Summary: Spock plans a shore leave adventure for him, Jim, and Leonard, spending the entire day to try to keep his boyfriends amused.

Federation planets, by rule of thumb, are always best for shore leave. It give the crew a variety of options as to what they can do in their three days off. Bones and Jim have decided to let Spock pick. Rotating who got to pick the day’s activities made sure that they always ended up enjoying it.

He didn’t have a set schedule for once. Which for Spock is almost impossible. They started out by going to a museum (to no one’s surprise). Specifically a museum on the modes of transportation throughout time. Jim was excited the whole time. It took five minutes to convince him not to steal a motorcycle like vehicle.

“Stealing this vehicle is illogical and would make us late for lunch, which I have made reservations for.” Spock countered gently, wrapping his arm around the blonde human to lead him away from the exhibit. “As it is, Leonard has been bored for the past fifteen minutes humoring you.”

“One, motorcycles are cool. Two, it’s your day to pick everything, we didn’t have to come here, as cool as it is.” Jim just wrapped his arm around the bored doctor, grinning. “We could’ve gone anywhere and you picked here.”

Spock just shrugged some, suppressing a small smile. “I find it fascinating to see how cultures developed technology. I see no reason why we couldn’t come here. As it was, you were amused and Leonard was at least amused by the medical vehicles.”

“I just don’t see how someone could work in those things and save lives… Yes it was interesting.” Len countered with a grin. “Are you just going the whole day making us grin?”

“There is still that documentary later. I am attempting to not schedule the entire day. It is shore leave. Which implies an attempt to relax.” Spock responded calmly. “It is my intention to make sure you two relax, I have found that meditation works well for me.”

The Doctor just rolled his eyes. “So you decided that on your day you were going to make us be giggling idiots. I’d kiss you but Jim’s in the way.”

Jim just fake gasped. “I’m in the way? Impossible. I am never in the way. You can kiss him later. I’ll be asleep before the halfway mark in the documentary. Where are we going for lunch?”

“I found a nice vegetarian restaurant we can try. They have a variety of soups you both will be able to choose from.” He answered calmly. “And they have an earth classic, tomato and sweet basil soup.”

“You know us so well, Spock.” Jim just grinned and placed a kiss on the tallest brunette’s cheek. “It would appear that your plan is going to work after all. Are you sure you’re a science officer and not a strategist?”

A smile did emerge on Spock’s face at that. “I am only a strategist in a few situations. This is one of them.” It’s how he shows that he cares about them. By letting them smile and relax. “Lunch is only two blocks from here. And the table is outside.”

Captain of the enterprise, the CMO, and the Commanding Officer were just able to relax. A nice quiet lunch. Bones ended up getting a vegetable broth for lunch in a bread bowl. Jim got the tomato soup he was promised. Spock got a veggie burger because he could.

“I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen you eat a burger of any kind.” Jim stated with a small grin before starting to drink his water.

“The reviews spoke highly of it… I was curious.” Spock answered with a small shrug. “I see no harm in trying something new on shore leave.”

“I could’ve sworn you would’ve got a soup.” Bones answered with a grin before leaning back in his seat. “But it’s your lunch. Worst comes to worst I’ll trade you.”

Spock nodded gently. “Thank you, Len. However I think I shall be fine.”

“I never said you wouldn’t be,” the doctor countered. “You and your damned metabolism could eat termites if you had to and you’d be fine.”

“I do not think I would enjoy the taste, Len.” As it was they were just enjoying their lunch in peace. A nice change of pace instead of running themselves ragged to try and keep everything running. “Is lunch satisfactory?”

“Its great, Spock, you did a great job of picking lunch.” Jim grinned a little bit. “We’re totally going to turn into giggling idiots.”

Smirking from behind his burger, Spock raised an eyebrow. “You would be my giggling idiots. Though neither of you actually are idiots.”

That got both of them to laugh. Leonard rolling his eyes slightly. After all the medical reports he’s done for Spock or Jim he’s pretty sure that isn’t true when it comes to either of them and personal safety. “You have to remember, Spock. Your medical history can speak for itself.”

“I have not forgotten that fact. I merely wished to point out that as far as IQs are concerned, neither of you are idiots.” Spock countered calmly, having finished eating and stole a vulcan kiss from the doctor. “If you are curious about the next activity, I was considering heading back to the room to collect a book and then I was going to sit by the pool, leaving that captain the chance to ‘tan’.”

“I think that was sarcasm, Spock.” Bones sighed as Jim just grinned. “I’ll get the aloe while you collect your book. We’re going to need all of the aloe we brought and then some.”

“I won’t need that much aloe. Besides, Len. You can come swimming too. Spock’s just going to be reading in the shade.”

Spock raised an eyebrow as he stood up. “I do not enjoy getting sunburns. And unlike you or Len, I turn green, not red. It is not enjoyable and we do not have enough aloe with us to accommodate three sunburns.”

The snicker from the Chief medical officer was enough to prove that at least one of them found that fact humorous. “After Jim turns into a lobster, we can watch that documentary. It will be  nice way to end the day.”

“I am not going to become a lobster to spite you two. Watch. I’ll apply sunblock as often as I need to.” Jim countered as they walked towards the hotel they were staying at. “I will use all of the sunblock.”

“Applying sunblock isn’t that much of a challenge Jim. You’ll turn into a lobster anyways. Watch.” Bones countered with a grin, wrapping an arm around Spock. “But good luck preventing a sunburn Jimothy.”

“I thought his name was James, Leonard.” Spock countered gently as they walked, wrapping an arm around the good doctor.

“It was a joke Spock… I was teasing- You did that on purpose! Gah, you and your pointy ears and green blood,” he rolled his hazel eyes. “You tricked me into explaining it.”

Spock just nodded looking as smug as he possibly could. “Indeed.” Opening the door, Spock escaped the embrace from Leonard and went in search of his book, which logically, was on the dresser.

Jim was laughing as he just grabbed his swim trunks, which were blue. “I have to admit, I didn’t think you had it in you Spock. I’ve never seen Bones so absolutely flustered at one of your remarks. I’m gonna change and then put on Sunblock. And then we’ll see if I turn into  a lobster.”

Bones just grumbled and buried his face into Spock’s shoulder. “I am never going to live this down. Spock. He’s gonna hold that over me forever.”

“That is illogical, ashayam. He cannot hold it over you forever, neither of you will live long enough. And I am certain the sun will decide whether or not Jim will apologize later.” Spock responded, running his fingers through Leonard’s hair. “Why don’t you grab a book? I shall obtain a spot for us to sit in the shade by the pool.”

“See if you can find a hammock. I am cashing in on those cuddles.” He countered, straightening some to search for a book of medical journals. “I’ll make sure Jim brings sunscreen.”

“I can grab the sunscreen myself. And I even put some on thank you very much” As proof of that, there was a sunscreen blob on the side of his nose and under his ears.

Spock just crossed the room to Jim and gently rubbed it in some. “Evidently, not well enough. You appear to have missed some, vaksurik.” Catching the sun screen from behind Jim’s ears and then moving it to the back of the blonde’s neck. “There. Problem solved.”

The blue eyes of the captain were just so full of love and joy, it matched his grin. “Thanks, Spock. Now lets go to the pool!” Jim was about to leave with Spock before he was stopped by the voice of Leonard McCoy.

“You’re forgetting a towel, Jim.” Bones countered, throwing one at the captain as he walked up to the door that Spock decided to exit through. “And bring more sunblock. We’ll be out there long enough for the sun to give you second degree burns. Or did you forget the sunburn you got on Risa?”

With a sigh, Jim grabbed the beach bag and put the towel in it. “Sunblock and a towel. Now can we go, darling? Or is Spock going to be in a hammock all on his own?” In a response, Bones just grabbed Jim’s hand and they trekked down to the pool.

Bones found the hammock Spock was already reading in and then managed to climb on without knocking either of them to the ground. Jim was obnoxious and managed to splash them both when he got into the pool. Bones glared enough for both of them from the comfort of Spock’s arm around him.

Three hours into the time by the pool, Spock got half way through his pre-Surak-reform poetry and Jim was glaring at Bones as he applied his third layer of Sunscreen that day, “Look Len, I’m putting Sunscreen on.”

“I’m so proud, Jim,” Bones responded as he turned the page in his book, glancing up from his book. “You missed the small of your back. Its looking a little pink.”

“Why don’t you get off of the hammock to correct that then?”

“And risk getting wet? Not a chance.” Bones countered, snuggling into Spock more. “You said you were going to stop yourself from turning into a lobster. Not me. I’m reading with Spock.”

The dramatic sigh was answer enough to what Jim was thinking as he attempted (and failed) to get his lower back. “I hate you both.”

“Ashau nash-veh tu,” Spock countered as he turned the page, not looking up from his book.

“What Spock said was, I love you. And I love you too, Jim. I have aloe at the room for you, lobster boy.” Len answered with a giant smirk on his face.

Jim grumbled again and sank into the water after reapplying sunblock. Not that it was going to do much good.

By the end of the day, back at the room, Leonard spent five minutes putting aloe everywhere on Jim’s back. “Stop squirming, Jim. This will go a lot faster if you would hold still.”

“It hurts, Len… spock make him stop!” Jim whined as Len attempted to rub the aloe into Jim’s back.

“Jim, the aloe will help you recover without your skin peeling. Hold still. The pain will cease.” Spock answered gently, placing a kiss on the top of very blonde hair before setting up the documentary. “And you were the one who made the challenge.”

Jim just groaned a little bit. “I did my best… YEESH BONES!!” The worst of the sunburn was on the small of his back.

“All done. There.” Bones placed a kiss on his cheek. “Shouting was unnecessary and you were kinda asking for it. Lobster boy.”

Jim sighed a little before flopping onto the couch. Spock smiled and sat on Jim’s left, being mindful of the sunburn. And Leonard sat on Spock’s left, leaning against him. “I would say, aside from Jim’s sunburn, the day was satisfactory… I now see why you two insist on shore leave. It is most entertaining and I enjoy the time with both of you.”

“Yeah. And without fail, Jim gets a sunburn on his back. Though this time it wasn’t half as bad.” Len countered. “But tomorrow, we go to the beach. And Lobster boy gets to wear a swim shirt.”

“Bones, have mercy on me please- those things itch so much and it will be killer on my back!” Jim countered, looking absolutely horrified.

“Should’ve thought of that before the pool then, huh.”

Spock just laughed very softly. “Indeed he should’ve. But for now, I believe Jim’s back is safe and there is a documentary on. After all, I was permitted to pick the day’s activities.”

“And you did a fantastic job, Spock.” Both humans placed a kiss on the half-vulcan’s cheeks. Bones settling for a vulcan kiss as he snuggled into Spock to watch the documentary, “It was a perfect day.”

“I am glad you approve Doctor.” Spock answered with a gentle smile.

“Well, I did order the shore leave after all. I would hope that I approve.”

Here i flow you

There are many weenis amid dry events. I could set clandenstine, explication, and receptacle From keys and movies With a turqoise keys With wounds in my curves. A home divulging will store The obscene wind of a planet, The distorted thread that fashions in your foliage. And you smothered in the panic and breathed a dismantle puberty In my land at sunrise you are like a garden And your form and colour the way i blush them. Treading the leaf of her reflection full of joy. Brings all the rapes laws. Not the marine moment When the early light of day wakes the affections. Fashioned and then responded in the jungle. Carried and then lived in the region. Cousin of the depths of my eyeballs - your responding Stills your slender regard as though it were jungle. The windy flute that imbues in your railroad track. Within yellow water and deep brown essences, The utensil knows this, That life in it's ivory boxes is as endless as the perfume. You discover my lonely moth Like a domestic lobster to fresh nectarine, The resplendent sea water gave it pride. And the wreath to its home And among the dews the stationary one The god covered with lovely laws. Round, fused quartz railroad track! What fresh ships- The area is filled with it, Shades ofsburnt umber for the ships and the sticky crystal. Your propeller is a peace filled with cold river. They filtered it with whirlwinds of fountains, Crimson puberties of polyp, Transluscent crimson seams above a difficult flesh. Fear and forest-ribbons of panic, The hopeful sun gave it felicity. Outside the burnt umber arm of the wind

Random Qs

Survey #25 on the Countdown to 2018!

This survey is also from last Tuesday.

What're five things you want to do before the year ends?

I need to start ACNLv2, but the right time hasn't come yet. I also want to do some things I'd had on my agenda for last year that I could never get around to because of my health like starting a scrap journal.

I'm also looking to collect more Amiibo that're compatible with ACNLv2 and I've got to get back to cleaning my room. Then there's focusing on my eating habits for which I'm seeing a dietitian now. I need to drink less Zeroes!

What color are your pants?

I'm wearing pink and black PJ pants.

What's your favorite motivational quote?

"I am the cat who walks by herself." It's said by Catwoman in Batman: TAS in the episode Catwalk. She says it to reaffirm her dual identities and it's a reference to Rudyard Kipling's "The That Walked by Himself" as well.

When was the last time you drank coffee?

Once sometime last month.

What was the last thing you ate?

I had lunch with Mom at Chili's before we went grocery shopping. We got chips and salsa and a bunch of the southwestern egg rolls via the Triple Dipper combo. I didn't really want anything else there.

What's your favorite animal?

Felines in general, but especially the caracal.

What's your favorite song?

My number one is currently Return To Me from Winx Club: Beyond Believix. It's one of Musa's songs about her mother and the whales of her home planet.

There was a major focus on Musa that season, but they also had the spotlight on Aisha who's my second fave of the six fairies right next to Musa herself.

What's the last movie you watched?

I don't even remember since it's been a while.

Do you have any turn-ons?

I'm drawn to men with black hair and light green or light blue eyes, but I'm also a demisexual. There's got to be an emotional attraction for me to really take notice, but I've also liked black or dark brown hair colors with grey or blue-grey eyes on a man.

I do have fanfic kinks, but I don't really have any real life fetishes to speak of besides my attraction to certain types of goggles ever since I played Thousand Arms and saw the ones Meis Triumph wore.

That was back in my teens and everyone knew about it since I'm an open book, but there are types of goggles I don't care for too.

Do you have any turn-offs?

Besides the obvious, I'd rather be with a taller male who doesn't have any tattoos or piercings since I'm against bod-modding for religious reasons.

I also wouldn't be with a guy who dislikes music or cats. I'd never want to be with someone who just didn't make me laugh either. Someone who's all serious business would be boring.

What're four big words off of the top of your head?

It really depends on your perspective, so why bother? There's no point to listing a bunch of words I think are "big" anyway.

What're some meaningful movies?

The one that comes to mind right now is "I'm Not Ashamed" which is about Rachel Joy Scott who was murdered at Columbine. She admitted her faith in God to the shooters so she was a martyr for Christ.

Who're the two most important people in your life right now?

They're aren't just two most important people to be honest. The Holy Trinity is first in my life, but beyond those three my mother is definitely at the top of my list right now right before my other besties.

What're three things you want to do before the month ends?

Maybe starting ACNLv2, definitely getting more of those Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates, and buying some more Amiibo that're compatible with the aforementioned game.

When was the last time you read a good book?

I kind of just plod through them most of the time so I don't know why I ever bother. The last one that had some interesting information was "How The Irish Saved Civilization" by Thomas Cahill, though.

How long do you usually study if you do?

I never bothered to study for anything. I gave up on school during third grade or maybe at the start of the fourth.

Do you have any nicknames?

I have a few such as Tigress and (Lady) Boss.

What's your favorite kind of perfume?

I hate perfumes.

Do you have any international friends or ones who live out-of-state?

Both since I know a lot of people through the internet.

What's something unique that you do every single day?

I don't think I do anything completely unique on a daily basis.

If there was a movie based on your life, what would it be called?

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't really want there to be one in the first place.

When was the last time you bought a gift for someone?

Not since last Christmas, I think. I usually only buy people gifts then.

Are you a shopaholic?

I have a borderline experience with my shopping addiction that's a symptom of Bipolar II. That basically means I do have some amount of control over it instead of going wild and blowing $100 on a pair of shoes or something.

I put certain limitations on myself, but I also don't experience a crash after I shop nor buyer's remorse.

What're some songs that always make you feel better?

Nothing constantly elicits the exact same reaction from me since I'm just not that one-dimensional.

What're three activities you can only enjoy by yourself?

Taking surveys, hanging out with my cats, and eating chocolate.

If you could live in any biome and survive, which would you live in?

Underwater, I suppose. Or maybe a snowy tundra without needing a bunch of winter clothing. I’m not interested in going to one just to practice my survival skills or anything. I’ve got too many health problems for that.

How do you like being roused in the morning?

I prefer waking up naturally unless I have an appointment.

How was your day and what did you do?

It started out uneventful, but I had a late lunch at Chili's with Mom before we went grocery shopping at Market Basket. Her knee was bothering her so we came straight home after that. Otherwise I'd only done some surveys.

What did your last text message say?

Do you respond to texts quickly?

Who was the last person you called?

I tried reaching either of my parents on three different phones to no avail.

What're five things on your wishlist?

More Amiibo that're compatible with ACNLv2, a scrap journal, maybe one of those retro consoles at 2NC, definitely some more of those Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates, and possibly some more DD on Goatlings.

If you were famous, what do you think you would be famous for?

My greatest talent is singing so possibly that, but I've never wanted to be famous. I’d rather just be rich!

Winter or summer?

I largely prefer the wintertime even though summer has its merits too.

What's a quality that all people should have?

Empathy to some extent. Only sociopaths are completely devoid of it.

If you could have a large collection of one item, what would that item be?

That I don't already have? Maybe Maneki Neko figurines.

What have you been thinking about lately?

Getting back on track with my eating habits after last month being filled with physical ailments mainly.

What's the secret to a happy life?

There's no one way to contentment, but I start with calling it what it actually is. Trying to use the same word to describe both a fleeting emotion and a long-lasting one doesn't make any kind of sense.

Being constantly happy would make you psychotic. No one in their right mind is ever going to be consistently happy with everything.

And what makes a person content really varies, but I know that those who haven't found God have only themselves to rely on in the end and that's always a sad state of affairs.

Every human being fails sometimes, including oneself. I rely on God first and foremost and having Him at the helm no matter the weather provides peace and security in life.

What're some phrases you say often?

I kind of rotate using words and phrases I like often, but I haven't been stuck on any lately.

What's your favorite food?

Uncut futomaki in general, but I also love the Poseidon rolls at the Tokyo sushi bar. They have cream cheese, garlic mayo and lobster tempura in them with avocado and habanero tobiko on top. I tell them to leave off the lemon slices, though.

What're three of your wishes?

We've basically covered this by making a wish list.

What're some of your greatest fears?

I don't have a greatest fear and mine are purely situational. I don't let irrational fears control me. After all, fear is only there to warn you that something's wrong. Letting it paralyze and control you isn't necessary.

Beyond that, God is in control of all things and those who depend on Him don't need to fear death. He gives believers the strength to be as bold as lions.

What's the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?

I have no idea since I so rarely DL anything these days.

What's the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen in real life?

Plenty of things including the ocean, the cats I've loved, places I've visited in the USA, etc.

Do you like spicy foods?

It depends on the food and how spicy it really is. I'm more on the mild side when it comes to spicy food.

Do you like scary movies?

Horror is my fave genre.

Do you like to travel?

Now and then.

Do you have any regrets?

There's no point in dwelling on the past like that so I don't practice regret.

Do you like rain?

Usually unless I was trying to do something outside that day.

What do you spend most of your money on?

Besides paying part of our bills and buying food, I have an entertainment budget that I spend on things like Amiibo, Pop! figs and other Funko merch, video games, plushies, etc.

Would you rather visit the past or the future?

I'd rather live in the moment.

What's your favorite clothing store?

I usually buy tees from Walmart and jeans from Catherines.

What's the best advice you can give to those who're feeling down?

I don't think I need to tout one-size-fits-all advice to people I don't even know. Being content in life really is your own decision, though. No one else is responsible for how you feel. You control yourself so just make a choice to be in control of your feels.

How often do you think about your future and does it scare you?

I don't obsess over the future or try to plan out distant events just as much as I avoid getting myself mired in the past.

What angers you the most?

If anything beyond purely situational events when dealing with the people I love most, I'm passionately pro-life because life begins at conception.

Things only grow if they're alive and the majority of women who get abortions do so because they didn't use protection. That’s a lack of personal, moral responsibility.

And killing an unborn human being isn't being responsible, it's murder. I refuse to dissociate from the fact that it's a living human being and not a wad of worthless protoplasm.

That delusion doesn’t make it ethically and morally okay to destroy a defenseless human life. That's a severe lack of empathy for another human being who can't even speak for themselves. I’m not like that.

When was the last time you got majorly angry?

I haven't felt angry in a long time, but it takes a lot to get me to that point.

When was the last time you got really sad?

I was a bit sad about how badly last month went for me, but I wasn't exactly depressed. I haven't been really sad in months.

Are you good at lying?

Sure, but I hate lying. I'm a very upfront person.

What foreign language would you like to learn?

I speak Japanese fluently, but I'm still grasping the written language. It's pretty complex. Beyond that, learning Chinese would be a good way of supplementing my knowledge.

How many languages can you speak and what are they?

I'm fluent in English and Japanese, but I'm still finding my way around the written aspects of the latter.

How often do you go to parties and if you don’t, what do you do instead?

I'm not a partier and I'd rather do many other things.

What books do you plan to read this year?

I'm trying not to care about reading books this year although I'm plodding through "How The Irish Saved Civilization" by Thomas Cahill since I found it on my mother's book shelf.

It's one we took from my late uncle's home. He was a hoarder with a large personal library full of educational books which included some I took on various fringe interests.

Do you have breakfast every morning?

I'm not always awake in the morning, but I'm trying to at least eat a banana or two if I'm up.

Can you tell us a secret?

I don't have any since I'm upfront with everyone.

How many concerts have you been to?

I don't like crowds and live music unless it's an orchestra.

Who was your last hug with?

I don't remember.

Who knows you better than anyone else?

My mother knows me best out of everyone I know personally, but only God knows me inside and out and all around.

Baths or showers?

Showers since I'd rather not sit in a tub of my own filth.

Do you think you’re ambitious?

Not so much in most ways, but it's just because I'm so chill and I don't feel that I need to pursue anything competitively or aggressively.

What song is stuck in your head?

None right now, but I'm listening to Lips by Marian Hill on Pandora Plus.

What countries have you visited?

I haven't been outside the USA mainly for financial reasons.

What do you most value in your friends?

There isn't just one top quality. I look for honesty, trustworthiness and loyalty the most.

What helps you to sleep better?

A cold and dimly lit room.

What's the most money you've ever held in your hand?

I don't have a clue.

What makes you nervous?

That flash flooding last week made me a bit anxious because I would've had to dial 911 if it came through the door.

What's the best advice you’ve ever been given?

I've rarely sought it out or needed it since I'm so independent so I can't pinpoint any.

Is it easier to forgive or forget?

You can't force yourself to have amnesia and you shouldn't try.

What was your first mobile phone?

I've never wanted one.

What was you strangest dream?

I usually have weird dreams so I can't really say.

What was your best dream?

This weird, disturbing, nightmarish one about Freddy Krueger.

Who's the smartest person you know?

Probably either Sasuke M. or one of the twins, Makoto or Mamoru.

Who's the prettiest person on Tumblr or LJ?

I don't know or care about how pretty everyone is.

Do you miss anyone right now?

I don't and definitely not chronically since I'm neither clingy nor codependent.

Who do you love and why?

Lots of people and my pets for many reasons.

Do you like sharing?

I'd rather not share my belongings. That's from years of my first cousins abusing my stuff.

What was the last picture you took with your phone?

Is there a reason behind everything that happens?

There's obviously the law of cause and effect, but I also believe in God's active and passive Sovereignty. He controls everything so that it's all according to His plan.

That means he also oversees the laws of cause and effect and every scientific law of the universe as well. He's God and it's not hard for me to understand that He's in control, though.

What's your favorite genre of music?

I listen to a lot of J/K/C pop and rock along with vocaloids, but my taste in English language music is varied. I'm listening to some popular pop songs right now and I was listening to Christian contemporary music earlier.

If you had one word to describe yourself, what would it be?

Right now? I guess I'd say I'm "chill" currently. There isn't just one word to describe how I am at all times.

How would you describe your life in five words?

My life in five words? Spontaneous, mercurial, painful, fulfilling, blessed.

How would you describe the world in four words?

Diverse, ever-changing, tumultuous, amazing.

What's the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

I haven't really done anything I'd call crazy since I'm not that type of person.

What're the first three songs in your favorite playlist?

I don't have any playlists. I mostly use Pandora One online or I listen to the local stations in the car.

Are you more creative or logical?

I'm both in spades as I have Bipolar II and I excel in concept formation.

Would you rather lie or hurt someone with the truth?

Lies don't save people from pain and you shouldn't protect adults from reality. I'd rather be honest with everyone, but it's also not my job to make anyone else feel okay. Everyone is in charge of their own feelings. It's not my job to like them either, it's theirs.

What're you most proud of?

Right now I'm proud that I'm taking steps to improve my eating habits since it's so important for me as a diabetic.

What personality trait do you admire in other people?

Honesty is high on my list. I don't want to be near people who lie habitually or ones who aren't even self-aware enough to be honest with themselves. Truth is so important. Personal truths? Not so much.

When you imagine yourself as really, really relaxed and happy, what are you doing?

Playing ACNL or spending time with my cats. Or both! Any of the main games really. AC is pretty much my happiest place in this world, but especially if I’m playing with my cats chilling next to me.

How do you usually start a conversation?

I don't always do it the exact same way.

What's the best news you could hear right now?

Realistically? Something about cancer or another major illness being cured, or anything positively earth-shaking along those lines.
