Who do you feel most you around?
Honestly, my mother. She is the person I can always speak to about everything: a book I’m reading, a show I’m watching, how I’m feeling, what I’m thinking and she never judge me. She has always help me through the years and still does. I feel so much better every time we talk.
2. What calms you down?
Listening to music, always. Reading a book, or watch tv too, but mostly, music.
3. What’s something you’re excited for?
A few books that are coming up from some of my favorite authors, the book fair next month (I saved up money specifically for it, then the bookfair it’s packed and we can’t access the stands, so we end up going to the bookstore), seeing finish the dress my mom is sewing me, Wonder Woman 1984 in June…
4. What’s your ideal date?
Mmm, I’m not sure If I have a specific ideal date, but I suppose, if it’s dinner, going some place to eat pizzas, for example, and then a movie, or staying at home with some popcorn or junk food and watch a movie marathon, if it’s during the afternoon, going for coffee and then visit some bookstore, a music store…
5. What’s your comfort food?
Not sure I have any? But probably something with chocolate, pizza, pancakes, ice cream (chocolate mint preferably).
6. Do you still love stuffed animals?
I do, altough I don’t keep many anymore, I still have a stuffed dog who my dog bit a few times when he was a puppy and took out the eyes and nose, and I’m fond of it.
7. What do you want most in the world right now?
For my dog to feel better, he has not eaten today at lunch, and we can tell he is not feeling very well.
8. What’s something you do to de-stress?
Truth is, I’m not sure I’m ever stressed? But I guess I would do something like when I need to calm down, listen to music, read, watch tv….
9. Hugs or hand-holding?
Hugsssssss, I do sometimes reach for the hand, but hugs are magical.
10. What reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house… just things that remind you of the feeling of home)?
Orange blossoms, not only they are everywhere in my city in spring, we also have an orange tree in my backyard, and the smell of those flowers reminds of home…
I'd be a shame if someone asked you to answer aaaaaall those "talk about" questions...
Damnit Xabi! This took forEVER. (j/k I <3 u)
1: Talk about the first time you watched your favorite movie.
I first saw Fast and Furious when I was 16 and COMPLETELY (embarrassingly) obsessed with Vin Diesel. It was amazing, and it still makes me all ooey gooey 16 (!!!!!!!) years later.
2: Talk about your first kiss.
Brian was GORGEOUS. Black hair, blue eyes, the perfect hands. Fun, funny, and sweet (or so I thought...but that’s a story for another time!). And since he wouldn’t make the first move (and I was an impatient 14 year old) I kissed him. And it was awesome. He’s a total asshole now, so I really dodged a bullet when he tried to break up with me through my friend’s AIM (aol instant messenger for all you young’uns out there) so he didn’t have to do it himself.
3: Talk about the person you've had the most intense romantic feelings for.
I met Daniel when I was 15 (nearly 16), and he was pure perfection. Curly blonde hair, the brightest blue eyes I’d ever seen (Misha Collins’ are a pretty good example), and a smile that lit up my heart. We spent 4 days together while I was on a school trip to Wales, and it was the loveliest 4 days of my life. I fell in love with him instantly and so hard. The morning I left was the most heart-wrenching moment of my life. I had an awful plane ride home, but you know what woke me up at 8:30 am? Daniel. On the phone. FROM WALES. Just making sure I got home safely and to tell me how much he missed me. And just between you and I? If he showed up on my doorstep today, I don’t think I’d be able to turn him away.
4: Talk about the thing you regret most so far.
I don’t regret things. I can’t. Because if I regret anything, it means that my life wouldn’t have turned out the way it has, and for better or worse I made the best choices I could.
5: Talk about the best birthday you've had.
My 14th birthday was pretty epic! It was my last birthday in Hawaii before we moved to the mainland, so my mom took a bunch of my friends and I to Planet Hollywood in Waikiki, then we walked down to the big ass Local Motion store and got to watch a taping of MTVs Real World Hawaii (which I saw later that summer and promptly burst into tears).
6: Talk about the worst birthday you've had.
My stepdad died suddenly 2 weeks before my 17th birthday.
7: Talk about your biggest insecurity.
My weight/stomach. It’s gotten ruined by children (I don’t have the most elastic skin, so it just hangs there all gross).
8: Talk about the thing you are most proud of.
Getting my Bachelors Degree! Took me 10 years on and off, but I got it in 2015.
9: Talk about little things on your body that you like the most.
My eyes are so pretty!
10: Talk about the biggest fight you've ever had.
I don’t really want to. Brings up all kinds of bad things.
11: Talk about the best dream you've ever had.
I don’t remember the good ones :-(
12: Talk about the worst dream you've ever had.
I had a recurring nightmare when I was 4-6 about a huge gorilla completely destroying my preschool.
13: Talk about the first time you had sex/how you imagine your first time.
It was at my 17th birthday party (unsurprising to adult me...we can talk about death of a parent and the need to feel love and affection at a later date). It was boring and not fun. Nothing to write home about. He and I were always better as friends.
14: Talk about a vacation.
Growing up with a single (overachiever) mom and being an only child afforded me a privilege I cannot give to my own children. I was spoiled, and taken on so many god damn amazing vacations as a child. I’ve been to Maui 3 times, Moloka’i once, the Big Island once, and one summer we took quite a few weeks and went to Boston, New York City (I got to eat at Tavern on the Green when I was 9...what kind of shit is that?!?), then to LA and Disneyland, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and up to San Francisco.
15: Talk about the time you were most content in life.
Hahahahahahahaha. I’ve never been content. My life has been a series of abusive parents (dad and stepdad), death (stepdad then dad), and a poor relationship with my mother. Top of becoming a parent at 20, and I’m currently at my least content. How fucked up is that?!?
16: Talk about the best party you've ever been to.
I don’t like parties? There are always too many people, and way too much pressure to drink and get drunk.
17: Talk about someone you want to be friends with.
Weird question. Uh...I don’t have an answer for this.
18: Talk about something that happened in elementary school.
I attended 3 different elementary schools. My mom pulled me out of public school after day 4 of Kindergarten because my friend and I snuck off during a fire drill and the didn’t find us for hours. She put me in a private school which wound up not teaching me math at all, so she put me back in public school in the middle of 2nd grade, and it took me until 6th grade to finally catch up to grade level math.
19: Talk about something that happened in middle school.
I went to a Lutheran school, complete with Chapel every Wednesday morning. I am now an agnostic and know more about the bible than most self-professed Christians I’ve met.
20: Talk about something that happened in high school.
We moved from Hawaii to Virginia. Talk about culture shock and the inability to deal with the cold.
21: Talk about a time you had to turn someone down.
This dude took me on a date (I had known him in high school, he was a few years older) and his teeth were gross. Like he hadn’t brushed them in weeks. He tried to kiss me and I had to tell him no. I got the hell out of there real quick.
22: Talk about your worst fear.
As a parent, my worst fear is something happening to my children. It’s turned into a very pronounced anxiety so I can be incredibly overprotective.
23: Talk about a time someone turned you down.
I haven’t dated in 13 years, but I can’t recall anyone actually turning me down.
24: Talk about something someone told you that meant a lot.
In 11th grade (junior year), I was going through some shit. It was just a tough year for me, with some bullying and some really dumb things I did. A boy that I was really close to wrote me this poem that just meant the world. He really understood what I was going through, and made it clear he was there for me.
25: Talk about an ex-best friend.
Emilyn and I met when we were 3 and 4, and she was my sister. I honestly couldn’t remember a time when I didn’t know her. As we got older, she grew more and more distant. She moved from Hawaii the year before I did to go to a boarding school in Vermont, and called me up a year or so later to tell me she was gay. I don’t think I had the best reaction, being young and so very unsure of my own sexuality. We saw each other once more when she came to visit us in Hawaii when we were there for the summer when I was 15. She was really...not nice. Spent a lot of time with her other friends despite the fact that she was staying with us. It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve seen her, and it sucks.
26: Talk about things you do when you're sick.
Sleep, drink tea, and sleep more.
27: Talk about your favorite part of someone else's body.
Not specifics, but I love me some full lips.
28: Talk about your fetishes.
I’m so vanilla.
29: Talk about what turns you on.
Being touched, kissed on the neck/shoulder area
30: Talk about what turns you off.
Bad breath, general bad hygiene, bad attitude
31: Talk about what you think death is like.
Death is nothingness. I so much wish for it to be a happy place full of the people I love but I’ve felt the loss of so many people and they’re just gone.
32: Talk about a place you remember from your childhood.
We had a hammock strung up in a Portuguese lemon tree in the front yard, and it was the perfect reading place.
33: Talk about what you do when you are sad.
Complain. listen to sad music, isolate myself.
34: Talk about the worst physical pain you've endured.
Childbirth is pretty brutal, but with the epidural, it’s wonderful.
35: Talk about things you wish you could stop doing.
Being lazy, procrastinating
36: Talk about your guilty pleasures.
I refuse to feel guilty about anything that brings me happiness!!
37: Talk about someone you thought you were in love with.
I was engaged to a man before I met my husband. He was...not the right guy for me. He loved me a lot, but I was far too young for him.
38: Talk about songs that remind you of certain people.
There’s this one Daya song that reminds me of one of my ex’s but I can’t remember the name of the song.
39: Talk about things you wish you'd known earlier.
How not straight I am. I didn’t connect all the dots until my mid 20s, and by that point I was already married with children. There’s not much you can do at that point.
