Do you listen to Wiz Khalifa?: >> I’ve never heard a Wiz Khalifa song in my life. What are your opinions on marijuana legalization?: >> Do it. How about abortion?: >> Keep it legal. Do you wear skirts or dresses more often?: >> I wear neither particularly often, because I get so used to wearing pants that I get stuck in a fashion rut and feel ungainly and out of my body when I step out of the rut. The last time I felt really okay in a dress was in New Orleans. Do you date outside your own race?: >> I date outside of reality, so in comparison race is small potatoes.

Are you gay, straight, bi, or trans?: >> No. Have you ever jumped off a cliff?: >> No. Are you vegetarian? If not, would you ever consider becoming one?: >> No. I was raised vegan, so I have the experience. I eat very little meat, but I don’t cut it out of my diet entirely. I’m just selective about where I get it from (and I have red meat like twice a year at best). Are you in love?: >> Always. In your opinion, who wants sex more, women or men?: >> LOL Do you play any sports?: >> L O L What’s your favorite planet?: >> Well, Mercury, of course. But visually, I’m going to go with Jupiter.

Do you know anyone in the marines?: >> No. What’s your favorite sex position?: >> Missionary by far, but I like some other things like... whatever it’s called when you sit astraddle the other person. Regardless, being that frottage is my favourite way of getting off, I’ll take any position that accommodates that. What do you ultimately wish for in life?: >> I don’t have a specific thing, idk. Got any family traditions?: >> Being terrible to children. *wheezing laughter with deadpan expression*  Have you ever been pregnant?: >> Briefly. What do you think about tipping at restaurants?: >> I prefer to do it. What’s something about you that people admire?: >> Well, let’s ask the audience... Are you single?: >> I have never been single a day in my life. #pluralityjokes When will you next see your best friend?: >> I “see” Can Calah all the time. I can see him right now.  Do you work out?: >> No. I try but I can never keep up with it. Like, I’ve never been so bored or hateful of anything in my life as I am of orchestrated exercise. Do you know anyone who’s been murdered?: >> No. Euthanasia - agree, disagree?: >> Legalise it. Do you laugh when you see kids on leashes?: >> I do laugh. They look kinda goofy like that.

Do you have your driver’s license?: >> No. Have you ever passed out from drinking?: >> No, just fell asleep real hard. What’s your favorite scent?: >> Hm. What kind of makeup do you wear?: >> The invisible kind. Can you whistle?: >> Nope. I think I’ve got the mechanics sort of down, finally, but I can’t get the sound going. Dogs or cats?: >> Dogs. How many close guy friends do you have?: >> Hunh. What are your views on organized religion? What are you?: >> I try not to have any views on organised religion. I mostly just have feelings (a lot of them not good, but also some good ones, because I am still fascinated by religion no matter how bad it’s been to me). I don’t subscribe to any of them, though. Describe your hairstyle.: >> There is no style. Do you have any piercings/tattoos? What?: >> I have my septum and earlobes pierced; a tattoo of 19 in Roman numerals, a Mannaz rune on my hand, and “scully, it’s me” on my inner arm. Sexually, would you say you’re more dominant or submissive?: >> I’m versatile but largely submissive. I like to be transported and I can’t be transported if I’m dominating the situation. What’s your favorite carnival food?: >> I don’t know. Who did you last kiss?: >> Can Calah. What do you think about Obama?: >> He was fun and charismatic and I liked watching him do things. Have you seen the final Harry Potter movie?: >> Yep. Have you or anyone close to you ever been arrested? For what?: >> I’ve known people who were arrested, yeah. Do you believe in karma?: >> No. I mean, maybe. But not really. If it exists, that’s cool. What was the last book you read?: >> I don’t remember the last book I finished, but the last book I read from was Dune. Opinions on Casey Anthony?: >> This survey just dated itself. Ever been called a slut?: >> Sure. Are you more of an extrovert or an introvert?: >> No. Do you have low self-esteem?: >> No. What state do you live in?: >> A state of dubious existence. Name a song that puts you in a good mood: >> The Greatest Show, from the Greatest Showman soundtrack. Do you know anyone with a physical deformity?: >> Probably. Have you ever been searched by the police?: >> Yes. Would you ever have sex with someone not of your preferred sex?: >> Yeah. What’s your bra size?: >> Man, I don’t remember. I wear sports bras exclusively. Have you ever dated someone more than 5 years older than you?: >> Yep. Do you want children in the future?: >> The possibility of this is so far into the future that there’s no real point in me thinking about whether I want them or not. By the time it’s a possibility, I’ll be a completely different person anyway. What’s your favorite fast food chain?: >> I don’t really have one. I just eat wherever. They all seem to have the same shit anyway. Who was your last text message from and what did it say?: >> Sparrow, but I don’t remember what it said and I don’t feel like checking. Do you keep a journal/diary?: >> I have a dreamwidth but I keep forgetting I have a dreamwidth. Where do you work?: >> I don’t. Would you ever get back together with any of your exes?:

When will you go to the beach next?: >> I don’t know. The only “beach” around here is a lake one and... well, I hope it’s more than I expect because that doesn’t sound all that epic. Have you ever seen a dead dolphin on the beach? I have. :(: >> No. Do you take any meds on a daily basis?: >> No. What’s your favorite flower?: >> Sunflower. What did you do today?: >> Well, I rolled around with Can Calah for a little while, and then I posted to Instagram, and then I poked around on the internet for a while, and then I took a shower, and then I watched The Greatest Showman, and then I went to return that to Redbox and came back, and then I thought I was gonna have a simple download of the new ESO expansion and then start playing it but the whole shit is just borked, a fucking disaster, I’m trying to download it again and hoping that it doesn’t shit the bed again but that all made me very upset, and now I’m here. What will you do tomorrow?: >> I don’t know. HOPEFULLY PLAY ESO SUMMERSET. GOD.

what is your middle name?: >> Frey. what’s your favorite lyric or quote?: >> *the ‘fear is the mind-killer’ litany floats through my head again* do you support abortion?: >> I support the right to get one if one chooses. last nightmare you had?: >> I really don’t remember. who was your first crush?: >> Well, Matt Damon, probably. Or Yul Brynner. I don’t know, I didn’t realise what crushes actually were until around middle school, and these two are from before then, so my memory is vaguer.

what is an annoying overused phrase?: >> “You are valid.” What does that even mean anymore? What am I going to do with that affirmation? Throw a party? what’s usually your last thought falling asleep?: >> I don’t know. The passage into sleep is such a nebulous and sneaky one that I can’t imagine how I’m supposed to figure out what my last thought was. Thoughts generally flow into preliminary dreams, anyway, so there’s no “last” thought. Just... a changing of thoughts into other things. what’s one thing someone said to you that has always stuck in your memory?: >> Predictably, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. ever agreed with a punishment your parents gave you?: >> Of course not, I hate being punished. Just because the punishment may have been just doesn’t mean I’m gonna like it! do you like to be anti-social sometimes?: >> No. I like to be quiet and undisturbed sometimes, especially for the sake of focusing on an activity, but that is in no way anti-social behaviour. what was your childhood dream job?: >> I didn’t have one. would you ever adopt a kid?: >> Sure. ever did something you swore to yourself you never would?: >> Well, yeah, probably. what color is your toothpaste?: >> White. have you ever faked your identity on the net?: >> Nah. It never occurred to me to do that; I already contain multitudes, so I have a lot of myself to choose from when it comes to image presentation. I don’t need to fake anything. do you like roller coasters?: >> Sure. how do you feel on new years eve?: >> A low-key excitement. I enjoy the ritualistic torch-passing from one year to the next, and I always enjoy the feeling of a fresh start.  which friend is the most understanding of you?: >> I don’t know. what turns you off about a guy?: >> Hm.

what’s the weirdest thing you ever ate?: >> I’m really not sure. From my point of view, nothing I’ve eaten is particularly weird. whats your opinion on the movie napoleon dynamite?: >> I didn’t like it. have you ever chased a pigeon?: >> Nah. ever done something mean to a teacher?: >> So once in high school, I want to say tenth grade? I had this teacher named Mr Stanley. And I don’t remember what it was about Mr Stanley that annoyed me, or what he’d done to make me feel petty, but honestly I stopped getting along with teachers in middle school anyway, once it was realised that I wasn’t going to be teacher’s pet/the Smart child anymore. So maybe I was just being a bitch. But either way, The Sixth Sense was still fresh in my mind at the time, and one day on the back of my homework I wrote “Stuttering Stanley! Stuttering Stanley!” Mr Stanley, mind you, did not stutter. I was just making an annoying reference. Like I said, I don’t fuckin know why. I was a teenager, man, and not a happy or sane one either. So then when Mr Stanley sees it, he gets mad as hell and gets in my face (he was tall, too) and is just bitching me out. I don’t know why he got quite so mad lmao. Maybe he... was a stutterer, once. Wouldn’t that be wild? are you a fan of ipods?: >> No. I used to be, especially when they were a new thing, but meh. whats the biggest thing you considered stealing?: >> I don’t know. Nothing huge, I’d imagine. I’m not that good of a thief. ever been so scared you stayed up with the lights on?: >> Nah. ever ran away from home?: >> I ran away from a place that wasn’t at all home for me. what’s the worst thing your parents have said to you?: >> I don’t recall my father saying anything particularly awful to me. That wasn’t really his style. how many times have you cried yourself to sleep?: >> I have no way of knowing. would you ever sky dive?: >> I’d like to. could you handle eating a bug?: >> I could. Wouldn’t be the easiest thing in the world, but it sure wouldn’t be the hardest. have you ever intentionally been a bitch?: >> Yes. ever felt like you could really be considered crazy?: >> Well, of course. do you think time travel is truly possible?: >> I don’t know enough about the subject of time to form a concrete opinion. think you can dance?: >> Yes, but I’d certainly be able to dance better if I practiced. do you still ride in shopping carts?: >> No. I think I could still fit, but getting in and out is a lot harder at this size. ever seen a Broadway play?: >> No. I’d like to. can you honestly say you’ve felt like not being alive?: >> Sure. if you could choose how to die, how would it happen?: >> I’d be old and happily tired, and it’d happen in my sleep. what is your reaction when you see the person who gives you butterflies?: >> I don’t know what that feels like. I understand it’s probably mostly metaphorical (I say mostly because I think the physical sensation is also a thing that some people must be experiencing?), but I... am not entirely sure what the metaphor is standing for. weirdest dream you can remember is…: >> Hm. Raining with sun out or snowing at night time?: >> Nighttime snow is very calming. I mean, unless you have to drive in the morning. LOL instead of roses, you’d rather receive which type of flower?: >> Sunflowers. Or anything interesting-looking, really. Or nothing. Because cut flowers are a strange gift to me. You cut a plant and doomed it to an unnatural death just to... give it to me. I don’t think I want that. Give me a living plant instead (one that I can realistically take care of, obviously, not something that requires a real garden and full sun or something). romantic ending or realistic ending in a movie?: >> I thought the point of movies was to be transported from reality, honestly. I don’t understand the obsession with realism. at this moment, whose arms would you like wrapped around you?: >> I mean, no one’s, because it’s hot. if you had telepathy, would you tell anyone?: >> I don’t know. I can’t even imagine having telepathy. The power actually doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, because of how brains work, and also because you’d literally be too full of input to... do anything. Telepathy with filtering capability is a little less nonsensical to me. if you could, what color would you paint the sky?: >> That’s not how skies work anyway. what disease would you pick to instantly cure?: >> I don’t want that sort of responsibility. if you could go back in time, what age would you go to?: >> No. is there one major thing you want to accomplish before you die (of old age)?: >> No. who do you want to talk to right this moment?: >> Hm. if you could tell the world one thing about you, what would it be?: >> No. who’s the one person you wish you could apologize to right now, for whatever reason?: >> --- what’s the least favorite part on your body?: >> Hm. who would you honestly give up your own life for?: >> I would give up life for no one. what’s the one thing you don’t like to joke around about?: >> For the most part, I don’t like jokes at the expense of people, particularly about things they can’t control or didn’t choose. Like, friends roasting me for my personality or something, sure. That’s fun. Making fun of white people for not seasoning food? All day every day. Making fun of drug addicts, or poor people, or people from other countries that you don’t understand? I’ll pass. do you think you’re intelligent?: >> Sure. I also think I’m dumb as hell. Both are true. We can’t possibly be smart about everything. do other people’s opinions of your beliefs matter to you?: >> They’re interesting sometimes, and sometimes I might even take them into consideration, but a lot of the times they’re just unsolicited and irrelevant -- not to mention arrogantly or insensitively presented. what quality in someone else just pisses you off?: >> Hm. favorite tv show as a little kid?: >> I didn’t have one. what do you like most about winter?: >> At this point, I’m so tired of winter that I can’t think about it positively. Ask me again in late July. what sound makes you cringe?: >> The sound of the dumpsters being emptied, because they have to bang it a couple of times to get all the stuff out.  do the standards of society matter to you in any way?: >> They matter when I have to interact with them, or when things are being denied me or people are treating me badly because I don’t measure up to social standards. ever tried to overdose?: >> Yes. (Obviously, I failed.) what vegetable do you pick over every other veggie?: >> Baby spinach. why are you self-conscious?: >> Because I am more aware of my self than I have ever been. ever had the conversation of marrying someone and having their kids?: >> Not the latter part. what scent makes you smile?: >> You know, I’ve never thought about it. have you ever just read the dictionary for kicks?: >> Yeah, when I was a child.  if someone stalked you, how would you react?: >> I don’t know. I’ve never been stalked so I don’t even know what it’d feel like. what is one thing that a friend might do that annoys you?: >> Hm. whats the first department you go to in a store?: >> That depends on the store and why I’m there. what kind of grapes do you like?: >> Red. have you ever been physically hurt by someone intentionally and not for fun?: >> Yes. do you often weasel out of doing things just cuz you’re lazy?: >> Maybe. Although I’m not sure I believe in laziness -- I’m sure there are probably exceptions to my theory, because there are exceptions to everything, but I think people just use “lazy” as an insult when they don’t understand why someone else doesn’t work at the same pace or level of enthusiasm or within the same time frame as they do. I think people internalise that and just roll with it. I think that “laziness” is a lazy term that hides a multitude of solveable problems -- executive dysfunction, depression, lack of balance (it’s like the Sims: if you don’t fulfill their need for fun and socialisation, their performance in all sectors suffers), inability to care about whatever-it-is, anxiety, overload/overstimulation, and so on. I say “I’m lazy lmao” because it’s honestly easier to just let myself be judged that way than try to explain these other things to people and be told I’m a liar or making up excuses. ever ignored a phone call because you knew that person was boring?: >> No. items ever thrown around in your room out of anger…: >> That has happened. Not recently. ever gone out commando?: >> No. I find that immensely uncomfortable. are you ever going to consider plastic surgery?: >> No. Couldn’t afford it anyway. do you give in easily?: >> I mean, yes, sometimes. what can’t you stand about your room?: >> It’s too small and Sigma ruined it. do you really believe in magic?: >> Yes. if you ever caught your parents in a lie, what was it?: >> A lie of omission. My father didn’t tell me that the dog we got when we moved to South Jersey had ran away, until I asked him why I haven’t seen the dog in a few days. He... thought I’d like, forget???? I don’t know what kind of logic he was working with there. :| if you were born a guy, what would you hope your name would be?: >> Hm.

were you named after anyone?: >> Originally. what’s one characteristic your ideal boyfriend would have?: >> Hm. do you need reassurance a lot?: >> Not a lot. Not often at all, really. your least favorite Disney villain is…: >> I don’t know enough Disney villains to have a least favourite. what flavor of skittles do you dislike the most?: >> I thought they all taste the same.

Has loving someone ever made you miserable?: >> Sure. How bad are your worst cramps on a scale of 1-10?: >> A fucking thirteen. Have you ever thrown up from cramps?: >> Yep. List three people you had a hard time forgiving. >> The people I had a hard time forgiving remain unforgiven, so. Is there someone you are currently struggling to forgive?: >> No, I’m not struggling. I’m not going to force it, what’s the point in that? Nothing requires my forgiveness. I don’t even regard it as a particularly important thing to give. What is the most physically painful thing you’ve ever experienced?: >> I don’t think anything I’ve experienced tops my worst cramps. Do you have an embarrassing period story? If so, what is it?: >> Not really any embarrassing stories. Like, I’ve bled through clothes and stuff before, but... meh, really. Mostly I was just mad that I ruined a pair of pants I liked. Have you ever had bad cramps in class?: >> Oh, yeah. Have you ever thrown up in school? If so, what happened?: >> Doubtful. Have you ever left school because of cramps?: >> Yeah, because I literally couldn’t stand up. Did your school allow you to have pain medicine on you?: >> I don’t know. I didn’t... like, realise I could take that and solve the problem. (I don’t know. I told y’all my development was skewed. But also, my dad never thought to buy me painkillers, either??? Hmm.) Did your school have a nurse?: >> Yeah. When was the last time you threw up?: >> A month ago or so. Have you ever tried to starve yourself in order to lose weight?: >> No. Do you ever comfort eat?: >> Occasionally. Have you ever thrown your phone across the room in anger?: >> Yeah. Raven (an ex) made me upset and I threw my phone across my studio apartment. Samsungs have always been tough, though. What was the name of your first crush?: >> Non-celebrity? Damned if I remember. Who was your first celebrity crush?: >> Matt Damon. How old were you when you lost your virginity?: >> Seventeen. If applicable, what form of birth control do you use?: >> Abstinence by default. What is your sexual orientation?: >> I’m oriented towards sex. Have you ever questioned your sexuality?: >> Sure. I was raised to believe that I had to be a straight female. At some point, I had to question that, because as you can see, it turned out to be fucking false. Are you happy with your gender?: >> I’m happy not having one, yes. What gender do you identify as?: >> I don’t. What gender were you born as?: >> I wasn’t born as a gender. But I get what you mean, and female is what I was assigned. Do you identify as “religious”?: >> Sure, just not in the way that most people do. Do you identify as “spiritual”?: >> I suppose. What spirituality are you?: >> I’m not “a” spirituality. That’s not how it works by my ken. Have you ever tried drugs?: >> Sure. Have you ever gotten high off a prescription medication?: >> I don’t think so. I tried hydrocodone and I didn’t feel any different. Have you ever been drunk?: >> Yeah. Have you ever smoked pot?: >> Yeah. Have you ever smoked a cigarette?: >> Yeah. What’s your favorite drug?: >> I don’t know anymore, lol. After these long-term effects started manifesting, my relationship with drugs changed drastically. I’m not even sure about trying anything new without a trip-sitter now, and I used to be perfectly fine without one. Going todash will fuck your perception and ability to self-regulate (regulate one’s connection with reality, I mean) way up. What’s your favorite alcoholic beverage?: >> Absinthe. How old are you?: >> 31. Do you drink regularly?: >> Sure. Are/were you abused?: >> Yeah. Do you have a significant other? If yes, are you happy in your current relationship? If not, are you happy being single right now?: >> I am happy with my current relationships, yes. Do you want a significant other?: >> I have significant others. Do I want another one? I’m not actively looking for another (especially not around fuckin here), but stranger things have happened. Do you take drugs or drink to numb your pain? >> No, I take them to eradicate my boredom. Who is your current crush?: >> I mean, I have all kinds of crushes. Who is your current friend crush?: >> I don’t have one. Has a friend ever broken your heart?: >> No, but trying to keep a friendship going has definitely made my life hell for a while until I realised it was pointless. Is your love life history tragic or magical?: >> Hm. Do you have regrets?: >> Nah. Do you prefer tampons or pads?: >> Pads. I mean, I don’t like them per se, but tampons exacerbate my cramps and I’m not crazy about the whole insertion process, so. Lesser evil. Have you ever used a tampon?: >> Mhm. What’s your bra size?: >> I don’t remember. A something-B. Do you have a hard time finding bras in your size?: >> No. Can you still wear clothes from the children’s section?: >> No. I might be small but I’m nowhere near narrow or straight-lined enough for children’s clothes. Are you lonely?: >> Often. Do you have allergies?: >> No. Are you in control?: >> Of what? Do you have a relationship with God?: >> I have a relationship with at least one god. What size pants do you wear?: >> Around a 30W. Do you wear girls, juniors, or women’s clothes more?: >> I don’t really know. I think I fit women’s sizes best, but mostly I don’t shop in stores that have sections of that nature, so. Do you HATE people who are controlling?: >> It can be tiresome. How old were you when you started to have acne?: >> Thirteen, more or less. Did your parents give you “the talk”?: >> No.  How old were you when your parents talked to you about puberty?: >> He... didn’t. Do you like going to the doctor?: >> Nope. Do you like going to the dentist?: >> Nope. What’s your favorite part of going to the dentist?: >> There isn’t one, the whole thing is no fun. Do you feel average?: >> No. Do you feel insecure?: >> About some things, but not most things. Do you feel alone?: >> No, because I’m literally never alone. Do you feel exhausted?: >> No. Do you feel depressed?: >> No. Do you feel anxious?: >> No. Are you haunted by your past?: >> No. Who’s your best friend?: >> Hm. How often do you pray?: >> I don’t. Sometimes I say things to Wednesday. Is that prayer??? I don’t even know how this shit works, I’m flying blind here. Do you keep a journal or diary?: >> Collectively, my dreamwidth, instagram, facebook, and tumblr all function as a multimedia cross-platform diary. Do you relate to the characters in books?: >> Sure, sometimes. Who’s your favorite Disney princess?: >> SHURI Do you think you are attractive?: >> Yeah, but I don’t think other people think I’m attractive. (I mean, I guess some people do. It’s hard to believe, and I think that has to do more with my whole thing about feeling sexually dysfunctional and incompatible than it has to do with what people actually think. Like, it’s this whole ball of really fucked-up yarn.) Are you happy with the way you look?: >> I suppose. Do you look more like your mom or your dad?: >> *shrug* How many siblings do you have?: >> Five. What song describes your life?: >> There isn’t one song that does. Do you cry a lot?: >> Nah.

What’s your favorite color?: >> Gold. Are you unique?: >> Sure. Do you feel blessed?: >> I’m not sure. Who is your favorite person?: >> ME ~*~*~ idfk, man. Has your favorite person ever hurt your feelings?: >> I hurt my own feelings all the time, that’s just how being a human is, mang Do you write in cursive or print more?: >> Print, because of legibility. Cursive is easier for me because of the flow, but the legibility is questionable. Do you like to write?: >> I love to write. Do you like to read?: >> Sure. What are your favorite types of books to read?: >> Nonfiction (science, philosophy, sociology, etc), science fiction, fantasy, horror, I don’t know. Do you have neat handwriting?: >> Ehh. It used to be a lot neater but now my muscles are unused to it. List three people you who you think are good role models. >> Hm. List three fashion trends you love. >> Hm. Are you a trendsetter?: >> Not on purpose. Do you like fashion?: >> I mean... I guess? I like clothes? Do you enjoy shopping?: >> No. I enjoy the obtaining of things I like, but not the process of obtaining it. What stereotype do you fit the most?: >> I don’t know. The Mystic/Psychotic? Is that a stereotype, or at least a trope? Because that’s how I see myself. Are you your own person?: >> I am not even a person, my guy. Are you a risk-taker?: >> Sometimes. Do you feel free to be yourself? If not, why?: >> Not all the time, but I try to focus on the times when I do. (I don’t always feel free to be myself because I often feel like a wild fey creature trying to play the part of a well-adjusted and mildly socially-acceptable construct, and I don’t believe that people in my life actually fully understand that about me. Like, I do my best to keep playing the part, but sometimes it chafes really hard, and I react to that sometimes. Do you like fantasy better than reality?: >> I don’t draw a line between the two. Never really have. Do you have “female problems”?: >> I have spider-god problems. Because they’re my problems, and I am a spider-god, therefore they are spider-god problems.

Have you ever self-harmed?: >> Yeah. How many people have you known who were suicidal?: >> Several. Do you get bullied constantly?: >> Not now. Are people jealous of you?: >> I don’t know? If you’re a worshipper, how do you worship?: >> Horizontally. How many tattoos do you have, and what are they of? Do your tattoos have personal meaning to you? If you don’t have any tattoos, do you want one?: >> I only have three small ones, because the money doesn’t flow like that around these parts. One is the number 19 in Roman numerals, one is the Mannaz rune, and one is “scully, it’s me”; and yes, they all have personal relevance to me. Do you have your ears pierced?: >> Yeah. Do you have any other piercings? If not, do you want any other piercings?: >> Septum. What is your first and middle name, and do you like them?: >> Logan Frey. Yeah, they’re good.

When was the last time you passed out? >> I don’t remember. It’s not a frequent occurrence. How many people live in your house? >> Two. Do you think “friends with benefits” relationships could ever possibly work without anyone getting hurt? >> I don’t know. Maybe. Anything’s possible.

cccxxxii.

Do you want your last ex to be happy, even if it means not being with you? >> Phoenix? I mean, I don’t wish ill upon him.

What is the wallpaper on your cellphone? >> The lock screen is a fan-made Dark Tower movie poster. The home screen is an art of Rustin Cohle that I found on tumblr.

Arrange the following in order of preference: Pineapple, Orange, Apple, Strawberry, Cherry, Watermelon, Banana. >> Cherry, strawberry, apple, watermelon, pineapple, orange, banana. What is your opinion on “God?” >> That’s far too general a question for me. The word itself isn’t anything particular for me, and as far as my personal beliefs are concerned, I vacillate from panentheistic to polytheistic to both at the same time to neither almost daily. I don’t think specific religious paradigms suit me. As strange as it might sound, I feel much more comfortable believing in all at once.

What’s one thing that makes your stomach hurt? >> Hmm. If you had kids, would you take them to Disney World? >> I don’t know. It seems like such a busy and hectic place. Hell, I’m not even entirely sure I want to go. Like, I do, but also... the sensory overload......... What unnatural hair color looks best on you? >> Hm. What is your least favorite pizza place? >> --- What is the name of your first pet? >> Roxie. What is your favorite fairytale? >> The Snow Queen, probably.

What are your thoughts on mini-skirts or mini-dresses? >> What sort of thoughts am I possibly expected to have??

Have you ever known anyone who was homeless? >> I’ve known dozens of homeless people, considering I was homeless myself for most of my adult life thus far. Do you watch movies with the subtitles on? >> I watch as many things with subtitles as I can.

Have you mastered the plastic guitar yet (Rock Band, Guitar Hero)? >> I have! Well, actually, I was at my peak a few years ago, and my skills have degraded slightly because I didn’t have access to the game for a few years. So I have some weaknesses now, like I can’t be sustaining long strings of two- and three-note chords like I used to (fuck Cherub Rock lmfao) and I’ve lost the muscle memory of some hammer-on patterns and stuff like that. Nothing major. What animals creep you out? >> Hmm. Do you like the smell of gasoline? >> Yep. Have you ever owned or used a telescope? >> I’ve never owned one, but I’ve used them.

cccxxv.

What are you currently listening to? >> The Death of Love, Cradle of Filth. Has anyone ever said something that brought tears to your eyes? >> Sure. Can Calah is good at that. Has anyone let you down recently? >> No.

What were you doing at 10:00 am this morning? >> I think I was checking my social media and also beginning to deliberate about whether I wanted to go outside even though it was raining or not.

Do you feel like you have life figured out? >> I’m at the point where I assume that life isn’t something one “figures out���, but one just experiences and does one’s best with. It’s not a fuckin math problem. Do you have on makeup? >> No. What mood are you in right now? >> A neutral one, but easily elevated (or depressed, depending) due to slight intoxication. Looking forward to anything? >> Getting out of suburban shut-in hell for a couple of days (my birthday trip). Be honest, who is the easiest person in your life to talk to? >> Can Calah is the only person I have no mental blocks against talking to. Sometimes the mental blocks have less to do with the other person and more to do with past experience, so it’s not like I truly believe certain other people wouldn’t be receptive -- I just... have a hard time. Have you lived in the same town your entire life? >> Not at all. Would you say you’re an understanding person? >> My cognitive empathy is pretty well-developed out of sheer necessity (gotta fill in the affective-empathy blank somehow, if I’m going to be a well-rounded person worth associating with), but there are always going to be weak spots in it because I can’t anticipate every human response. Also, how well I use my cognitive empathy depends on how much mana I have that day. It is sorcery, after all. Do you hate being alone? >> I don’t hate being alone, I hate feeling alone. Are you a loud person? >> Generally not. Were you happy when you woke up today? >> No, because I think I woke up to noise. But I also woke up to Can Calah, so, it evened out. Do you know anyone who is pregnant? >> I don’t think so. Do you miss the way things used to be? >> I miss some things. But there are pros and cons to everything. How has the week been? >> Short, considering it’s only Monday. Do you plan on getting your hair cut anytime soon? >> Yeah, I think I should probably cut my hair again tomorrow. Now, whether I will have the executive function for it or not is a different story. Do you wish you could tell someone something big, but can’t? >> I mean, it’s not that I can’t. It’s more like... it needs its space to be said. Also, it’s not like, something that needs to be SAID in one SINGLE MOMENT, it’s just kinda... a conversation. Not just me rambling on and on like I’m the only important voice in the dialogue. Ya dig? Ready for winter to come? >> Hell fucking no, I haven’t even gotten to kiss Summer full on the lips yet. Have you ever been called beautiful? >> Sure.

Say something about the first person you kissed this year? >> Uh... she’s a spa care specialist or something. I forget the actual job title but that sounds at least 75% right. When was the last time you were truly and completely happy? >> Uh. Do you currently have a hickey? >> No. Did you talk to your father today? >> No. Are you starting to realize anything? >> Realisation is so slow that it’s invisible until seen in hindsight, so. Do you bite your fingernails? >> Nope. Do you like Mexican food? >> Sure. Do you want someone back in your life? >> I got the person I wanted back in my life. Everyone else I ‘lost’ is on a “meh” basis. Like, I can live with or without, ya dig. Have you ever in anyway, been betrayed by someone you trust? >> I don’t think so. At what age do you want to get married? >> Meh. Where were you at two this morning? >> In bed. Who was the last person you had an argument with? >> I don’t remember. Do you think things will change in the next few months? >> That’s literally how life works. What are you doing today? >> Well, even though it was raining, I let Can Calah convince me to walk to the northerly intersection-- I JUST REMEMBERED I RENTED SOMETHING FROM REDBOX I should actually uhhh watch it lmao --so I went to the Redbox and the liquor store and the Speedway and the Dollar Tree. And then took the bus back home. And now I’m just drinking and messing around on the internet. I should have watched the movie lmao but I straight-up forgot I had it. Later, then. It’s raining and I actually want to smoke with Kris/Hallie and watch the movie. It’s The Greatest Showman, it looks fun. Blah. Whatever. Is there snow on the ground where you are? >> No. Thank the fucking gods. Have your past mistakes made you wiser? >> Some of them have, some of them haven’t. As it goes.

Next time you will kiss someone? >> I don’t know. Why aren’t you with the person you’re in love with? >> Well, I’m with Sparrow. The other person just lives so far away. And I never have money to travel. But at least the internet exists. What a time to be alive. Do you hate the last person you kissed? >> No. Have you ever done something you told yourself you wouldn’t do? >> Sure. Would you ever get a tattoo? >> I have three, so yes, it’s safe to say that I would definitely get a tattoo at any point had I the money. Did you sleep alone last night? >> Physically, yeah. Do you sleep with or without clothes on? >> With.

Have you ever felt like you literally needed someone? >> Yeah. If the last person you kissed said that you were the only one they wanted? >> “Well, that’s... fine, I guess.” LOL that sounds like a wack answer but like... I don’t mean it to sound unenthusiastic, it’s just... not as romantic-sounding to me. It puts a lot of expectation on me to continue to be that same person that they always want me to be. And it’s patently proven that I am a constantly changing individual by design. If [me as you know me right now] is the only person you want, then does that mean you will also only want [me in the future] or will you go “you’re not the person I thought you were!” and break it off? Also, does that mean you want me to reciprocate? Because I guarantee you as a polyam person you will NOT be the only one I want, so will that upset you? Because if so, we need to talk about that. I want to point out something else -- the way that I answered this question is so extra that sometimes I wonder how anyone would want me.

cccx.

What was the last thing you ate and why? >> It was hatch chile macaroni and cheese that came in, like... a takeout container looking thing. You put the whole thing in the microwave just like that and then eat it right out of the box. It was wild-lookin and I just had to try it. It was pretty good mac and cheese, all told (and as a rule I don’t like mac and cheese, so). What was the last thing you drank and why? >> Water. Because my lips were peeling and that always reminds me (or, guilts me) into drinking water. How many tabs do you have open and what are they? >> Six. The Hellblazer issue I’m currently on, the Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme issue I’m currently on, this transcript for an interview that a follower tagged me in a week ago that I keep meaning to finish/reread but keep forgetting about, facebook, livejournal, and this tab.

Are you excited for anything this month? >> Well, it is my birth month. What’s the date today? Is there anything special about today? >> 8 May 2018. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire dropped today, which is something I backed from the start and was very excited about for at least a year. I got to play a little of it this evening after eight million hiccups and... man. I am so happy I got to be a small part of that production. It’s so amazing. What a game series. Have you ever traveled outside of your home country? >> No. Can you speak, read and/or write in another language besides English? >> Bits and pieces here and there. What language course did you take in school, if any? >> Spanish, since my options were limited. What language would you most like to learn? >> German, as in... a decent command of it, not... whatever I’ve managed to put together from Duolingo and Memrise. But I just pick that because it’s the only one I’ve worked on learning at all in recent years; actually, any language would do. Languages are just fuckin cool. What grade are you in right now? >> I’m not. What was your dream job when you were a little kid? >> Hmm. Speaking of dreams, when was the last time you had a sleeping dream and what was it about? >> The last one I remember involved... a lot of things that I can’t properly convey in text because the imagery is all jumbled and disjointed. I think I was on a spaceship. Do you wake up a lot in the middle of the night? >> Not unless there’s noise. What genre of books do you like to read? >> I’m pretty flexible. It’s easier to name genres I don’t read: mystery, YA, Harlequin-esque romance.

Did you ever sometimes flip through your textbooks even when you didn’t need to? >> I loved textbooks. I used to swipe them from classes that I didn’t take, just so I could read the material. What types of magazines do you read? >> New Scientist and Revolver are the ones I read the most. Well, not so much New Scientist anymore, since my subscription ran out. Have you ever ordered anything through a catalog? >> No. Would you prefer to read a book, watch a movie or TV show, or play a video game? >> I mean, I do all three on a regular basis... What are five of your favorite TV shows? >> Person of Interest, Grey’s Anatomy, Community, Hannibal, Carnivale. Do you prefer to watch movies at home or to go out to the theater? >> That depends on the movie. I love the theater experience but most movies I can stand to just watch at home where I can do what I want. So I save the theater experience for stuff like space epics and Marvel films. I think the next thing we’ll be seeing is Solo because I’m hype for that. Do you usually get popcorn or soda at the movie theater? >> No, because I usually can’t justify that expense. I don’t even like popcorn anyway. What genre of films do you like the best? >> Space, I guess. That’s not a genre but listen. Do you like movies based off of books? >> Sure, as a concept. I am often disappointed by the execution, but that won’t stop me.

Does your house have a separate laundry room? >> There’s a laundry room on the ground floor in this apartment building. Do your parents still help you financially? >> No. List 3 things you can see from where you’re sitting >> Fan, nightstand, body pillow. Do you go by any nicknames? >> Sure.

Are you a very talkative person? >> I can be, but a lot of the time I just let everyone else talk (especially if I’m sober). I devalue my conversational contributions often, but on the flip side, it makes me a good listener. So.

What stereotype about your age group do you definitely live up to? >> I don’t know any of the stereotypes about people in my age group. It’s a weird age bracket to be in, period. When was the last time it rained where you live? >> Yesterday, I think. Where is your local polling place for elections? >> It’s at a church. What was the topic of the last documentary you watched? >> I think the last one I watched was Wild Wild Country.

It’s about the Rajneesh cult-thing (that guy Osho that I kept seeing quoted everywhere? they were his folks). Does your car have a backup camera? >> At first I was like “a what now” and then I remembered that in Sparrow’s parents’ cars they have a whole ass camera in the dash for when you’re backing up.

Have you ever been in a relationship that was progressing faster than you wanted it to? >> I don’t think so. What kind of flooring is in the room you’re in? >> Carpet. Pop quiz! Who is the prime minister of Germany? >> Apparently Angela Merkel, but she’s a chancellor. I just got that from the person who answered this question last, I don’t know shit. What was the last strong scent you smelled? >> I don’t remember. Are you more prone to overthinking things, or being too impulsive? >> I over-think more than I act on impulse. Which one of your friends do you see the least often? >> All of them except for Xibalbans. When was the last time you were outside? >> Last night. Do you believe most people are, deep down, good people? >> I think most people are just people, and trying to put qualifiers on it is just messy.

Around what temperature do you consider it to be too hot outside? >> It’s not just the number on the thermometer that imparts hotness, it’s the humidity level, whether it’s sunny or cloudy, the breeze or lack thereof... In what ways do you expect your life to be different one year from now? >> I don’t predict the future.

How often do you travel outside of the state/province you live in? >> Hardly fuckin ever. What’s a hobby you used to have, but don’t anymore? >> Drawing. What was the best part of your day yesterday? >> I don’t know.

What has been your favorite job you’ve had so far? >> --- Do you still live in your hometown? >> No. What’s your favorite kind of salsa/dip to go with tortilla chips? >> I like spicy salsa but with sweetness to it.

Do you have any exercise equipment in your home? >> Yeah, this little pedal machine thing. Where is the farthest north you’ve traveled to? >> Here, I guess. If you have/want children, will you raise them similar to the way you were raised? >> No. How often do you run the dishwasher? >> I’m not the one who runs it. Did you ever go to summer camp when you were a kid? >> No. Do you wash your face at the sink or in the shower? >> Usually in the shower. Name a stereotype about your gender that you don’t fit. >> --- Name a stereotype about your age that you don’t fit. >> ---

Do you have any unusual decorations in your home? >> I don’t think so. What year were you born in? >> 1987. How many exes do you have? >> Enough, honestly. Do you have any uncommon kitchen appliances, such as espresso machines, waffle irons, etc? >> Nah. We barely have room for the common ones. What did your parents major/minor in in college, if they went? >> They didn’t. Has either of their careers influenced what career you chose or want to pursue? >> No.

Have you ever been on a motorcycle? >> Yeah, many times. What is the highest level math class you’ve completed? >> Pre-calculus. How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike? >> I don’t remember. How old were you when you learned how to swim? >> I never did. How do you react when someone is rude to you? >> It depends on what kind of mood I’m in, whether I was ready for it or not, what the weather’s like... Out of everything you’re wearing, which piece of clothing is your favorite? >> I like these harem pants, they’re very comfortable. I should get another pair. Do you follow fashion trends, or just wear whatever you happen to like? >> I wear whatever I happen to like. Unfortunately, fashion trends make it difficult for me to find what I like, since places tend to sell what’s in fashion instead of what I find comfortable and attractive. Shopping is just depressing. Do you live in a city, suburb, or a rural area? >> Suburb. What’s your favorite breed of dog? >> Pit bulls, labs, shepherd-type dogs. Are you more rational or imaginative? >> I prefer to be both. Have you ever had a friend who was too clingy? >> No. Do you prefer riding on wooden roller coasters, or steel roller coasters? >> I like both, honestly. The best thing about the wooden ones is that people tend to go for the big steel ones so the lines for the wooden ones are a lot shorter. What is your least favorite kind of weather? >> Hmm. How did you celebrate your last birthday? >> On the weekend I was in Chicago, on the actual date of my birthday I was mostly travelling back from Chicago. Also, I drank a lot. Think back to when you first met your significant other (or ex). Was your first impression of them accurate? >> I don’t remember my first impressions of anyone. Is there anything other than keys on your keyring? >> Yeah, I have a mini Arthas Menethil (from WoW), a mini Elvis!Stitch, and a few store cards. Do you have an ebook reader? (iPad, Kindle, etc.) >> Yeah, but I mostly just use my phone. The Kindle can’t hold a charge well enough for me and its storage space is ridiculously small. What is your most noticeable personality trait? >> Hmm. What kind of natural disaster is most common where you live? >> Snowstorms, I guess. Which of your family members do you resemble the most? >> I don’t know. Why is your least favorite season your least favorite? >> Hm. Do you have a Netflix account? >> Yep.

Is your hair long enough to tuck under your armpits? >> No. What room in your home do you spend the least amount of time in? >> Sparrow’s room. What is the last random act of kindness you did? >> Uh??? Are you more of a girly girl or a tomboy? >> No. Do you do anything to reduce the amount of electricity you use? >> Not purposefully, but like... because I’ve had these behaviours instilled into me and they just happen to be helpful in that way.

Here’s some weird and personal questions, you down?: >> No weirder or more personal than the rest of my blog, I’m willing to bet. ~ Can you call your ex without it being awkward?: >> I can’t call anyone without it being awkward. I’ve literally never been able to use the phone without wanting to run away from it screaming, lmao. Do you still talk to the person you last kissed on the lips?: >> Yes. Will you be in a relationship one month from now?: >> At least two, I’m sure. What about 2?: >> Same answer.

Could you go a day not talking to the last person you kissed? >> I could, but since we live together, it’d be kind of weird unless I was just nonverbal that day. Is your room ever clean?: >> Eh, it could stand some tidying but it’s fine enough. Do you drink bottled water?: >> I usually drink tap water, but I’ll buy a bottle of water if I’m out on a hot day and didn’t bring any from home. Honestly, are things going the way you planned?: >> I didn’t plan for anything in the first place. Do you hate the last person who called you?: >> I hate that the bank called me, especially since I’m likely going to have to call them back. I hope I get a robot. What are you listening to at the moment?: >> Cannibal’s Hymn, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Think back five months ago, what was your relationship status?: >> More or less the same as it is now. Name something you dislike about the day you’re having?: >> I have no complaints about today. If you are being extremely quiet, what does that mean?: >> There’s no point in assigning meaning to it. It is what it is. Think back to the last person you held hands with, would you kiss them?: >> Sure. Is the last person of the opposite sex you texted single?: >> --- Do you remember the person you first kissed?: >> Yes. Not my favourite memory, but by this point it’s not so.... immediately distressing. When was the last time you cried?: >> A couple of days ago. Why was that?: >> I don’t know. I was overwrought, I guess. Sometimes it just be’s like that. I did come really close to tears this morning, but I think I stifled it before it had its way. Maybe. IDK. (That was definitely about... uh. Shit, I need code names. *shifty eyes*) What is the last thing you did before you went to bed last night?: >> I think I was reading more of Dune. How would you feel about traveling abroad alone?: >> That’d be fine. I think my enjoyment would be multiplied if I had a travelling partner, though. Do you currently have feelings for anybody?: >> Sure. Did you mean it when you said “I love you” last?: >> Sure. Do you think a lot of people think bad things about you?: >> I don’t know. It’s possible. I’m not going to make it my problem, though. List three things near you: >> A PS Vita, a bag of Zapp’s Voodoo chips (almost empty, natch), a mason jar with water in it. What was the last thing you watched on TV?: >> The last thing I watched on the actual television was a YT video Sparrow showed me. I think.  Is your birthday soon?: >> As a matter of fact, it is. Do you like the color green?: >> Absolutely. Do you like winter?: >> You know... I can’t rightly say. Lord Winter and I had a right intense love affair for years, and I truly believed we were evenly matched for a while. And maybe we were, and he’s definitely left his mark on me, a frostbite scar that I don’t mind in the slightest. But... there is enough coldness and austerity in me without the weather adding to it. I require warmth. What are you scared of most?: >> Death, I suppose.  Have you ever given out your number and then regretted it?: >> No. Do you curse a lot?: >> Sure do. Who do you wish was with you at the moment?: >> Listen, don’t put me on the spot... How many pillows do you sleep with?: >> One. Are you drunk?: >> No. What was the last song you listened to that made you cry? >> I’m not sure. Maybe I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday by David Bowie. That one always does the trick, god dammit. Your ex REALLY needs you at 3am and you have a way to their house would you go?: >> I would if I could. What’s that song about walking 500 miles or something, lmao Could you survive without electricity?: >> Maybe, but I guarantee you I would not thrive. Without saying any names what is one thing that you would like to say to someone?: >> You know, Protect Me From What I Want by Placebo is playing, and that title really does cover it.

Could you go a month without talking to your best friend?: >> I couldn’t go a fucking hour without talking to Can Calah. One time we were separated for a week (all of Xibalba shut down, actually; it was The Worst) and I swear I wanted to literally die the entire time. Are girls too dramatic?: >> You say that like there’s a such thing as being too dramatic. *flips hair* Does the thought of marriage scare you?: >> No. I mean, as a polyam person, it will probably weird me out for the rest of my life, but I wouldn’t call that fear. What were the last words you spoke out loud?: >> I don’t remember. Would your parents get mad if you got drunk while they were present?: >> I mean, considering my age, I doubt my father could really get all that mad, but he certainly wouldn’t be fuckin happy. Where is the person who has your heart at the moment?: >> I just imagined Fenris from DA2 thrusting his hand into my chest and yanking my heart out, so thanks for that terrifying and also arousing image. Would you date someone who lived in another state?: >> Duh. Are you friends with your ex?: >> The one that matters. Where is the person you last texted? >> In her room. Who is someone that you would do anything for?: >> Hm. When’s the last time you said you were fine, but really weren’t?: >> I mean, I don’t really do this. When was the last time you wanted to punch someone in their face?: >> I don’t remember. It’s not a common impulse, but there’s been some notable times when that seemed like the only fucking way to get someone to care about the effect of their actions. Who did you spend your summer with last year?: >> Uh, no one in particular? What did you wake up to today? >> Like, what woke me up? Nothing special. Do you believe true love can conquer anything?: >> I think depending on love to conquer things is a silly idea most of the time. It’s not a conqueror. That’s not its purpose. Did you wear what you are wearing today for a specific reason?: >> Nah, it’s just comfortable. Did you eat a cookie today?: >> No, but I tried to eat this fucking lemon square and I felt like my mouth was turning inside out. I don’t even think a literal lemon is as lemony as that thing was. And I eat lemons straight for fun, so like, it was wild. What’s bothering you right now?: >> Hmm. Have you lost friends in the past year?: >> No. Have you ever laid on a bed and stayed there for no reason at all?: >> Sure. Well, no, not for no reason at all. The reason is BED. Have you and the last person you kissed ever talked about going out?: >> Well, I mean... lmao??? What does the last text message in your inbox say?: >> “Number!!!!!!” because I was making fun of Sparrow’s typo (which was “numbet”). If the person you’re dating said they were falling in love with you, what would you do?: >> I mean, like... that’s mad late. LOL. Tell me about the shirt you’re wearing?: >> It’s just a black A-frame.

Did you talk to one of your best friends today? What did you talk about? >> Well, I got to talk to Wednesday (a day before Wednesday, even), so that was something. I still don’t know what to do about... myself. But it was nice to be... advised. I guess. Anyway, I also talk to Can Calah daily. Do you get on better with funny or serious people? >> I get along best with people who have a passing notion of when to be either. Do you have mood swings around the time of the month? >> No more than usual. What if you saw your best friend holding hands with your ex? >> Can Calah can’t hold hands with anyone in meatspace, so I’d actually be struck dumb by the impossible becoming possible more than anything else. Which of your friends lives the closest to you? >> Uh.

You get a text from someone saying that they want to hang out - who would you most like it to be from? >> First of all, no one has my number but Sparrow, so that’d just be strange. Do you think someone has feelings for you? Are these feelings returned? >> It’s reasonably likely that someone does, big as this world is. What if the last person you texted were to ask you out? >> I’m already in a relationship with the last person I texted. What’s important to you, good grades or having fun? >> --- Do you know why 7 is considered to be lucky? >> I forget now. I only have a vague recollection of 7 being synonymous with God-- or was that 8? Hell, at this point, might be both. What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? >> That’s impossible to determine. Would you rather be a stripper or a garbage man? >> I would rather be none of these things, and I doubt I’d be anywhere near successful at either anyway. Ever been offered weed? >> Sure. Are you jealous of someone? >> Not right now. Does it matter if your boyfriend/girlfriend smokes? >> No. Do you believe your ex thinks about you? >> Well, I know at least two of them do, because I’m friends with them. If any others do, I’m completely unaware. Are you attracted to the last male you talked to? >> I’m very attracted to Can Calah. Can you remember what color your ex’s eyes were? >> Most of them. What color is the last hair elastic you used? >> --- Is your hair long enough to put in a ponytail? >> Not even a little bit. Do you like the smell of nail polish? >> Not particularly, but I won’t go out of my way to avoid it unless it’s overpowering. Like if a bunch of it spilled in a store. How many times a day do you brush your teeth? >> Once. Are you under the age of 18? >> No. When was the last time you attended a wedding? >> --- Do you see yourself in a long term relationship in the next year? >> I don’t see why not. Does the sight of blood make you feel sick? >> Not usually. Bowling or sailing? Why? >> I don’t like bowling and I’ve never been sailing, so... Do you have ice-cream in your freezer right now? >> Yeah, I still have one of those small cups of butter pecan. Also, there’s matcha mochi balls that I still haven’t finished. Do you wear makeup? >> Not usually. No occasion. Would you date / hook up with your brother’s best friend? >> --- Do you like taking walks? >> I do, but I don’t like how my legs itch when I walk for a while nowadays. It really puts me off the practice, which just makes it worse when I do walk. The most endless of cycles. Do you play Farmville on Facebook? >> No. If so, what level are you at? >> --- Last energy drink you had? >> I don’t remember. I can’t stand them now. In which class do you feel most awkward? >> --- Last bill you paid? >> I think the last bill to pay itself was a game subscription. Is it anyone you know’s birthday today? >> No. Do you have any strapless bras? >> No. Can you iron? >> I can, I just don’t. Can you work the microwave? >> Yes. Can you work the washing machine? >> Yes. Is anybody in your house sleeping? >> Sparrow went to bed recently but she probably isn’t asleep yet. Are you older or younger than fifteen? >> Twice that. Do you have any friends that got married within the past year? >> No. Have you ever tried to count to infinity? >> No. What would you do tomorrow if you had $500? >> Definitely buy a couple of video games that I’ve been eyeing. Maybe a few things off my wishlists. After that, I have no idea. Did you have an easy-bake oven when you were little? >> No. Have you ever seen a donkey? >> Not in person. Have you ever made out in a hot tub? >> No. I can’t even be in a hot tub, they make me feel like I’m dying. Are you happy with your weight? >> More or less. If you could move out right now, would you? >> If we could move out of Michigan, abso-fucking-lutely. Do you go to church? If so, do you actually pay attention? >> Not anymore, but yes, I did pay attention when I attended. As an adult, there’s really no point in going unless I was going to pay attention. Do you always flush the toilet after you use it? >> Yes. Ever wish you had a different family? >> Probably. It wouldn’t have been an unreasonable wish for young!me to make.

Have you cuddled with someone you weren’t dating? >> Yes. Can you take pills without thrusting your head backwards? >> I’ve never thrust my head backwards.

Do you still remember your first kiss? >> Yes. It’s kind of branded into my brain for a couple of (not nice) reasons. Are you happy with where you are relationship-wise now? >> I’m happy with the relationships I have. I wouldn’t even consider myself emotionally available for any others if I wasn’t. How many kids do you want to have? >> One. I suppose we should think about a pair for the sake of said child not being lonely, but I don’t know. There are possible pros and cons to both situations. Have you ever purposely given someone the wrong number? >> No. Who’s the last person you smoked weed with? >> Sigma.

Are you mad at the last person who called you? >> --- Who was the last person you talked to, other than family? >> Sparrow. When was the last time you flew in a plane? >> This time last year. Is there a girl you absolutely can not stand? >> I mean, somewhere, definitely.

Have you ever set anything on fire? >> Sure. Have you kissed the last person you texted? >> Yes. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos? >> I am always up for more body modification. I just don’t have the money for it. Do you find tattoos attractive in the opposite sex? >> Generally, sure. Who is the person you have hurt the most? >> I don’t know. That isn’t really my thing to determine, I don’t think. Who is the person that has hurt you the most? >> That’s also difficult for me to determine because... shit is connected. No one person is wholly responsible for the damage done to me, because sometimes the damage they caused wasn’t a direct product of them but of... a combination of nature, nurture, and whatever era of life I was in. So while I can blame them, it’s not the full picture, and once you start getting into this stuff it gets real wibbly real quick, so. Yanno. Have you smoked a cigarette today? >> No. Are you listening to any music? What song? >> Yes. Conformist, by XTRMST. It’s a Davey Havok project I’m not entirely sure how I feel about, but I do like a few of the songs at least. Ever had a person who was obsessed with you so much that it scared you? >> No. Is there anything silver near you? >> I mean, probably, but I’m not going to turn the light back on to check. Has anyone ever mistaken you for someone else? >> Yeah, a few times. Who are you talking to right now? >> Blayke on Discord, telling me more about that damn MTG Planeswalker that I now can’t stop thinking about. Enablers, one and all... Have you cried this past week? >> Yes. Say your last ex walks up to you and hugs you, what do you say? >> Relationships have been so nebulous for me lately (I guess part of that is my fault, stupid Mercury making it hard for me to put boundaries around things until it’s too late) that I’m not even sure who my last ex actually is. I never actually broke up with Phoenix, but we... haven’t spoken in months.... so........???? I guess I deserve this, lmao. Anyway, using Phoenix for the sake of simplicity: I don’t know what I’d say, but I’d be confused because like... we don’t live anywhere near each other. Would you date someone right now if they asked? >> Depending on who it is, sure, maybe. Has someone recently told you something you didn’t want to hear? >> Probably. Who was the last baby you held? >> Vlad’s son. Do you know anyone with the same birthday as you? >> I think Lucian’s (of misterlucian.tumblr.com fame) birthday is either the day before or the day after mine. And I think darzie’s is really close too, and Bisho’s... I feel like I do know someone on tumblr whose birthday is the same day as mine, but I might just be getting it confused. Would you ever get a tattoo? If so, of what? >> I have three tattoos, but of course I’d definitely get more. Have you purposely flirted with a friends crush? >> I don’t think so. Do you have any siblings that moved away to college? >> No. Have you had any beer this week? >> Yes. Is there anything you need to talk about with someone? >> Probably a lot of things. But “someone” is... whomst???? I’ll stick to Can Calah for now, because no one else has proven trustworthy with this chaos. Are you wearing a necklace? >> Yes, always. What does text 10 in your cell say? >> You know, phones don’t do it like this anymore... Who was the last person who cried around you? >> Uh... well, like the only person I see on a regular basis is Sparrow, so I’m gonna assume it was her. What was the last thing you cried about? >> Being ill from drink and irrationally hating myself for it. (I didn’t really hate myself for being blindsided, I hated myself for being so hard-up for social interaction that I stayed at Gardella’s longer than I planned to and let Erin give me tastes of drinks that interacted badly with what was already in my system.) Who’s the last guy to give you roses? >> I’ve never received roses from a guy. Do you think relationships are hard? >> I think being a person is hard, and being a person with another person in a way that fits together well is also hard. But I think that sometimes another person is okay with that, and if you’re honest about it with each other, and let each other mess up at it sometimes, it doesn’t have to be as hard as you’d imagine. Did your parents do drugs when they were younger? >> My father didn’t. What color are your eyes? >> Dark brown. Do you listen to music while you fill out surveys? >> Yes. Would you date someone that had a different religion from you? >> If that religion was Christianity or Islam, it’s extremely unlikely. If that religion is another, then it’s possible. It’s really a case-by-case basis because people react with religion differently. (Christianity and Islam are harder to be okay with because the fundamental tenets of those religions are counter to how I live my life, and the way people interact with those religions is often even more counter to how I live my life. There are things about both religions that I appreciate greatly, obviously, but I... I just can’t.) Would you rather have nice eyes or nice lips/smile? >> Well, see, I have both, soooOOOoOOoo Do you have any secrets? >> No. What’s your current problem? >> The littlerbox odour in the closet is never going to go away. Ever. For a year Sigma kept a litterbox right on the carpet in there and was, true to form, terrible about cleanliness, and now the smell is just. Baked the fuck in. And I have to live in here. And smell it. And it’s like a fucking ghost that I can’t exorcise. And operating at this level of sensory processing makes it an even worse time for me. It’s such an appropriate legacy. I’d like to laugh about how appropriate it is, because it’s kinda funny when you’re at a distance... but I am so deeply, coldly angry.

What would you change about yourself if you could? >> I... don’t know. I don’t know, really. I know there are some things I wish I had a better time dealing with, but it’s difficult to name what those things are. And just about all of the things about myself that give me problems are trauma responses, in which case changing the behaviour or the thought process without addressing the root cause would just be putting more bandages on a deep wound that requires surgical attention. Who is your hero? >> Hmm. What really makes you angry? >> I’m not terribly in touch with anger, since it’s an infrequent occurrence and kind of... random, when it does happen. Responses of mine that I used to think were angry ones are usually just overstimulation/meltdown responses, not actually anger. So. IDK. If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? >> My days all belong to me, so I don’t know what I could imagine differently from what I already do. Would you rather vacation in Hawaii or Alaska, and why? >> Hawaii, because the weather would be more agreeable. I think Alaska is amazing, I’m just not as equipped for that climate.

How would your friends describe you? >> I would rather let them describe me than attempt to read their minds. If you could go back in time to change one thing, what would it be? >> I would rather not. What would you do if you won the lottery? >> Hmm. What’s the tallest building you’ve been to the top in? >> One World Trade Center, aka one of the great nonhuman loves of my life. What’s your favorite zoo animal? >> I don’t know, I rarely go to the zoo. If you were a superhero, what powers would you have? >> Matter manipulation, which really just covers it all. How many pillows do you sleep with? >> One. What is the most daring thing you’ve ever done? >> When I was eighteen, knowing nothing of the true and full nature of the world, I fell in love with a drug addict (in a feeble attempt at self-defense, I didn’t know he was one until I was already in love with him), and I lived with him, and I risked money and life to keep him alive. When our living arrangement fell through, I picked myself up and moved to New York City, alone, with no real money to speak of but with enough precious teenage stupidity to not crumble under the weight of impossibility or despair. --Or maybe it was a combination: of precious teenage stupidity and having already learned that life was constant struggle, and not realising that I could want anything different. Either way, Tommy died a few months later, I figured out the layout of the entire city and its subway system, and homelessness became my default state of being for the next 10-odd years. What’s your favorite type of foreign food? >> The flavourful kind. Is your glass half full or half empty? >> Whatever was in the glass, I already drank it. What was your favorite subject in school? >> --- What is the most unusual thing you’ve ever eaten? >> From a USian perspective, I guess shark or octopus. Do you collect anything? If so, what? >> No. What was your favorite food when you were a child? >> I don’t know that I had one. What sound do you love? >> Distant traffic through an open window at night. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? >> I can’t imagine being any older than I am, and I can’t really remember exactly what it was like to be much younger than this, so that’s difficult to answer. If you could work on only one project for the next year, what would it be? >> --- If you were immortal for a day, what would you do? >> Actually, I’ve been immortal for many days. After all, I didn’t die any of these days, so I was at least temporarily immortal. Only death proves mortality. ;) What fictional place would you most like to go to? >> I’m not sure. They all have their problems, and a lot of them are problems I really don’t want to be in the middle of. What jobs do you think you’d be really good at? >> I like to imagine myself as a bartender, but that’s probably dumb. I was a merch boi for a while and I know I was good at that, so. What would be the most amazing adventure to go on? >> All of them. What would you consider to be your best find? >> Find...? What takes up too much of your time? >> Fear. What do you wish you knew more about? >> I’m fine with my level of knowledge. I learn new things every second, anyway. Who has impressed you most with what they’ve accomplished? >> I don’t know, I’m not really impressed by the accomplishments of people because I generally assume they’re capable of a lot anyway. Most people’s setbacks are self-imposed, and I’m not saying that to invalidate people’s roadblocks or imply that every shitty thing in their life is their fault. Brains just make mountains out of molehills, it’s common for everyone and no one’s exempt from it. What’s something you like to do the old-fashioned way? >> That’s a good question and I know I have an answer for it, but I can’t think of it off the top of my head. What’s your dream car? >> As much as Elon constantly makes me sigh heavily and put my head in my hands, I still want a Tesla. What’s the best thing that happened to you last week? >> Hmm. How different was your life one year ago? >> Sigma lived here, Sparrow worked somewhere else (Meijer?), I was broke as hell because the NOLA trip and Sigma’s idiotic rent blunder bankrupted me, and I hadn’t met Wednesday yet. Where is the most relaxing place you have ever been? >> Hmm. What are you looking forward to in the coming months? >> I’m not sure what’s happening in the coming months. What is one thing you really want but can’t afford? >> To travel. What website do you visit most often? >> This one. What’s special about the place you grew up? >> Elizabeth, New Jersey, is surrounded by refineries and power plants and various other forms of big industry. When people make those jokes about New Jersey smelling bad, it’s actually Elizabeth and surrounding areas that they’re talking about, and it’s all from heavy pollution. (Most of NJ does not smell like Elizabeth. The Garden State is not a misnomer, it’s just that most people don’t see anything but the parts closest to NYC, and miles and miles of Turnpike.) During the time I was born, respiratory problems (among other disorders too, I’d bet) were pretty much expected in newborns (I was an anomaly). I actually knew a lot about Elizabeth because my father lived there for 40 years and is one of those people who will study everything about a place he lives in, but I’ve forgotten a lot seeing as I haven’t lived there since last millennium. What are you absolutely determined to do? >> [re]learn to live without fear of dying. What is the most impressive thing you know how to do? >> Adapt. What is the best compliment you’ve ever received? >> I don’t know. What do you wish your brain was better at doing? >> Processing anxiety. I don’t have any experience in doing that since it’d never been a problem until now, so I’m still figuring it out. Have you ever given to any charities? >> No. What is something that your friends would consider “so you”? >> Trying to seduce aliens or demons or something, probably. What risks are worth taking? >> Living. What do you take for granted? >> I’ve taken everything for granted at least once, like... come on. A constant state of total appreciation is almost impossible to attain. We need our brains for other shit. What makes a good life? >> I don’t know, I’m just trying to live, not worry whether it’s “good” or not. Who’s fuckin counting, anyway? When do you feel truly alive? >> Hm. Have you ever saved someone’s life? >> I don’t know. Maybe indirectly or by some six degrees of separation shit. What are some of the turning points in your life? >> Hm. What’s the title of the current chapter of your life? >> I don’t know. That sort of thing is best figured out in hindsight. All stories are told from either the past or the future, not the present. What mistake do you keep making again and again? >> Whatever it is, I’ll probably make it again tomorrow. What do people think is weird about you? >> That’s not for me to say. What have you created that you are most proud of? >> Xibalba. What’s the best and worst thing about getting older? >> The best thing so far has been just the gaining of experience, and the processing of that experience, and seeing the way experience changes me. The worst thing so far has been the bodily changes -- not appearance-wise or anything, just... the sensitivities and weaknesses the body develops as it ages. They start small, but I’m sure they’ll only pile up as time goes on. Hopefully my ability to adapt holds fast. What genre would a book about your life be? >> That kind of liminal space between a fiction book and a biography. What lifestyle change have you been meaning to make for a while now? >> Hm. What food have you never eaten but would really like to try? >> I can’t think of anything right now. Where do you get most of your decorations for your home? >> This place isn’t very decorated in the first place. It’s mostly just stuff Sparrow brought over from her previous dwellings. Which celebrity do you think is the most down to earth? >> I wouldn’t know. Do you think that aliens exist? >> Sure, why not. What mythical creature do you wish actually existed? >> They all exist. What’s your cure for hiccups? >> I don’t have one. I haven’t had hiccups that lasted for longer than a few minutes. If you could visit any famous world monument, which one would you visit? >> I don’t know. Any of them, I’d imagine. Angkor Wat looks really neat. Macchu Picchu? Cristo Redentor? Mount Kilimanjaro? The world’s full of wonders. What outdoor activity haven’t you tried, but would like to? >> I think I’ve tried the ones I’m interested in already. I just want to do them again. When was the last time you slept more than nine hours? >> I don’t remember.

Do you have a song stuck in your head?: >> I had Xanadu stuck in my head but now I’m listening to my iTunes, so. What makes a good movie to you?: >> It’s really difficult to say, since it’s a combination of factors. Do you have any yellow shirts?: >> No. When was the last time you wrapped a present?: >> Christmas. Do you normally win or lose at rock, paper, scissors?: >> I don’t usually play it. Do you like fruity pebbles?: >> I can’t stand them. Do you have any stuffed animals from when you were younger?: >> No. What is the craziest thing you’ve heard or seen on tv lately?: >> I don’t watch actual television. Have you ever hyperventilated?: >> I suppose, yeah. What was your favorite book to read in English class?: >> The only book I had to read in English class that I enjoyed was Their Eyes Were Watching God. Do you wear scarves?: >> Yes. Are your nails painted?: >> No. Do you like to dress up?: >> I love dressing up. Unfortunately I rarely have the occasion (and I definitely don’t have the clothing, right now). Are you looking forward to anything in the next week?: >> Not specifically. Do you buy lottery tickets?: >> No. What is your favorite flavor of Gatorade?: >> I don’t drink Gatorade. Do you think most people wear masks?: >> I don’t have an opinion, really. Do you tend to be judgmental?: >> Reflexively, sometimes. But it’s not a practice I encourage. What feature do you get complimented on most?: >> I don’t have enough anecdata to answer this. What are you planning to do next?: >> Scroll my dash a bit, I suppose.

cccxxiii.

Is there anything that you and your friends simply can’t agree on? >> I mean, probably? We’re all different people from wildly different backgrounds with different experiences and paradigms and ways of understanding the world, so of course there are likely to be things we just don’t agree on. I try not to make a habit of focusing on those things unless they are directly detrimental to our ability to be harmonious with each other.

Who were your last 3 Facebook messages from and what do they say? >> One is from Sparrow’s mother, which was annoying for several reasons. One was me and Elle talking about my OC, Logan Luxurian (sometimes I think about reverting him back to being the Host of Greed or Wrath because “Logan Avaritian” and “Logan Iritian” both sounded way cooler and less like a stupid porn name than this one does...) and her OC, Siran, who are forever schmoopily in love. And the last was from one of my cousins, who is one of those older people on facebook that send chain IMs and post about Jesus all the time.

Who was the last person to comment on your Facebook status? What does the comment say? >> The last comment I got was Jay saying “same” to a comic I posted.

Is there a song that always makes you cry whenever you hear it? >> You bet your sweet fuckin ass there is. More like 50 songs, tbh. I’ll give you a few examples: I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday (David Bowie), These Things (Fuel), Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers, and only that version), Stoppa mig Juni / Stop Me June (kent), Nothing As It Seems (Pearl Jam) -- okay I’m stopping here because just thinking about that last one and why my relationship with it is the way it is fucked me up just now.

When will you next go out drinking? >> God, I wish I fuckin knew.

What are 3 reasons you’ve smiled or laughed most recently? >> A particular survey answer I read, a meme I saw on facebook, and hearing Sparrow leave her room because she’d released the toilet demon and couldn’t sleep. (The half-bath’s toilet runs intermittently for like an hour and a half after flushing, because fuck this apartment complex, that’s why.)

Who was your last Tumblr message from and what does it say? >> It was from one of my mutuals with the url to her personal blog.

Can you remember who your closest friend was 10 years ago? Do you still speak to that person? >> I don’t know that I had any close friends in 2008. Maybe Anubis? I don’t even remember who-all was in Xibalba at that time... oh, wait, I think Vengeance was still around.

Think about your ex, your crush, or the person you’re currently dating. Were you attracted to that person as soon as you met them, or did the attraction develop over time? >> I mean, I’ve met most of the people I dated in recent memory on the internet, so no, it’s not like an instant thing.

Is there anything you’ve wanted to do recently, that you haven’t been able to? >> Nothing specific that I can pinpoint. Aside from just getting out of here.

Will you be spending the night with the last person you kissed? >> I mean, we live in the same apartment.

Where was the last place you went on holiday? >> New Orleans.

Do you turn your phone off at night when you go to sleep? >> No.

What are the initials of the last person that texted you? >> SC.

Who was the last person to post on your Facebook wall/timeline? What does the post say? >> Oh, I don’t know. Most people don’t post directly to my wall, they just tag me in things.

Which do you use the most, smiley faces, kisses or hearts? >> I use various kinds of smiley faces the most.

Describe the last person who put their arms around you. >> I don’t even know how to “describe” people. Describe what?

What’s the closest thing to you that’s red? >> I’m not sure and I’m not willing to turn the light on just to find out.

What are the 3 objects closest to you? >> Various stuffed animals. Also, my phone.

Is the last person you texted older or younger than you? >> Younger.

Are there any conversations going on in the room right now, that you’re not involved in? >> No.

What is the sexual orientation of the last person you talked to? >> In meatspace, bi. In headspace, uh...... lmao

Describe the last strange dream that you recall having. >> I’ve forgotten what my last remembered dream was, period.

What is it that you want, more than anything else in the world? >> I don’t know. I just... I don’t know.

What’s the last thing you said to the last person you kissed? >> I don’t remember.

Have you ever kissed the last person who Facebook messaged you? >> No.

Have you ever had an ask on Tumblr that was too embarrassing for you to answer? >> No. That’d be interesting.

List the last 5 things you had to eat. >> A McChicken, french fries, a veggie burger and broccoli slaw eaten out of the bag like chips, chicken enchilada soup, and the rest of my Voodoo chips.

Do you like dark, milk or white chocolate best? >> Dark chocolate is the only chocolate I like at all.

Is your handwriting neat? >> It can be.

If you had to choose, which would you give up - your phone or your computer? >> I’d give up my phone way easier than I’d give up my computers.

What’s your honest opinion of the last person you had a conversation with? >> My honest opinion of Can Calah is that he’s the most important person in my life and I can’t deal with anything in this world or in this brain without him.

Would you feel okay about going to your parents for advice about sex and contraception? >> No.

Is there any kind of food or drink that you used to love, but now hate? >> Probably, but I can’t think of it when prompted.

Do you have any moles, ‘beauty spots’ or birthmarks? >> I mean, maybe. I’m not entirely sure.

Think back to four months ago. Were you single, or in a relationship? >> I was in relationships.

If you’re in a relationship, what is it that you love best about the person you’re with? If you’re single, are you looking for someone? >> Oh brother.

Have you slept in a bed with the last person you kissed? >> Yes.

If the person you miss came into the room right now, what do you think would happen? >> first of all HOW in the PLUPERFECT FUCK did you manage a spatial-contortion trick like THAT (and can you teach me)

What’s the worst lie you’ve ever told anyone? >> I don’t know.

Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever kissed someone? >> On a balcony of an abandoned house...? Probably.

Has anyone ever told you that they loved you, and you didn’t say it back? >> Yes.

What’s your favourite hairstyle on the opposite sex? >> I don’t care.

What’s the closest thing to you that has glitter on it? >> I don’t think there’s anything glittery in this room. I don’t like glitter around me because of how contagious it is.

Has anyone ever played a prank on you? What happened? >> I don’t think so.

Do you tend to go with your head or your heart most of the time? >> I’d prefer not to think of emotions and logic as being separate impulses. It’s a synergistic system.

Do you like sweet or salty popcorn? >> I don’t much care for popcorn, period. But there’s that dark chocolate-drizzled salty kettle corn kinda stuff that this one company makes that I will definitely eat too much of in one sitting.

What are you going to do when you’ve finished on the computer? >> If I’m finished on the computer it means I’m either switching to my phone or going to sleep, real talk.
