#the weirdest conversations always happen as random kitchen encounters

[avionvadion]

Me making a joke about how I am confirmed a "Ken" because of my middle name (it has "Ken" at the start) and that my sister is a "Barbie" because she has a bright pink "Funeral Director Barbie" shirt:

My sister's poc partner: "Wait, that's your middle name? I know so many black girls with that name!"

Sister: *proceeds to inform him of ALL our siblings first and middle names*

My sister's poc partner: "For the whitest family ya'll have the blackest names."

Me: "Our parents thought they were being "original"."

*Several Months Later*

Sister: "So, I was talking to this black lady at work, and she's writing a book. She said you have the blackest first and middle name and that she's stealing it for a character, you have to choose a new name now."

Me: "...Okay?"

Sister: "I said I don't think you'd mind about the middle name, but she might have to fight you for the first name."

Me: "I mean, I don't mind sharing?"

Anyways, I hope that lady wasn't secretly a fae and my sister didn't actually hand over ownership of my name because I'm too lazy to pick out a new name. Although to be fair I do usually just answer to nicknames. People rarely actually use my real name. Hmmm, maybe I'm the fae??? I am apparently a bat cryptid.

autumnal asks

I reblogged this last week and I’m finally in the mood to actually do this.

“This” being purge out all the things I’ve never said out loud, feel like I say too much, and just pretty much in between, while listening to  listen to Ari Lennox , SiR, and Snoh Aalegra.

lantern - how did you meet your best friend? What were your first impressions of each other? - I met my best friend through a mutual friend in the 8th grade or right after it, I’m not sure. My first impression was “Wow, this girl has a personality. Not in the “Oh! She’s so funny.” No i mean, this girl has opinions, and their different than mine. Man, she has these views and she has them so much conviction." She is intimidating and I’m not sure if I’m ready for this >.>

Turns out I did, we would wax and we would wane, and now my faith in our relationship is as strong as my belief in the moon always making her way back to us.

frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say? - don’t wait, just do it. be selfish, it’s okay to want what you want. you’ll always find a way so don’t be scared to leave. be diligent in your relationships, be that family or friends. you don’t know when they’ll need you or you’ll need that person. let people know you love them. don’t be scared, don’t worry, be young, want, love, but continue to trust your gut, it’s always (99.99999%) right.

maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did? - man, ha. Uhm, I guess archery. I’ve loved it since i was 8 and i watch inuyasha with my cousin for the first time on vacation in Applevalley, CA.

harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why? - Ooh, that’s tough.. I feel like I find myself in all the heroines I read about. If I had to choose though, I’d certainly say at this time, Emi from the Red Winter Trilogy by Annette Marie.

*oh shit, slide away by miley cyrus just came on. it’s lit.

fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like? - ooooooh, {((>,<))} such a colorful variety, but only like 50% the other 50% needs to be my neutrals (black, grey, white, and more black.) So I’d have jackets and hoodies upon themselves, LOTS of denim, a pair of overalls, tees, sweaters, crop tops, high-waisted errthang. off the shoulders shirts, blouses whatever. belts -i never have any of these and i have no idea why,- but yeah it be easier to just look at my pinterest board lol

cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy? - mmm, honey mustard. that’s a condiment i know. truly though, it was a breakthrough.

amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have. - yeeeeeeekkkkk, i think gender roles are okay as like an outline, but then once you have your kid and he/she starts having opinions you can swap out things or trash it who cares for what your child feels comfortable, and your family supportive.

fog - how well do you think you’d do in a zombie apocalypse scenario? - dawg. i feel like given the right resources, i’d do okay. def steal a truck/suv, grab my crew, and drive out to the country and stay on a farm or some shit.

jack-o-lantern - if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose? wellll, zendaya. I’ve heard i favor her and i don’t all the way see it but if i really could have those brows and face structure, yeesh. imma be stuck up.

spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted? - my elementary school had this story about the basement being haunted from a custodian killing her. and i was dared to use the restroom down there. i def got the bottom step and straight hustled out that mufucka.

orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn. -i’d like to feel connected. that blissed out feeling of the breeze coming over your body on that cool day, but with a person.

crow - which school subject do you wish you had an aptitude for? - wish? hmm, language. had i felt more comfortable i may have went into college for some writing/ communications major from the start.

bonfire - describe your dream house. - too long. but here’s go killing time. dark green, black accents covering the exterior. a beautiful front porch, yes with the swing. gorgeous deck for entertaining, back yard with fence but 3 good and full trees to provide more privacy from the neighbors, toward the back so that way on the deck i can see the sky and moon at night. inside.. a mud room from the 2 car garage at the end of the mud room to the side the laundry room complete with shelves for the washing/drying items and hangers for the the gentles. in the opposite direction you walk into a spacious kitchen. complete with a double over, sitting on top of each other, large cabinets that at as the pantry, cabinets on cabinets on cabinet space. a fun but elegant back splash. the island/breakfast bar. deep double sinks, stretching into the living room just this is getting way to detailed and i’ll finish the rest. but bottom line. great vanities in my bathrooms, 2 upstairs, a half bath down stairs. (yes 2 stories and finished basement which also has a half.) 4 bedrooms master connected to bathroom with huge claw bath. another for the kids (2-3) if no 3rd kid forth room is an office/ we use for reading, writing all dat. you know what this is my dream so regardless of children i will have this. filled with lots of laughter, love, smiles, talks, discussions, advice, and understanding. 

cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where? - man, i would say something crazy like oh with the samurais and shit and then have to remember women have always had it rough everywhere and we still do! and add that on to the fact that i am color? not really bout it. but it women right’s were the same. i would go back the edo period, or when america bounced back from the depression. oh wait i wanna avoid all the WW’s... yeah every time period had their hangups. 

cobweb - (if you’ve graduated) do you miss high school? - nah, i really just miss the responsibilities. they truly weren’t anything. 

cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on? my hair.

maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street. - i’m not sure about strange, that gives it a negative feel to me. but on my 25th birthday i was drunk downtown with my friends and while walking back to the car i heard this guy (the stranger) talking about sauske (from naruto, clearly) was the greatest character in the series, and i just yell out “sauske’s a bitch.” dude took it in stride and was saying how come? and i proceed to have this existential conversation on the street at like 3 am about naruto. NARUTO. it was like a dream come true. but definitely the most random.  

quilt - how do you take your tea (or coffee)? - coffee, a quarter of it needs to be creamer (flavored preferably) with 2 sugars. tea, i am surprisingly starting to put cream in it, like that only 1-2 sugars. without 2-3 sugars. I like my stuff sweet, sue me? 

pumpkin - do you think that humans are inherently good or bad?  -this is tough. i guess since we are born “in sin” we are inherently bad? we’re taught in life what our morals are and what things we shouldn’t do. 

moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly? - eat, neat, neat. if messy it is a organized chaos. my house is orderly now i just got done cleaning before i took a shower and started this. 

flannel - have you ever gone on a bad date? - yesssssssssssssss. yes. yes. he was sooo fine too. like just great looking. still love looking at him on instagram attractive. but he was just so materialistic and judge mental. he still shoots his shot from time to time and i be like... should i? then i’m like nah, he always annoys you when you do. 

cocoa - if you could have any type of hair, what colour and cut would you have?- and it be natural? i love to be a natural red hed. i think they are just bombshells. i know they get the fire crotch jokes growing up but i’m skipping that phase. and cut? i think i would keep a medium borderline bob hair cut. 

ghost - is there someone that you miss having in your life? - i don’t miss anyone that ... wait i miss my penguin girl. but i was going to say that the person i miss in moments like this is someone i’ve haven’t met yet. 

[thedrowsydoormouse]

As per tradition, @anangelamuse-castiel-spnfam and I answer every question on the question thingies we reblog.

lantern - how did you meet your best friend? What were your first impressions of each other?

I have multiple best friends but I’m going to talk about the one who’s head is currently in my lap (aka the hubby). We were introduced by a mutual friend when they came over to check up on me while I was going through a depressive spiral after I found out my ex cheated on me with his ex. My first impression of him was that he was super cute and really sweet. My first impression of her was that I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say?

Wear more black. Don’t even bother with the boho phase. Skip college and just go straight to finding an agent. Start using cbd oil way sooner. There’s only one guy who’s worth a second chance so don’t even bother dating all the others because you will get hurt. Don’t go on Forbidden Journey because it will give you PTSD. 

maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?

I always wanted to learn to play piano. Every other hobby or skill I’ve wanted to try I did. But piano was tricky because they’re expensive and we didn’t have room for one. 

harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?

Dean Winchester. We both love plaid and vintage cars and good whisky and pie and we both have the same type (dark hair, blue eyes, total dorks) and we both have parent issues and love classic rock and a whole host of other issues. Plus he’s sexy!

fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?

It would look like my sim’s wardrobe but better with tons of black and red and plaid and (faux) leather and it’d be super sexy! Also thigh high boots. My wardrobe now is really close and getting closer!

cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy?

Fancy sushi. I used to only eat California rolls but now I’ll eat just about any kind of sushi and regularly eat sashimi (raw fish with no rice) and nigiri (raw fish with rice).

amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have.

K-pop sucks. And not just the music but the entire industry is fucked up and controlling in an abusive way and leads to normalizing nearly impossible beauty standards and a version of perfection that is toxic and leads to an increase in eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and dysmorphia not to mention the sexualization of things commonly associated with young, underage girls which leads to a normalization of pedophilia and an increase of young girls trying to grow up too fast and all things associated with that. I hate it.

fog - how well do you think you’d do in a zombie apocalypse scenario?

I’d hope I’d do pretty ok. 

jack-o-lantern - if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose?

I plan on being famous one day so I’d say myself!

spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted?

The house I live in is currently haunted as is my family’s beach house. 

orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn.

The Halloween party at the Huntington doesn’t suck this year and is actually worth going to. Also Disneyland annual passes.

crow - which school subject do you wish you had an aptitude for?

I was actually freakishly good at almost every school subject except for PE but I never actually tried in that class because I hated it. If I had put effort in I probably would’ve been really good at that, too!

bonfire - describe your dream house.

Custom built victorian mansion in a vibrantly gothic jewel tone color scheme with massive closets, a huge kitchen, a super cushy master bedroom and bathroom, a big room for entertaining, and a dance studio.

cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where?

I’d want to live in the late 30′s and into the early 40′s in either Brooklyn or here in LA. 

cobweb - (if you’ve graduated) do you miss high school?

Not really. I miss the structure of it because I often find myself super bored with nothing to do but I don’t miss anything else. 

cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on?

My hair. I’m super proud of it because it’s super long and has a super pretty curl and is a really pretty deep purple-y red color that perfectly compliments my skin tone.

maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street.

When I was 17 I was in New Orleans with my family on vacation and some random drunk Cajun man came up to me and we had a full conversation in French which confused my brother to no end! It was hilarious!

quilt - how do you take your tea (or coffee)?

It depends on the tea but no matter what I always have sugar in it. For black teas I like a little soy milk. Green teas I take with just the sugar. Herbal teas depend on the flavor but usually sugar and maybe a little lemon. And when I’m sick I do lemon with honey instead of sugar.

pumpkin - do you think that humans are inherently good or bad?

It depends on the person. In general they’re good. But some people are just born bad and there’s nothing anyone can do to change that. Usually those are the ones who wind up getting into positions of power like CEOs of huge companies or President of the United States and wind up fucking everyone else in the ass with a cactus. The other ones that are born bad become rapists and serial killers. Or cops but those are the same thing as the last two things I listed except they get away with it because of corruption and abuse of power.

moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly?

I like controlled chaos. My room is filled with a lot of clutter but everything is in it’s own space and I know exactly where everything is. 

flannel - have you ever gone on a bad date?

Way too many for my liking.

cocoa - if you could have any type of hair, what colour and cut would you have?

I would have the hair I have now. Super long, curled, and dyed a deep purple-y red color.

ghost - is there someone that you miss having in your life?

Yes.
