1) Who was your most irritating teacher?  This woman called Ms Priti I had in Year 7. She was supposed to just be a literature teacher, but also had to teach this odd mandatory life and health class. She clearly never read the syllabus but acted like she knew it all. I remember this one time in particular we were learning about nutrition, and whenever she asked for an example of a food containing a particular thing, I’d try to give lesser known answers. She said I was stupid and “shouldn’t believe everything I read on the Internet” when I told her that nuts had protein in them and that leafy green vegetables contained iron... seriously. Cuffed me on the head for saying so too.

2) What language do you want to learn the most?  Cantonese. It feels shitty to not be able to speak it around my relatives.

3) Where would you want to live for the rest of your life?  At home. Yeah, I’m boring.

4) If you’re dumped into your favorite piece of fiction, what role would you adopt and how would your life turn out?  Uhhh I’d probably just die lmao

5) Favourite Pokemon?  Hoo boy... That’s a tough one. I love Luxray; it looks and sounds kickass, and I remember being so proud of mine when I played Pokemon Diamond. In terms of nostalgia though, Torchic and Crobat are my faves, because Torchic was my first starter and Crobat was the first Pokemon I evolved via Happiness, which made me very attached to it haha. Dunsparce is also ridiculously cute.

6) Which are worse, spiders or mosquitoes?  Mosquitoes. Not even a question.

7) If you do draw, what’s your favourite subject matter? If you don’t, what would you try to draw anyway?  Critters and OCs. I usually can’t draw the OCs though.

8) Favourite historical period?  Permian, because gorgonopsids and Dimetrodon, and Cretaceous, because dromaeosaurs.

9) Is there anything you want to do right now?  Stop my mind from obsessing over a situation I probably can’t salvage.

10) One dark fear?  Dying when I’m at university

11) Sea or sky? Sky

My questions:

1) Favourite song(s) to sing along to? 2) What are your prized possessions? 3) Favourite music genre(s)? 4) Which part of your day do you look forward to the most? 5) Favourite type of bird? 6) What topic do you want to learn more about? 7) Best memory of college/high school? 8) Favourite card game? 9) How long have you known your best friend/partner? 10) Do you believe in ghosts? 11) If you could wake up with new, fully formed skills, what would they be?
