I was tagged by @stuckinthisocean to answer a questions about myself thingy
Basically what happens is I answer the 11 questions she asked, and then I ask 11 new ones for the people I tag, ok ready set go
Her 11 questions:
1) What is your favourite smell? I like the smell of rain, or lilacs, or an old house with the windows open
2) What language do you wish you could speak fluently? I wish I spoke French better than I do. I’m semi-fluent, but I dont really get enough day to day interactions to become for real fluent. Working on it 3) Who do you look up to the most? Lol I have bpd, this changes from day to day 4) Describe a perfect day Slightly windy, not too warm. T shirt weather, but with cloud cover. I wake up on my own, my friends are with me from a night of partying before. We make breakfast together. We go on a walk, we talk, we laugh. We draw together, we take pictures of each other, we put flowers in each others’ shoes. After we’re all tired out and go home to nurse our respective maladies from the night of partying, I make myself a fantastic dinner, using a lot of butter, while listening to the radio. I watch a movie while eating dinner, and play a narrative video game after the movie. Then I get a message from an old friend, and they wanna skype before bed. We chat, I fall asleep with skype on. 5) What countries have you been to? Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto), America (Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, California, Denver, New York) England, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands
6) Do you like your name? Why/why not? I do like my name! I have several names (Greta, Birdy, and most recently Wayne) but I do still like my birth name Greta. I picked it myself actually. When my mom was about 7 months pregnant with me, she had a dream where this kid (with big curly hair) came and tugged on her duvet and said, hands on her hips, “My name is Greta” and my mom woke up in a cold sweat and here I am. 7) If you could change one thing in the world, what would that be? Whoa thats a little too much responsibility for me. Umm. Either that the bees are healthier, or that everyone had universal health care. 8) Which song never fails to cheer you up? Moonlight Desires by Gowan or Africa by Toto 9) What is your favourite quote? I’m gonna say that depends on for what, and when you’re asking. 10) What are you looking for in an ideal romantic partner? Oh gosh. I’m actually having a really hard time with that right now. About a year ago some pretty horrible trauma shit happened and on top of all the other things that had happened I just sort of snapped. Since then I’ve had some pretty deeply rooted trust issues. I’m having trouble seeing the point of dating someone, if I can just sleep with people, and get my emotional needs met and given, by and to, my friends. So I guess what I’m looking for is someone who I feel comfortable enough with to trust them not to hurt me? That’d be the primary thing. And I’d really love someone who I find continually interesting. Someone who makes me feel special. Someone I want to hold when they get upset as opposed to wanting to tell them to fuckin’ deal with it. Someone who makes me feel adventurous and alive, but not like I’m in danger. Here’s the problem, is I don’t think this person exists.
My shortened answer to that, on a less serious note, is that my type is Jake Peralta from Brooklyn Nine-Nine 11) Who is your favourite author? Don’t have one, but my favourite books are Jitterbug Perfume, The Song of Achilles, Looking for Alaska, and Ella Enchanted
Ok here’s my questions
1. Have you ever been in love? 2. What sort of ways did you pass the time as a kid 3. Do the idea of angels bring you comfort or make you uncomfortable? 4. Who in your life makes you really really happy? 5. What’s your favourite kind of weather? 6. If you had to pick one song to reflect your mood right now, what would it be? 7. If you were a mystical creature, what would you be? 8. Are you one of those people that has colours or personalities for different numbers or letters? 9. Whats the biggest secret you’re willing to admit on this thing? 10. What’s something that makes you feel special in the universe? 11. If you could suddenly be brilliant at one thing, what would it be?
