#casually turns a meme into a hc post b/c the questions where great

[amongwclves-archive]

1. What are three Netflix shows that they’ve rated five stars? the walking dead, american horror story, stranger things. there are a few others ones but these are her absolute favorites.

2. Where do they prefer to read? On the sofa, in bed, at a table, on the porch, in a cafe? claire's not really a big reader, so it doesn't make much of a difference to her --- if she had to pick, though, she'd probably choose at a table, in a nice quiet. the bed and sofa are too comfy, easy for her to doze off if the book is extra boring, wheras it's a bit easier to stay alert at a table. if it's too noisy though, it becomes diffucult for her to focus on the book.

3. Do they like to play games? What kind of games: video, card, board? What are some of their favorites? claire loves to play games, so long as there's some sort of challenge, and a clear winner or loser. she loves all sorts of games, although card and board games are her favorites; she's become quite the poker player thanks to years of being around the boys, and monopoly and risk have been her shit since she was a little kid.

4. What’s their food weakness? What food can they never turn down?honestly she doesn't really have a food weakness? i guess if anything, trail mix, it's her favorite snack and she doesn't worry so much about portion control with it. she's also a bit of a sucker for freshly made fish fry, although she won't eat a large portion, and it has to be made just the right way.

5. Do they prefer movies or TV shows? Why? personally claire tends to lean towards movies, for the simple reason that she finds it difficult to keep up with tv shows due to her hectic life ; while she does like that tv shows tend to incorporate better plotlines and more little details, it's easier to sit down and watch a two hour movie than a twenty-two episode season.

6. What holiday is their favorite? Which is their least favorite? while she's not a super big holiday celebrator, claire's got a bit of a soft spot for the fourth of july; the always have a big bonfire, and her uncle sam pulls out the grill, and there's fireworks. it's always a good time. she was also quite found of halloween when she was younger though, mostly for the costumes. if anything, thanksgiving would probably be her least favorite, just because she doesn't get as excited about the food as everyone else. 

7. What’s their diet like? Are they vegetarian, vegan? Do they have any food allergies that make them have a special diet? claire runs a very strict and healthy diet due to her dance training; it consists mostly of a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, white meat, protein, etc. while she's not a vegetarian, she doesn't eat a lot of meat, and when she does, it's mostly white meats like turkey or chicken. it's a very rare occurence she'll touch red meat, just out of preference. she doesn't have any food allergies anyone, although she was had a bit of a lactose intolerance when she was a child that sometimes flairs up nowadays.

8. What sort of toys did they play with as a child? claire was a bit of a stereotypical girl; she was all about her barbies, stuffed animals, princesses, that kind of stuff. she was especially found of a ballet-themed barbie doll her friend leslie had gifted her, and a stuffed wolf quil had given her when she was little. 

9. How often do they go grocery shopping? Do they tend to do one large trip, or smaller ones throughout the week? claire will normally do one or two smaller trips throughout the week, and maybe one large trip every month or so to pick up some of the non-perishable stuff. because her diets consists of a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and perishable items, it makes more sense to do smaller trips instead of trying to buy a shit ton of it just for it to all good bad on her. 

10. Do they eat breakfast? What’s a typical breakfast look like for them? breakfast is the one meal claire very rarely skips, although she keeps it light; just a bit of granola and yogurt usually, maybe a smoothie once in a while. 

11. Do they like going to museums? What type of museums do they like to go to? Art, science, historical; interactive, quiet, a mix? while not an avid museum go-er, claire typically won't complain about going to one, depending on the topic of the museum. she tends to like the art ones the best, although the historical ones can sometimes be interesting too. a nice mix of interactive and quiet works for her; she doesn't like when they get overcrowded, and she doesn't like the ones where you just stand there and stare at stuff. 

12. How do they organize their books? Alphabetical by author, by title? By size, color, date published? Is there any rhyme or reason? claire doesn't have a whole lot of books to organize since she's not a big readers, but she organizes them alphabetically, first by author and then by title. there's no real reason for it, it's just how she likes to do it, and it settles her slightly ocd mind. 

13. Have they ever been do Disney World/Land, or any other amusement park? What do they prefer to do at them: go on the rides, play the games, eat the food? she's been to disneyland twice in her life, and to a few other, smaller amusement parks a few times as well. mostly she likes to go to these kinds of things for the rides and games; she can get quite competitive in trying to get the prize she wants, and well, the rides are just fun.

14. How do they eat their popcorn? What do they put on it? claire tends to eat her popcorn plain, maybe with just a little bit of salt on it if anything. she's not big on butter or all those seasonings that are out there.

15. When do they pay their bills? As soon as the bill comes in? At the last moment? Or are most of their bills automatically taken out of their account? claire has her bills set to be automatically taken out of her account, not because she doubts her ability to remember to pay them on time (she prides herself on never forgetting deadlines) but just because it's one less thing on her mind.

16. What time do they normally go to bed? How many hours of sleep do they usually need to function in the morning? she normally tries to get to bed between 10 and 12 o'clock, although she tends to have a hard time falling asleep most nights. still, she typicallly gets around five or six hours of sleep, although she can function on less than three (no less than two, though), and has on more than one occasion --- it just requires A LOT of coffee.

17. Do they have cable, or do they rely mostly on Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services? claire doesn't see the point in investing in cable, given how rarely she actually watches tv. she does have a netflix account, and tends to use it for the majority of her tv/movie viewing pleasures. 

18. What is their preferred weather? What would be a perfect weather day? if there's one thing claire loves about wasington, it's the constant overcast and regular rain. she's not big into sunny and hot days, as she doesn't like running the risk of a sunburn or sweating profusely when just sitting there doing nothing --- but she's not the biggest fan of freezing temperatures, snow and ice, all that lovely stuff either. so the somewhat dreary weather that seems to surround her hometown is perfect for her.

19. Are they more of a snacker throughout the day, or they eat three meals and call it a day? neither, really; she's the 'maybe eat one or two meals a day and call it done' kind of girl. once she gets her eating habits back on track though, she opts for more snacking/small meals in lieu of the traditional three meals, as it's suggested to better contain appetite and to be the healthier route. 

20. Have they ever had an imaginary friend? no; at least, not that she can remember. she was more of the 'pretend my dolls and stuffed animals are alive' kind of girl.

21. What were they a part of in high school/college, if they went? Were they a part of any clubs, did they play any sports? What clique would they have been considered a part of? claire doesn't really do any types of clubs, her only real activity being her dance; she takes lessons at the local studio, and partipates in competitions across the nation. because of how much time her training takes, it doesn't leave a lot of time for other extracurriculars. in regards to cliques, she's kind of part of her own litle clique formed up of friends from dance class; but if you wanted to type case them, they'd probably fit into the artsy/theater kids stereotypes, especially since a good majority of them are part of the school's drama program.

22. Do they have a favorite restaurant? How often do they go to it, and what’s their usual order? her all-time favorite restaurant is probably this little thai restaurant up in port angeles. whenever she's in the city, she allows herself a splurge day to eat out there, ordering a different dish everytime. it's a very rare opportunity she actually gets to eat there, just because she doesn't go into the city very often. her second favorite restaurant, where she actually does it fairly regularly, is the forks diner; it's proven to be a perfect settlemet for her and quil as they offer a wide selection of healthier options for herself, while also offering some of his favorites. she'll normally order a veggie burger and a salad, although sometimes she likes to mix it up.

23. How do they prefer to watch movies? In the theater, on a streaming site, from an owned DVD/digital download, rented from somewhere? honestly, she doesn't have much of a preference, although at home is usually the way to go, either from a dvd or something she's found on netflix. it has to be a really good movie for her to want to go see it in theaters. there's just something a bit more comfortable about watching at home, with her own snacks, no crowded theatres, being able to talk to whoever she's watching with and make commentary on the movie. plus with the shit that's coming out nowadays, she can't justify paying to go see most of it in theatres.

24. Do they watch any sports? What are they a fan of, and what teams do they root for? Do they watch the games/matches on TV or do they try to be there for some in person? Do they just catch the highlights on their phone later on? claire's not a big sports fan; in fact, she's not even a little sports fan. she finds them quite boring to be perfectly honest, and can't be bothered to waste her time watching them, save the occasional school football or basketball game (and even then, she mostly just goes to hang out with her friends, and pays little attention to the game). 

25. What do they prefer to do in the summertime? Do they like going to the beach, do they prefer camping, staying in the city? Do they like to stay indoors and away from the heat? claire likes to keep busy in the summertime, mostly by doing a bit of travelling, and then outdoors activity; she's constantly talking quil or one of the other guys into joining her for hikes, jogs, cliff-diving, going to the beach, swimming, etc. her evenings are usually spend just relaxing on the porch with her friends, maybe playing some games or something, and the occasional bonfire & cook out.
