Send Me Unusual Asks! I LOVE THAT YOU SENT ME FOURTEEN OF THESE I can’t imagine anyone wants to read this much about me but HERE WE GO. Half of them are under a cut because apparently I’m incapable of just giving simple answers that don’t include long rambling elaborations or stories so it got kinda long, OOPS 

2. is your room messy or clean?Mostly clean! I could do to sweep/vacuum the floor a bit more often, but for the most part I keep the floor clean and mostly uncluttered, and everything else stays in its place and my bed is always made 

4. do you like your name? why?YOU GET A STORY YOU NEVER ASKED FOR, CONGRATS. So I go by Elle online and IRL for the most part (everyone except my immediate family calls me Elle now!), but my actual name is Erica. I don’t totally hate it, but I never really loved it, either. I was always jealous of names with good nicknames, or options if you weren’t a fan of the whole version. About 6 years ago Someone said I could just be “E” while I was very determined to give myself a new/nickname and I was like “Or L,” because it was my last initial. And I was like “L… E.L.L. ELLE. I CAN MAKE THIS WORK”  And then Elle stuck when I joined a few sites under the nickname, and switched over to it entirely when I moved away from home and to a state where the only people who knew me knew me exclusively as Elle to begin with. Throw in a new job where I told everyone to just call me Elle from day 1, and now here I am, going by a name I absolutely adore!!

6. describe your personality in 3 words or lessIndependent, escapist, empathetic 

11. favorite social media accountLike, to follow? Probably the Welcome To Night Vale twitter. I just love everything related to that podcast!

13. any siblings?I have one younger sister! 

14. if you can live anywhere in the world where would it be? why?Ahhh, the only repeat from my first ask, answered here! 

17. how many times a week do you shower?When I’m not sweating to death over the summer and showering once a day (minimally x_x) like I am right now, I usually average every other day the rest of the year, so 3-4 times a week. 

26. how many pillows do you sleep with?I use two to actually sleep on, but there are 4 pillows total and 1 moose pillow pet named Sammy on my bed at all times. 

29. whats the worst thing you have ever done? This one is tough… not because I never do anything wrong, but mostly my life is pretty boring and average and I don’t get into a ton of trouble, so nothing really jumps out as anything terrible. I went through a bit of a self-destructive rough patch earlier this year where I had a friend who would sneak us alcohol into work and we’d drink during our shifts because we hated our jobs too much to want to do them sober. It was definitely dumb and reckless. So yeah, probably that? I was such trash those two months. 

37. do you read a lot? whats your favorite book? I used to read a lot more than I am right now, but I do love reading! The Dark Half by Stephen King and Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett are usually my go-to favorites, followed by the Johannes Cabal series by Jonathan L. Howard. 

62. do you still watch cartoons? YES. I love them. I’ll go through phases, and most of the time now it’s more things like Bob’s Burgers and Archer, but also things like Invader Zim, or even stuff more geared towards kids like Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends is golden. 

80. what is your biggest pet peeve?At the moment, because it happened TWICE TONIGHT: People who put you on speaker phone but their speaker phone sucks and you have to say “what? WHAT?” a thousand times until they finally take you off speaker phone, and you can finally understand them and then once you get the first thing THEY SWITCH RIGHT BACK TO SPEAKER PHONE like it’s suddenly going to work better than it did 5 seconds ago and you’re right back to going “What? WHAT?!” again. …*cough* Can you tell I answer phones at work? >.>  

83. regular oreos or golden oreos? Regular. 

100.  who was the last person you cried in front of? This is an easy one because I do 99.9% of my crying alone while no one is home because I fucking hate when people see me cry. But a few weeks back my dad sent me a really touching text that made me super emotional, and I was telling my roommate about it and mid-story I just started crying again and couldn’t stop, and we both panicked and she went “…I don’t know what to do right now, you never cry!” and I replied with “…neither do I, I DON’T LIKE THIS” and it was hilarious and awkward until I sorted myself out and got control again because I’m a mess fjdsklfjsalh;gaosfos

HOOOO BOY GET READY FOR A WALL OF TEXT

STORY FROM MY CHILDHOOD:okay so the only story i can think of from childhood is a really wild story.

i was about 8 years old. my mom and i had planned a trip to schlitterbahn water park in san antonio. so we drove from corpus christi to san antonio and it was a pretty radical trip and all! super chill and fun time. at the end of the day, i was all tuckered out and fell asleep. next thing i know my mom is waking me up and telling me that we had gotten water in our engine and our car got stuck on the side of the road. |: my mom and i made calls back home and told family members what happened. i don’t know if it was then or later that they had told us they heard about it, but the thing is the roads were closed to get out of san antonio. the weather was getting worse and roads were becoming very flooded.

anyways, me and my mom just wanted to get some food in us and get us set up in a motel for the night. we hitched a ride to a jack in the box (we loved going there whenever we traveled to san antonio because at the time we didn’t have any back in corpus.) the dude was pretty nice and even let me keep the blanket he had in the back seat so i could stay dry (or as dry as i could be in that weather lol!)

we got some yums, talked a bit and chilled inside before heading out into the rain again. we had seen a motel 6 down the way so thats where we were headed. when my mom tried getting us a room she didnt exactly have enough cash on her to afford us a room. the guy at the front desk told us there was another motel about 5 miles down or something??

so we went out on our way. my mom was super fustrated having to find another place, and everything that had happened that she started sobbing. me, being an innocent kid and all, tried to cheer my mom up and not let things get us down. “it’s ok mommy! don’t cry. ~^o^~”

not a few minutes later, a couple slowly drove by us and pulled over and asked if we needed any help. my mom asked if we could get a lift to the next motel. we hopped in and we chatted a bit. they seemed confused though. they were telling us the next motel/hotel around wasn’t for atleast another 10 miles minimum. we were shocked. we felt lied to by the guy at the front desk.

they turned around and went to their bank and told us how much we needed. my mom felt bad about asking for money, she didnt really want it to come to that! she told them about 20 dollars more is what we needed to get a motel at the place we wanted to go to, tho. they ended up giving us 60. my mom was super super grateful. she really did not want to accept so much money but they insisted! we thanked them dearly and as we were about to get off they handed us their number and told us to call them in the morning so they could help us get our car moved and all.

so we got our room, got out of our wet clothes and relaxed for the night. got some fruit and cereal in the morning since we had complimentary breakfast. slept a bit more then packed up and returned our room key. we went over to a joint kfc/taco bell resturant and bough some tacos for lunch. my mom called them after we were done and got a ride to where we left our car. the man took a look at it and was trying to see what he needed. he told his wife to go grab stuff from home and she asked if i wanted to come along. i came along, we grabbed the stuff, and some fruit and water and drove back to them.

my memory of how we got back home is super fuzzy though. cant remember if we got the car back up and running, or if my grandparents traveled to get us and pulled the car all the way home or what :S i wish i could remember exactly… all i can remember is, my mom held onto their number because she wanted to pay them back for helping us through that super rough time. when she finally gathered some money together, she called the number but it was no longer in service?

it was truely some kind of miracle…like a pair of angels were sent our way.

whenever we talk about this story, my mom feels like no one would have lent a hand if it wasn’t for me being with her.

CAN WE TEXT/I WISH..

im not sure which this is because theres two questions with this emoji. :S but if for talking, sure! feel free to message me anytime. i’m not super consistant with responces all the time cause i may not have tumblr open/mood but…don’t be afraid to try!

STORY ABOUT YOUR DAY

okay so this was yesterday coz my day really hasnt even begun today lol

alright so yesterday was actually pretty okay in the morning! i watched some stuff, surfed tumblr a bit. layed in bed till i felt more energized to hop on the computer. i streamed a bit and my pal joined in! i suddenly felt like working on a lil something for her since i was messing around with textures in sai. so i sketched, inked and colored up a thing for her. i was quite proud of how it turned out. i stepped away to stretch my legs a bit and see if there was anything to eat. my grandma told me she felt like eating some chinese food from a place we like to take out from. so i placed an order for us and we went to pick it up. got home and new episode of maid dragon is out! all is well and good. i go to my room with my stuff and start eating some eggdrop soup. i wanted to save some for later so i leaned over to grab the lid and THE DAMN BOWL SPILLS OVER. all over my legs. x_x and my comforter. and some on the floor. eugh. guess it was about time to wash that thing anyways. i spent the rest of the day all sleepy. fell asleep an hour before work. was dieing the whole time at work haha.
