All interview questions for Eliseo
Eliseo replies and turns to his mun with concern.
- What is your Full name? Include any maiden names, aliases, or nicknames. Eliseo Matteo Lee, I usually go by Eli for close friends and family members
- When is your birthday? Do you know where you were born and at what time? April 17, 1982, I was born in Italy, province Bari.
- What is your star sign? Do you know your Chinese Zodiac too? I believe that I am an Aries and my Chinese Zodiac is the dog
- What is your earliest memory that you can remember? I remembered the summer of 1986 in Bari my father taught me how to catch my first fish, best summer day spent that year.
- Where was your childhood home? Was it more urban or rural? With the buildings and such, it was kind of a cross in between, but it is more urban than it would be rural. We had not much land and hour home was like a townhouse type of deal, but it was beautifully set cliff side to look over the ocean 
- How was your childhood in general? Did your parents treat you well? Did you have a lot of friends? I had a very fulfilling childhood until I reached the year of our accident, my parents were the most loving and understanding couple you could meet, they would always greet you with open arms and warmth. I did have some friends but they all left my side when I became blind and then I ended up moving to Korea and basically no one befriends me, perhaps because they can only pity me so much.
- How was/is school? What is your favorite and least favorite subjects? What were your grades on average? School was a blast in the elementary years, then high school and university was just a horrible freak show, I never thought that the smallest thing on this earth would be human kindness but what else could I expect. Least favorite subject were the sciences and my most favorite was mathematics. My grades are above average, not exceptional.
- Did you have a best friend growing up? What was their name? Are you still in touch? I had a friend named Dario, he was close to me for a very long while but when we moved on to grade 11 he had moved to another province in Italy. In general I have lost contact with him.
- Were you in any cliques? No.
- Best childhood memory you can recall? Being told that was going to be a big brother, when my mother was pregnant with her third child.
- Worst childhood memory you can recall? I do not know what was worse, being told that my eye sight will get worse and possibly permanently gone or the fact that my mother died in the accident along with my sibling inside of her. Both had me devastated.
- Name an event in your childhood that has shaped you into the person you are today. I became a spokesperson for people against drunk driving due to my accident. I am the outcome of this circumstance, but due to this I learn there are many more values in life that we must cherish,  and these things are crucial. Things cannot be taken for granted and that with whatever is happening around us, do not forget to be thankful for everything we have already.
- What is the dumbest thing you have ever done to impress someone? Were they impressed or was it all for naught?I have never shown off or have done anything to get people to fancy me. I don’t work that way.
- Did you ever have any sweethearts or lovers? Do you have a boy/girlfriend? I liked a girl back in grade 5 but I was a naive kid, what did I know about love? But no, I have never dated anyone, I have never held hands with anyone in that romantic manner either.
- Are you a virgin? Considerably yes? (to be discussed lol)
- Do you ever plan on getting married in your life? Do you want kids? Oh yes I am growing older, I do want to settle very much and I would love to have kids, I just adore them.. but  I fear of being a burden t my spouse and my children so I distance myself a lot
- Would you rather have your own kids or adopt? How many kids would you want? Adopt or not they will be loved and cherished as my kids, and they will have the highest quality of life. I would prefer one girl and one boy, but if nature happens, it happens.
- Do you think you'd be a protective parent or a relaxed parent? I think I am a good healthy in between, I do not like spoiled kids but I do not believe emotionally scarred kids are good either, I like to balance out my love and my discipline for the.
- How would you prefer to pass away? Surrounded by loved ones and at peace, or while doing something heroic? I would prefer to die with loved ones around me but dying at least feeling I did my best for the world around me.
- Generally, how healthy are you? Do you get sick or injured easily or are you fit? I have physiotherapy to help me, I am not healthy 100% but I am not too ill, I have respiratory issues and sometimes my legs could give out but I am doing my best on working out
- Have you ever been badly injured before? Yes.
- What is the worst injury you have ever gotten? What was it and how did it happen? Were you ever close to death? Like I said my blindness is part of my injuries, alongside with broken ribs and slight internal trauma. A drunk truck driver has slammed into our family car, my mother passed, my father fell unconscious I sparred my sister with her only having a broken arm and I have suffered head trauma and such.

- How persistent would you say you are? How much does it take to get you to give up on a task? I will push as mush as I can to get the results I want, I am not rude about it but i don’t believe in early give ups. To get me to stop early is to pretty much hurt me with you saying no.

- Do you have any religious beliefs? If not, have you ever been to a church service?  I am catholic by birth, I had beliefs but now I thinks its all bologna and just stupid
- What would you say is the worst thing someone has done to you? What is the meanest thing someone has ever said to you? Lie to me about their feelings towards me? like my hopes were brought up really high when I hear that someone is interested in me but just the next day it waivers.
- What is the worst thing you have done to someone? What is the meanest thing you have said to anyone? Reciprocate feelings? I would never do anything physically to hurt someone but sometimes my words and thoughts can be harsh

- What is the most precious thing you own? Is it valuable at all? A pendant left by my mother, the only thing of her that I have brought with me from the beginning and now until my end.
- Talk about someone you know. It can be someone you either like or dislike. My mother, I can start that she is the most beautiful woman I had in my life (besides my sister) and I an not talking about just her visuals, her heart was like a bucket of warm gold, she worked hard and shared every moment she had with those around her. Despite her not having enough things for herself she always made sure her neighbors would always have a share too. My mother is intelligent, strong, courageous. She may not be the prettiest of women to some people but she is my mom.. and no one else could replace her from my heart and mind.

10/13/2017 – No Contact:  Everyone is a Little Racist
Current time. 11:50.  I just woke up from a series of naps.  Two, so I guess that’s a series.  But let me tell you about the dream I had.
I was living in this weird apartment complex.  It began with me walking around and visiting with neighbors and these two Chinese ladies.  One was older and one was a bit younger (a daughter).  They made it clear that they were into some shady shit.  They asked if they could use my car for this shady shit and I tell them no.  After that, I went along and eventually came back to find an older version of an old roommate’s youngest son (long story there) laying on a bed inside the apartment.  It’s important to note it was Halloween and he was upset about something.  I offered the support as best I could but eventually left.  I was very social and there was this cute girl I was hitting on.
The conversation with said cute girl ended in me remembering, I forgot something in my car.  I go to it and it’s not my silver Dodge but an old, blue station wagon.  Kind of a short one if compared to other station wagons.  Hard to explain.  Anyways, I discover the two Chinese ladies STEALING my car.  And I say, “...um… can I help you?”  They said yes and heavily implied that if I didn’t let them something bad would happen.  I was like, “Okay, I guess I’ll call the police when you’re done...”
Except I couldn’t.  They forced me into the station wagon and I sat in the back seat as they loaded stuff into the very back.  I tried not to look directly at it but it looked like drugs disguised as Chinese food.  I was hoping they’d drive by my apartment and the girl I was talking to would see I was being taken hostage, but no.  They made their way out of there almost immediately.
Anyways, the older one drove and she spoke like Maria.  Broken, barely spoken English.  The younger spoke a bit more but was still really bad.  We went through the mountains, where there was a lot of snow.  The older one became nervous like she’s never driven in the snow before. Upon coming down from a summit, she parked on the side of a road in a TURNING lane and ran across to the other side for something.  As she did, a truck lost control and almost hit her.
I don’t know what she did but when she came back I offered them both to drive for them.  Because GEEZUZ!!!  The dude who was in the truck came up wanting to trade information.  The car wasn’t touched so I told him, “Listen, not my problem.  Try to get information from her, the person you almost hit.”  He complained because we parked in the parking lane but eventually started speaking to the older lady about it.  They sorted everything out and we started driving again.
That’s all I remember.  Wasn’t that dramatic of a dream, but I think it’d be an effective comedy.  KIND OF RACIST, I know.  Especially since I’ve been talking about Asians a lot lately.  Normally, I don’t include race in my stories.  For example, my old roommate’s youngest son?  He’s half black, half Mexican.  I didn’t include that at all.  Most of my stories with blacks don’t mention their color.  One of the girls I was hitting on a while back over Facebook? She was black.  Why do I mention Asians when their race doesn’t matter?
I guess Asians sort of get overlooked.  Don’t get me wrong, they are still targets for racism because EVERYONE is a little racist (myself included).  However, they weren’t really targeted by All Lives Matters and people like that.  Why would they be?  The Asians I know tend to be on top of things.  And they’re RIDICULOUSLY talented. Like… fucking hell, that’s their racism trait.  Being good at most everything they do.  Except driving, apparently.
I’m not sure that’s true, either.  Unless they drive a Chevy.  Now that I think about it, blacks and whites were the ones involved in all the car accidents I’ve seen in person.  One case, I saw one get rear ended by this stoner dude.  The stoner was white and they were a black couple.  With the exception of that one waiter we had, I don’t really know too many Asians who have actually been in car accidents.
Doesn’t mean you’re a safe driver if you’ve never been in an accident, of course.  Still, just something I’ve noticed.  I think Mexicans are bad drivers.  I look at ALL my cousins as references.  Some of them have been in car accidents, too!  Thing is, they were in car accidents in… Mexico.  So, both sides were Mexican.  Drivers in Mexico are just… crazy.
Whatever. Now, what am I going to do.  Currently 12:15.  I wanted to do something before the naps but I fell asleep watching Game Grumps. Probably food.  I grabbed a dragon fruit for Adela to try but she doesn’t want to try it.  She has to open up sometime.  >:C
I didn’t do my sets yesterday or the day before.  I’ll do it today, though.  I MIGHT cook myself some eggs.  Or I might make a sandwich… an egg sandwich?  I don’t know.  I’m hungry.  I want food.  But what food? I don’t want sweet, food.  I have enough fruit for it, to be sure.  I guess I’ll make myself something with peas, actually.  That’s not a bad idea.  Then I’ll finish watching the video I fell asleep on from about where I fell asleep. And I’ll have a fruit.  Which fruit? ANY FRUIT!!!
Anyways, I’ll be on later.  Maybe.  I have an update unfortunately.  I hate updates…  Bah, it’ll be fine.  Later.
I don’t think I’m going to be a vegetarian much longer.  I’d. Fucking.  MURDER.  For a god damn burger right now.  x.x  Like… I think sometime next year I’ll get a burger from Whataburger.  Only in a few months.  I’ll try to hold out as long as possible… but no promises.  Might do what you do.  Claim to be vegetarian but still eat meat.  ;)
Kidding.  Sort of.  I MIGHT start eating fish.  Then turkey.  And eventually work my way back into beef and ham.  I just ate.  Had a peach and, as opposed to everything in the god damn HEB, it wasn’t on the verge of rotting.  Seriously, they need to work on their god damn stocking.  Like, only one avocado was edible last time I was there.  Disgusting.
Whatever. If you want them to be stocked, go early.  I’m going to have the other peach soon.  I feel SO hungry.  x.x
Eh… The food I got was kind of subpar.  I have no onions, tomatoes, or honey mustard.  Didn’t feel like cooking some eggs so I basically made a cheese sandwich with spinach.  Unfortunately, that proved to be not as good as it sounds.  The swiss cheese melted over the spinach and it SEEMED like it’d taste good.  So good.  The best even. Thing is, the spinach sort of canceled out the savory swiss.  It felt… empty.  And I grabbed a peach too.  That peach was ripe, but it was… eh.  Not as good as the other.  Just disappointing.  Filling?  Not really.  I have some spinach left but I’m saving that for an egg sandwich tomorrow.  I have ketchup and my three spices.  Seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Put that shit in anything you cook and it’ll be grand.  Remember the mashed potatoes?  I sometimes put onions in it but you LOVED it. We should have mashed potatoes if you come out.
Ah, I just remembered.  It’s not seasoned salt I have but that pink Himalayan salt.  It’s… alright, but I have to twist the thing and that makes it harder to guesstimate the amount.  Oh, guesstimate is a word apparently.  More proof that English is fucking dumb.
Anyways, put that in the eggs, add ketchup, and I’ll have a GREAT breakfast.
You know, I got the eggs for three reasons.  Firstly, it’s not meat. Second, I saw a picture where you cooked me breakfast.  I posted it on Facebook and titled it the perfect breakfast.  It was eggs and pop tarts.  People gave me crap because it’s so simple and I said it wasn’t the food but the who.  You made that breakfast perfect. Finally, I want to try some of those egg rituals my witch friend suggested.  Turns out, the chants DON’T have to be religious to work.  So I could say, “No Pasaran” or even “I have nothing to lose but my chains” or whatever and it’d still work.  That’s some good news.
As for disposing, if it’s a protection spell, we bury it.  If it’s detecting negative energy, we pour it in a river and be on our way. I THINK Adela has a septic tank.  I’m not sure about the sewers in Houston.  So, we COULD flush it but until we know for sure, I’m not doing that with the eggs.
Apparently, you can also use potatoes for spells.  Magic is weird.  If this had happened a few months ago, then I would have been like, “Lol, magic is dumb and you’re dumb.”  However, I feel there is more to it than that now.  I’ve learned a lot from her.  Been taking notes.  I might use it for writing.  I probably won’t, unfortunately.  I have so much planned but so little time.  :c
Eh… I want a burger.  So badly.  I want to make an egg sandwich but… I won’t.  Ah, well.  Current supply in the fridge and pantry for ME to eat (Adela’s food is off limits) consists of the dragon fruit, three apples, a bottle of ketchup, almond milk, a single and final serving of spinach, half a loaf of bread, a can of peas and carrots, a can of corn, various cheeses, and 16 eggs.  We’ll go shopping sometime on the weekend.  I’ll be fine.
The rough estimate for my food is 60-80 dollars.  Per week, that would be 240-320 dollars a month.  Not including rent, I estimate my cost of living is about 800 dollars per month.  That means if I got a part time job at Starbucks, I should be fine.  Might be saving.  After this next week, I’ll apply for other jobs.  However, I’ll actually go in when Adela takes Max to the groomers.  I won’t have to try to get him in a cage or anything.  Today, I’ll call. Hopefully at about 11 and let them know what’s up.  I’ll talk to the manager and introduce myself.  Let them know that I’m interested in a job there.
I’ll get a job.  Then I’ll brag about it.  It’ll be great.  Oh, and I could perhaps save money because I won’t have to eat here. Probably won’t eat out that much.  I don’t know.  If it’s like Dunkin, I’ll be fine unless they make me work mornings.  I SUCK at mornings.
When I worked nights at Dunkin (better than mornings) I usually slept when I got back.  Mornings?  I had to wake up immediately.  I had the sunrise to wake me up.  Problem is, I worked BEFORE sunrise and my alarm was unreliable.
Honestly… I loved working at Dunkin.  It had it’s moments where it sucked, but it was pretty fun.  They gave me free coffee and tea.  I hope they do that at Starbucks too.  Maybe discounted food.  Burgers. Drool
I mean… whatever.
I just realized that the money you’re using to buy pot?  You got that from selling your super prized computer.  Oof.  You sold everything for all of this.  In the end?  At least you’re a little high.
Sarcasm.  I’m suddenly more concerned.  Please tell me you’ll stop spending on such trivial bullshit.  Fucking pot is not worth the money.  :/ Whatever.  You won’t tell me that, even if you were talking to me.  You’re stubborn.  You get told to do one thing and you’ll do the opposite.  Human nature… don’t know why.  My dad used to have this small outhouse thing that was assembled by all these parts and had a mouse trap in it.  The mouse trap connected to the door.  When you opened th door to this little outhouse, it’d explode.  He LOVED it.  He put a little sign on front that said, “Don’t Open” because he understood people don’t listen to signs.  He got so many people with that fucking door. I want one.  I think I can find one on the internet.
I’ll call my dad tomorrow too, maybe.  I really should.  Anyways, I’m going to bed.  Talk to you when I wake up.  Alarm set for 10am. Going to call Starbucks at 11.  ;)
Before I go!  I asked my witch friend what the deal with brooms are. Apparently, they can clean up negative energy!  And brooms you make yourself has a connection and cleans energy better or something.  And it can determine people visiting and you put it upside down, it’ll prevent people from coming and if they do come then they’ll leave sooner.  And you can bless your vacuum to clean up negative energies. Just gotta empty it and take out the garbage IMMEDIATELY.  And apparently you can bless ROOMBA!!!  ROOMBA CAN COLLECT NEGATIVE ENERGY!!!  OMFG ROOMBA, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!!  SAVE THIS HOUSE OF OURS!!!
Sorry.  Sleeping now.  Later.
Current time is seven in the morning… I’m so restless.  I hate it.  I think any optimism and positivity is fading.  I might return to my grumpy annoyed self, which is a shame.  Computer is mandatory restarting today.  I FUCKING hate that.  I have to save EVERYTHING. For what?  What update could I possibly need?
My dream was nice last night.  Very… arousing.  You were in it of course.  It ended with us skinny dipping.  In my dreams, you’re always so affectionate.  I miss that.  :/
Anyways… I realized that you blocking me wasn’t to start any drama.  You probably felt I was trying to show you how good everything was here. Try and convince you somehow.  I was posting a lot of pictures of Max.  Still do, mind you, but you don’t need that reminder.  You felt that I was trying to communicate with you through Facebook.  Not my intention.  Otherwise, I’d have to go back and change no contact days to limited contact.
Surprised you noticed. Alternatively, you could have just turned off my posts so you didn’t have to see them.  Idea probably didn’t occur to you.  Or maybe you wanted to send a message.  Unfortunately, that message would be open to interpretation.  If you read this, you’ll see I didn’t get the memo.  At least, probably not the one you mentioned.
I didn’t call Starbucks today.  Woke up too late.  I’ll stay up as long as possible and go to bed early.  Try and reset my schedule as best as possible.  I need to do this before Max is taken to the groomers.  I’ll get it figured out.  So tired though.
I need to message Shane.  See if he’s alright.  Might be the food he’s been eating.  :/
He’s okay.  Whatever he had passed.  I’m glad to hear.  Could have been something far worse.  However, I still believe he should go to the doctor’s but I won’t push it.  If I were inflicted with something similar and it went away, I wouldn’t want to go to the doctor’s either.  Literally, fuck American healthcare.  Nothing but bad times. -,-
So… It’s currently 6:20.  I bought a girl some food.  She’s the sort who normally says no.  I expected her to say no.  She said yes.  So, I ordered her a pizza.  She is one of the girls I’ve been flirting with.
The thought crossed my head that “What if she’s using me?” but then I came to the conclusion that, again, she’ not the type who’d say yes normally.  She’s pretty introverted.  Spends most her days working and going to class.  If I go back to visit, I’ll have to stop by and say hi to her in person.  There are some stories with her.  I’ll have to share them sometime with you.
