakespeare: One of first things that I remember being read to me (I was ~2 and think that it was my sister, Chelle, whom was ~13 at the time whom read it to me - my mum bought us 'The Greats' on hardback from a door-to-door salesman so we'd grow up smart - and I remember thinking You'd like each other more if you were more like each other, and my sister thinking that she couldn't wait to have that, though that could've been any of my sisters. Yeah, we're that family, and I have no clue as to how I came out of the womb an old bitchy person).
2. The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett: About children left-to-their-own-devices and one whom learns to walk. I wonder why that got to me ...
3. And, You Give Me A Pain, Elaine - Stella Pevsner: An eighties preteen novel, though not, at all.
4. The Little Princess - Frances Hodgson Burnett: I felt like Sara Crewe and I wanted Captain Crewe to be my father.
5. A Midsummer Night's Dream - William Shakespeare: The Bard is funny.
6. Much Ado About Nothing - William Shakespeare: We do it to ourselves.
7. Night - Elie Wiesel: Needs no explanation.
8. When Nietzsche Wept - Irving D. Yalom: Such minds to explore ... and it impressed Ms. Vasquez, my 11th Grade English teacher whom I kind of had thing for, when I brought it in for private-reading.
9. A Home At The End Of The World - Michael Cunningham: It's just fucking beautiful.
10. The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand: She dared me to read it, 'because it's a painful mind-fuck,' and it is one.

Write 10 facts about yourself then pass it on to 10 of your amazing followers ❤️
1. I have Cerebral Palsy, but I drew a pair of denim jeans perfectly (in crayon) when I was 4, and discovered that I could think up, and draw, my own design ideas when I was 6 (again in crayon).
2. The first movie that I ever remember seeing is About Last Night … (obviously not the recent overly comedic remake and yeah, there was absolutely no censorship in that house, but I didn’t really have a childhood any way so it made sense not to be limited to only children’s entertainment).
3. I was raised by my biological maternal grandparents, I call them Mum and Dad, and I call my biological aunts my sisters (and my biological mother the bane of my existence/sister).
4. All three of my sisters attended Christian Baptist schools, and all were threatened with expulsion, and the youngest (other than myself) “agreed” to transfer to the public school system. I was the only one to go to only public schools, and it started because the Christian school didn’t want to deal with some one in a wheel chair, or an other “Wissinger (birth name) Girl”, but my mum now regrets not putting all of us through public schools, having realized that she raised a pack of rebels (and Chelle and I still got in plenty of trouble in public school).
5. I changed my name at 18 from Kayleigh to Kailey because I was named after the worst song ever (and the shortenings for Kailey - Kaile and Kai - are much more androgynous), and from Wissinger to Kefi at 19 because, at the time, I hated being German (I’m proud of it now that they’ve changed their public image) and I just don’t like how it sounds, and I hadn’t found the right surname for myself by the time I went in for the first change.
6. My parents were Republicans before I (an outspoken disabled queer) came along.
7. I played Mary in my Sunday school’s Christmas pageant, and was the star and scholar of every church that I was a member of growing up, but I’m now an atheist and have been for all of my adult life.
8. I cussed out my grandfather’s (strictly maternally biological great-grandfather) grave because, while he had been one of my favourite people when he was alive, I found out that he was a Freemason (read: in the K.K.K.) after he died and had refused to let my brother (ex-brother-in-law whom is black) come to a family get-together at his house.
9. I have an ex-brother-in-law (mentioned above) whom is still more of a sibling to me than my blood-related sisters.
10. I was also tagged by merrabeth, hugakaiju, and clever-grl (and artsyafrodite and withmywordsispeaktruth while typing this) for only five facts.

Write 10 facts about yourself then pass this onto ten of your favorite followers :)
1. I have a variant of Cerebral Palsy that doesn't effect my intellect.
2. I got my first tattoo at sixteen and I had four by the time I graduated high school.
3. The Vice Principal wanted me to drop out, so I stayed to piss her off, and Class-Year Principal was so proud of me because he hated that bitch like most other people whom knew her.
4. I ran over the thoroughly hated Head Principal's foot when I accepted my diploma and got away with it because of the wheel chair.
5. I'm thinking about this shit because my Ten-Year Reunion is coming up, and some old friends really want me to go, but I don't see the point as I went to high school barely half of the time (due to two spine surgeries and bad case of Mono).
6. I am a transsexual gay male and a lesbian in one body (heterosexuality just doesn't do it for me).
7. I am so thin and so big-breasted that only one company in the world makes my bra size and they're in Poland (and binding's impossible).
8. I plan on having my own side-lingerie (off of an entire fashion empire) company one day.
9. I knew that I was meant to be a fashion designer by the time that I was 6 and I swear that I met my soul mate when I was 8 (otherwise I wouldn't believe in them at all).
10. I either tell you nothing about me or I tell you every thing.

Rule #1: Always post the rules.
Rule #2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked, then write 11 new ones.
Rule #3: Tag 11 people then link them in the post.
Rule #4: Tell them you tagged them
(1) What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
I don't walk. It's a goal.
(2) Has your greatest fear ever come true?
Yes.
(3) What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special?
Busting up the back of my right hand when I was ten because it wasn't also my head that I cracked open and, in hindsight, that's when I knew for sure that I loved, and was loved by, a crazy person whom would always have me on the edge while also always having me feel safe and protected above any thing else.
(4) At what time in your life have you felt the most passionate and alive?
Um, I'm always gaining momentum, so right now.
(5) What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
Accept that being gay is a thing, and that I am it, sooner.
(6) What is more difficult for you, looking into someones eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someones eyes when they are telling you how they feel?
The latter.
(7) Does love = sex?
No. Nor does the reverse.
(8) Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?
I've had the first, so I'm going to go with it because I survived my youth, and I know that I wouldn't have with out it all.
(9) What advice would you give the ‘5 year old you’?
In three years, you're going to meet some one whom will become invaluable to you, fuckin' act like it when they're here.
(10) Are you a goal setter or a ‘whatever will be, will be’ person?
Goal-setter and my goals are always adaptable.

No.
