Fifth part, and longest one yet. Some of it was written with the first batch, some today. Includes a personal bit at the start.

As always, badly edited, blah blah blah, I’m going to crawl into bed right now. Hope you enjoy it.

I used to be the tight one The perfect fit Funny how those compliments can Make you feel so full of it

I had seen the box a few times and asked about it.

It was a late winter evening of 1992 and my father had arrived home from work. He went to the small room where he stored his tools and radio materials, took out the blue cardboard box with a checkered pattern, and placed it on the living room’s table, right by the curtained windows.

“Do you want me to teach you?” He asked.

I wanted to learn everything at that age, so I ran up to the table and took a chair in front of him as he took out from the box a thick, sturdy board that folded in the middle. He opened it with a click, revealing two sets of wood chess pieces encased between foam. He took them out one by one, and I watched with fascination as he put them on the open board, listened intently while he told me their names and what they did.

They had magnets on the base, and they stuck to the squares with a satisfactory ‘clack.’

When the preliminary explanations were done, he put the white pieces in front of me and said, “You begin.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because white always goes first.”

“But why?”

“It’s how it is.”

I didn’t think it was fair, because back then I still thought in terms of fair and unfair.

“Black can never go first?”

“No, it’s always white.”

I thought in less impolite words that that was bollocks, but kept it to myself. The white pieces looked like white chocolate, but the dark ones were much prettier. It just wasn’t fair.

But getting hung up on that wasn’t going to help me change the rules of the world or the game, so I moved a pawn with resignation.

We played a few matches in the next hours. I lost a lot, and eventually forced a draw. My mother looked every now and then from her reading spot on the armchair, leaving us to our own.

I remember being completely absorbed in my own thoughts, off in my little world, where only a chessboard existed, and unaware of the time as only kids can be. I remember moving one last piece thinking that surely he’d find a way to escape from it, because he always did. But after my move, he stayed quiet for a few seconds looking at the board, then looked at me and said, “You have to say ‘checkmate.’”

I didn’t realize what he meant, even though I had heard it a few times the previous hours. “Why?”

“I can’t move my king anywhere.” He signaled over the board all the paths available, and how I could take his piece no matter what he did. “You win.”

I thought that that wasn’t fair either, because maybe I wouldn’t have seen the opportunity to take his king. Maybe when my turn came I would have been distracted and done something silly and let the king escape.

A wave of disappointment washed over me, too, when I realized that if I had won, it hadn’t been playing seriously.

But I didn’t say any of that. I repeated, “Checkmate,” feeling down and absolutely convinced that he had let me win.

My mother looked up from her magazine and at my father, and the two shared a long look in silence. I was dejected and didn’t pay them any mind. I just had wanted to win fair and square, and if it couldn’t be, it couldn’t be.

Twenty years later, I found out through my mother that my father had, in fact, not gone easy on me.

This, along with my absolute ineptitude to make friends my age, was one of the catalysts that made the director of my preschool suggest my parents that they transferred me to a place more suited for me. They refused. But in turn, that director made sure that two years later I got admitted to the best school in the vicinity.

I wondered for many years what might have happened if they had transferred me, even held some resentment towards them that I was stuck in a place where I did not belong for so many years.

But when I found a place to belong, only curiosity remained.

Japan did not have schools for gifted children. In fact, the teachers tried very hard not to single out students in order to instill a sense of community. The group was prioritized above individual needs, and while that worked for many, it did not for Yu.

This translated to a very bored kid during class, and a very busy one in the afternoons, when he took private lessons that did grab his interest. Yu had very little free time, and that only added to his sense of superiority regarding his classmates, because he had more ~important~ things to do than hanging out after school or playing video games.

But he was still a kid, and he was personable with the people he trusted. He could have had friends if he hadn’t been a smug little shit that looked down on everybody he didn’t respect.

Sometime during my first year of school in this world, prompted by one of his extracurricular teachers, Yu had penned an essay on the influence of Chinese poetry in Japanese literature and submitted it to a contest. It won. And when word came out that it was the work of an eleven year old kid, everybody doubted him. There was much questioning and prodding, because that had to be the doing of an adult, surely his parents or a teacher had helped him, surely he had copied it from some publication.

Yu coped with these accusations as any kid would: badly and with a wounded pride.

He was sitting at the desk in his room, alone, when I happened to pass by, and in a fit of rage he tore off a bunch of papers from his notebook, crumpled them, and violently threw both pages and notebook into a trashcan with a frustrated groan.

“Yu?” I asked quietly.

He turned around slowly and beet red at being caught acting like that.

“W-what?”

“Are you—” No, I wasn’t going to ask a stupid question that was sure to tick him off. “You are not okay,” I said.

The fact that he didn’t praise my observational skills to get under my skin was as telling as a verbal reply.

I crossed my arms and leaned my shoulder against the doorframe, waiting for him to say something else.

The embarrassment diminished just enough to reply, “Is there even a point to this?”

“A point to what?”

“A point to—” He gestured towards the desk, the trashcan. “Why do my best when nobody will believe it’s my work?!”

I had never heard him raise his voice in the time I’d known him. I didn’t think anybody at home had.

But the rumor mill had been at work for a few weeks already. It wasn’t like him to react that way and so late. There had to be something else. “Did something happen?”

“Mother said a variety show was interested in interviewing me.” He huffed and pushed up his glasses as he started to pace around, a way of burning energy that threatened to come out of his mouth instead. “A variety show,” he repeated with disgust. “They are not interested in my work at all. They just want to show the child prodigy, cast more doubt on me in front of a camera, then cast me aside in favor of the next shiny thing.”

“Well, yeah,” I replied. “But is that so bad for you?”

Yu stopped moving and looked at me like I had grown a second head. “Do you want me to get embarrassed on national TV?”

“But you don’t know if that will happen.”

He contemplated what I said for a few seconds.

“I can’t know that it won’t, either.”

“You could take it as a chance to make yourself known. Talk to them like you talk to father when you discuss philosophy. It’s not the general public you need to charm, it’s the scholars.” I shrugged. “Know your target audience.”

He stared hard at me, but he didn’t seem completely unreceptive to the idea. “When did you become a marketing expert, sister?”

Little did he know that I had spent four years working at a marketing company.

“It’s just an idea,” I said. “Anyway, can’t you say you don’t want to go?”

“Mother already accepted.” He shook his head. “But it is like you said. I should be looking at this from another angle.” A pause. “Do you honestly think I’ll do well?”

“I do,” I answered sincerely. “And I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it.”

“I know. That’s why I’m asking you, not mother.”

I smiled a little at that. “That’s me. Always pointing out uncomfortable truths when no one else would.”

It seems that this had also been a trait of Satori’s, so I was safe from suspicion on that account.

“I appreciate your support,” he said, looking calmer and walking to the trashcan to fish out the notebook. The crumpled papers remained there, though. “Yes, I think I will be able to do this.” He said more for his benefit than mine. “Thank you, Satori.”

My smile faltered a little upon hearing the name.

“Anytime, baby bro.”

He returned the pet name with a glare. “Hush. Close the door on your way out. I don’t want any interruptions.”

“Yes, sir,” I replied, slipping out and almost closing the door before he stopped me.

“Satori.” He did not lift his eyes from his writing, and he spoke in a monotone, as if wanting to detach himself from what he was saying. “Do you ever feel like everybody takes your accomplishments for granted? That you don’t have any margin for error?”

He was detaching himself from the questions because Yu was a rational person, and as such, feelings ought not to be paid any attention. They were irrelevant, and yet they were eating at him.

Something sank in the pit of my stomach as I processed what he had said; a very familiar fear that had accompanied me for many years and I’d never been able to shake off.

It’s not fair, I found myself thinking again, that a kid had to endure this kind of pressure.

And any words of consolation would be cheap, and Yu was far too smart not to see through a weak attempt at comfort.

“All too often,” I said, and then I remembered a conversation shared a year ago. “But what matters is that you are satisfied with what you do. If others think less of you because of it it’s their problem, not yours. Easier said than done, I know.”

It didn’t feel like a conversation I should have been having with a middle school kid, but then again, few with him did.

He looked up for a moment, and, apparently satisfied, nodded and went back to work.

I understood then that Satori hadn’t been the only lonely kid in the family.

A month later, when I looked at the new school uniform lying on my bed, I still had trouble believing what was happening.

I also had trouble believing that somebody had thought it was a good idea to dress students in clothes these eye-searing, but I took consolation in knowing that it was better than the boy’s uniform. One thing was for sure: Meiou had to be a damn good school, because nobody was choosing it for the uniforms.

The next day, when I first went to school, I felt like a cosplayer dressed in a mix of crimson-rose red with yellow accents and black knee-high socks. I hated those socks. They kept slipping down, and I’ve never been a fan of showing my knees.

My parents hurried me into getting ready, and we took the train to the neighboring city while my little brother made a smartass comment about being abandoned in favor of the older child. I was the mature one, so I stuck my tongue out at him when no one else was looking.

The commute from home to Meiou took an hour. I saw some other students in the car with their parents, but they kept to themselves, and I spent that time dealing with my mother’s attempts to tame my hair, and trying not to think too much of what waited for me at school. As Hagiri had so eloquently put during our first meeting, during middle school I was the girl who lost her memory. Here, my reputation didn’t precede me, although, to be fair, I was the odd kid that was starting high school at fifteen instead of fourteen.

I remembered my high school years. The last two were much better than the previous years, but that was because I transferred. Some say those are the best years of one’s life. You couldn’t pay me enough to go back.

I was not a teenager anymore, though, so my outlook was not quite as dramatic as it had been back then, and I took my situation with a mix of resignation and curiosity at what I’d face.

The nagging thoughts that I had spent nearly two years in this world and made no progress regarding my situation chose that moment to resurface, and I stomped on them as hard as I could because this was decidedly not the time to sulk. There was plenty when I was by my lonesome.

The school grounds of Meiou were something from another world for me, an uncultured swine who in my previous life had only gone to schools in the bad parts of town. Even as a semi-private school kid, the facilities I’d seen had never even come close to these. I parted ways with my parents at the entrance, where they were led to the school gym, while older students showed us newbies the way to our classrooms.

In our homeroom, we were seated in alphabetical order. It landed me on the second row, not before my name got called wrong and I was confused for a boy. The teacher made an annotation on his list and proceeded to mangle the names of several more students with imaginative parents.

After that, the rest of the day was spent in a school-wide assembly where we went back to our parents and the director made some generic speech about the value of hard work and group unity, and honestly, I stopped paying attention halfway and entertained myself watching the other families. Judging by other students’ faces, I was not alone in my boredom, but the parents seemed to be unanimously ecstatic. There were a lot of pictures, a lot of speeches, and I think I saw a few parents cry, to the dismay of their children. I don’t think I fully realized until that day how important it was to get into a good high school.

Then the day was over, and we went back home. While my mother went with Yu to ask him how his day had been, my father called me aside.

“Satori, can you come here a moment?”

“Yes?”

I wasn’t sure what to make of his request.

In the time we had been living together, I had learned that he wasn’t a very open person, and the longer I’d heard him talk was when he was taking job calls or when discussing with Yu a topic of interest. He was a knowledgeable, stoic man, and though he wasn’t the most affectionate parent, he gave off a vibe of silent protector of the family. That was why his words surprised me so much, and why to this day I can’t forget how much they got to me.

“I know these years have been very hard on you, but I want you to know that your mother and I are very proud of what you’ve accomplished today. I must confess that we were worried about your attitude, but the way you’ve worked these past two years… your studies, your behavior at home…” He made a pause, looking worried, trying to find the proper words. “I’m sorry that we were so hard on you. When you were in that accident, your mother and I nearly lost our world.”

I swallowed a knot in my throat. “You’d still have Yu.”

“Both of you are our world. It can’t be as long as one of you isn’t in it.”

I knew these words weren’t for me. And maybe because of it, or despite it, my eyes began to water.

“I always knew you had this fight in you. No parent could ask for a better daughter.”

And with a light pat and a squeeze of my upper arm, he gave me a reassuring smile and left the room.

Left me thinking that, even if he had told me something that I’d needed to hear all my life, the one who needed to hear those words the most wasn’t here, and nobody but me knew.

I took out the chessboard Yu and I used sometimes and set to arrange the pieces in their squares, something mechanical to keep my mind from drifting to places where I did not want it to be, and a habit from my childhood that I had nearly forgotten.

The board wasn’t magnetized, so the satisfying ‘clack’ sound that meant everything was locked in its rightful place was missing.

The next day, class began for real, and to be honest, the routine was pretty much the same as in middle school. The biggest differences for me were the length of the commute and that I didn’t know anybody, but neither bothered me. I actually enjoyed having some time to myself every morning to think and read. As for the second part, well, I wasn’t a very social person. Acquaintances would come in time, perhaps.

And one of the first steps towards that was joining a club. It wasn’t mandatory, but not participating in any extracurricular activities was frowned upon, and this time I did want to start on a good note with the faculty.

If my old middle school had only had a handful clubs, Meiou was the exact opposite. When the bell rang and I headed outside, the clubs had set up tables near the entrance and its members were recruiting in full force, jumping every freshman they spotted.

It was easy to pick us out. We all had the same lost faces and did the same double take when we saw the amount of clubs to choose from. I counted at least seven sport clubs (soccer, baseball, track, basketball, swimming, judo, kendo and freaking archery, and even I felt tempted to join one of the last three because they looked so cool and girls we allowed to be something else than managers), brass band, shogi, chemistry, calligraphy, biology, hanafuda, art… I had no clue how they maintained a decent membership to stay open, but then it clicked that this was probably why the recruiters were so aggressive.

And I, like a dumbass, got caught in the crossfire.

A very spirited student stepped in front of me as I approached the table of the gardening club, because I had figured that I should stick to what I began two years ago. She wore her hair in two long pigtails and had a blindingly white smile that could put a car seller to shame.

“You look like a girl who can sew!” She said.

“Ah, yes, but I was going to—”

“Here, why don’t you take a look at this?” She shoved a pink and blue pamphlet on my nose. A teddy bear in a filly dress smiled at me. “We’re the handicrafts club! Here we meet to sew cute things and clothes! Have you ever sewed you own clothes? It’s—”

“Emi, stop intercepting every girl you see, she was coming to us!”

One of the guys from the gardening club had stood up, seething, and slammed his hands on the table.

“Aw, do you seriously want such a cute girl to be lifting dung bags every day after school?”

“It’s fertilizer.”

While the flattery was appreciated, that was exactly what I had planned to do. “I was in the gardening club in middle school, too.”

“See? She’s ours!”

“Shut up, Yasu!” Emi spat at him, and the turned to me with a complete shift in demeanor. “All the more reason to try something different! Widen your array of skills! You already know how to water a plant, so why not learn how to sew plushies? Knit a fluffy scarf?”

She made a great case. I liked sewing, and a decade of making my own cosplays had helped me learn, not that I was going to say that to her. My cosplaying hobby was to stay firmly locked up in my past, where no one could ask which characters I had cosplayed. Awkward.

But gardening. My cacti. My thorny bushes. My newfound skill of not murdering unsuspecting greenery. What was I going to do without them?

“Hey, do you like anime?” Another student shouted at me from a different table. “Come watch and discuss with us!”

The girl’s tone shifted again. “Go away, this is between Yasu and I!”

“Yeah, find someone else to convert to your cult!” Yasu looked at me in the eye. I looked away because I found it very uncomfortable. He didn’t reek of charisma like his competitor did, but he sounded passionate, if slightly constipated when he spoke. “Come to us! We’ve got a greenhouse and we’ve been promised a corner of the school grounds—”

“The greenhouse is shared with biology and botany and home economics, and you aren’t going to get any—”

“Well you don’t have a club room either, you share with hana—”

“Don’t tell her, you twit!”

I watched the exchange in silence, with the pamphlet of the smiley bear in my right hand, wondering if it was too late to turn around and learn about flower arrangements instead. My blank face must have been indicative of my thoughts, because they hurried to reassure me to stay, and suddenly neither of them looked so confident. I noticed that there were another boy and girl, respectively, sitting behind their club tables with second-hand embarrassment.

“Please!” Emi suddenly, begged, bowing and putting her hands together in a praying gesture. “There are only two of us! The guys from the hanafuda club will kick us out of the room if we don’t get more members!”

“Don’t try to guilt-trip her! We’re only three and you don’t see us doing the same!”

Ouch.

“Look! We only meet on Mondays and Fridays! The gardening guys can have you the rest of the time! It’s okay if you skip meetings too! I’m begging you!”

Yasu was taken aback by her outburst. “E-Emi—”

Mirroring Yasu’s earlier actions, she slammed a hand on her own table, making the other girl jump. “Don’t you want to keep your club alive by any means? Then this is how you fight for it!”

He seemed to have a revelation in that instant.

All this intensity made me think I had stepped into a shonen manga.

…Wait.

“You’re… You’re right.” He said quietly. “There’s nothing more important than the club. Hanging onto my foolish pride won’t get me anywhere!”

“President…” Said the boy beside him in awe.

This was not happening.

“I’m begging you too!” Yasu told me. “We meet on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, but there’s usually someone around every day anyway. Feel free to come anytime you please!”

He held out an inscription sheet at me. Emi followed his example and did the same.

“We’ll be in your debt forever!” Emi insisted.

I was weak, and it’s really difficult to say no to a begging kid, let alone two who had teamed up.

In a rare outburst, my father laughed when I told him what had happened, but Yu and my mother didn’t take it so well. Being in more than one club wasn’t encouraged usually – commitment to one is what looked best on college applications. I didn’t want to think about college yet, though. One step at a time. Just knowing I’d have to go through high school and entrance exams again, and that I’d signed away my life for three years with these many commitments was overwhelming enough.

Besides, there was always the possibility that I’d go back to my old life as spontaneously as I’d come into this one, but I didn’t count on it, and I certainly didn’t want to replicate the circumstances to try. My best bet to get info at the moment was killing myself to be picked up and shipped to the Spirit World, and for obvious reasons, I discarded it.

It would be a long time before I had a chance to come in contact with people who could help, so for the time being, I needed to be patient and try not to mess up any more lives. I was confident that my appearance in this world was so marginal to the main plot that it wouldn’t have much relevance when all was said and done.

I was also aware that my confidence was didn’t have a very solid foundation, but I didn’t want to stress test it yet, in case it crumbled. I had other things to look forward to, in the meantime.

100 this or that

1. Coffee or tea? I don’t drink coffee so I’m gonna say tea even though I’m not too fond of tea either. It smells great but tastes like a disappointment. 2. Black and white or color? color 3. Drawings or paintings? paintings 4. Dresses or skirts? both are cute 5. Books or movies? I feel like I have to say books because it’s the more cultivated thing to enjoy but during these last few years I’ve only read a handful of books but watched weeks’ worth of tv shows. I do value literature slightly more as an art form, but I’ve come to notice that you can watch a bad film in 2 hours and laugh it off but a bad book is a prolonged disappointment. 6. Pepsi or Coke? I don’t drink either 7. Chinese or Italian? Chinese. As a European, Italian food is really just “food”, although pizza and pasta are kind of the backbone of my diet so... fuck it, changing my answer to Italian. Also gelato is life. 8. Early bird or night owl? night owl all the way 9. Chocolate or vanilla? depends, but if this is about ice cream, vanilla it is 10. Introvert or extrovert? I’m somewhere in between, slightly on the introvert side 11. Hugs or kisses? What is a kiss without a hug? 12. Hunting or fishing? Fishing 13. Winter or summer? Summer 14. Spring or fall? Fall, or as I like to call it, autumn 15. Rural or urban? Urban, with a profound presence of nature. I need to be able to walk in a forest by a lake or a river whenever I want, but if I see a tractor, I’ve walked too far. 16. PC or Mac? PC 17. Tan or pale? pale 18. Cake or pie? pie 19. Ice cream or yogurt? is anyone seriously going to say yogurt when ice cream is a choice? 20. Ketchup or mustard? I don’t use either 21. Sweet pickles or dill pickles? I don’t like pickles 22. Comedy or mystery? Mystery 23. Boots or sandals? Boots 24. Silver or gold? Silver’s prettier for jewellery 25. Pop or Rock? rock 26. Dancing or singing? singing 27. Checkers or chess? chess 28. Board games or video games? video games 29. Wine or beer? wine 30. Freckles or dimples? dimples 31. Honey mustard or BBQ sauce? BBQ 32. Body weight exercises or lifting weights? body-weight 33. Baseball or basketball? basketball, although this is trivial since I don’t care about sports 34. Crossword puzzles or sudokus? crossword puzzles 35. Facial hair or clean shaven? clean, unless you can grow a proper beard 36. Crushed ice or cubed ice? Is this what The Shape of Water is about? 37. Skiing or snowboarding? skiing (perkele) 38. Smile or game face? I’ve seriously got no idea what you’re referring to 39. Bracelet or necklace? necklace 40. Fruit or vegetables? fruit, mainly because that includes berries

41. Sausage or bacon? Sausage. Bacon’s only really good when it’s crisp. 42. Scrambled or fried? Eggs, as a meal, are not a part of my life so I’ve got no opinion 43. Dark chocolate or white chocolate? Dark 44. Tattoos or piercings? tattoos although I don’t really care about either 45. Antique or brand new? that depends on the overall aesthetic but generally speaking I slightly prefer antique to modern 46. Dress up or dress down? up 47. Cowboys or aliens? why is this a juxtaposition that exists? 48. Cats or dogs? CATS 49. Pancakes or waffles? Pancakes 50. Bond or Bourne? Never seen Bourne 51. Sci-Fi or fantasy? no preference 52. Numbers or letters? An interesting question. We mainly communicate with letters, but on the other hand, understanding abstract numbers has been an important factor in developing complex language. Also, there can only be as many letters as there are possible phonemes, but there are an infinite amount of numbers. 53. Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Harry Potter 54. Fair or theme park? theme park 55. Money or fame? Money. I’d like my name to be known for what I’ve achieved, but I wouldn’t want my face to be constantly recognised on the street. 56. Washing dishes or doing laundry? dishes 57. Snakes or sharks? sharks 58. Orange juice or apple juice? Apple juice. Orange juice is my #1 enemy and I WILL fight it given the chance. 59. Sunrise or sunset? Sunset, although there’s something magical in staying up till the sun rises on a summer night. 60. Slacker or over-achiever? I somehow manage to slack while over-achieving. 61. Pen or pencil? Pencil 62. Peanut butter or jelly? Both of these seem like very American things to enjoy. Neither of them is a part of my life. 63. Grammys or Oscars? I don’t keep track of either 64. Detailed or abstract? Both are beautiful 65. Multiple choice questions or essay questions? As much as I prefer drawing a few circles to writing a multiple-page coherent academic text, I have to say that I’d rather have my grade depend on my writing skills than on my ability to choose the least wrong answer and detect trick questions 66. Adventurous or cautious? Somewhat on the cautious side 67. Saver or spender? saver 68. Glasses or contacts? I don’t really have firsthand experience on either so I can’t say 69. Laptop or desktop? Laptop 70. Classic or modern? I slightly prefer classic but modern’s also great (and actually better when it comes to literature) 71. Personal chef or personal fitness trainer? chef 72. Internet or cell phone? internet (I don’t really get the question since the two have pretty much been in symbiosis for the last 10 years) 73. Call or text? text 74. Curly hair or straight hair? I like natural hair. Chemically straightened or curled hair looks kinda ugly. 75. Shower in the morning or shower in the evening? Over the years, my position has changed several times. Currently, I’m an evening showerer because it grants me 15 more minutes to procrastinate getting up in the morning. 76. Spicy or mild? Mild but not bland 77. Marvel or DC? I don’t care about comics but the few Marvel movies I’ve seen have been funny. The Dark Knight trilogy was also great though so I’ve got to give some points to DC 78. Paying a mortgage or paying rent? what is this adult language, I’m but a wee baby 79. Sky dive or bungee jump? Never tried either but I feel like skydiving would be more my thing 80. Oreos or Chips Ahoy? only had oreos 81. Jello or pudding? another question that feels very American 82. Truth or dare? Truth. 83. Roller coaster or Ferris wheel? Roller coaster 84. Leather or denim? denim 85. Stripes or solids? solids 86. Bagels or muffins? I’ve only ever had sweet muffins so they don’t really compare 87. Whole wheat or white? whole wheat 88. Beads or pearls? I’m not really sure what the difference is since they’re the same word in Finnish but it seems beads come in many varieties and pearls are just... pearls. So beads it is. 89. Hardwood or carpet? hardwood. Carpet flooring is not a thing in Finland nor should it be anywhere. 90. Bright colors or neutral tones? Neutral 91. Be older than you are or younger than you are? I’m torn between being a few years older to better connect with all the interesting people in my life and experiencing certain things about my early teens again/in a different way 92. Raisins or nuts? nuts 93. Picnic or nice restaurant? both have their time and place. 94. Black leather or brown leather? brown 95. Long hair or short hair? whatever looks cute on you 96. “Ready, aim, fire” or “Ready, fire, aim”? yeah I wonder 97. Fiction or non-fiction? fiction is art, non-fiction is just otherwise interesting and important 98. Smoking or non-smoking? non-smoking 99. Think before you talk or talk before you think? think before you talk 100. Asking questions or answering questions? Answering. I live off of getting to tell things about myself.

Literature is lit my dude. 6. Pepsi or Coke? - Raised with Pepsi, but slowly transitioning to Coke. 7.

Comedy or mystery? - Comedy, unless the mystery is more like a psychological thriller where you think you know what’s going on but then you’re figuring out new things as you go and you’re all confused at the end? ‘Cause those are my faves. 23. Boots or sandals? - Boots, 112%. 24. Silver or gold? - Silver, goes better with my skin tone. 25. Pop or Rock? - Both? 26.
