Saturday, August 9th, 2025.

When was the last time you complained about something? I complained about unwanted thoughts earlier today.

What is your favorite color combination? I'm actually not sure. We have to color coordinate blankets and such for the kennels at the animal shelter, but I like a lot of different combinations.

Is there a certain routine you have to/like to follow? My whole life is like an ongoing routine, and I don't like to deviate from it too much.

When was the last time you spoke in front of a group? I don't remember the last time I spoke in front of a group, but the last time I was "recognized" in front of a large group of people was at the recent fundraising event. I was one of three volunteers to be mentioned.

Do you like group projects, or do you prefer to work alone? I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore and no longer have to deal with those types of group projects. I do often enjoy working in a group, though, such as in cattery.

What is one thing you hate about society today? Blah.

What is something not many people know about you? Most people don't know very much about me.

What word describes your basic style? Comfortable.

How long did it take you to develop this particular style? It wasn't necessarily something I actively developed as much as evolved into naturally…?

Are you tolerant of beliefs that differ from your own? Depends.

Have you ever been told you were going to Hell? I've probably been told to "go to Hell," but I don't think anyone has ever told me I was going to Hell. Not seriously or religiously, anyway. But maybe as a joke.

How did you respond? Hmm.

Is there a religion you are curious about? The one that I'm probably most curious about is Judaism. I imagine my dad's influence has a lot to do with that. Otherwise, I'm just interested in religions in general. One of my favorite YouTube channels to watch is Let's Talk Religion. He covers a variety of different religious beliefs, cultures, etc.

Who is the most argumentative person you know? I don't know anyone who is super argumentative…not with me, anyway.

Do you know anyone who is crazy about proper grammar? No.

Or are you one of those people? If so, why? I try to use mostly proper grammar, but I'm not overly picky about it. I'll add my own little flare if it feels right.

Do you assume things about other people? Give an example? Sure. We probably all make assumptions or extrapolations to some extent.

Describe a crazy hairstyle you have seen? Not really "crazy," but Kristen always has cool hair. Paris, a previous vet tech, often had interesting hair too (mainly in terms of color).

Do you mind waiting in waiting rooms? It can be anxiety-provoking, but I don't mind sitting in the waiting room at my therapist's office.

When was the last time you were late for something? Idk.

When was the last time it was cold in your area? It hasn't been cold for months now.

Do you know a word in another language? What is it? Yeah.

Who was the last person to make you feel special? My dad.

Have you ever wanted to kill yourself? Mmhm. The desire is still there, even though it's more like background noise than anything immediate.

If yes, what convinced you not to go through with it? Starvation is a slow and unreliable method. It's a constant struggle between the desire to die and the body's attempts to keep itself alive. Time passed, things changed, wounds faded; I found a good therapist, I found a sense of purpose as well as some level of hope and happiness. Ending my life no longer feels like such a pressing desperation.

Do you get used to answering personal questions on surveys? I guess I have. I reveal things in surveys that I probably wouldn't tell anyone other than my dad or my therapist.

Do you think that being gay is a choice? No. I don't think people choose who they're attracted to. Just speaking for myself, but my attractions are just kind of…there.

Do you eat meat? Why or why not? I do. Especially now with my gluten issues, I think being vegetarian or vegan would greatly limit my options. I know people can make it work, but I'm just not interested or willing to do so. I like eating meat, etc.

Do you think you look attractive in your profile default picture? My icon isn't a picture of me.

Do you fish for compliments? Do you fish for anything else? There is something of that ulterior motive in some of the nice things I do for others, but there's probably a genuine element to it as well…idk.

[cryptidsurveys]

Saturday, August 9th, 2025.

What is your favorite color for bridesmaid dresses? Burgundy, gold, and pine.

Do you ever count sheep to help you fall asleep? I've probably tried that at some point, but if I do any counting, then it's usually something like 1-2, 3-4 or 1-2, sleep-sleep just on repeat until I get lost in my thoughts or whatever video is playing.

Do you have a youtube channel? I have a YouTube account, but I don't upload or make any comments.

…If so, when did you start it? Probably around the time I switched from a laptop to a desktop computer and started using my phone more frequently for YouTube stuff, so 2021-ish.

Would you ever want to be famous? There is something appealing about being well-known and admired for something, but I also value my privacy and the lack of scrutiny, as well as the absence of any obligations to please my fans or continue to produce whatever made me famous in the first place.

Does fame and fortune matter to you at all? I don't care about being filthy rich, but having enough money to meet my needs matters to me. I also wouldn't mind being able to do more than just that, to be able to afford my dream home in the mountains, etc.

Do you have a secret crush right now? No.

Have you drank a cup of tea today? I haven't.

When was the last time you called customer service? I've never personally called customer service for anything.

Do you take birth control pills? I don't.

Do you like chocolate cake? Yesss. It's a battle between chocolate cake and carrot cake when it comes to my favorite.

Where was the last place out of your house that you went? The animal shelter. The boulevard heading south was closed due to an accident or construction or something. I was like 2 minutes away from the shelter and I had to turn around. I tried taking a road that I thought might take me through to my familiar "backroads," but it just went around in a loop and I ended up back on the boulevard, so I had to go back to the highway, turn off on the route I now take home from therapy, and wind my way toward the animal shelter that way. It was so weird seeing everything from the opposite direction, lol. I normally take the highway and the boulevard there and the backroads home.

Do you know anyone who doesn’t want to have kids? Riley.

Do you regret letting a certain guy or girl slip away? I regret that I wasn't a good partner and that I wasn't in the right frame of mind to cultivate a healthy relationship. I regret that I hurt someone deeply and destroyed what could have been a positive connection, whether it was romantic or not.

Have you ever fainted? I've been very dizzy, lightheaded, and that sort of thing, but I've never completely lost consciousness.

Do you consider yourself a good artist? I'm not terrible, but I feel like I lack a more refined technique, and I don't really practice enough to improve in any meaningful way.

Do you ever play board games anymore? Not really.

Would you rather visit Tokyo or Paris? Tokyo.

Do you think you would like living in New York or Chicago? Why or why not? Nope. I'm not a city person. I would hate the traffic, hate the urban sprawl, the lack of nature, etc.

Who was your first celebrity crush? Idk.

Name 3 celebrities who are the same height as you. Whoever is 5'3". I don't feel like looking up that information.

How tall are you?

Are you happy with your height? Yeah.

Who in your family did you get your height from? I'm actually not sure. Everyone in my family is taller than I am by at least a few inches. I think my dad's mom was on the shorter side, as is his sister, but I'm not sure about my mom's side of things, so idk.

Who did you get your smile from? I'm not sure, but someone at the fundraising event for the animal shelter commented that I look just like my dad, so there's that general assessment for you.

Your hair color? Probably my mom. My dad's hair is a little more on the darker side.

Your eye color? My mom. My dad's eyes are blue, and my mom's and my eyes are hazel.

Do you have big or small hands? They're…proportional? Not unusually large or small.

When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone? Years ago.

What was the name of your first imaginary friend you remember having? Hmm.

Do you pray to God regularly? I do.

What is your favorite version of the Bible to read? I've never read the full version of any Bible, but I am currently reading a chronological study Bible. I want to get all the way through at least once.

Have you been baptized? If so, how and where were you baptized? I was, but I don't recall how or where.

Do you eat meat? I do.

What college did you go to? A local community college.

And what was your major? I think the first time I went it was English and then when I tried again it was Visual Communications.

Do you miss living with a roommate? I miss Lori and Denise as people, they were great roommates to have back when I was living with my mom, but I don't miss the idea of having roommates. I do live with my dad, but I don't really consider him a "roommate," you know?

Have you ever been abused in any way? Ehh.

Do you like unicorns? They're alright, but I'm not drawn to them or anything.

How old were you when you found out Santa wasn’t real? I was probably around 10 years old.

Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? I don't.

Name 3 things you are allergic to. Pollen, gluten, and making phone calls.

Is there one book you have read over and over again because it’s so good? I've reread a few books.

If so, which is it? I read Watership Down multiple times when I was younger. That was my main obsession. I've also reread the Harry Potter series at least once, some of the books from The Little House on the Prairie series, and various other childhood favorites. I most recently reread Chasing Redbird and My Side of the Mountain, and I'm currently rereading The Neverending Story. Oh, and AT thru-hike books. I can't remember all of their names, but I've reread a few of those as well.

Who was your favorite Rugrats character? Chucky.

Which fairytale resembles your life the most? I don't think any fairytale resembles my life.

What’s your favorite thing to do on your phone? Watch YouTube.

Have you ever had to put out a kitchen fire? No, but I did experience an exploding glass dish. I no longer remember exactly how it happened, but I heard a loud pop in the kitchen at one of our old duplexes, went in there to see what happened, and ended up stepping on a glass shard. Idk whether there was any fire involved or not, but if there was, then it would have been very minimal.

Where do you buy most of your clothes? Walmart, thrift stores, online.

Who is your favorite cousin? I haven't seen my cousins since childhood.

Do you have family that lives in another state? Yeah.

What states have you lived in? Louisiana and Colorado.

List 3 girl’s names you like.

List 3 boy’s names you like.

Do you watch birth vlogs on youtube? No.

Have you ever cried yourself to sleep? Maybe not all the way to sleep, but I have cried while trying to sleep.

Do you use a sunlamp? I don't.

What is your favorite type of cake? Already answered above.

Do you listen to the radio? Mostly just CPR classical while driving.

Thursday, August 7th, 2025.

▹ ARIES ◃

Do you like when people stroke your hair? I don't like it when just anyone plays with my hair, but it is a sensation that I enjoy.

Would you consider yourself a leader? No.

Would people say you are an upbeat person? Most of the people I know would probably say that. My dad sees more sides of me, but even so, I'm usually pretty pleasant. My therapist…I'm not sure exactly what she thinks, but I'm just going to guess that she doesn't assume that my appointment presentation is the way I present myself to the rest of the world. As for surveys, I'm also not sure how I come across.

Are you naturally optimistic? I'm a whole range of different "istics" depending on the circumstances.

When was the last time you had a temper tantrum? Not sure what is viewed as a temper tantrum versus some other type of emotional outburst or breakdown, but eh. Maybe a couple of months ago. Whenever that really rough therapy appointment occurred.

Would you consider yourself an activist? Not at all.

How often do you lose interest in your goals? Idk. I'm still dedicated to my future at the animal shelter even though I go through periods of highs and lows. I'm still "somewhat" consistent with art even though it has been pushed more to the back burner and I feel like I'm doing it more out of obligation, just to say I have something of a hobby, than because of any creative motivation or expression. With certain other things, sometimes I waver or stray, but I will eventually recommit if it's something truly important to me.

On a scale of 1-10 how important is your independence to you? It's hard to put this on a scale, but I'm not a very independent person overall. However, I do value the things that grant me more independence - such as driving, being able to go to the animal shelter by myself, the chance to make some of my own choices, etc. I do like to feel as though I have some control. It's also important that I become more independent, but that's a battle against fear and procrastination.

How often do you think before you speak? Depends on the situation. Sometimes I don't really need to measure my words. Sometimes I'd rather not speak than say something controversial or upsetting. There are times when I wish I could speak up, but I'm afraid, I don't know how to word it appropriately, and that sort of thing. And sometimes I just blurt things out impulsively regardless of how they will come across, but that's less common.

Are you straight-forward when it comes to sex? Idk… Like I'm not asexual or sex-repulsed, but it's hard to truly imagine ever being that intimate with someone again.

▹ TAURUS ◃

Do you tend to stick with what you know? Yeah, for the most part. Sometimes I can branch out as an extension of something I already know (foods, tasks at the shelter, driving to a small extent, etc), but really breaking out of my comfort zone takes more of a leap of faith.

Are you usually the one to pay attention to details? I'm either picking up on details or I'm overlooking and forgetting them.

Do you prefer to do things on your own? I am okay with doing certain things on my own, but like I said above, I'm not especially independent. Now, if we're just talking about preferring people versus no people, then it depends. For instance, I do enjoy doing cat iso by myself, but I also enjoy spending time with the cattery group. I'd probably eventually get lonely and bored if I ONLY did cat iso ALL the time.

Are you a strong business person? No. I have basically no business experience.

Do you like to live lavishly? No. I just want to live simply and comfortably.

Do you have a stubborn side? I can be somewhat rigid and routine oriented, and I'm somewhat stubborn in other ways as well.

Do you tend to become nervous when you know change is inevitable? Lol, I feel like so many of these questions boil down to "it depends," but yeah, nervousness is common.

Is commitment no problem for you? Commitment might be a problem for me in the sense that I sometimes commit to things when I would prefer to say no. Most recently, I'm committed to remaining gluten free because it's an easy choice between avoiding certain foods or shittin me wee little brains oot.

Are you a patient person when it comes to relationships? Connecting with (or being connected to) others is a whole ordeal. I try to just ride out the emotions and not do anything impulsive or drastic, but it's not always easy.

Are the neck and throat a hot-spot when it comes to romance for you? It's not my top hot spot, but it's still nice.

▹ GEMINI ◃

Would you say you are a person most people remember meeting? I don't know whether "most people" remember me or not.

Are you a flighty person? Maybe a contained or controlled flighty person.

Would you say that you are an exciting friend to have? Nooo. I'm a very boring friend…if you can even manage to get me to hang out in the first place.

Are you experimental in the bedroom? Yeah.

Do you love to talk? Sometimes. The problem, with some people, is knowing what to say.

Are you a curious person? Depends on the topic. I was actually thinking on the drive home earlier that I can be somewhat incurious when it comes to other people, but there are definitely subjects that spark my wonder and curiosity.

Would you rather be naive than to know a depressing truth? Depressing truths such as broader world issues, etc? Idc. I'm not necessarily naive, but I am relatively detached.

How often do you speak your mind? Often with my dad and my therapist, less so with pretty much everyone else.

Would you say you are a social butterfly? Okay, it's like…I enjoy being social, but I don't enjoy feeling bogged down or trapped by people who don't feel quite "right" for me. It's a balance between forming connections and feeling enriched by certain aspects of them, but also feeling drained or alienated. However, as I've said many times, it's not anyone else's fault, they aren't doing anything wrong; it's just something that I have to work though within myself.

Do you feel the need to be involved in everything? Yes and no. FOMO + jealousy and envy are a thing, but sometimes I just do not wanna. Even if it means missing out, staying on the fringes while others grow closer, etc.

▹ CANCER ◃

Is your personality full of contradictions? What would possibly give you that impression?

Do you depend a lot on others for support? Mainly my dad and my therapist.

How loyal are you to your friends and family? I'm very loyal to my dad.

Are you able to make others feel loved easily? You would have to ask them. I'm not really sure how I make others feel.

Do you tend to bottle up your deep feelings for others? Do you mean hide how I'm feeling ABOUT someone or hide what I'm feeling FROM someone? I am likely to hide my emotions from most people, but if I feel deeply FOR someone, then it's not likely that I will feel the need to hide that from them.

Is money and financial success important to you? In some ways.

Do you feel you need to be needed? I do love to feel needed, especially at the animal shelter, but there are times when it can become burdensome, make me feel trapped, etc.

Do you like when people are direct with you? Sure.

Do you prefer your sex to be sensual and passionate? Yeah.

Are you in tune with other people’s personal motivations? Not really.

▹ LEO ◃

How ambitious are you? I'm not super ambitious.

Are you the person people go to when they need cheering up? Not really.

Are people attracted to your warm spirit? I have no idea what people are attracted to with me.

Do you find it strange when people dwell on the past? No.

Are you often successful in business? No.

Do you always have to have the best? No.

Do routines bore you? I prefer predictable routines. I don't like to change things up too much or too often.

Do you love flattery? Err…I love genuine compliments, but empty flattery, not so much.

Do you like your intimate moments to be familiar, but not routine? Hmm.

Do you like to be pampered? Sometimes.

▹ VIRGO ◃

Do you solve problems logically? Not always.

Do people often find you cold and unattached? They might find me a bit hard to get to know, but I don't think anyone would say I'm cold.

Do you have an excellent memory? Naw.

Are you good at problem solving? Eh.

Do you successfully help others solve their disputes? I'm not usually the mediator for that sort of thing.

Do you analyze all the facts before making decisions? Depends on the decision and how much analyzing I feel like it requires.

Are you unpredictable? Not really.

Do you keep your surroundings organized? Sorta, sometimes.

Would you ever engage in a one-night-stand? No.

Is sex low in importance to you? Idk what sex is to me now.

▹ LIBRA ◃

Do you prefer to hang out in groups? Small groups. If I'm not super close to them, then I prefer that over one-on-one interactions because I'm no good at maintaining conversations.

Do you dislike hard work? I don't mind certain kinds of hard work.

Do you love the unusual? Sometimes.

Do you get along with people well? For the most part.

Are you good at thinking up original ideas? Naw. I'm really not.

Do you trust your intuition? Not often. It's far too clouded by fear and emotion to be trustworthy. But if I really thought something was off about a person or a situation, then I would probably listen to it.

Do you tend to hide your feelings to keep peace among a group? Yes.

Do you have difficulties making decisions? I think I struggle most with social decisions or decisions that involve other people in some way. Otherwise, I think I'm okay at making decisions for the most part.

Are you easygoing? Usually-ish.

Do you prefer ‘classy’ sex? Ex: No bathroom stall sex? Uh, I wouldn't have bathroom stall "public" encounters, but I don't need it to be classy. Dirty is fine.

▹ SCORPIO ◃

Are you one to never give up? No. I've given up many times. But I guess I've never completely given up because I'm still here.

Do you prefer to live alone? I like living with my dad, so I prefer that; but between living alone or living with a roommate, I would rather live alone.

Are you always the one who is in control? No. I do like to have some control, but I don't need to be in control of all things all the time.

Are your relationships always complicated? They were.

Do you often hold grudges? Occasionally.

Do you prefer to be in a position of power? Not really.

Are you always worrying about competitors? I gotta realize that I'm not competing with anyone. It's probably all in my head.

Has anyone ever accused you of being power hungry or controlling? Controlling, probably. Power hungry, no.

Do people consider you a deep and intense person? Some might.

Are you one to often act out a sexual fantasy? Hmm.

▹ SAGITTARIUS ◃

Do you welcome change? If it's a change I'm comfortable with…yeah…but even certain positive or forward changes are scary because they require more from me than my previous mode of existence.

Do you make decisions by judging how much freedom you would have? It's one of the main reasons I haven't applied at the animal shelter yet. I value my volunteer freedom to leave whenever I want. Except I still usually stick to something of a schedule. It's just this psychological weight off of my shoulders to know I'm not obligated by employment to be there.

Are you philosophical? I can be.

Would people say you are an excellent conversionalist? Lol my dad might say that, and I can talk a lot in therapy, but otherwise, I doubt anyone would list that as one of my strong points.

Are you often late to things? Nooo. Early.

Do you become irritable when you are bored? Maybe restless more so than irritable.

Are you pretty unemotional? No. I'm emotional. Or at least animated. I save most of my deep emotions or thoughts for select individuals.

Do you mostly have a positive disposition? I guess so, at least outwardly.

Would you be into risque sexual encounters? No.

Do you prefer no-strings-attached sex? No.

▹ CAPRICORN ◃

Do you know generally what your capabilities are? I think I have a good grasp of my current capabilities, but I'm not so certain when it comes to my ultimate potential. Like, how hard should I push myself, etc.

Do you tend to do things yourself because you don’t trust others to finish things? No. Sometimes I like the space to do things my own way, but I trust others to do things as well.

Are you always interested in being the best you can be? Not always. Sometimes I'm a half-asser, sometimes I stagnate, but I want to keep improving overall.

Do you have great time management skills? I guess they're alright. Well, good at the shelter, maybe not as good at home…

Do you prefer to stick to a routine? Yeah.

If someone was to give you a gift, would you prefer it to be practical over expensive? Mmhm.

Does it bother you when someone is late to meet you? It can.

Do you prefer to be in classy atmospheres? Eh.

Are you a conventional person? No.

Is life black and white? No.

▹ AQUARIUS ◃

Do you go out of your way to help others? Sometimes.

Do you live a no-strings-attached life? No.

Do you tend to rebel, just to have your way? No.

How observant would you say you are? Depends.

Are you intellectually driven? Eh.

Would others say that you are witty? Maybe sometimes.

Do you quickly adapt to any situation? No, but I am at least somewhat adaptable…as long as I'm not already majorly stressed, tired, or whatever.

Do you often unintentionally insult people? No.

Do you generally accept everyone as they are? Yeah, generally.

Do you prefer spontaneous sex? That's fine.

▹ PISCES ◃

Are you often the submissive one in your relationships? I guess I do prefer a more submissive role, but not a powerless role.

Do you often take other’s problems and make it your own? It's more like I make the behavior of others my problem. I dwell on it, etc. I don't tend to take on the troubles of others in a big way, but that doesn't mean I can't be moved by what someone is going through.

Are you good at writing or poetry? Eh.

Are you a mystical/spiritual person? Yeah.

Would you say you are mostly molded by your surroundings? More like I have a tendency to mold myself to fit my surroundings. But I can also mold or be molded. Positive molding is okay - I feel like the animal shelter has molded me into a better, stronger person. But I also appreciate situations in which I don't have to change or contort myself to fit. I can just be, as I am, without pressure.

Is your intuition often right? Lol.

Would you say that you often have bad luck and misfortune? No.

Do you like to role play during sex? Yeah.

Do you like erotic games? Maybe.

Do you often stand up for what you believe in? Nope.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2025.

Well, how’s your view of things today? Therapy tends to reveal the true extent of my overwhelm, but other than that I'm feeling pretty…typical.

Robert Downey Jr. — Bet you have a crush on him. I don't.

How do you like your jeans? Somewhere between skinny and bootcut. Gotta have a bit of bagginess to them without being regular jeans.

Do you watch Skins? No.

Know any Gleeks? (yourself included) I've never watched Glee, but at least a couple of people at the animal shelter have mentioned it.

Can you name all the contents of your purse/bag? On an animal shelter day: wallet, gum, granola bars (possibly some other snacks), migraine meds, phone, water bottle, Gatorade (the blue kind), a book (currently The Neverending Story), toiletries, and I think that's basically it.

Do you know what Bosco Sticks are? Thanks to the previous survey-taker, I know that they're some type of food product, but other than that, no.

How do you feel about Jesse Eisenberg? I don't even know who that is.

Do you like your hoodies tight, or a lil’ oversized? Waaay oversized.

Have you ever been sailing? I haven't.

Do you have any jewelry/accessories with owls (an owl?) on it? Or is that a hipster thing? I don't. Idk if it's a hipster thing or not.

If you went on American Idol, do you think you’d go through to Hollywood? Nooo.

What’s the closest thing to you that’s red? Part of the cover on the chronological study Bible I've been reading. I'm in the Book of Judges now.

Have you ever been fishing? As a child.

What’s in the background of your default pic? Nothing. Behind the character is just a plain white background.

Have you ever heard of the movie ‘Frozen’? I have heard of it, but I've never seen the movie.

What would you do if you were to get stuck on a ski lift overnight? Freak out? Cry? Freeze to death? But is that really a thing that can happen? Like, it's that complicated to get someone down?

Will you have a Valentine this year? I didn't.

Do you plan on seeing The Black Swan? No.

Do you keep a scrapbook? I made collages and such when I was younger, but it's not something I do now. I guess Tumblr kind of took over that inclination, at least when I was keeping more of a photo blog. Speaking of which, I have been tempted to get back into autumn blogging…

Do you hoard anything? Mmmm… I have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years, but I'm not really hoarding it or adding to it in any significant way. I've just been too lazy to go through it and throw things away.

Are you afraid of flying? I'm not afraid of riding in an airplane, but there are aspects of the whole process that make it something I wouldn't want to do.

Do you know any Star Wars freaks? No.

So, what about all them birds just dropping out of the sky? Idk man.

At what age do you become ‘old’? 40 will be a weird milestone, as will 50, but will I feel OLD? Idk. I guess I'll let you know if I ever get to that point. Because there's a good chance that I'll still be taking surveys when I do. :')

Most recent Facebook ‘like’? No idea. I haven't been on Facebook for years.

Would you rather go to Disney World, or Pleasure Island? Idk what Pleasure Island entails…but probably neither. Not my scene.

What song would you like to hear on the radio? The only radio station I really listen to is CPR classical, but I don't have a specific song in mind. I do enjoy Sunday mornings, though. More choral music.

Macaroon or a cupcake? Do you mean actual macaroons (the meringue coconut cookies) or French macarons? I'd like to try a French macaron, but between macaroons and cupcakes, I'd prefer a cupcake.

Have you ever camped out somewhere for an event the next day? I haven't. Unless hiking counts as an "event." :')

Who will you be with Saturday night? I'm going to a potluck at Liv's place (it's been rescheduled from next Monday to this Saturday), so Liv will be there, Riley, Emily (new vet tech), possibly Emily's partner, and whoever else happens to be present in the household. I'm bringing my pecan peanut butter cream pie for the group, plus some gluten free snacks for myself because idk if I'm going to be able to eat (or trust) the foods prepared by others.

What woke you up this morning? I woke up naturally around 5:00am.

Did you kiss or hug anyone today? I didn't.

Who do you wish you were with right now? My dad is downstairs, but I'm fine being by myself for the time being.

If you had one whole day to yourself, what would you do? Can I involve other people in my day? If so, then go to the mountain park with my dad - which is what I usually do.

Is anything bothering you? Yeeeah. So conflicted and aggravated over friendships. It's not their fault. I'm just weirdly socially wired. I like spending time with them at the animal shelter, probably because it's not a super focused social setting and there's less pressure to participate in all conversations, etc. They're also just not quite "my people." I like them fine as casual friends, but I don't think they're going to be those really close bonds that feel so natural and effortless. But now plans are becoming more frequent and I need something more than random excuses to get out of them. Part of that is my fault for being too much of a chameleon. I'm just afraid or don't know how to politely say, thank you, but this activity just isn't for me. Plus other things, but that's enough bothering for now, lmao.

Do you miss someone? Yeah.

What do you want to do right now? Feel relaxed.

Do you have a job? No.

What does your ipod have in it right now? I don't have an iPod.

Have you ever loved someone and were too scared to tell them? No.

When is the next time you will take a shower/bath? Which one will you take? Tomorrow morning, and I will take a shower.

Are you currently waiting on someone to do something for you/to you? My therapist is going to be looking into a place where I can get an Autism assessment. She also mentioned helping me find a doctor due to the digestive issues I've been experiencing.

Are you someone who is really committed to politics in your area/country? Nope.

Are you planning on going anywhere with someone, some time today? I'm not planning on going anywhere else, but I went grocery shopping and to my therapy appointment.

Have you ever forgotten your birthday? Did you soon figure it out? No.

Would you beat up anyone at the moment, if you absolutely had the chance? No.

What color are the curtains in your room if you have any at the moment? I don't have curtains, but the blinds are beige.

What would you consider the best kind of food you, yourself could make? Probably some type of pie or dessert dish.

Is there anyone you are currently trying to get out of trouble? Why? No.

[cryptidsurveys]

Wednesday, August 6th, 2025.

What item did you last replace the batteries in? I replaced the batteries in my keyboard within the last couple of weeks.

How many streaming services do you have? I don't have any streaming services and haven't for several years now. The only thing I use to watch videos is YouTube.

When’s the last time you changed a lightbulb? Idk. The overhead light in my bedroom burned out forever ago and I just never bothered to replace it. I've become so accustomed to functioning without it that there just doesn't seem to be any real need.

Who’s the last person that you visited in the hospital? In an actual hospital, my sibling, many years ago. In a physical rehab type of facility, my dad, after his heart surgery in 2019.

How many siblings do you have? I do have one younger sibling, but they aren't part of my life.

What’s the last food that’s gotten stuck in your teeth? Dunno, but possibly something from the snack I had a little bit ago. It was yogurt with mango and cornflakes.

What color are your couch cushions? Blue.

Do you have friends or acquaintances in other countries? I do have a couple of acquaintances in other countries.

When’s the last time you took a nap, and how long did you end up sleeping for? The day after the animal shelter fundraising event. I woke up with a migraine, suffered through the morning iso tasks, came home, and ended up taking a nap at some point.

When is the last time you ordered food for delivery? (Door Dash, GrubHub, etc) What did you get, and from where? About a month and a half ago. That was shortly before my stomach started seriously revolting. Natasha, River, and I got some things from Solar Roast. I got a breakfast bagel and an iced coffee.

If you were someone else, would you want to be friends with yourself? Well, other people do want to be friends with me (to the point where I now feel overwhelmed with friendships and social expectations), so…perhaps? I guess it would just depend on my personality as a different person. I think I could get along well with someone who had relatable traits and interests, but it might be hard to be friends with someone exactly like me. Then again, maybe not. Idk. It would either be wonderful, like meeting a long-lost twin who understood me very deeply, or we would be triggered by one another, competitive, envious, etc.

When’s the last time you went up onto a ladder? Why? I don't remember the last time I went up a full-sized ladder, but the last time I used a ladder stepstool type of thing wasn't that long ago. Might have been when I did that deep clean in the back of cat iso.

What’s the last thing you microwaved? Oatmeal for breakfast this morning.

Which side of your fridge door is the handle on? It's on the right side.

Who’s the author of the last book you read? Michael Ende, and the book is The Neverending Story.

When’s the last time you had a good idea? What was it? Cutting out gluten a couple of weeks ago. My symptoms seemed so random and mysterious, and I thought, naw, it couldn't be that…but I finally decided to try it, and now my symptoms have drastically improved. I did accidentally consume gluten when my dad made his chili beans and rice the other day. I had an upset stomach the next morning and it was the only thing that was "different" about my eating habits, but it wasn't until I looked at a spice packet later on that I realized it had wheat in it. Then, last Monday, I went to IHOP with my mom and ordered the gluten friendly pancakes and ended up with stomach issues yesterday evening. I'm not sure if it was just the rich food or if they cooked the pancakes on a griddle that had been used to cook regular pancakes or other bready things (or maybe it had nothing to do with any of that and it was set off by something else entirely), but ugh. If I've become that sensitive to even the tiniest accidental ingestion of gluten…that's kind of scary. * I actually have to credit my mom with the idea. She mentioned celiac and I was like, no way I have that, surely I would know because I would be in a whole world of distress; but I do have a gluten sensitivity, one that didn't seem to cause much of an issue, and I was resistant to the idea until it got so bad and nothing else seemed to be working that I just went with it. I also just read that a gluten sensitivity can't "turn into" celiac, but celiac can develop independently. I would have to go to a doctor and get tested to differentiate between the two, but things are bad enough already that I'm going to be avoiding gluten regardless of which one it is.

Are you a vegetarian or a vegan? I'm not.

Have you caught CoVid? I had it in late February - early March of 2023.

Who was your last loved one who passed away? How old were they? My grandmother on my dad's side. I'm not sure exactly how old she was.

What’s the last bill you paid? Idk.

Have you ever seen a leech in person? I have not.

What’s the last rebellious thing you've done? You know when you try to speak up and tell someone to stop or not to do something when you would ordinarily stay silent? Well. It was that. And she didn't listen, so...sigh. :')

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned in the past year? Probably that I need to find a balance between my fear of disappointing others, the high I get from being needed or appreciated, and staying within my own mental and physical limitations.

Are there any popular dance moves you are good at? Naw.

Have you ever seen a flash mob in person? I haven't.

Do you ever attend protests? I tagged along to a Monsanto protest many years ago, mainly because my dad, my sibling, and their partner at the time were attending, but these days, no, protests aren't my thing.

Have you ever struggled with acne? Definitely not to the degree that some people have struggled with it, but I guess you could say that.

Did you enjoy High School Musical when it was a thing? I never watched it.

What’s the last thing you threw away? An old receipt.

Do you enjoy staying in hotels? I loved it when I was younger, especially if they had a pool, but staying in hotels no longer appeals to me.

Have you ever shot a gun? I shot a rifle at camp when I was a kid.

Are you from the south region of your country? West.

Do you enjoy going on walks? Pretty much only if they're in the woods or out in nature somewhere.

Do you know anyone who has a crush on you? I don't.

What cover do you think is better than the original song? Idk.

Would you ever like to learn belly dancing? Naw.

Are there words you struggle pronouncing? Not really. Not any English words, anyway.

What’s one of your favorite memories related to an animal? Snuggling in bed with my kitties. <3

[cryptidsurveys]

Sunday, August 3rd, 2025.

Do you have a bad reputation? Among most of the people I know these days, I think I have a pretty darn good reputation.

Have you ever gone through a bad breakup? Most of my breakups have been bad or at least painful.

Do you believe in Jesus? I think it's possible that he was a real person. Whether or not he was the Son of God is a different story. I'm not sure where I stand on that. That's something I will have to ponder more over the course of my own religious exploration.

Has anyone ever used a cheesy pickup line on you? Not that I can recall.

Are you hard of hearing? I'm not.

Would you ever want a statue made of you? No thanks. Not unless it's just me covered with a bunch of cats. ;D

What’s the name of your best friend? Ollie.

When did you last go for a run? I'm not sure.

What is something that gives you good vibes? Watching my favorite Japan vloggers.

How many bones have you broken in your life? I don't know whether I broke them or not because I never went to get them looked at, but I've bashed my right big toe and my left pinky toe pretty badly. The pinky toe incident was just a few months ago, whereas the big toe one was back in 2009.

What did you last search for? A mental illness test. I wanted something long and comprehensive, but only I only found some for individual disorders, which I didn't end up taking. I've mentioned how my therapist wants me to do an Autism assessment, but after looking more into Autism, even though some of the traits are relatable, I don't relate to them enough to consider it the potential missing element. One example: I do have some sensory sensitivities, but those seem more connected to migraines than anything more pervasive. I obviously cope just fine with the routine chaos at the animal shelter. Take deep clean days, for instance. A whole noisy, crowded, messy mess. I think what I'm going to do is jot down all of the symptoms I struggle with and bring that list to my therapist on Wednesday. I have been seeing her for five years now, so I know she has a good grasp of my issues, but…idk how to explain this or if it's even accurate…but I feel like we tend to deal with things more situationally or individually, as they are relevant, and we don't necessarily stop to look at the whole picture. I want to create that whole picture, all in one place, that way I can ask her what it looks like to her. Whether that be Autism, something else, both, or what.

What color are your lampshades? I think the only lamp we have is the one in the master bathroom area and that lampshade is white.

Where are you currently? At home in my bedroom.

Has anyone ever called you dumb? I don't think anyone has ever seriously called me dumb. Not to my face, anyway.

Do you have any cats? Two.

What were you doing last time 3am came around? I was sleeping.

What’s your favorite love song? I don't have one.

What all did you do last night? Just the usual. Ate dinner, cleaned the litter boxes and fed the cats, chatted with my dad for a while, then laid in bed and watched stuff on YouTube.

What last let you down? Something that happened on the 25th of July that I don't feel like talking about because it feels kind of pathetic.

How many lights do you have on? There are lots of little lights on the strand above my desk, but they aren't very bright.

Have you ever had vertigo? I have.

Has your house ever been robbed? No.

Are you currently tired? I'm not doing too badly considering the morning was busier than I expected. We have another new employee in cattery now. River was off today, so it was just Kristen on training. I had to do cat iso, but I went into cattery afterwards to help out. I also had to clean out some kennels because Jasper was moved into cattery, and Pickles the bathroom kitten was moved into the kennel above his previous spot. Originally, I was thinking that I would only be there until about 11am, but I ended up leaving around 12:30pm. The new employee seems cool, though, and they're around my age.

When did you last get a haircut? Sjksfk, too long ago. I am so glad I'm finally getting it cut again tomorrow.

Do you ever use the slang “sheesh”? Yeah.

Have you done a breathing exercise recently? I haven't.

Have you ever had collard greens? I think so.

Do you or would you ever live on a coast? I don't. I'll probably spend the rest of my life living in Colorado.

Are you a crybaby? Sometimes. I can be way too sensitive.

If you have a partner, do you have a song? I don't have a partner.

Have you ever dug a hole? What for? Heck yeah. For fun. It was a huge hole, too. Very impressive. Scared the shit out of my dad when he saw it because what if it caved in on us? The thought didn't bother me then, but it sure does now.

Do you spend too much time in your room? Maybe.

Have you ever fainted? What from? I haven't.

What is something that is “just like heaven” to you? Hiking at the mountain park on a cloudy autumn day. It won't be long now…

Who is someone you know who is gorgeous? Hmm.

Do you know a Chelsea? I don't.

Would you rather kill or be killed? Kill me, lmao. Take me OUT.

What’s a good habit you have? I'm pretty consistent about going to the animal shelter. I was thinking the other day about how if I ever went back to school, I probably wouldn't have an absence issue like I did in the past.

Would you rather have 12 fingers or 12 toes? Twelve toes. No one sees my feet but me anyway.

What’s the sweetest, best pie you’ve ever had? I'm not sure.

What did you last try to do? Explain myself.

Have you broken anyone’s heart? I don't knowww. Maybe. I guess you would have to ask those people how they felt.

Do you have brown eyes? My eyes are hazel.

Are you currently barefoot? No. I'm wearing socks and slippers.

[cryptidsurveys]

Have you been on any type of online messengers today? I messaged Iris and Leslie to let them know my availability for the upcoming week, missed a text from Liv that was irrelevant by the time I looked at it, and I've checked the shelter group chats, but that's it.

Who was the last person you called? My mom. She's taking me to get my hair cut on Monday and then we're going out to eat. Not entirely sure where yet, I'll probably let her weigh in, but I would like to go to Cactus Flower. I want to get their steak fajitas. I just won't eat the tortillas, but the rest of the sides should be fine.

What are you wearing on your feet? Slippers.

About how many hours of sleep did you get last night? Around 7-8.

Can you crack your toes? I can't. My sibling used to do that, though. And as someone who later became a seasoned neck-cracker, I get it now. NOT cracking it is the real torture.

What are you currently dressed in? Black sweatpants, an orange volunteer t-shirt, and a light gray hoodie. Pajamas, basically.

What was the last thing you watched on the TV? Family Feud in the waiting room at my therapist's office.

What was the last thing you looked up on Google? I'm not sure.

When did you cry last? Why? I kind of cried a little bit on the 25th of July. I don't want to explain the reason why, though.

What is your state’s minimum wage? According to the Google overview, "For 2025, the statewide minimum wage increased to $14.81 per hour for non-tipped employees and $11.79 per hour for tipped workers."

Who was the last person to make you genuinely smile? My dad.

What kind of cologne/perfume do you like the opposite sex to wear? I'm not really familiar with specific perfumes + colognes, so just whatever smells nice and doesn't trigger my migraines.

When was the last time you went on a cleaning spree? Idk about a cleaning spree, but at least I managed to vacuum most of my room and the upstairs hallway today. I also cleaned at the animal shelter, but wouldn't consider that a spree.

Where are you planning to go on your next vacation? I don't have any vacation plans, but I'll probably visit the mountain park soon. Not next Wednesday, but maybe the Wednesday after that.

Is there something you want to say to someone but can’t/won’t? Ehhh. I wish I knew why Diane still seems to be maintaining something of a grudge against me. Like, on one hand, I sort of get it, but on the other? Wtf, lmao.

[cryptidsurveys]

What’s a reason for your happiness?: One reason? Tootsie, one of our elderly medical cats, is going to her new foster home tomorrow. She deserves to spend her remaining days somewhere comfortable and full of love. <3 Lol, I'm also proud because I did that cat tour. Success! ;D

Is there a light on in the room you’re in?: There's a string of lights above my desk and natural light from the window.

Do you have a close friend whose name begins with the letter C? Nope.

[cryptidsurveys]

Wednesday, July 30th, 2025.

Do you feel pressure to keep your life interesting? To some extent. Like, sometimes I think about how people at the animal shelter have full lives outside of work, whereas volunteering basically is the central focus of my life. I don't feel like I have a whole lot going on aside from that. I know it's not my job to entertain others and that it only matters if my life is interesting and enjoyable to me, but it does make it hard to connect with people over shared hobbies and activities when I don't really…do anything…

Is there anyone who seems to always be under the influence of something when you see them or talk to them? Does it bug you? I don't know anyone like that.

Have you ever found the blog of someone you knew in real life, but not very well? How did it change your opinions on them? One person who comes to mind is Jillian, a girl I was acquainted with in high school. We often sat with the same group at lunch, but I didn't really know a whole lot about her aside from her interest in drawing and anime. She kept a blog on Myspace, and I read through a lot of it. I wouldn't say it changed my opinion of her, but it gave me a little more insight into who she was as a person, I guess.

What is something you are incredibly behind on? Housecleaning.

When is the right time to start having sex with someone you’ve become romantically interested in? The timeline is different for everyone, but as long as you and your partner are comfortable with it, then okay. Personally, I think I would wait a lot longer than I have in the past.

If you honestly heard the voice of God talking to you, would you tell anyone? How would you tell them? (I.E., Conversations With God is a result of the author claiming to have heard God’s voice loud and clear, but some people would have gone packing to the mental institution, and others would have told their church… etc.) If I started hearing a random voice in my head, then I don't think I would immediately assume it was God, regardless of what it claimed. I'd be pretty freaked out, skeptical, etc. Depending on the state of my mental health at the time, I might assume it was some sort of psychotic episode or a descent into schizophrenia. But if I was otherwise in my right mind, then maybe some other health issue, like a brain tumor. Idk. However, if legit miracles started taking place in accordance with what the voice declared, then I would have a harder time passing it off as something else. I'd tell my dad because I tell him pretty much everything, and I'd most likely tell my therapist too, but I probably wouldn't tell anyone else about it because it would just be too weird - whether it was psychosis, a tumor, or what have you.

On that note, do you know anyone who speaks in tongues (or, if you don’t believe it, claims to)? I don't.

Has anyone ever lied to you or a friend of yours about their age for a reason other than getting alcohol/cigarettes? Why’d they do it, and did anyone find out? Not that I can recall.

What’s the last allergic reaction you had? Not sure if possible gluten sensitivities count as an allergic reaction, but whatever gut issues I was having over the past month. I did have some trouble this morning, but the last week and a half-ish have been so much better. Maybe I have additional sensitivities that I haven't figured out yet, maybe I accidentally ingested something with gluten, maybe it was just a fluke, idk.

What does it mean when you start eating less? What does it mean when you start eating more? Some triggers include feeling helpless, trapped, ashamed, or a lack of control in my external life. I rarely ever swing the other direction and eat way too much; for me, "eating more" tends to mean actually eating something approaching "enough." In which case, it's usually because the aforementioned triggers aren't so overwhelming.

If someone was fat and genuinely liked themselves that way (Google “fatshionista”!), what would you think? Do you think being fat can be a good thing or that people can be fat and healthy? Their state of health is not my business.

Is there anything you feel the need to organize by chart? No.

What’s your opinion on mid-day naps? I will typically only take them if they feel irresistible or unavoidable. Otherwise, I'm not a fan of naps because I tend to wake up feeling groggy and yucky. I would much rather wait until bedtime if I can.

When’s the last time you spontaneously made plans? With who/to do what? I have no idea. I don't normally make spontaneous plans. However, I might attend a potluck at Liv's house on the 11th of August. It's going to start a bit late (for me) so I doubt I will stay very long. I might even take the following day off from volunteering just because I know I won't get the best night of sleep and could wake up with a migraine.

What’s the strangest named pet you’ve ever had? None of them have had particularly strange names.

Do you know if there is anyone who was once important to you that you will never talk to again, even though you could? Like they'd actually be willing to reconnect with me? No. I can't think of anyone like that.

[cryptidsurveys]

What hemp/cannabis products do you have? I have some coconut cream hemp body butter - it was a Christmas gift from Paul, one of the volunteers at the animal shelter.

How many doctors are you a patient of? I don't have a doctor at this time, not even a primary care one. The only person I currently see is my therapist.

What is something you remember from a recent dream? I can't remember my last dream very well, so I'm having trouble figuring out how to describe it.

Who do you know with the same model of vehicle as you? I don't know anyone.

How far did you go the last time you left town? Not that far. Just to the mountain park, which is about 20 miles out of town.

What colour belt are you wearing or last wore? I haven't worn a belt for years, but probably a studded black or white one.

Run your fingers through your hair and measure the first stray. How long is it? Maybe 3-4 inches. Waaay too long. I can't wait for my haircut next Monday.

For what did you last write your signature? Probably for something at my therapist's office, but the last time I wrote my name, non-signature style, was on the volunteer sign-in sheet at the shelter.

How many vehicles do you and your spouse own? No spouse, but my dad and I have two vehicles.

[cryptidsurveys]

Sunday, July 27th, 2025.

Have you ever felt like you were dreaming even though you were awake? I had an experience a few weeks ago and the best way I can think to describe it was like being a character in a horror film. Nothing scary happened, but it was this strange, hazy atmosphere where everything felt simultaneously very detached and very close, and every action felt cinematic.

When was the last time something just seemed too good to be true? Probably when I went back to volunteering at the animal shelter in 2023. I didn't expect to be welcomed back with such open arms.

Do you believe eyes are like windows to the soul? Idk about "the windows to the soul," but I do think the eyes, coupled with other facial expressions and body language, can give you insight into someone's personality, how they're feeling, etc.

Has someone ever whistled at you while you were walking? No.

Are you guilty of texting while driving? I don't think I've ever texted while driving, but I am guilty of looking at my phone, such as picking out a song on Spotify.

Have you ever caused a lot of noise in a library? Maybe when I was little, but I don't think I was ever seriously disruptive.

Have you ever been to a music festival? I haven't.

What was the last thing that completely took your breath away? Recently, getting into a hot car on a summer afternoon.

Are you a competitive person? Not really when it comes to games and such, but in other ways. That's another thing that I have to work to keep in check.

Have you ever been in a relay race? Yeah.

What cereal tastes so good that you always eat more than 1 bowl? I don't normally eat more than one bowl at a time.

If your life was a movie, what would it be rated? Lately, probably PG or PG-13. In the past, definitely more R-rated.

Are you more of a talker or a listener? I'm more of talker when I'm comfortable with someone, but I'm more of a listener in settings like the animal shelter.

Have you ever called in at a radio station & dedicated a song to someone? I haven't.

Would you ever go to a protest or be involved in a protest? I went to a Monsanto protest many years ago, not as a participant, but just to check it out. They had various booths and whatnot. I doubt I would ever participate in a protest.

When playing rock, paper, scissors which do you usually pick? I just choose on a whim.

Have you ever tried to write a book? I have.

Don’t you hate it when people blow smoke in your face? No one does that to me.

Have you ever been hit by a chunk of hail? Not a huge chunk.

Do one word text messages annoy you? They would if I felt like someone was shrugging me off or refusing to communicate, but it's all about context. I haven't felt that way over any recent text messages.

Do you have high standards? I don't think of myself as someone who has especially high standards, but maybe in some ways.

Have you ever had something to say but you couldn’t get the words out? Mmhm.

Have you ever changed your clothes while in a vehicle? I have.

Did you ever have your brothers or sisters clothing handed down to you? Not really.

Do you have the same routine day by day? My routines aren't exactly the same, but pretty much.

Would you ever go on a walk to raise money for cancer research? I would certainly consider it.

If you were treated unfairly at work, would you go on strike? I would probably just get in my head about it until I was so stressed out and upset that I quit or did something to get myself fired.

If God were standing in front of you, what would you say or do? Probably smile and wave awkwardly like a dweeb, but I guess it would depend on the intensity of the spiritual encounter. I just honestly picture myself being bashful like I would be with most regular people.

Would you ever try any extreme sports? Does rock climbing count as an extreme sport? Because I would be willing to do that.

Do you know how to snap your fingers? I can't.

Do you plan your outfits for the next day or just randomly choose? I tend to pick them out in the morning.

Are you a bossy person? Occasionally.

Do you control your attitude or does it control you? There are times when it controls me, but not always.

Is it true that if you don’t love yourself, you can’t love another? I don't think that's always true, but I can only speak for myself and say that I do find it difficult to connect with others at least in part due to my self-loathing.

Would you ever give blood? What blood type are you? I don't weigh enough to donate blood. I think I'm O negative, but I'm not entirely sure.

Does your town or city have good public transport, or is it easier to drive? I'm not very familiar with our public transport systems, but for me it's much easier to drive.

What was the last cocktail you drank? I had a tequila sunrise at the fundraising event last night, and (although it's not a cocktail) I also sampled a bit of red wine.

Do you have a dishwasher? We do have a dishwasher, but I pretty much always wash my dishes by hand right after I'm finished eating. It's just so much easier for me that way.

Who do you live with? My dad and two kitties.

Are you listening to anything right now? I'm not.

Have you ever developed your own film? No.

When was the last time you stayed in a hotel/motel and where was that? I think the last time would have been in 2011 after hiking the first three segments of the Colorado Trail. We stayed in Ken Caryl.

What breed was the last dog you saw? It might have been Missy, one of the dogs at the animal shelter. I think that's who was being taken to the small yard when I was on my way out. Idk what breed she is, though.

Do you watch the Super Bowl? I've watched it a handful of times. Even though I'm not into football and don't really care who wins, there's something slightly nostalgic about it?

What’s your favourite Disney movie? I don't have a favorite.

What’s the most stressful job you’ve ever had? I've only had one job that I would consider "real," and it was a brief stint working at the animal shelter in 2021. I was not in a place where I could handle it, but I'm coping with things much better these days, even though I'm just a volunteer.

What was the last text message you received? It was a message from Iris (manager) asking if I was able to cover iso this week. I sure as heck am! :D Also, they took in a new kitten just recently, a black and white tuxedo male, and he is so cuuute.

Are you allergic to anything that is unusual? I have a gluten sensitivity that suddenly decided to start kicking my ass after years of not really seeming like that big of a deal, but other than that, just seasonal allergies. Nothing too unusual.

When did you last feel fear? Beyond my usual anxiety? Probably a couple of weeks ago.

What did you last drop? I'm not sure.

Have you ever been to a Halloween themed amusement park? I haven't, but that sounds like something I would enjoy more than a regular amusement park.

What was the last pain you’ve had on your body? I bashed my elbow a couple of times while I was at the shelter earlier. D;

Is there anything currently bothering you? My hair. I need a haircut so badly. I don't feel like myself. BUT Caity did compliment my hair this morning. :')

What’s something you miss from the past? Going on backpacking and camping trips with my dad.

When did you last rush for something? I'm kind of rushing through this survey, but aside from that, I also rushed to finish up at the animal shelter earlier. I have to be back sooner than usual because they're closing at 3:00pm, that way we have time to go home and get ready for the fundraising dinner, and I wanted to make sure that I had some time in between to relax.

Do you require a lot of personal space or do you enjoy being around people often? I generally enjoy and require both. Even though I can be a bit on the introverted side, I still need some level of social interaction, but I also need time to do my own thing and decompress.

Have you drank enough water today? I think so.

Do you like lima beans? Yeah.

What was the last lie you told? I'm not sure.

What did you last plug into an outlet? I plugged my phone into its charger, but as for an actual outlet, a fan at the animal shelter.

[cryptidsurveys]

Thursday, July 24th, 2025.

Are you content with the current weather? I'm okay with it. It's somewhat cloudy and not super hot, so the swamp cooler is able to keep up. It also looks like it could get stormy later, in which case I will be very content.

Do you own many pairs of shorts? I might have a pair or two somewhere, but I basically never wear shorts.

Is there a place you’d rather be right now? Naw. I went to the mountain park earlier, but I'm tired and happy to be home.

When was the last time you were disappointed? Earlier. The car got stuck while backing into the picnic site and I was just like…ugh. My first real chance to relax in weeks and then this happens? Thankfully, a fellow walking his dog came by not long after and he was able to quickly go home, get his truck, and tow us out. :')

Do you miss someone right now? Yeah.

Have you ever taken a close up shot of a flower? Many times.

Is there an article of clothing you need to buy right now? Nothing I really need, but I did buy a pair of black scrubs at the store yesterday.

When was the last time you had alcohol? Last November. I was planning on sampling some beer at the fundraising event tomorrow evening, but now that won't be happening because I'm avoiding gluten. If they have some other fancy drinks, then maybe I will try those. Or maybe not. It just depends.

Do you feel like you just need to be with friends and relax? Honestly, being with friends and relaxing don't always go together for me. I feel most relaxed when I'm by myself or with my dad.

Is there a situation you currently feel hopeless about? Not completely hopeless, but it sure is daunting.

When was the last time you wanted to do something, but couldn’t? Over the last few weeks. As I've repeatedly mentioned in recent surveys, I've been happy to help out in iso while they're short staffed, but it has meant fewer days off and zero opportunities to visit the mountain park…until today!

When was the last time you sang out loud to yourself? Today.

Are you one to often make typos? Sometimes. I will go back and fix them if I notice them, but some of them probably escape detection.

On a hot day, would you rather prefer ice cream or a popsicle? A popsicle.

Have you ever wanted to get drunk and get your mind off everything? Mmhm.

Who was the last person you texted? My mom.

Is there a fan going in the room you’re in? There's a vent in the ceiling for the swamp cooler, which is running.

Do you feel you’re fighting a losing battle? I hope not.

Have you played cards recently? I haven't.

Is there a band you like with amazing music but a bad vocalist? Not that I can think of.

When was the last time you had a headache? Today. Not a horrible one, though.

Does pizza sound good to you right now? It does.

Have you ever relied on coffee to keep you awake? Maybe to help wake me up, but not to stay awake.

Do you sleep well during the summer? When it comes to the average number of hours, it's probably about the same, but it feels better during the colder months. I prefer to go to bed early, and I don't like trying to sleep while it's hot or still light out.

Anything you might be giving up on soon? I guess I'm going to have to give up gluten. The results over the past few days pretty much speak for themselves. I'm so glad to be feeling so much better!

Have you ever captured a moth? Like in my hands? Yeah.

Does long grass irritate your bare legs? I rarely have bare legs in the first place.

Will you be going to the beach anytime soon? No.

Have you ever made any kind of video? Backpacking videos, survey videos, stupid stoner videos, etc.
