Bones and Blue Hair Dye!

Bones - Name one strength and one weakness

A strength would definitely be my creativity.  It helps me to look at things differently, which is helpful as an academic and a teacher because sometimes I have really cool ideas that blossom into bigger things.  Additionally, creativity (particularly writing fanfiction) keeps me from falling apart when I’m drowning in schoolwork.

A weakness is my irresponsibility with money.  I’m not in major financial trouble because of it, but I’m not particularly great at saving because I just want to buy all the things.

Blue Hair Dye - Name one thing you like about your appearance

Here’s one that would’ve surprised me a few years ago: my hair.  I spent most of my life hating the natural color (blonde) so I dyed it black/brown for about five years before deciding to return to my natural color.  I wasn’t a huge fan at first, but now that it’s had a couple of years to grow out, I really like it and am glad that I’m not hiding behind dark hair dye anymore.

just for the record... in case anyone was wondering.... today was the anniversary of when the world was finally put to rights, made perfect, made stable -- the anniversary of when my favorite manwaffle was brought into this dance we call life. eighteen years strong and i still can’t believe how blessed i am to know her and love her and hug her neck as often as possible. shoutout to kate, because i love her more than i used to think was possible and she’s my bosom fried forever.

paris, toronto, mumbai <3

Paris: Describe your favorite kiss.

i used my favorite artistic kiss last time so this time i’ll say my personal favorite kiss, which, despite all odds, has to be the one from the girlfriend of the boy who wanted me to marry him. you, of course, know the story, but it still bears repeating that he and i were talking about who knew her longest (i did) and who hugged her most often (i did) and when she went to leave he said that at least she kissed him, so obviously he won. at which she scoffed, looked at me, and leaned in and kissed me. they broke up a while later (because he’s horrible) and she still offers to make out with me every so often. i still politely decline.

Toronto: Describe your ideal partner.

this is always the hardest question? i don’t think about this very often, and when i do it’s with such vague noises it’s not for very long. i suppose... my ideal partner forever challenges me to become a better person while still accepting and very much loving me where i am. they should also not be a rude or disparaging person. beyond that, bring it on.

Mumbai: What is your favorite scent?

you know when you’re curled up with someone and they smell exactly like the quilt you always remembered sleeping with but never actually did, and also a lot of summer warmth and gentleness (if it had a scent)??? you know what i mean? that exact scent? that one. it’s my favorite.

one precious thing i love about kate

she has never been the same person twice and she has always been the exact same soul. she’s growing like an oak tree and she’s going to keep dancing in the storms.

is continuum a good show? i've been meaning to check it out, but i'm skeptical.

Yes, I loved it!!

It’s not as cheesy as some of Syfy’s other shows, (I guess since it was imported from a Canadian channel) so that had me a lot more into it. Literally every character has a great development arc over the series, even the supporting cast is really flushed out. One of my favorite things is how focused it is on platonic relationships. Great friendships get pushed aside too often to make room for romantic relationships, Continuum never does that.

The final season didn’t get a full episode order, so it’s a little bit rushed. But they did the best with what they were given, and it was still a good ending.

Totally worth checking it out in my opinion!

kate never fails to make me a better person just by existing

also Cigar Galaxy and Supernova (bc these questions are the bomb)

(Even MORE? I’m honored.) X)

Cigar Galaxy: How’s your flirting skills?

OKAY-so, the prospect of ACTIVELY flirting used to be foreign to me? Like-my mind for quite a number of years assumed that that sort of thing would be an instant shut-down/DO NOT COMPUTE-ERROR.

…But-I feel that that’s probably not the case anymore? I think after being told by SO many sources (aka friends/family/etc) that I was a natural at that sort of thing just in my ease of being a good conversationalist-the idea just seemed to stick? So yeah-I guess I am a pretty good flirt. 

I try to stay conscious of it just so I’m never too over the edge with it of course-but when it comes to someone I’m crushing a bit on-I tend to just let myself be completely. (Initially though-buildup of panic. THEN-after getting a conversation going-it becomes MUCH easier.)

Supernova: What’s one thing you want to do before you die? 

The one thing I want to do most RIGHT before I die is probably just see and hug all my loved ones (friends and family) one last time.

 Right before that though-if I knew I was just about to die very soon, I’d want to just sit and think about ALL I’ve done-and hopefully be content with all of it-good, bad, and in between too. (All while listening to something special-maybe Hallelujah by John Cale.)

Deneb: Have you ever been out of your home country?

Only twice so far! The first trip was to Mexico when I was only about 6 so the defining memory of that experience (at least that I remember having) was the fact that I sang a VERY off-key rendition of Silent Night in front of the whole populace of the Hotel we were at. …YEAH. *still cringing about it honestly*

And then MUCH more recently (and involving far more memories of a much more wonderful and NON-embarrassing nature) I spent the last two weeks of July this year in Italy! X)
