Tagged by: Wallacetheduck (WHY, WHY DID YOU TAG ME? NOW I HAVE TO ANSWER THINGS AND COME UP WITH THINGS AND TAG PEOPLE AND I AM JUST NOT PREPARED FOR THIS LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY)
1. What is your most irrational fear?
Butterflies and moths. I don't like the flitter-y flappy way they fly, or the way they occasionally travel in huge swarms, or the way butterflies feast upon the flesh of the dead, or the way they've made the world think they're harmless and pretty, or they way they get into houses and can't find their way back out again.
2. If you had a sandwich board you had to wear for the rest of your life what would it say?
Operating under the assumption that I cannot repaint or in any way modify what I put on it, there is a high chance that it would say a ridiculously obscure, deep-sounding fandom reference. For example: "Heroes think they can save the world when they themselves are lost." OR conversely: "The turtle moves."
3. What’s your least favourite sound? Why?
Ice being scraped off the side of a deep freezer. Have you ever scraped ice off the side of a deep freezer? It makes that awful grating styrofoam-y squeak that hits all the wrong auditory receptors and makes me cringe.
4. Weirdest physical trait?
The freckle-y spots I have in my eyes, my eyes which are the colour of rancid mustard.
5. What’s your favourite colour? (you cannot refer to it by name)
The colour of the night sky over a grassy field on a full-mooned Tuesday in July.
6. What middle names will you give your children (or cats)?
Well, since I have no intention of having offspring, I suppose this leaves the... middle names of hypothetical cats? Or possibly just the names of cats? I really don't see myself as the type to give my cats middle names, so they'd wind up with longish regal(ish) names that I would shorten for everyday use and only pull out the long names when frustrated with them. And these names would be: Bartholomew "Barry", Ferdinand "Fred", and Lady Catherine "Cat" (Because I am easily amused).
7. When was the last time you cut your finger nails?
Yesterday. I clipped them too short though and now it feels weird.
8. Where was your mother born?
Ontario, presumably in a hospital.
9. Who do you trust most in the world?
...My mother. I tell her everything.
10. Deep down, do you believe in magic?
Well, that all depends on what kind of magic we're talking about. If we're talking about the kind of magic used by Medea to restore Aeson's youth, then no. But if we're talking the kind of magic involving the supernatural, including premonitions and spirits, then I will concede that I believe it can exist. I have seen too many "coincidences" to entirely dismiss it.
1. What is something other people do that irritates you to no end?
2. Elephant or duck? Why?
3. If you could break one law without any unpleasant consequences, which would you break?
4. What is something you've always wanted to do but haven't?
5. What is your most prized possession?
6. If you had a one way ticket to any time period, past or future, where (or rather when) would you go?
7. Can you sleep with your closet door open?
8. What is something you're looking forward to?
9. What is the worst superpower you can think of and how would you cope with having it?
10. Would you live in the perfect house or apartment rent-free if you found out a brutal murder had taken place there and it was rumoured to be haunted?
