You know, when you’re right, you’re right. And you’re right. I’d let it slide in a math situation but beyond that, run.

I was tagged to do a thing by my dear friend Tara aka colonel-catastrophe SO LET'S DO THE THING.

Rules:

Always post the rules

Answer questions from the person who tagged you

& write 11 new ones

Actually tell them you tagged them

1) What are you most looking forward to this summer? Getting the money together to start living the way I want to live my life. I'm sort of in this awkward in between phase right now and that needs to end. Soon.

2) What is the one thing that you would absolutely have with you on a deserted island? I could be cheeky and say an entire survival kit with working radio, but I mean...that's boring. So let's go with plan B, which would be a notebook w/ pen. If I'm gonna be alone on a deserted island and probably die there, I at least want to record my thoughts.

3) What ice cream flavor would you be and why? Rocky road....cause I'm chunky and chocolate and delicious. Only one of the above is true. (hint: it's the chocolate part)

4) What book should every person be forced to read in their life? OH FUCK UM. There's so many. Because my brain says something like Gatsby or Will Grayson, Will Grayson...but honestly, I'm gonna go with The Book Thief by Marcus Zuzak. Because empathy in humanity, even in its darkest state, is so vitally important. And so is hope.

And also I completely botched teaching a lesson on it once and I want the world to redeem me.

5) What’s the best tumblr post you’ve ever seen/read? You can just describe it if you don’t have the actual link.

Literally everything involving Sherlolly. NO SHAME.

6) What did you want to be when you were in kindergarten/grade school? Hilariously, professional chef. I say hilariously because I almost burned my house down on Sunday by cooking bacon on a pan without edges. >_<

7) Do you collect anything? If so, what? Currently, just old video games. Working on a Dreamcast collection and just acquiring/reacquiring games from my childhood that I only rented and never owned. I want to own every Mega Man game and pro wrestling game ever made. Formerly, professional wrestling action figures, Pokemon cards, a short Magic: The Gathering collecting stint, Star Wars action figures.

8) A new planet is discovered and you get to name it. What name do you pick? There's a lot of options. I kinda just want to fuck with the Roman naming tradition and name one after a Greek version of a god instead? So Artemis. Also, it's an Artemis Fowl reference and I love those books. TWOFER.

9) What's the one song that you can't help but dance to every single time, no matter how many times you hear it? I'm not much of a dancer, more of a "sing along at the top of my lungs" kinda guy, but...I'd go with "There's A Reason These Tables Are Numbered, Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet" by Panic! At The Disco. Groovy as fuuuuuuck.

10) What superpowers would you have if there were no limitations? Honestly? Superpowers are messy and prone to hazard so I wouldn't want to have one all the time. SO, I'd just take Rogue's power from the X-Men and steal other metahumans' powers. Except I'd have control over it, obviously, and could choose when to sap powers.

11) You meet a genie and get three wishes. What are they? I am granted a video editing position within WWE, I have enough money to take care of my bills for the rest of my life (not to excess, just the money for the bill just gets dropped into a bank account as needed and I work for extra spending/saving/etc.), and whatever mysterious ailment my mom has goes away.

NOW THEN. I write 11 questions and tag some other poor saps.

1) You can only be in one fandom for the rest of your natural life. Which one is it and why? 2) Your favorite butt? 3) What movie, despite being completely objectively awful, can you watch again and again and be consistently entertained? 4) What's your go-to karaoke song? 5) What person did you idolize the most when you were a kid? 6) Do you still idolize that person? 7) Your life and everything you do in it will only be remembered by one person. Who? 8) Who's your favorite Pokemon? 9) You have to make a $100 bet on a fight between your favorite celebrity and your favorite fictional character. Who do you think wins? (and yes, the celebrity could be the person PLAYING the fictional character, i.e. Benedict Cumberbatch vs Sherlock Holmes. Also what KIND of fight it is, is up to your imagination) 10) If you could make any video game, what would it be about and what would you do in it? 11) What the best thing that's happened in your life so far? Explain why it meant so much to you. AND I AM TAGGING  the-harbinger-of-sass, xyma, anothergirlwithauke (once she returns from her Italy hiatus), evieisonanadventure, kingdomofthesketch, nerdycunt, graceevelyn, and WHO EVER ELSE WANTS TO DO THE THING. Seriously, just do it if you want.
