Questions -
1. One place you want to visit There are many places I would like to travel, but I want to spend a longer amount of time in Japan and France in particular.
2. Five things you want to do before you die Have my writing published and be able to support myself through writing; learn to play the violin; um I assure you there are things I want to do, but at the moment I am at a standstill. 3. Do you dress up for Halloween erm. I've never actually celebrated halloween (or dressed up for it) 4. three things you can't stand in a person well I think you can learn to appreciate a person even if you don't necessarily like them. that being said, close minded people really bother me. also, people who think it's funny or okay to make racist or homophobic or misogynistic jokes, and people who are overly selfish or self-centered. 5. what do you want people to remember you for my writing. what I believed in and stood for - what I dedicated my life to. I hope that my life's work will have impacted the world. most people I have encountered want this, too. perhaps this wish will assuage the fear that we will be forgotten after we die. it is a tough concept to deal with, that after you live on this earth for so long, and breathe its air, and FEEL and EXPERIENCE so much, that everything you are will eventually dissipate and be forgotten. but this is part of life. 6. favorite band the white stripes and beirut.
7. prefer city or small town a city. 8. most awkward question I've ever been asked I am sure there is a most awkward question but I cannot recall one that tops the list. I personally dislike being asked about my weight, if I'm dating anyone. I am a highly awkward person though, so most things involving other people usually end up awkwardly. but the best one: "are you okay?" (screaming profanties internally. ugh I know it's polite but UGHjgHKHKDF. goddamn it when people ask this it is most usually to make themselves feel better) 9. ever kept a new year's resolution ha. no. 10. favorite food well I love cinnamon (even after my brother had me do the cinnamon challenge a few years ago - I SHIT YOU NOT) and cinnamon-y foods. and coffee (a beverage, but oh well) 11. what is your biggest ambition to become a writer! (/ a published one/ a successful one) 12. do you like where you live right now I do not like san diego at all. but I think my experience here would be significantly better if I lived on my own and was not in the community I am in now. and if I had transportation you can't go anywhere in southern california without a car. 13. what kind of movies do you like best dramatic emotion-wrenching ones with tons of opportunities for fabulous acting, character development (regression or progression), the unveiling of negative emotions, and a raw look at the human character raw emotionnnn ~_~ 14. favorite book Lust for Life by Irving Stone 15. favorite tv show Doctor Who 16. if you could be famous, would you If I had the opportunity to use my fame to help others (for example, benefit an important cause). I think the position of fame is best bestowed on someone who can lead (figuratively) and I am a bad leader. I'm just a flop with too much to say. however I define success as the ability to have creative freedom. I would much rather be able to do what I want in the literary realm. and being famous has myriad down sides. bleh 17. what's your idea of a perfect day I would wake up and feel rested for once. I would dine to a satisfying and healthful breakfast while reading (AND COFFEE). I would not have any head or body aches or other unmentioned thingies (yes, I used the word thingie). I would be able to write without regard for time or other worries. I would not be hindered by the threat of perfection. Anxiety would leave its hold on my throat. The remainder of the day could play out in a thousand ways, but I would drift off to sleep contented and weightless. I would dream fantastical things and be glad to awaken. I feel the need to mention that there is no "perfect" day for me. There are a multitude of constants in my everyday life that I wish could part ways with, but there is no one layout I demand for happiness. Real life is not like this. I suppose that is why it is "real." No one thing, be it a day, or a person, can complete you. Such a harmony is a silly fallacy. Only you can complete yourself. (lelele not cheesy at all) 18. favorite ghibli film spirited away and howl's moving castle (but I have not seen many) 19. If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be I have an implacable desire to visit vincent van gogh's grave. dunno why. maybe because I am obsessed with him. gosh, it is just so hard to figure out these things. 20. can you speak any other languages? if so, which ones? I can't speak any other languages, but I can read hebrew and understand a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle. I understand a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle spanish. 21. what career would you like to have as an adult a writer. professional idiot. teller of grandiose lies. bad poetry instigator 22. do you wear makeup most of the time when I leave the house, but in varying degrees. new questions ~ 1. what do you define as love? 2. why do you want to do what you want to do? 3. are you a perfectionist? 4. what does the internet/ tumblr mean to you? 5. what is your biggest insecurity? (come on, peer pressure, tell us we'll only eat your soul) 6. how do you feel about these questionnaires? 7. how do you feel about returning to school? 8. what keeps you going? 9. can you respect something if you do not truly understand it? 10. go read some classic literature. and then have a cookie.
