333.

Are you the clubbing type? >> I’ve never been to a nightclub, so I have no idea. Probably not, though. Bar goer? >> I go to bars, yes. How old are you? >> 32. Song you can’t stand? >> I rarely remember songs I don’t like off the top of my head.  Menthol or non-menthol, when it comes to it? >> When I did smoke, I preferred menthol. I like the sharp feeling.

Are you the candle lighting type? >> I don’t use candles much anymore; the fragrances they use for them are usually kind of awful to me. There are some candle types I like, though -- the ones with the wick that simulates a crackling fire, for example. Love those in winter (especially if they smell like pine or something else Christmas-y). Is your ex sexually attractive to you still? >> Most of my fondness for Phoenix was sexual in the first place, and I imagine I’d still find him attractive if I ran into him (not as much as I did, though). He’s really the only one that qualifies for this question, because I’m not sexually attracted to any of my other exes. Most of those people I was with because... they wanted me, basically, and I wasn’t completely opposed to them. Even the people I was emotionally attracted to, I wasn’t necessarily sexually attracted to. That’s not because there was something wrong with them -- they were all good-looking people -- so it’s not like that. I just... am not at all easily attracted to people in that way. Even I’m not sure how sexual attraction works for me (inworld and fantasy shit notwithstanding). What is unattractive about them? >> There were a lot of unattractive things about people I "dated”, and I’m not going to go listing it all. Your hottest exe’s name starts with the letter what? >> --- Fast food junkie are you? >> No, I rarely eat fast food anymore. Are you around a lot of people all the time? >> No. Do you have a crap load of friends to hang out with? >> No. I don’t. Not such a bad thing though. Do you know what sixlets are? >> No. Pick two highliter colors: Yellow, Pink, Blue, Purple, Orange >> I don’t even use highlighters. Coffee in the morning, yay or nay? >> I don’t drink coffee because 1) I don’t much care for it and 2) I’m pretty caffeine-sensitive so if I’m going to drink anything caffeinated it’ll probably be black tea. Do you ever drink your coffee black? >> I did when I did drink it. Finish the lyrics: I like my coffee black just like my ( blank ) >> Metal.

Body waxing, yay or nay? >> I have no opinion. I’m sure it’s very convenient. Do you have a uni-brow? >> No. Do you sometimes wish it was ok for girls to grow their pit hair? >> But... it is okay. You can make all the “but Other People don’t like it~” excuses you want, but at the end of the day it really still is your choice and your prerogative. Amsterdam vacay or Canada? >> *shrug* Honeymoon, where? >> Our extended stay in New Orleans through Halloween is going to function as a “honeymoon”. Would you rather live in a house right now or an apartment? >> I’d rather live in, like, a condo or a duplex or something. Or a house, sure, I guess. Coffee gum, yay or nay? >> That... doesn’t sound appealing to me. Do you floss your teeth everynight? >> No. Every week? >> No. Do you know how to thread off hairs? Or even know what I’m talking about? >> I know what you’re talking about, but no, I don’t know how. Did you live in the age of cassette tapes? >> I did. Coolest toy of back in the day? >> *shrug* I liked my computer and that was really it. Best brand of tea? >> I don’t know. Are you a tea freak like me? >> I like tea very much, but I’m not very knowledgeable about it. I am a mild enthusiast at best. Organic food, awesome or you really don’t g.a.f >> I believe in the concept, but... meh. Do you own a rosary? >> Yeah, a decorative one. Have you ever destroyed a bible? >> I remember we used to use Bible pages as rolling paper in a pinch. So, yes. Or a religious figure? >> What, like an icon or something? No. I generally don’t disrespect or desecrate religious items (although I suppose my sexualisation of certain things could be seen as “disrespect” depending on who you ask), the Bible-paper thing was an anomaly because of the people I was around. Do you regret it? >> I don’t regret it, I just think it was kind of stupid and Edgy(tm) in retrospect. Anal sex, yay or nay? >> Nay. It’s one of my very hard limits. Ok, sorry, why not. Blue lipstick, yay or nay? >> Yay for whoever wants to wear it. I wouldn’t, because it doesn’t suit me. Random or basic surveys? >> What is the difference? Is this question lame: “Have you had sex?” >> It’s not a lame question. And the answer is yes. I think it is. Sharpies or visa-vis? >> I use Sharpies. Sharpies or highlighters? >> Those are made for two different purposes... Sharpies or paint markers? >> Meh. Did you ever watch that show with the gnomes? It’s old. >> What show...? Have you ever watched Flight of Dragons? >> No. Can you hoola-hoop real good? >> Not real good, no. Do you like to dive into the pool? >> I can’t swim, so no, that’s not a good idea for me. Do you like to jump in or get in a non-jumpy way? >> --- FUDGE. What kind of FUDGE would you like? >> I don’t like fudge. Visit Barbados or Australia? >> Either is fine. How would like to ride to work everyday on a bike? Not a motor bike. >> --- Do you like to surf? >> I’ve never been surfing. But like I said, I can’t swim, so I’ll never go surfing anyway. Have you ever cut your own hair? >> I usually do. How did that go for you? >> It goes fine. It’s very difficult to fuck up a buzzcut, lmao. Have you ever cut your hair with kitchen scissors or craft scissors? >> No. Also, Sparrow is a licensed cosmetologist and would probably have a seizure if I did that in front of her. Not a good idea. Something gross someone has done? >> Er... Has anyone ever written on you? >> Yeah. Has anyone ever annoyingly scribbled a smiley on your schoolwork as a kid? >> I mean, teachers used to put smileys on graded classwork...? I don’t know any other circumstance where smileys would appear on my classwork. Do you like the AC blasting all the time? >> Not at all. I prefer running the AC for a little while to cool off the air, and then using fans to keep it circulating after that. Too much AC makes my sinuses act up and also just... doesn’t feel good, for me. Do you get more cold easily or more hot easily? >> I get hot very easily. Do you walk through puddles or try to avoid them? >> I try to avoid them, I hate getting water in my shoes. Even when I’m wearing rain boots I reflexively avoid puddles, lol. Do you pet a stranger’s dog or avoid them? >> I love petting strangers’ dogs, if they’re okay with it. Do you ever cross your legs while sitting down? >> No, I find that posture very uncomfortable. Always have, for some reason. Can you name something bad about crossing your legs? >> I don’t know anything bad about crossing one’s legs. I just know I can’t sit like that. I can. Do you ever sit with your legs wide open? >> Occasionally. Have you ever had to complain about your internet not working well? >> Definitely. Our internet is kind of shitty, actually, in comparison to what’s available. Hopefully we’ll change providers soon. Lipstick over the actual natural lip-line, your thoughts? >> I have no thoughts. Is the Dark Knight movie overrated? >> I don’t know if it’s overrated. I thought it was pretty interesting. Have you ever dated someone with really crooked teeth? >> No. Have you ever dated a fat person? >> No. Have you ever dated someone with a fine ass body? >> I guess.
