Questions about random places A themed survey by Guia from scyphozoan

WHERE YOU LIVE: 1) What are the best and worst things about your neighborhood? >> The best thing is that there are multiple stores within walking distance, and the bus stops are plentiful. There are also at least 2 parks within walking distance, and a lot of people have gardens and sometimes fun lawn/porch decor. The worst thing is that it's an urban neighbourhood and therefore subject to urban noise levels.

2) If someone gave you an extra $5,000 for your house and only your house, how would you spend it? >> This confuses me for several reasons. I don't own this house, "extra" in addition to what, where am I going to live...

3) If someone outside of your town or city visits you for the first time, where would you take them out to? >> I think that would depend on what they're interested in, what they want to see and do. I would be a poor host if I just subjected them to stuff I like.

4) If you had to order a quick takeaway for dinner, where would you go to? >> Uhh... I don't know, really. I think that'd depend on how much money I have and what I was in the mood for. Takeaway isn't at all a frequent thing for me, I don't have a ready answer.

5) What’s a random fact about where you live? >> I don't know any random facts, I don't think. I must admit to not being terribly interested in this city.

THE LAST HOUSE YOU VISITED THAT WAS NOT YOUR OWN: 6) Whose house was it? >> Sparrow's parents' house.

7) Why did you visit and how long did you stay? >> It was Easter. About 4 hours.

8) What do you think about this person’s house? >> I have spent way more time inside it than I would ever want to. I don't have any real opinion about it as a location, I just am quite weary of it being a fixture in my life.

9) If you can take or copy something from their house, what would it be? >> I don't want a single thing from that house.

10) What about their house would make it difficult for you to live there if you had to? >> I did live there, and what really made it difficult was the fact that it wasn't a space I had any control in, and I had to live with people I don't even like. Also, the bedroom I occupied was in the basement and I'm not really the basement-dwelling type, I need sunlight in my room and shit.

THE LAST RESTAURANT YOU ATE AT: 11) What is the name of the restaurant, and what kind of cuisine do they serve? >> Uhhhh... was it King Pot? I think King Pot was the last restaurant I was at. They serve hot pot and Korean BBQ.

12) How did you first find out about this restaurant, and what triggered you to try it? >> I don't remember how I found out about it, and I tried it because I love Korean food and fortunately Sparrow's family agreed to take us there for Sparrow's birthday.

13) What did you order and how would you rate it? >> I can't possibly remember all the specific things I ordered, such is the nature of hot pot. I rate it pretty highly, it was delicious.

14) What do you like best about this place? What about it could be improved? >> I don't have any notes. It was just good.

15) Would you go back? If so, what would you order the next time you do? If not, where or what would have been a better option than going there? >> Sure, I'd go again.

THE LAST PLACE YOU VISITED THAT WAS MORE THAN 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM YOUR HOME: 16) Where did you go and what did you do there? >> Hmm... really testing the limits of my memory here. Uh... oh, it might have been Lansing. Went to Lansing on Christmas because Sparrow's family's Christmas dinner was being held at their sister's house.

17) How did you get to this place? How comfortable was the trip? >> Sparrow drove us. The trip was fine, it was like an hour and a half or something.

18) What about this area do you wish exists in or applies to where you live? >> They do have the superior Horrock's over there. Also they have this banger pizza place that I can't remember the name of but I think about constantly.

19) Do you know anyone who lives in this area? >> Yeah, the people we went to visit.

20) If you had to live in this area, what kind of housing arrangement would you choose? >> I don't want to live in Lansing. If I had to live anywhere in Michigan, I'd choose Detroit. Otherwise, send me south. Or west. Hell, east. Anywhere but north, I guess, lmao.

Questions inspired by the Big Five Personality Traits (OCEAN) A themed survey by Guia from scyphozoan

OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE

1) What was the last new and exciting experience you’ve had? >> I built a PC in February. The new-and-exciting quality of this experience was unfortunately tempered by the fact that I tend to become very attached to computers, and building one is a real fast-track to that sort of attachment. This was a downer because the PC I was building was for Sparrow, not me. (There's also the disappointment in that I always thought the first PC I would build would be my own, but I never could afford a custom build. You always want your first time to be perfect, y'know.) 2) What culture interests you the most? When was the last time you experienced a culture that is the opposite of your own? >> All cultures interest me, because all culture is interesting. The very concept of culture and how it is molded by history, time, evolution, etc is endlessly fascinating. As much as I don't like it, even USAmerican culture is interesting -- even if sometimes that interestingness is negative or has negative roots (the foundational impact of slavery, for example). That's not unique to the US, anyway. I'm not sure what constitutes a cultural experience (aside from major things like actually going to another country). Does media count? Hmm.

3) What pushes you out of your comfort zone? Do you remember the last time you opted to stay within it instead? >> A "comfort zone" being seen as a thing one should always be seeking to escape is a fraught one to me, as a complexly traumatised individual, so I don't really use it. I just do what feels good at the time and leave it at that. 4) What's the most unique or exotic food you've tried? >> I don't know how to determine this. What makes something more unique or exotic than something else?

5) What change or new experience would you like to have in your life in the next year? >> I don't know. Making a friend or two? Like, a legit one, not something casual and circumstantial? That would be novel.

CONSCIENTIOUSNESS

6) Is there a specific routine — small or big — that you never fail to follow in your daily life? >> Never fail? I doubt it. I do have routines, of course, but they can never be set in stone. I generally make a hot beverage (tea usually, but I've been incorporating coffee lately) every morning. But some mornings I don't, for various reasons (going out to a coffeeshop instead, for example, or really not being in the mood for something hot).

7) How are you with deadlines? >> Incorrigible. Having a deadline imposed on me is a surefire way to ensure that the thing won't get done at all.

8) If you are working, how do you prioritize and manage your tasks on a typical day? If you don’t work, how do you go about planning or going through your day? >> I plan my days very loosely, prioritising checking in with myself periodically to make sure my needs are being met. Basically, I do what I want. "What I want" is an nuanced and endlessly varying property, and sometimes it even includes household tasks.

9) Do you use any tools/apps/websites to stay organized? >> Obsidian (extremely robust writing/organisation app) and Tasks (simple listmaking phone app) are my ride-or-dies for this. 10) How easily distracted are you? What things are likely to cause you distractions, and how do you refocus? >> I am very easily distracted by sensory input, but this is easily solved by using defensive tactics (noise-cancelling headphones, sunglasses, the like). I also don't attempt to multitask, because I know that doesn't work for me.

EXTRAVERSION

11) When was the last time you were part of a large gathering? >> Well, there were a lot of people at the park I went to to watch the eclipse? I don't know, the only other thing I can think of is a concert, and the last concert I went to was at a club, so not very large of a gathering. As you can probably infer, I don't do large gatherings if I can help it.

12) What makes social gathering enjoyable for you? >> Hmm. When it revolves around a special interest or hyperfixation so I have plenty of opportunity for enthusiastic engagement with other people about a thing I actually care about. When it's on the small side and being held in a quiet place without a lot of competing stimuli. When I'm not required to do a bunch of shit I don't like, like icebreakers.

13) Are you likely to accept spontaneous invitations? If yes, when was the last time you did? If not, how do you turn them down? >> Assuming "spontaneous invitation" means like, a random invite out at short notice (like "hey we're going to x restaurant tonight, want to come?")... I can't even remember the last time I got one of these. To assess it from a hypothetical standpoint... I mean, I think I'm most inclined to decline a short-notice invitation because I have a certain rhythm to my days and new experiences have to be incorporated into that rhythm ahead of time so I can prepare for it. But declining it would still suck because I so rarely do anything and the lost opportunity would weigh on me. 14) Are you more likely to be the first to introduce yourself to people or wait until introduced or approached by others? >> If I have something to say, I just go ahead and say it. Just introducing myself to someone doesn't seem like a compelling reason to approach someone, though? For me, I mean. Like, I need to have something else to say other than my name :V Otherwise, why would they care? IDK.

15) How often or how much do you need to recharge after being in a highly social situations? >> I always need significant quiet alone time after being in a social situation.

AGREEABLENESS

16) When was the last time you offered to help someone? >> Uh... hmm. Long time ago? I'm just rarely in this position in the first place.

17) When working with a team, how likely are you to raise concerns or opposing opinions? >> Likely. 18) Was there a time when you found it difficult to feel sorry for someone? >> I mean, I don't really feel sorry for people in the first place. So... always? But also not, because I'm not "finding it difficult", I'm just not having the impulse. I'm not vexed by that. 19) Did you ever feel like your kindness was being taken advantage of? >> Sure. Because it was.

20) Name someone you have forgiven. Did they turn out to be worth your forgiveness? .

NEUROTICISM

21) How self-aware are you of your own stress and anxiety levels? Do you have early-warning signs that you typically try to watch out for? >> Extremely self-aware, out of necessity. My well-being would quickly spiral out of control if I didn't keep a close eye on things and adjust accordingly. This, ironically, can be its own source of stress sometimes, lol, but. I do have warning signs, stuff like sudden irritability, certain thought patterns that seem to come out of nowhere, gut pain, etc. I feel like I discover new warning signs all the time.

22) What are your tried and tested methods for mood improvement? >> I have learned that chasing mood improvement is counterproductive for me. I do need to just sit with whatever I'm experiencing and let it pass over me and through me. My body needs to trust that we can feel whatever we're feeling without it becoming a Huge Fucking Deal that upends our life and lasts forever and ever. The more I commit to doing that, the more naturally a mood shift eventually occurs. But I can't chase it.

23) Is there a commonly suggested method, practice or habit that you don’t find to be effective for yourself? >> Oh, probably. I can't think of one off the top of my head, though. 24) Is there anything / anyone / any place you now actively avoid in order to keep your inner peace? >> Same answer as last question, lol. The thing about avoiding stuff is, you know -- out of sight, out of mind. It's harder to remember something if I'm not engaging with it. 25) What do you think of when you have to think happy thoughts? >> Why would I have to do that? Oh, like, if I was literally in Peter Pan and was trying to fly? Then... I guess I would think about Can Calah.

1189.

Would you ever become a fan of a team you hate to please your spouse? >> I'm not interested in pleasing someone through suppression of my own tastes and preferences. They're grown, they can like what they like separately from me. And we can instead bond over things that we do both enjoy.

Can you handle scary movies? >> I can "handle" them, sure, lol. More importantly, I greatly enjoy watching them. How often do you get a new purse…and for guys a new wallet? .

What is the most money that you have ever spent on getting your nails done? >> I have never spent money on this. The few times I've had my nails done were either on someone else's dime or because my spouse was a nail tech and needed models.

Once a cheater, always a cheater? >> I don't think so.

What word describes your last relationship? .

Do you have a fake I.D.? >> I've never had one of these.

Would you date someone 5 years older than you? .

Have you ever been fingered? >> Sure. This question really came out of left field, though 😂

Have you ever been to California? Did you like it? >> I have not been. I would like to one day.

Does it matter to you if your boyfriend/girlfriend drinks? >> I'm sure the specifics and circumstances of said drinking are what would actually matter.

Honestly, if you wanted to get laid right now, could you? >> I could. Not in meatspace, of course, but I could.

Do you like deviled eggs? >> Usually. I shoved one into my mouth at Sparrow's parents' house this past Easter and instantly regretted it (it had, like, Old Bay-seasoned crab in the filling? or something like that? and I guess Old Bay has mustard in it and I did not like that). What is your favorite horror movie? >> Horror is pretty much my top favourite genre, there's no way I'm choosing a single favourite. Here's three that I love, just off the top of my head: Candyman (1992), Hellraiser II: Hellbound, In the Mouth of Madness.

Has a little kid ever fallen asleep on your lap before? >> I don't think so. Not on my lap, anyway; I've held a sleeping infant. What’s your favorite kind of float? (coke, root beer) .

If you heard your best friend’s significant other was cheating on them, would you tell them? Even if you couldn’t prove it? >> I'd tell them what I heard, and from whom, and leave it at that.

If you discovered you were pregnant at this point in time, would you keep it or abort it? Why? . What is the last thing you googled? >> I typed the name of a book into the search bar so that the autofill suggestions would provide me with the author's name so I could make sure I was spelling it correctly. How far away do you live from the closest mall? >> I don't know, maybe 10 miles? About a 20 minute drive, and about a hour-long bus journey. So it goes. Have you ever jumped off a high dive into a pool? >> I have not, seeing as I cannot swim and that would probably kill me.

Ever had sex in a public place? >> I have. What foods can you absolutely not eat? .

List four things about your facial appearance: >> I have a sizeable facial scar, I have a septum piercing, I have a square-ish jaw, and I have chin whiskers (remnants of past HRT).

Do you like hot, cold, or lukewarm showers? >> Somewhere between lukewarm and hot.

Favorite holiday? .

Have you ever taken part in a threesome? >> I have. I've never taken part in one that was truly enjoyable, though.

Have you told your parents all of your secrets from when you were a teen? . When drinking hard alcohol do you take shots more or make mixed drinks? >> I love cocktails. I will always choose cocktails. Have you ever been to an arena concert? >> I have, and it was regrettable. Well, at least one of them was. Seeing TSO isn't so bad, because at least there is seating. But it's also not exactly great, you know what I mean...

Do you plan on having both your parents at your wedding? >> Exactly three people came to my wedding on my behalf, and none of them were parents.

Has a friend ever really hurt you and you never told them? >> There is no way I could have told people that they'd hurt me. I don't think I've ever been in relationship with a person that it was safe to say that sort of thing to. Have you ever stayed on a ride at a theme park to ride it again? >> I don't think so. Or, like, I wasn't able to.

Do you work any holidays? .

Last funeral you attended? .

Where did your mother and father meet for the first time? .

What is your oldest sibling’s middle name? .

Have you ever stayed in a cheap motel? >> I lived in one for a few months.

What are you currently dressed in? >> Joggers, undershirt, hoodie.

Do you feel bored with your life? >> I do sometimes. It's a very samey and uneventful existence, which I don't always hate (and in some ways, it's necessary for me), but I have a strong desire for novelty that is very difficult to satisfy when I basically do the same shit every day and rarely leave the house to do anything that's not grocery shopping or otherwise a practical errand. Who's someone you miss that you haven't talked to in years? >> Steven from the Streetwork drop-in. :(

Do you miss anyone who was mean to you in the past? >> Sure, because nostalgia doesn't discriminate anywhere near as well as it should.

How do you feel right now? >> Bored -- not in the "I have nothing to do" way, in the "I don't want to do any of the limited amount of things I can do right now" way. Novelty-starved, understimulated. Do you have severe withdrawals from medications? .

What's the most weight you've ever gained from a medication? .

Do you have a doctor you can trust? >> I do not.

What's the stupidest decision you ever made? .

What's the best thing that ever happened to you? .

How old were you the first time you encountered God? >> I think I was in my mid-twenties by the time I started having divine dalliances.

Have you ever been filled with the Holy Spirit? >> Not the one you're thinking of. And not nearly in the way you're thinking of it, either.

Have you ever had an encounter with the supernatural? >> Sure.

How many tattoos do you have, and what are they of? >> Three. The number XIX with a spider dangling from the "I", a Mannaz rune, and "scully, it's me" in typewriter font.

How do you get through hard times? >> By whatever means is available to me. It's not like I have much of a choice unless I'm going to commit suicide. So technically, whatever I do during a hard time is getting me through, even if it's just laying there and waiting for said hard times to pass.

What's the most physically painful thing you've ever experienced? >> Menstrual cramps.

What's the worst level of emotional pain you've ever experienced? >> I have very few experiences with extreme physical pain, hence my ability to choose one for the previous question. But I have way too many experiences with extreme emotional pain, so ranking is not possible here.

Have you ever been suicidal? >> Frequently.

Do you pray? If yes, to whom? >> I do not.

Do you ever feel lost and alone? >> Sure.

What was the last thing that made you angry? >> Whatever it was, I've forgotten it.

Have you ever been the victim of a crime? >> I was mugged for a shitty broken iPod Touch once. I'm assuming the muggers went home with their dubious spoils, while I went back to the shelter. That part is the real crime, in my opinion.

Is your life worse than you could have ever have imagined it to be? or is it better, or just what you expected? >> I had no expectations in the first place.

Are you married? >> I am.

Are you hurting in any way right now? >> I am not. Not consciously/actively, that is. What are you wearing? >> Old Navy joggers, undershirt, Duff's hoodie.

What was the last good book you read about? >> The last book I read was I Am An Executioner: Love Stories by Rajesh Parameswaran, and I loved it. It's a short-story collection of unconventional love stories, which already would have been my jam, but I also love stories that are distinctly from the author's cultural perspective.

What was the last flavor of tea you drank? >> Harney & Sons' Black Cask Bourbon variety. It's a blend that most notably has lapsang souchong, my favourite.

Do you feel like youtube's gotten boring lately? >> Not at all. There are certainly a lot of videos in styles that don't interest me, about things that don't interest me. But there are also many videos that do interest me, and I know how to find them.

What would you change about your hair if you could? . Are you jealous of anyone? >> Sure, there are several pretty big things that a lot of people have and I don't. And plenty of little things, of course.

Do you have a secret? >> I don't think so.

If you could tell anyone a secret right now, who would it be? . Do you miss someone that you blew it with? >> I do, but I think "blowing it" with them was probably for the best anyway. Is there a guy (or girl) you wish you hadn't screwed things up with? >> This reads to me as the same as the last question.

What was the best date you've ever been on? .

What's the last great song you discovered? >> Well, the last song that I added to my Liked Songs was Che Sia Vita O Morte by Keygen Church.

Do you prefer color or black and white? >> I don't have a preference.

Do you own a thermometer? >> I do not.

Has facebook gotten boring lately? >> I never thought Facebook was interesting to begin with. More like a utility, to me, than a place to have fun.

How old are you? >> 36. What year were you born? >> I mean, do the math.

Did you go to prom? >> I did.

Are you jealous of people who are ten years younger? >> If there's one thing I'm never jealous of, it's people's ages.

If you could rewind time ten years, would you? >> Absolutely not. What do you miss the most about your past? >> I miss being less self-conscious. Less... aware. Of a lot of things.

What is the last song you played on repeat? .

Do you own a CD player? >> I do not.

What hard thing are you going through right now, if applicable? >> Oh, the usual... At what time of day do you usually feel the most energetic? >> It really just depends on how well I've slept, how regulated I am, etc. But assuming all those other pieces are in place, I generally feel the most energy in the midmorning hours.

Have you ever broken a bone? >> I have not.

What type of perfume do you use the most? >> I have some roll-ons from Demeter that I use day-to-day, and I also have my Thierry Mugler Alien dupe.

What book are you reading, currently? >> I am an Executioner: Love Stories by Rajesh Parameswaran. I like it a lot but the first two stories definitely ripped my heart out.

Can a boy and girl be friends without having feeling for one another? .

Can you ever see yourself and your ex back together? . Are any of your friends virgins? .

Who did you last go out to eat with? >> Sparrow.

Is your ex a complete loser? >> I'm far out of the phase of disparaging people I used to be entangled with. What does the shirt you’re wearing look like? Where did you get it from? >> I'm just wearing an undershirt.

Who is the funniest person you know? .

Do you say sorry first? .

What do you look like right now? >> What do you mean, what do I look like? A person?

Who’s bed were you on last? >> Mine. Who was the last person you talked to before you went to bed last night? .

Do you like to cuddle? >> I love to cuddle in realmspace. Don't know if I'd like cuddling in meatspace -- first I'd have to find someone out here that I'd actually want to be that close to. That's hard enough.

Is sex on your mind more than 3 times a day? >> Oh, absolutely.

What were you doing an hour ago? >> I was pacing around my room to get some movement in whilst watching TikToks.

Do you like it up against the wall? >> Fucking? Are we talking about fucking? It's a great concept but in meatspace it can get a little uncomfortable, painful even, depending on exactly what kind of contact is happening.

Do you prefer girlfriend / boyfriend or friends with benefits? >> These particular dividing lines don't make any sense to me, so I can't say.

Are you smiling? >> I am not. But my face hurts because I was just smiling very goofily at a video of Matthew McConaughey making noises for three minutes straight that a tumblr mutual tagged me in. Why is he the way that he is 🖤

When did you last eat pizza? >> A couple of weeks ago? At least. Honestly, are things going the way you planned? >> What things? Not that it matters, I don't really plan in the first place.

Is the last person of the opposite sex you texted single? . Who did you spend your summer with last year? .

Did you wear what you are wearing today for a specific reason? >> The specific reason of it being comfortable, yeah. I chose these pants because I just got them yesterday at the thrift shop and I wanted to see how they fit. Which is perfectly, thank the gods. They're very soft, too, and they have pockets. Best five dollars I could have spent. What was the last thing you ate? >> Birds Eye brand veggie rotini (as in, the rotini is made from veggies) with marinara sauce. Put sundried tomatoes and bacon bits and crunchy onions in it too.

Are you taking this survey in a place other than your home? >> I am not.

Did you get ice cream from the ice cream truck when you were little? Do they still have an ice cream truck where you live? >> I wasn't allowed to, no. Ice cream trucks do exist where I currently live. One of them neighs, for some reason, and I'll always remember the time when I was in the middle of some ~play~ and that fucking neigh went off right outside my window. Definitely a mood shift...

What has been the most traumatic experience of your life? Does it still bother you? >> There's no way I can pick one event as Thee Most Traumatic. The "complex" in CPTSD is there for a reson.

What would happen if you had a baby with the last person you kissed? >> Of all the things we get up to in realmspace, having babies is not going to be one of them.

Don’t you hate it when your cell phone dies in the middle of a convo? . If you knew you had the right person, would you marry them today? .

Would you run down the street naked if it meant earning $15,000? >> Sure, as long as I'm granted immunity from the law. Having to blow that 15k on bail or lawyers or court fees would suck.

Where was the last place you got completely wasted? >> Either J. Gardella's Tavern (RIP) or my house. Have you ever changed the prices of items at a store? >> I haven't.

Would your parents disown you if you got pregnant? .

When was the last time you drank alcohol? What was it? >> This is probably one of those surveys that is actually 3 surveys shoved together into one. As stated, I don't remember exactly when, but I know it was a Pearsecco.

Do you like where you live? >> I don't much care for it.

Are you going to any concerts or festivals this summer? >> I don't know anything about this summer yet, it's only March.

Have you had sex with someone you weren’t married to? Someone you weren’t even dating? >> I have only had sex with people I wasn't married to. I have also had sex with plenty of people I wasn't dating. Are you under the age of 18? >> I am not.

Do you have a job? >> I do not.

Are you going to school still? Do you plan on going to college? >> I do not plan on going to college.

Are you overweight? >> I assume not.

Would you get married at 18? >> Well, I didn't.

Have you ever been so wasted, you couldn’t walk? >> I have not, strangely enough. I've been so high on dissociatives that I could barely walk, but I could walk. I just looked like a really fucked up robot.

What is the last thing that you got really excited over? . Any baby names you think you might name your future kids? .

When was the last time you had sex? >> In realmspace, a couple of days ago. In meatspace, uhh... 2017? The last time I had the kind of sex that actually involved like, taking clothes off and putting things in places was 2015.

Who did you last hang out with other then family? . Do you remember the last boy you texted? What was it about? .

If you could go back in time and change things, would you? .

Has anyone had their hand in your pants today? >> No.

Do you like your dad? How about your mom? .

Have you had a good day today or was yesterday better? >> Both today and yesterday were just regular old days. I mean, yesterday I did go to the thrift store, which was different, but otherwise it was just... a day.

Do you have anything that belongs to your boyfriend/girlfriend? .

Think back to your most important relationship, was it all your fault it’s over? .

Was your last kiss drunk or sober? >> Well, it certainly wasn't drunk.

What’s your favorite color? >> Yellow/gold. Do you drink? >> Infrequently.

Do you smoke? >> Not tobacco.

Ever had a black eye? >> I have not. I don't think.

When was the last time you slept in bed with a member of the opposite sex? Who was it? . Did your most recent kiss take place in/on a bed? .

Has anyone seen you naked in the last 6 months? >> Yeah, because I live with someone and I don't care about being unclothed around them. How would you describe your current relationship status? >> Well. My legal relationship status is married. I don't have much use for the concept of a "relationship status" otherwise.

Have you ever shared food/drink off the same plate/glass as someone you like? >> I mean, I've done that with several people, not because I was romantically interested in them but just because I'm cool with sharing food with people.

Have you ever had a valentine? .

Have your lips ever gone numb from kissing? >> This has not happened to me.

Last person to cuddle with? >> Can Calah, as usual.

Do you ever worry about your future? (i.e.: college, marriage, kids, etc) >> When I'm stressed about my future, that isn't the sort of thing I'm stressed about. I'm thinking about decades of soul-deep loneliness and skin hunger, decades of struggling with my various mental and emotional blocks over and over again, decades of trying to thrive in a region that doesn't suit me. Basically, I suffer from a typical post-traumatic lack of imagination -- I can't reliably imagine a me that isn't just like the me I am right now, in the situations I am in right now.

Does your family use coasters? Is anyone in your family excessively tidy? >> Well, I don't use coasters most of the time. I don't think "excessively tidy" describes me, either.

What’s your least favorite chore to do around the house? Do you have to do this often? >> They're all my least favourite, but the one I absolutely cannot deal with is cleaning the bathroom. I mean, I technically could deal with it. If I had to. But it would be pretty rough on me.

If you went to your mom/dad or whoever you live with and said “hey, I’ll clean the whole house if you give me 20 bucks” would they go for it? Would you raise the price? .

Are you usually late, early or right on time? >> Either almost uncomfortably early or right on time, depending on the bus schedule (my being stupid-early is usually because if I took the next bus I'd be late).

If you wrote a journal entry about your last date, what would it say? .

On a scale of 1 to 5 how organized are you? >> I don't know how to rate my organisational level on a number scale, but I think my need for and enjoyment of organisation is pretty significant.

Name a movie you can watch over and over again and not be bored with? .

Do you wear pajamas to places other than at your house? >> I do not.

Do you take showers in the morning or at night more? >> I only shower in the evening. What is the wallpaper on your cellphone? >> Lock screen is a fanart of Randall Flagg and home screen is a fanart of Orin the Red.

What is the worst thing someone has ever done to you? .

Have you ever gone nude/streaked in public? >> I have not.

Why aren’t you with the person you love? .

Could you go out in public looking like you do now? >> I could not. I'd freeze instantly, for starters.

Do you like the rain? >> I do, but not in abundance. What is your mom listed under in your phone? .

Do you like going to the dentist? >> Going to the dentist dysregulates me so bad I turn into a terrible patient without wanting to. I think I genuinely need a handler for medical procedures.

Are you afraid of speaking to large audiences? >> I am not. I wouldn't love it, it's not my scene, but I'm not afraid of it. Are you afraid to tell the truth sometimes? >> Sure.

What’s one quality about yourself that you feel sets you back but also helps you? >> This is one of those things that I know I have multiple answers to because I've thought about this exact concept before, but unfortunately I can't remember on command.

Was anyone who had been in your company today in a bad mood? >> No one has been in my company today.

The last time you felt sick what exactly was wrong? . What did you do today? >> I made tea, checked up on all my accounts, made sandwiches, watched a movie, played some ESO, rode the stationary bike for fifteen minutes, took a shower, and took this survey.

Do you still remember your first kiss? >> I remember the first time someone kissed me. I don't remember the first time someone kissed me in a non-coercive, totally consensual way.

Have you ever set anything on fire? >> I have. Have you kissed the last person you texted? .

Do you find tattoos attractive in the opposite sex? >> Tattoos are not what make me find a person attractive or unattractive. Who is the person you have hurt the most? >> I have no way of knowing this. Who is the person that has hurt you the most? >> Ultimately, that goes to my parent. Many of the things that affect me to this very day were because of something he did, even if that something was more indirect like "shipping me off to live with extended family members without vetting them as people first".

Have you smoked a cigarette today? >> I have not.

Are you listening to any music? What song? >> I am not.

Have you cried this past week? >> Of course. Say your last ex walks up to you and hugs you, what do you say? .

Would you date someone right now if they asked? >> That... obviously depends on who was asking, doesn't it? Generally I am open to a variety of relationship structures, but not open to any old person who sought one...

Has someone recently told you something you didn’t want to hear? >> I don't think so.

Who was the last baby you held? >> Elliott, and he's four now, so that's how long ago that was.

Do you think relationships are hard? >> For me, absolutely. Significantly harder than they'd be for the average person.

Did your parents do drugs when they were younger? .

What color are your eyes? >> Dark brown.

Do you listen to music while you fill out surveys? >> I don't, I don't listen to music when doing anything that requires language processing. Would you date someone that had a different religion from you? >> Religiosity wouldn't be a dealbreaker on its own. I quite like religion, but people interact with religion in wildly different ways and that's the salient bit.

Have you ever been on a laptop inside a vehicle? >> On trains and maybe a bus. Not a car. While on the road, do you play any road games? >> When I was a child I played the license plate game with myself. I'd have a sheet of paper and write down the names of other states and then put a tally mark every time I saw a plate from that state.

Do you have a button up shirt? >> I had one to go with my suit but it doesn't fit anymore, so I have none now. Has there been a word you thought you were spelling correctly but then you find out that it isn’t? What was the word? >> I don't think so.

I'm also not a driver, so. Have you accidentally put lipgloss/lipstick on your teeth before? >> I haven't. If you wear chapstick, do you have any special flavors or just the regular kind? >> I got so fed up with all the random ingredients in lip balms that I stopped bothering and now I just use Palmer's cocoa butter. And frankly, it's been doing an excellent job. I barely even have to apply it most days (which is crazy when I think about how often I used to have to apply lip balm, probably because some other random ingredient in it was actually an irritant), it just works.

Do you think little babies look cute in overalls? >> I don't think about it at all.

Have you ever tried Crystal Lite? If so, what’s your favorite? >> A long time ago.

Do you own any pajama bottoms with a design on them? Explain what it is [or you can post a picture up if your heart desires to.] >> All my lounge pants and pj pants are patterned.

Do you like eating shrimp? >> Sure.

Ever heard of Rochester, NY? >> Sure. Do you have a fence? >> Along two sides of the house/yard, yes.

Do you have any signs on your bedroom door? >> I do not. If you have any pets, do you talk to them in a baby voice? .

Anyways… When was the last time you went out in the rain?: .

Have you ever seen a Tim Burton movie, like Coraline, 9, etc.?: >> Neither of those are Tim Burton movies -- people mistakenly attribute Coraline to him because he's the only stop-motion director they know of (it's actually Henry Selick. you'll notice this also happens with Nightmare Before Christmas) and Burton is one of 9's producers but not its director (this is also part of the confusion with NBC, also because it was mostly Burton's brainchild and we tend to associate that with a directorial role). I did see both of them and I have seen multiple actually-directed-by-Burton films as well. Do you keep 3D glasses after you’ve left the movie theatre?: >> I don't.

Do you like meatball subs? >> I don't know, but I'm also not interested in finding out.

Ever gone a whole day without eating? >> I'm sure I have.

Do you feel that you need to improve your spiritual life? >> I do feel the more esoteric aspects of my life go neglected far too often because of the extremely pressing demands of my physical life, and also because of the anxieties I feel about said neglect. But I also think those aspects still come through in their own ways, even when I'm not particularly attuned to them. Also, it's all connected, everything is serving everything else, etc, etc.

Can you curse fluently in Spanish? >> I cannot. If you go to school (HS or college) does your school have a rival? .

What’s your school’s mascot? .

Do the numbers 44 and 53 mean anything to you? >> They do not. Ever had banana pudding flavored ice cream? >> I have not. If you have a sib, do you call him/her “brother” or “sister” sometimes? .

Unfortunately, the mat sucked, so I didn't get to live out my dream of using DDR as exercise. Did you ever collect stickers? >> I have not and I do not.

Isn’t Hello Kitty just the cutest thing ever? >> Hello Kitty is not my favourite Sanrio character, I think many of the other ones are much cuter (Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Kuromi, Keroppi, just to name a few).

Do you have a weird obsession with numbers? >> I do not.

Does your job (if you have one) involve sitting at a computer for hours? . Do you get major shoulder/upper back pain from that?

Do you have someone who will give you a massage when you need one? >> I'm sure Sparrow would if I asked, but I wouldn't ask.

Ever seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? >> A long time ago, long enough ago that I don't count it anymore. I might actually add that to my watchlist.

Do you have an American-made car? .

If not, do you like the smell? .

Are you in a chair, on a couch, in bed, on the floor, what? >> My bed.

Can you eat just one potato chip? >> I could, but why on earth would I? If your best male friend got a mohawk, would he look good or ridiculous? .

Do you love the smell of sunblock? >> I don't love it. I don't necessarily hate it, but I don't love it. It could definitely stand to be less cloying. Does the computer you’re on have Vista, XP, or something else? >> Heh. 10. I had to interact with 11 when I built Sparrow's PC and god, I have never hated an OS more. Disgusting.

Internet Explorer or Firefox: which do you prefer? >> I guess the updated version to this would be "Edge vs Firefox". Either way, the answer was always Firefox. The only thing that ever took me away from FF was early Chrome, back when it was actually sleeker and faster and not the absolute trashfire Hellscape Navigator it is today.

What are you going to do now? >> I haven't decided yet.

What is the wallpaper on your cellphone? >> I just changed it (finally) so now it's Randall Flagg fanart for the lock screen and Orin the Red fanart for the home screen.

Where is your best friend right now? .

Can you count to 100 in any other language? >> I cannot.

Do you headbang often? >> Fairly often, since I listen to metal a lot.

Magenta or orchid? >> Orchid. Are you a fan of Rob Zombie? >> Casually. I love a couple of his movies and I think his music's pretty tight even if I don't listen to it regularly.

Last two songs you listened to? >> Seven by Sunny Day Real Estate (a song I do like, particularly the last half, but I decided to take it off Liked Songs for now) and Insignificant by Nevermore.

Are there any shoes you are really wanting? >> There are not. I just want my feet to not hurt, and the majority of shoes seem tailor-made to do the opposite of that. I'm sick of shoes. I wish I didn't have to deal with them at all.

Describe what you are wearing? >> Blue Stitch-patterned lounge pants, black undershirt, black Duff's Brooklyn hoodie.

Look out the window - what do you see? >> Tree branches, the sky, and the top of the garage.

Television or computer? >> My computer is my television. Germany or France? .

Hawthorne Heights or She Wants Revenge? >> I don't listen to either, but She Wants Revenge is the only one whose music actually comes to mind (I don't know if I've ever heard a HH song).

Is your skin sensitive? >> Not especially.

Are you sensitive in general? >> Oh, I absolutely can be.

Who last left you a note? .

Have you ever made a gingerbread house? >> I think I've participated in the assemblage of one, but not very enthusiastically, lol. I'm not much into that sort of thing.

Who did you last get in a fight with? .

Are things resolved between the two of you now? .

Did you have any weird dreams last night? >> Oh my god, did I. It was awful. My subconscious is quite dedicated to pouring every ounce of creative energy we have into crafting elaborate anxiety constructs for us to get lost in. And with the boundless capacity of dream logic, the sky's the limit!

Tell me one thing you remember from it? >> A longtime (I mean 10+ years long) tumblr mutual softblocked me because I just wasn't a warm enough person for them and they got tired of it.

Lets have some lyrics to end this, yeah? >> Let's not (I just have Seven stuck in my head because of the earlier question about songs and I don't really know the lyrics to that one).

1. Do you enjoy rhododendrons? >> Sure, they're very pretty.

4. Which is your favorite print: Plaid, animal, stripes, spots, other? >> Plaid is the one I dislike the least...

5. Have you ever owned a cell phone for over a year? If so, was it still working well? >> There is no way I would voluntarily get a new phone after less than a year. That is horrifying to me.

6. What’s the worst sickness you’ve ever had? >> Food poisoning. Also, the sickness that comes with bad menstrual cramps.

8. Is your favorite animal something you can have as a pet? . 9. Are you good at gardening? >> I am not because I don't practice it.

Do you think you would actually read any of the epic poems, such as Beowulf or The Iliad? >> Probably not. 12. Are you the type of person who feels guilty after eating junk food? >> I don’t feel guilty after eating anything. God, what a concept. :/

13. Tell me about a time when you felt like you had no real friends: >> I always feel like that. It might be a side effect of having no fulfilling friendships (aside from Sparrow, I suppose, but the "fulfilling" part is, uh, variable).

14. Have you ever felt betrayed by someone? If so, what did they do to make you feel that way? >> Possibly. I never use this term so I don't have an associated memory handy.

15. Which is better: Xbox 360 or PS3? Or are you someone who doesn’t care? >> I don’t have an opinion.

16. Have you gotten registered to vote yet? >> I am registered.

17. What do you like best about your favorite actor? How about favorite actress? >> Usually what makes an actor a favourite for me is that they do something to me, viscerally. It's something like attraction, I suppose. Certainly as hard to explain.

18. Tell me how you’re feeling in another language: .

19. Would you rather drink water all day or Coca Cola all day? >> Water. I rarely drink Coke in the first place.

30. Do you have a turntable and vinyls that you regularly play? >> I do have these things but I don't regularly use them. It's just so much more of a hassle to do so than it is to just play Spotify. Also, I don't think my record player has Bluetooth capability and I usually listen to music through wireless headphones.

31. What is the most irritating thing that a boyfriend or girlfriend has ever done to you? >> I am so easily irritated by people that this is impossible to determine, lol.

32. Have you ever thrown up from being so nervous? What was happening that made you so nervous? >> I have not.

33. Would you rather be uncomfortable but fashionable or comfortable but unfashionable? >> I will always choose to be comfortable, but I don't think that excludes me from being fashionable. It just requires some cleverness.

34. When was the last time you took your pet to the vet? What was wrong with it? . 35. Have you ever known someone who was in an abusive relationship? >> Well, yeah. Unfortunately, that is extremely common.

36. If you smoke/drink/do drugs, do you feel insulted when someone tells you that it’s bad for you? >> If someone tried to tell me that, I would be extremely irritated at best. I am quite capable of evaluating personal risk and making informed decisions, thank you.

37. Do you like skiing or snowboarding? >> I have never done this. 38. Do you find government buildings dreary and uncomfortable? >> Sometimes, but mostly I don't think about them at all.

When did you last see someone you know in public? >> I hardly know anyone, so this doesn't really happen.

Do you enjoy going to the dentist? >> I am massively triggered by any kind of medical visit, so, no.

When did you last eat something you didn’t like? >> I don't eat things I don't like...

Do you think you’d survive if zombies took over the world? >> I don't think so, no. Wouldn't want to, anyway.

When did you last hang out with a bunch of friends at one time? .

What kind of music is your least favorite? >> I guess ambient? I just don't find it interesting in the slightest.

Are you and your best friend complete opposites? .

Would people around you say you’re regularly a mean person? >> A lot of people have said this or some variation of it about me. Do you like the colour yellow at all? >> It's my favourite colour :)

If you were to write a novel, what would it be about? >> I don't think I have a novel in me.

How many times have you logged in to Bzoink? (it has a counter) >> Well! I certainly can't check now, can I!

Are you currently pretending to be someone’s friend? >> I barely have the ability to be a friend to someone I want to befriend. How on earth would I pull off pretending? Also, I'd much rather put what little social energy/ability I have into people I like.

Are you an impatient person? >> Sometimes.

Are you afraid to watch movies that have sex scenes with your friends? .

Who sings the last song you listened to? >> No one, it was an instrumental track from a movie score. Why do you think some actors don't want to see their movies/shows? >> That's not for me to say, now, is it?

Do you think fortune tellers are the devil’s messengers (haha)? >> I don't think anything specific about fortune tellers as a whole. That's a large demographic full of a variety of people, some of whom are charlatans, but some of whom are not.

Would you rather use napkins or paper towels? >> I use paper towels. Paper towels have a wider application than napkins do, one of those applications being "napkin". So it seems more logical to just use the one thing.

Do you go to the pool in the summer time very often? >> I never go to pools. Have you ever had a serious issue involving your eyes? >> I have not.

Have you ever watched South Park? Who’s your favorite character? >> I've seen a lot of it. My favourite character back when I watched was probably Tweek, I just thought he was cute.

Do you have sensitive teeth? >> I don't.

Do you enjoy or hate snow days? Why is this your choice? . Do you turn pale when you get sick? >> I don't know, I've never been that sick. Does it bother you to get shots in the mouth? Does it hurt? >> Of course it hurts. When did you last talk seriously with one of your parents? .

When did you last kiss someone on the cheek? Who was it? .

Why do you think people like Lady Gaga so much? >> Because that's just what floats their boat.

Do you have a lot of enemies, or not so much? >> I don't think I have any enemies. I guess that's the upside about not really being cared about, no one is super into me but no one is super against me either.

Can you count backwards from 100 without a mistake? >> Sure.

Do you have any friends you’ve had since birth? >> Imagine that...

Do you care if your friends talk badly about you? >> Of fucking course I'd care???

Do you have a problem answering personal questions? >> Not at all. If I don't want to answer one, I won't answer it. No problem at all.

What color is the vacuum-cleaner in your house? >> Grey and blue, I think.

Have you already moved out of your parents’ house? >> lol

Are your parents divorced, married or separated? .

Have you ever thought you might just have obsessive compulsive disorder? >> I have never thought that. Any obsessiveness or compulsion I experience is pretty solidly explained by CPTSD or autism (or their intersection).

Do you think it’s rude to text someone else while on a date? >> As most things: it depends.

What is the funniest movie you’ve ever seen? >> I don't know. I saw Repo Man recently, the 80s movie, and that was surprisingly hilarious to me. The dialogue, the lyrics of the songs, the fucking product labels... A+ What are your views on our current president? >> I don't have any views on him.

Has one of your websites ever quit operating or shut down? Were you sad? >> Unfortunately I have been on the Internet long enough to have experienced this many times over. It sucks every single time. I didn't even use Bzoink to the extent that other users did (I just stole surveys from there to post here), but it still sucked. Websites I use frequently/for long periods of time are yet another part of my life that have to be grieved when they inevitably die.

Is it awkward to see your best friend’s parents out in public? .

Who is the person you talk to the most in your house? >> I only live with one other person.

Is there a television show out there that you never miss? >> There are a few, yeah.

What movie have you seen too many times to be healthy? >> "to be healthy", pff. Please. The movie I've seen the most times is probably Event Horizon.

What are the last two digits of your phone number? >> 39.

Does it creep you out to see people with mullets? >> That's an interesting response. No, hairstyles don't creep me out. What is your biggest responsibility in your household? >> I don't even want to know. Whatever it is, I'm sure I'm failing at it. How cold did it get where you live, last winter? >> Last winter was much colder than this one. Not sure what's going on with this winter but I of all people am not complaining. I hope it's not too ecologically disruptive.

Do you ever wish you could go back in time to redo something? >> I do not.

Ever accidentally pull out a filling from your tooth? >> I have not and I hope I never do. Do you ever wonder what your exes are doing? >> In passing, sometimes. Like if I see something that reminds me of them.

Have you ever been caught in a huge lie with your parents? >> All the time, yeah.

Do you ever listen to the radio anymore? >> I do not.

Does it bother you to have personal conversations with people? >> It does not. I would actually like to have some deep personal conversations for once.

Ever ride in a limo? When did you last do so? >> I have not.

Do any of your body parts hurt at this moment in time? >> No. Are you sober at the time being? >> I am not, although most of the high has worn off by now. Do any of your friends constantly do things to annoy you? >> What the fuck? Apparently people will just be friends with any old kind of person. When did you last eat a Starburst? What color was it? >> I don't remember. It was probably red or pink, I don't really care for any other colour. Have you ever lied to someone & said they could sing when they couldn’t? >> I doubt it.

Do you ever call backstabbers out on what they do? >> I don't know any backstabbers. How many people in the world do you trust? >> *crickets* Well, I mean, trust with what? Like, I trust Sparrow to, idk, not bald-faced lie to me about anything important... well, I mean, they might, but... I assume they won't? But they still might. You see what I mean? It's hard to just unconditionally trust someone. Because people do all sorts of things. I try to assume the best but I'm also always ready for the worst. Yay, trauma.

Have you ever bought a YouTuber’s merch? >> I haven't and I wouldn't.

Do you think oatmeal tastes better when made with water or milk? >> Milk. I like almond milk in mine, the unsweetened vanilla flavour especially.

Have you ever left a note in a library book? >> I have not.

What time of day do you prefer to wash your hair? >> I prefer to shower in the evening, so that's when I wash my scalp. Has anyone ever spread lies about you? >> Certainly.

Have you ever taken a photograph with a celebrity? If so, did it turn out the way you wanted, or do you wish you could retake it? >> I have. The one with Julianne Moore came out fine. I think my worst photo with a performer of any renown was the one with Pete Steele of Type O Negative, because the person taking the photo didn't wait for me to stop laughing before they snapped it. (This wouldn't have been a problem if I had a smartphone and could see it instantly, but this was 2009. I was still rockin with disposable cameras back then.) Which sucks because I will never get a chance to retake that photo and normally I would have been really happy to have it at all but it's ruined by how I look.

If you could move out of your home country permanently, would you? If so, where would you go? >> Most likely. I would want to go somewhere close to the Equator, mainly. I haven't researched specific countries because there's no point if it's never going to be possible, so that's as specific as my answer would get right now.

Is there a celebrity that everyone else seems to love, but you find totally overrated? Why is it that you don’t like them? >> I think that's just celebrities, period. The concept of celebrity in general is wildly overrated to me. I have favourite performers, of course, but I don't participate in any fandom/stan culture around celebrities or anything. If you could volunteer for any charity, which one would you choose? Do you think it’s more important to help humans, or are animal and environmental charities equally important? .

Do you prefer holidays where you relax, or actually do things? .

Do you think that after we die our spirit is still alive? >> I don't have a single solid belief about what happens to a sapient person's spirit post-death. I think many possibilities are likely.

Has anybody ever told you that you could be a model? >> I've had men say that to me as either a come-on or to try to get me to do sex work.

Do you use different kinds of moisturizer for different body parts? ie. hand lotion for your hands, face cream for your face. Or do you just use one moisturizer for all body parts? >> I have a face moisturiser and a body moisturiser. I could probably get more granular than that but that gets expensive so I think I'll stick to this unless I develop a problem area that demands special attention.

Have you ever felt like you were someone’s rebound? >> I haven't felt that.

Has anybody ever broken up with you over something really pathetic? What was it? Have you ever been dumped in a disrespectful way? (eg. through text, through a friend..) >> I don't think so.

Did you have a lot of role models as a kid? >> I don't recall ever having a role model. Do you feel like anyone looks up to you? Why or why not? >> I do not feel this. What do you mean, why not...

What was the last thing you found offensive? . Who is the nicest person you know? .

Do you feel safe in your country? >> Not especially. I mean, mostly, but also not. There's a pretty broad spectrum between "I live in an active war zone/a hellish fascist regime" and "I live in a free and liberal utopia" and when it comes to marginalised peoples the United States really likes playing around in spaces that are closer to the former than you'd gather from all the propaganda about it being the latter.

Do you feel safe where you live? >> In this city, specifically? More or less, although there's been stuff like racially-motivated police brutality/murder here too just like damn near everywhere in this country. Also, once you step a pinky toe outside the city limits the conservatism level skyrockets. So.

Have you been falsely diagnosed with something by a bad doctor? >> I don't think it's entirely accurate to say that all my misdiagnoses were because the clinicians were bad at their job. I mean, they might have been! But I also think that both autism and complex developmental trauma (and their intersections with each other and other social factors) are consistently wildly misunderstood by the exact professionals whose job it is to understand them, which is a systemic issue as opposed to specific individuals being bad at doctoring.

Have you ever had a doctor refuse to treat you? >> I have not had this experience. Name the strangest game you’ve ever played (video game or real game): >> lol "real game". There are some Twine games and Itch.io games that could fit this description, I think. That's where you're going to get truly weird, offbeat, occult shit -- in very small games made by one or two weird people who had a vision and nothing to keep them from realising that vision.

Do you know anyone who has been struck by lightning before? >> I don't think so.

Which cartoon character would you want to keep as a pet? .

Do you like marshmallows? >> I do.

What is your favorite flavor of candy cane? >> I don't care for candy canes mainly because I find their shape inconvenient and frustrating. Have you ever fostered an animal? >> I have not.

Do you still take hot showers when it’s hot out? >> Sure. When writing $ sign, do you draw one line through the S or two? >> One. What animal have you always wanted as a pet but couldn’t have? . List three people you’ve had crushes on: .

Have you ever thrown up from cramps? >> Way too many times. I can't believe we're just expected to live like that.

List three people you had a hard time forgiving. .

Who is the most spiritual person you know? .

Would you ever start a vlog? >> I wouldn't. I can't even be bothered to make TikToks.

Are your dreams coming true yet? .

Do you struggle with depression? >> I struggle with some things that do sometimes look like depression.

Are you haunted by your past? >> I don't think I'd use this phrasing, but the more I think about it, the more it maybe is accurate. What is the inner critic if not the ghostly echoes of all the people who mistreated and neglected me, for example?

What medical conditions do you have? . Do you use a Magic Bullet? >> Oh my god... I definitely was thinking of Magic Wand at first. Good thing my other brain cell kicked in and made me second-guess that, lmao. Anyway, no, I don't have a Magic Bullet (or a Magic Wand, for the record).

What does your apron look like? . What are your favorite spicy foods? >> Oh, I don't know. I just like foods in general to have a bit of spice.

Which do you like better: being an adult or being a kid? >> I would never, ever, ever in my fucking life want to be a child with no rights or agency that is subject to the whims of bigger people again. Were you excited to be a teenager on your thirteenth birthday? >> I don't know.

Did you feel insecure in high school? >> I don't know, man. I just felt bad. Generally bad. All the time.

Would you ever be friends with someone who was suicidal? >> The nuance required to answer this question is astronomical and I'm not doin that right now. Who was the biggest bully in high school? .

What was your favorite class in high school? .

Would you rather have a daughter or a son? . Have you ever written to an advice columnist? >> I haven't, although sometimes I wish I could write to Ask Polly.

Have you ever had a doctor not believe what you told him? >> I have rarely had any concerns to bring to a doctor in the first place.

If you’re female, would you feel uncomfortable having a male gynecologist? >> I'm not female and it doesn't matter what gender my hypothetical gynaecologist is. I'll be massively triggered the entire time anyway, it has nothing to do with the person who is (ideally) just doing their job.

Do you like Lisa Frank? >> Sure. Also, one time I saw a YouTube video about the whole drama behind the Lisa Frank brand and it was juicy. What gives you nightmares? .

Were you ever hospitalized as a child? >> I was not.

Did you get senior pictures taken? >> I did.

What color is your bicycle? >> Orange and black.

Did you ever have to take home a fake baby in health class? >> This was probably the highlight of my ninth grade year. I took the Life Skills (or whatever it was called... something like that) class specifically to get the computerised baby. I also angled to get a weekend instead of just an overnight. I did really well, too, lol.

Would you rather wear ivory or white on your wedding day? What color will your bridesmaids wear? >> Neither of us wore white and we didn't have bridesmaids.

Would you rather have a swimming pool or trampoline? >> Trampoline.

Do you think babies are cute? >> Sure.

Do you dream about the future a lot? >> I don't dream about the future at all.

Do you think about your past a lot? >> I don't think about it, like, consciously. It just informs a lot of my present. I'm always carrying it around with me.

How good are you at living in the moment? >> I am always in the moment. Even when I am actively in flashback I am still in the moment. That's the strange thing about it all -- being in this strange liminal time warp where I am clearly my present self but also clearly feeling and acting from another point in time. A disorienting tension, the illusion of linearity collapsing in on itself.

Have you ever questioned God’s existence? >> Sure, long ago. Vanilla frosting or chocolate? >> I am a frosting hater as a rule but every once in a while I hit upon some good frosting that I can appreciate (sparingly -- I still don't like it in abundance, just as a little extra flavour/texture boost). That could apply to vanilla or chocolate.

What’s your favorite foreign cuisine? >> My favourite cultural cuisine is hard to pinpoint, I just like many, many different kinds of foods.

Have you ever moved to another state? >> I have.

Do you like flowers? >> Sure.

Have you ever thought you were gonna die? >> Sure. What kind of mood are you in today? >> I've been in some kind of fatigue-y dysregulated funk these past couple of days. Today was better than yesterday but I still don't feel fully out of the abyss just yet.

Loaded Questions: Party Game - Part 1 bonesofivory All questions from the Loaded Questions game

What is not worth all the money in the world? >> I bet I will finally think of a funny answer for this randomly in the middle of the night when I'm trying to go to sleep. What would make for a ridiculous new national holiday? >> But there are already so many ridiculous national holidays. I feel like we're full up on those at this point. What would cause you to give a child a "time out"? . What is something you would want to do every day? >> Bask in a sunbeam like a cat.

What word or phrase do you overuse? >> I can never remember one when asked, but I do have a few phrases and words that I sometimes feel self-conscious about because I know I use them constantly.

If you were in jail, whom would you want for your cellmate? .

If you owned a nightclub, what would you call it? >> The Church of Ill Repute. It was the name of a bar/nightclub/concert venue type place I made up for a roleplay character on Vampirefreaks back in the day and I still love it. Or we could just go with something like "Cathedral" or "Midnight Mass" or something if that one's Too Much. (Yes, I'm mostly inspired by that one club that used to exist in NYC that was in an old cathedral -- forget what it's called now, was it... Limelight?? idk but every day of my life I regret I was born just a bit too late to have been able to go there myself.)

What image should be next to the word "extraordinary" in a dictionary? >> The aforementioned NYC nightclub. On what TV show would you make a perfect guest star? .

How do you know when you're having a bad day? >> My thought patterns are the first indication, because I get real self-punishing and defeatist and borderline-to-full-suicidal real quick. It's a pretty dramatic shift. Also my executive function goes entirely out the window instead of just, you know, straddling the windowpane and threatening to jump.

Where is a terrible place to fall asleep? >> Any of the brown line trains, they're just terrible for that. You don't want to try to sleep on a (J) or something, like, that's just silly. I was always partial to the orange line, the (F) especially. (D) can be pretty good too since it turns local at night. Blue lines are a safe bet too. Didn't care for the (E) much but (A), sure, can get some good ZZZs on an (A).

What would constitute a bad neighbor? >> So many things crowded into my brain at once, where do I even begin. I think I'm just particular. How do you think you'll celebrate your 100th birthday? >> I don't know what kind of person I will be at 100 (to say nothing of what kind of world this will be in 2087...), so I really couldn't say. Which television family is most like your own family? >> Imagine one of those Black family sitcoms like The Bernie Mac Show or Everybody Hates Chris but there's no laugh track when they casually joke about beating their kids etc. Also it has to be on HBO because it's not actually suitable for "family" audiences.

What would make you turn off the TV immediately? >> Being bored by whatever is playing on it. It's hard to pinpoint a specific thing that would bore me, it's generally more an overall vibe than anything else. What would significantly change the mood right now? >> Oh, you know. Pretty much anything, to be honest.

What is the most impressive thing you can make? .

How are you planning on changing your life for the better? >> I'm not planning on that at all.

What is the most creative thing you have done recently? >> Whoof...

When is having very little of something actually a good thing? >> Hmm. What do you wish took a shorter amount of time to accomplish? >> Downloading. It's 2024 and I'm still letting game downloads run overnight while I sleep because they take so goddamn long. The latest BG3 patch is going to be my villain origin story when it finally drops. If your birthday became a national holiday, how would you celebrate it? >> It sometimes is a national holiday, but I cannot convey how much I hate sharing my birthday with Memorial Day of all things. I wouldn't want my birthday as such to be a holiday, though. My birthday is for me and people who specifically know and want to celebrate me. Also, I don't want to be associated with this nation.

What is something five out of five doctors can agree on? >> Lab coats rule.

What would be a strange gift to give at a baby shower? . What is a terrible thing to stuff a turkey with on Thanksgiving? >> Anything, I hate that people stuff the turkey. Soggy stuffing is the worst.

What inexpensive thing would you love to receive as a present? >> I mean, a lot of things. There are a lot of inexpensive things in the world that I like.

If Columbus discovered today's America, what might cause him to go back on his ship and sail away? .

What is a terrible excuse for forgetting a loved one's birthday? >> I took this literally at first and was like, "well, forgetting is largely involuntary, people don't forget on purpose, so...???" but I think "forgetting" is being used loosely here, to mean something more like "not acknowledging/overlooking" which could be for any number of reasons, including "I just didn't feel like putting any effort into acknowledging it", which, well, isn't great for a relationship. So, yeah, I guess that.

If you had to give the same gift to everyone on your holiday list, what would you give? .

What celebrity doesn't need a Halloween mask to look scary? >> That is a bit meaner than I'd prefer to be about people's appearances. Upon blowing out the candles on your next birthday cake, what will you wish for? .

What present would you immediately re-gift? >> I can't think of anything but overall I am pro-regifting.

If you could put a stop to one holiday tradition, what would it be? >> Fireworks. 100% What do you have an abundance of and could share with others? .

What information should not be communicated through text? .

What would you most like to find when going through your bag of Halloween treats? .

What have you done that would put you on Santa's naughty list? >> I am permanently on Santa's naughty list for the crime of wanting to bone him. If you could interview the devil, what would be your first question? >> "Doin anything tonight? 😏"

What kind of pet could someone have that would make you think that person is crazy? . What road sign do you wish existed? >> If I was wittier I would have had a ball with some of these questions but my mind just doesn't work that way 98% of the time, RIP.

What activity can you do for a long time without being bored? >> Playing my favourite video games. What is the saddest way you could spend Valentine’s Day? .
