survey by lets-make-surveys

1 - Are you one of those people who can watch TV shows and movies over and over again without getting bored? Yeah this is pretty much my approach to all of my favorites. if a show or movie is able to join that club, then I automatically have no problem watching it over and over. Case in point, Friends for TV shows and The Proposal for movies.

2 - If you drink coffee, do you like it plain or would you rather have something like a latte or something flavoured? I never take coffee black. I mean I’ve had a few sips of it from friends’ cups before, but it just made me miserable loooool.

3 - How did you used to dress ten years ago? Do you dress in a similar way now? Ten years ago I was 12 and had no fashion sense whatsoever. I just put on whatever hand-me-down I got or whatever my mom would get me when she’d go window shopping. Didn’t really start putting in effort in my outfits until the end of high school.

4 - When you’re grocery shopping, do you buy known brands or are you happy to go with the generic store version? Known brands, because most of the time they end up having a better quality as well. 

5 - Do you have a close relationship with any of your cousins? I’m super close with only one cousin, the eldest one on my mom’s side. He’s pretty much like an older brother to me and my siblings. Everyone else on my mom’s side is too young for me to get truly close with; my cousins on my dad’s side are too shy and also live too far away for me to be able to keep up a close relationship with them.

6 - Who was the last person to sleep over at your house? Does this person stay over often or was it more of a one-off? Gabie, I think. She stayed over a lot before, but obviously not anymore.

7 - Does bad weather put you off going out if you’ve got plans to do so? Have you ever cancelled plans due to the weather? Only if a typhoon is really strong; like now, and how they actually had to cancel work today because of the power outages everywhere and because residents in other cities are already being brought to evacuation centers where they can be safe. I had no idea work suspensions were a thing lmao so I was glad to read the message today; I didn’t know how I was going to work with only data and limited battery for both my phone and laptop (power’s been out in our house since 1 AM). :(

8 - When you’re on vacation, do you prefer doing the typical tourist things, or would you rather explore somewhere off the beaten track? I will enjoy a tourist thing or two, but otherwise I’d focus on the less-explored or less-visited attractions. It’s usually the museums or historical landmarks, which is a shame.

9 - Did your family travel a lot when you were younger? From the time I turned 11, which I think was the time my dad got a good promotion and money got a lot better at home. We’d go for vacations locally and abroad every time he was home, which was every 5-6 months.

10 - When was the last time you went shopping for clothes? Did you get anything decent or find any bargains? Around March, I think. Yeah, I found two tops that were both bargains.

11 - Is it true that accessories can make or break an outfit? For sure. With me, it’s bags.

12 - What is your worst memory from high school? What about the best? The absolute worst that I can remember was when we had to role-play as our chosen character in the novel we were taking up in Filipino class; and for some wild reason I chose the most extravagant, bitchiest, flamboyant character...for whom I do not have even the slightest acting chops. When I got to the front of the classroom that’s when I realized my mistake, blanked out, realized I wasn’t going to be able to act as her, and fumbled for the next five minutes. 

My favorite bits from high school were the lunch periods I spent with my friend group. Even if we don’t talk anymore, I’m just grateful I was able to find a home in a group in high school.

13 - Is there any trait in a potential partner that would be a total dealbreaker for you? Right now my biggest dealbreaker is if they aren’t Gabie...lol. Other than that, I imagine being hugely turned off by poor hygiene.

14 - Do you insist people use coasters if they’re putting drinks down in your house? No. I wish we did have coasters as I find them aesthetically pleasing haha, but my mom doesn’t find them necessary

15 - Have you ever been arrested? Were you guilty of whatever it is you were arrested for? Never been.

16 - Name five items on the shelf nearest to you: I don’t have shelves in my room.

17 - After meals, do you wash dishes up right away, or do you leave them in the sink and do a whole days worth at once? I leave them in the sink and soak it with water and dishwashing soap for an hour or so, so that by the time I get back to it it’s easier and quicker to wash. So I do leave them, but I don’t wait until I have 4353894753246 dishes to wash by the end of the day.

18 - What websites do you find yourself spending the most time on? These days I’m primarily on Google Suite, honestly. Work eats up my week.

19 - Do you still download music and TV shows? No. Nearly all media I consume these days is thanks to an online subscription. The only exception is YouTube, I think.

20 - Does your phone have a good battery life? How long does it last before you need to charge it again? I don’t know how it fares compared to other brands, but I’m generally okay with my phone’s battery life. It lasts around 2-3 hours if used continuously, but if I’m out all day and on the go, it can last a whole day with me.

21 - When was the last time you hit snooze? Yesterday.

22 - Did you ever play The Sims? Which expansion pack was your favourite, if you had any? I did play The Sims a lot before – mostly Sims 2 on the PS2, Sims 2 Pets on the PSP, and Sims 4 on the PS4. I never explored the expansion packs too much, though.

23 - Are there any popular film series or TV shows that you just don’t get the appeal of? Game of Thrones and any Marvel movie.

24 - As a child, did you receive pocket money or an allowance? How much did you get? Was it dependent on you doing chores of some kind? Eh, not really. I didn’t receive an allowance of any kind until I was in high school when I started to be given P100 (roughly $2) a day, which was enough for snacks and lunch. No, I didn’t do chores to get the money.

25 - Do you think your parents did a good job of raising you? Would you do anything differently with your own kids? They taught me manners, showing respect, and different values like recognizing my privilege, giving to the poor, understanding my enemies in school, etc. But my childhood seriously lacked emotional maturity, physical affection, and, generally...just being treated like a kid; and I definitely feel the effects from these until today. I was already yelled at from age 5, and that has made me afraid of anyone who ever so slightly raises their voice. I’d do a lot of things differently with my own kid/s.

26 - If something is bothering you, do you have to fix it right away? Not always. Sometimes I run away from it first.

27 - Are there any household jobs you enjoy doing? If so, what’s the reason that you enjoy those things? This isn’t much of a chore as washing dishes or cleaning the bathroom, but I love making my bed. It gives me a sense of productivity and accomplishment, and it’s honestly a form of self-care. I always have the option of letting my bed stay messy and then feeling like shit about it the whole day, so when I do make my bed and fold up my blanket and everything, it gets a little easier to pat myself on the shoulder.

28 - Do you still live in the area you grew up in? Would you like to live somewhere else one day? Where would you go? Yeah, we literally just moved to the village right next to the one I grew up in. I’ve lived here nearly all my life, so I can’t wait to move someplace else. In the city, preferably; with skyscrapers and the constant sound of traffic, construction, and people walking. I feel I’d be happier there.

29 - Do you smoke, drink or do drugs? How old were you the first time you tried those things?  Do you want to quit? I drink, vape, and smoke, but I’m not reliant on any of these. I had my first drink at 18, and I smoked and vaped for the first time when I was 21. No, I don’t have plans to quit.

30 - What’s one thing that really grosses you out? Is it something you have to deal with anyway? How do you cope? Cockroaches. Sometimes we’ll see a cockroach roaming around the house, but it’s super rare so I wouldn’t say I regularly deal with them. I cope by yelling for my mom or dad to come kill it, ha.

[master-sass-blast]

Time for me to waddle myself into your ask box and ask for ALL the OTP questions for Kastle~~~

SEFKLJSLKFJDSLFLDSKDHHDSLKSLSLDKFJLDSL

Okay, okay, deep breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

*hyperventilates*

(Throwing this under a cut for length reasons; my deepest apologies if you’re on mobile.)

Okay, so let it be known that I am fond of some very specific Kastle tropes, namely where both Karen and Frank are hot messes and really don’t have their shit together, so that’s gonna be immensely present in this list.

1. Acts like they’re dying when they have a cold: I’d venture to say neither; they’re both the type to soldier through like nothing’s changed until the other person ties them to the bed and laces their drink with Nyquil to make them sleep.

2. Gets mad at the TV and throws the remote: Again, I’d say neither, but if someone was going to do it, it’d be Karen. I think Frank would be too self-aware of keeping his rage/strength in check to do something impulsive like that.

3. Gets the worst road rage: KAREN. Like, Frank will get annoyed, but Karen Page has road rage rivaled by none other. She’s the type to swear like a sailor and level death threats at the other drives, which amuses Frank to no end.

4. Spends too much time in the bathroom on their phone: Canonically, Frank basically doesn’t have a phone (I’m sorry, but fucking flip phones don’t fucking count), so Karen. Mostly because she’s trying to keep track of news stuff as a journalist/private investigator.

 5. Packs the whole closet for an overnight trip: Frank. Except the closet is his entire arsenal, the dork.

6. Hates the in-laws: Also Frank. It’s fanon that Frank’s parents had him old and aren’t around during DD/TP, and it’s canon that Karen’s mom is dead, which just leaves Karen’s dead, and whooooo boy.

Do you honestly think that Frank Castle, the man who loved and lost his family, the man who’s calming mantra is a phrase from a book that his daughter loved, would be amiable with the likes of Mr. Page, who told his daughter that he didn’t want to see her again after she got into a car crash/the death of her brother, and turned her away when there was a literal assassin after her?

Because I don’t.

So, yeah. Frank hates Mr. Page and would have no issue letting him know that with exact reasons. Maybe a Powerpoint presentation too, just to drive the point home.

7. Hits the snooze button…11 times: Karen, because she’s up too late at night researching.

8. Makes the other late for work: Karen, actually. She’s usually running late for her own work, and Frank’s a stickler about timing so he’s not about to delay her any further than she’s already delayed herself. If we’re talking about the odd jobs/construction work he picks up, he’s usually a little late because she needs to shower, and he lets her go before him so she can get to work on time, which pushes his schedule back.

Not that you’d ever hear him complain about it, though. It’s basically canon that Frank Castle would let Karen Page get away with murder.

And if we’re talking about Frank’s Punisher “work,” well, Karen still runs the end of making him late for a few things, but that’s for an entirely different set of reasons. *wink wonk*

9. Uses the television as a babysitter: Karen, but only because she’s usually super busy with work.

10. Takes in the stray dog: Frank. He basically already did that in Season 2 of Daredevil. Next question.

11. Suggests a 3am trip to McDonald’s: Karen, because she’s up late researching.

Frank always humors her.

12. Leaves their shoes out for the other to trip over: Karen. Frank’s too neurotically organized (military) to leave his shoes everywhere.

(Bear in mind, though, that it’s Karen tripping over her own shoes. Frank’s too aware of his surroundings to have that happen to him.)

 13. Can’t make up their mind when it comes to dinner: Frank, actually. The military wasn’t exactly the places of many choices, and Maria usually handled meals when he was home so he usually wasn’t in the wheelhouse when it came to making those decisions. Plus, as the Punisher, he sticks to nonperishables (canned food, MREs, etc) and coffee, so it’s not like he’s got a ton of choice now, anyway.

He usually lets Karen order and calls it good. He likes just about anything she picks, anyway.

14. Needs to be reminded of all their appointments: Karen, mostly because she’s liable to overbook herself otherwise.

And the only appointments Frank keeps are murder-y ones, so… yeah. Karen.

 15. Bribes the other into doing chores, getting out of the house…and taking a shower: Doing chores and taking a shower? Neither of them. They’re both pretty functional in that area.

Getting out of the house (or, more accurately, doing something that’s not work)? They both have to do it with each other on a regular basis. Karen’s go-to’s with Frank usually involve dogs; Frank’s go-to’s with Karen usually… also involve dogs.

They’re people of similar tastes.

 16. Picks the movies: Both of them.

17. Takes the safety steps when building a pillow fort: Frank. “If you’re gonna build a pillow fort, you gotta do it right, Page.”

Karen thinks he’s nuts, but lets him do it anyway.

18. Kisses the other’s injuries better: Both of them do.

Karen does it before/during/after making love (and in general, but there’s more access to Frank’s skin when they’re, you know, naked or in the process of becoming naked), as a way of reminding him that she loves him and he deserves to be loved.

Frank does it once when she scrapes her knee (she tripped on a flight of stairs) out of the habit of having been a father, and then Karen asks him to “kiss it better” each time she gets an injury afterwards.

Which he does because he loves her and we all know that Frank would do just about anything for Karen Page.

19. Is addicted to angry birds, game of war, candy crush, temple run, or flappy bird: FRANK. He’s got to have something to do to pass the time on his stakeouts (look, I know this doesn’t match up with what I said about his flip phones, but just humor me, okay).

20. Kills the spiders: Frank. Karen’ll do it, but she likes having Frank do it (and he likes being rewarded with her kisses, so it works for both of them).

21. Hogs the blankets: Karen. Take one look at Karen/Deborah Ann Woll and tell me that someone that petite (frame wise, she’s taller than me and I’m tall) doesn’t get cold easy. Go on. I’ll wait.

22. Takes pranks too far: Neither of them. They’re both pretty careful with each other in that regard.

23. Makes the dirty jokes: They’ll both make the occasional joke, but neither of them are “frat boys” about it.

24. Keeps a piggy bank: Karen. It’s a convenient place to keep her spare change.

25. Has no problem having ice cream for breakfast: Karen, if only to piss Frank off.

26. Gets a tattoo when they’re drunk: Frank’s been there, done that, during his bootcamp days.

27. Trips over their own feet: Karen, every now and then.

 28. Makes the other go for a walk: Frank. Karen works a lot of long hours, so he makes a point to drag her outside and make her stretch her legs.

29. Whines until they get what they want: Karen, mostly because it makes Frank laugh.

 30. Tries to act tough but really isn’t: Neither of them. These two are tough as nails when it comes to it.

31. Talks the most, says the least: Karen. Granted, Karen knows how to make her words count when she needs to, but she’s more prone to rambling.

32. Talks the least, says the most: Frank Castle, aka the Man of Few Words and Many Grunts.

[psychdyke]

lou x deb for ALL of them 🙄😎

gladly ;)

1. Acts like they’re dying when they have a cold. neither, really, because Debbie doesn’t ever admit that she’s sick, and Lou is pretty responsible about being sick (but she can be a bit over the top about it)

2. Gets mad at the TV and throws the remote. Debbie probably

3. Gets the worst road rage.this is cheating but Tammy goes WILD behind the wheel - Lou is chill and Debbie only gets mildly annoyed when people drive shitty

4. Spends too much time in the bathroom on their phone. Constance puts a game app on Debbie’s phone and… Debbie gets sucked into it, as much as she likes to deny it

5. Packs the whole closet for an overnight trip. Lou lol

6. Hates the in-laws. okay I have a super elaborate hc for my series so - Debbie hates Lou’s parents

7. Hits the snooze button…11 times. Debbie, if she were to have an alarm (Lou is the only one between the two of them who ever made attempts at honest employment so she’s the only one who’s ever really needed an alarm) 

8. Makes the other late for work. again, Lou is the only one who ever really had a job so Debbie makes her late (or tries to) - but to other events, Lou definitely likes making them both late

9. Uses the television as a babysitter. Debbie just hands Constance the remote when she wants her to be quiet (it doesn’t always work tho)

10. Takes in the stray dog. Lou.

11. Suggests a 3am trip to McDonald’s. Debbie (Lou isn’t a fan of McDonald’s but often enough she’ll still get food from somewhere else at the most ungodly hours)

12. Leaves their shoes out for the other to trip over. Debbie will kick off her heels anywhere and Lou does not like it

13. Can’t make up their mind when it comes to dinner. Lou constantly has new recipes she wants to try so sometimes she can’t pick which to do first, but if they order food they just get a lot of different things and share

14. Needs to be reminded of all their appointments. Debbie is super meticulous when it comes to heist planning but a doctor’s appointment? Lou has to remind her ten times and she still forgets (maybe on purpose? who knows)

15. Bribes the other into doing chores, getting out of the house…and taking a shower. it depends, really 

16. Picks the movies. both, but Debbie more often - at least before the heist, because after, Constance constantly steals the remote and picks the movie

17. Takes the safety steps when building a pillow fort. Lou

18. Kisses the other’s injuries better. Lou, despite Debbie’s protests that she’s fine

19. Is addicted to angry birds, game of war, candy crush, temple run, or flappy bird. Debbie, definitely, after Constance puts some game apps on her phone

20. Kills the spiders. Lou

21. Hogs the blankets. Lou, she takes up all the space in bed and also steals the blanket, but more often than not she ends up draped over Debbie or holding her so the blanket remains over the both of them (or Debbie is warm either way)

22. Takes pranks too far. they’re both pretty sensible about each other’s feelings and boundaries so, neither really (maybe a bad jokes hits the other the wrong way but nothing serious at least)

23. Makes the dirty jokes. is that even a question? Lou

24. Keeps a piggy bank. Lou, for sentimental reasons maybe

25. Has no problem having ice cream for breakfast. Debbie

26. Gets a tattoo when they’re drunk. I’m inclined to say Lou bc she definitely has tattoos but… Debbie definitely once got absolutely shit-faced and thought getting a tattoo was the greatest idea of all

27. Trips over their own feet. Lou can be a bit clumsy, but that only seems to come with her wearing pajamas 

28. Makes the other go for a walk. Lou probably (tho she prefers taking Debbie for a ride)

29. Whines until they get what they want. Debbie

30. Tries to act tough but really isn’t. Lou is both tough and a giant softie, it just depends on the person she’s with

31. Talks the most, says the least. unless it concerns a job, Debbie can have quite the difficulties with finding the right words (esp when it comes to her feelings)

32. Talks the least, says the most.Lou has a way with words and she can get straight to the point (she also has a lot of discussions about philosophy with nine ball probably)

send me otp questions!

[subtlize]

I don’t get very many asks (none) but I really wanted to do one of those like “tag your otp” prompt thingos that would be weird to post on ao3, but like, hella perfect to post here so… here we are:

The Klance ~ Modern AU ~ Edition

1. Acts like they’re dying when they have a cold.  

Lance is kind of used to having his mom baby him when he’s sick, so now that he’s moved out and his mom isn’t there to fix everything, he’s frantically reading symptoms on WebMD and diagnosing himself with stage 4 cancer.

2. Gets mad at the TV and throws the remote. 

Depends what show. I’d say both Keith and Lance get hella invested in TV shows and throw the remote, then spend like… hours trying to find it the next day.

3. Gets the worst road rage.

Probably Keith. Angery boyo. He can’t help that people don’t know how to drive.

4. Spends too much time in the bathroom on their phone. 

Keith. It’s his Alone Time™ let him have this.

5. Packs the whole closet for an overnight trip. 

Lance always forgets something and he hates forgetting things so he just packs everything. It’s better to have too much than forget something he needed… Keith, however, disagrees. 

6. Hates the in-laws. 

Keith. But Lance knows this so he’s skilled at steadily steering them away from asking Keith too many questions. Lance is more than happy to answer for Keith. 

7. Hits the snooze button…11 times. 

Where Keith will sit straight up in bed and stumble towards the bathroom when the alarm goes off, Lance just… keeps… hitting the snooze button until he’s ready. (Time is an illusion anyway). ((Keith insists that’s not how it works)).

8. Makes the other late for work. 

Lance “yeah, yeah I’m COMING, jesus” McClain continues to make Keith “Lance, 15 minutes and we’re leaving okay? … Lance?” Kogane late all the time. Because they’re good boyos and carpool to work to Save The Environment™ 

9. Uses the television as a babysitter. 

They rarely have to babysit but when they DO, Keith would definitely leave the television on to do the entertaining. Lance LOVES kids though and always wants to play with them so this rarely happens. There was that one time however…

10. Takes in the stray dog.

Keith. He relates, poor dude, and animals just stick to him.

“He was in the rain, Lance. I wasn’t just going to leave him there.” and Lance kisses his head and says they can keep it because Lance is just as bad at saying no to Keith as Keith is to saying no to strays.

11. Suggests a 3am trip to McDonald’s. 

Keith, only because he’s awake at crazy hours.

12. Leaves their shoes out for the other to trip over.

I think they both do this. But Keith is better at remembering to put his away than Lance is.

13. Can’t make up their mind when it comes to dinner.

Keith is relatively easy going when it comes to food, and Lance cares for like a millisecond before they both break down and order take-out. But that’s another whole thing because it takes Lance a while to figure out what he’s feeling like.

14. Needs to be reminded of all their appointments. 

Lance. He tries to set alarms on his phone but his instinct is to snooze them. So, Keith has picked up the habit of texting or calling Lance an hour, half hour, and fifteen minutes before all appointments. Lance has to remind Keith about therapy though because Keith doesn’t like going and will “forget”.

15. Bribes the other into doing chores, getting out of the house…and taking a shower. 

Lance only does this as a joke. If Keith is having a relatively bad Brain Day, Lance will gently coax him into taking a shower, brushing his teeth ect. but Lance is able to read a room and can tell if Keith is in the mood for a little light bribing.

16. Picks the movies. 

They alternate picking because Keith likes whatever Lance likes and Lance likes whatever Keith likes.

17. Takes the safety steps when building a pillow fort. 

Oh, this screams Keith. “Lance, if we don’t put support somewhere in the middle and two ends, it’s going to collapse.” Lance ends up tackling Keith, tickling his sides and saying how cute he is. The fort, inevitably, falls and Keith pretends to be mad.

18. Kisses the other’s injuries better. 

I think Keith has a bad habit of taking his anger out on himself. But Lance will kiss him dizzy and make sure his injuries aren’t infected, because Keith doesn’t care enough to do it himself. 

19. Is addicted to angry birds, game of war, candy crush, temple run, or flappy bird. 

Lance “can’t stand iPhone games” because the “screen’s too small” but Keith somehow always finds him playing them.  

20. Kills the spiders. 

Keith, but he doesn’t kill them. He scoops them onto a paper towel and lets them free out the window or door. Lance doesn’t get it. 

21. Hogs the blankets.

Lance.

22. Takes pranks too far. 

KEITH. He likes the competition and isn’t always aware when something has crossed a line. He won’t ever do anything that’ll actually harm or publicly embarrass Lance, but he will be a little extreme. Lance will usually have to tell him to stop and Keith always obliges. 

23. Makes the dirty jokes. 

Lance, and he won’t give it up until Keith acknowledges that it was funny.

24. Keeps a piggy bank. 

Mr. Lance. His youngest sibling gave it to him and loves telling her that he uses it all the time.

25. Has no problem having ice cream for breakfast.

Keith.

26. Gets a tattoo when they’re drunk.

Neither. But inebriated Keith likes to tell the story of when Shiro did.

27. Trips over their own feet. 

Keith. Lance has been instructed to “not notice”. 

28. Makes the other go for a walk. 

Lance. Keith lacks self preservation.

29. Whines until they get what they want. 

LANCE. Lance Lance Lance. He usually doesn’t have to whine for long though.

30. Tries to act tough but really isn’t. 

It depends on the situation… 

Keith in an animal shelter? He’s melting on the inside.

“Just one more cat, Lance. Look at how sad she looks.” *prods at cat through cage* “Hi! Hi little girl! You’re so pretty!” 

And Lance tries to act tough with spiders. It generally doesn’t work out. “I’m serious! The little shit tried to attack me!”

31. Talks the most, says the least.

Lance.

32. Talks the least, says the most.

Keith.

PLEASE DO THE WHOLE OTP THING FOR CHRIL PLEASE I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER PLEASE

ugh fine i guess

;)

1. Acts like they’re dying when they have a cold. 

Chris, obviously. For one, because he’s the one who actually gets sick - Phil almost never does - and for another, because...well...he doesn’t do intermediate, tbh. When he’s injured or ill, Chris is either “I’m fine, quit worrying” or “the end is nigh.” The end is usually nigh when he’s got the sniffles, and he’s usually fine and everybody else is overreacting when he’s got massive head trauma and Phil’s literally holding his liver in place with his hands.

2. Gets mad at the TV and throws the remote. 

They’re probably both pretty okay about this, though Chris is more likely to get that worked up about a TV show.

3. Gets the worst road rage.

Chris, for sure. He’s the more technically skilled driver (strong headcanon that Phil can’t parallel park for shit), but Phil’s much calmer behind the wheel, especially in traffic or bad weather.

4. Spends too much time in the bathroom on their phone. 

This screams Phil. Phil is prone to losing track of time.

5. Packs the whole closet for an overnight trip. 

Overnight trips are probably work related, so neither of them. Vacations, however? Probably Chris. He’s a vain little shit when he really wants to show off ;)

6. Hates the in-laws. 

(NOTE: This will vary depending on what universe you’re operating in. I’m operating in my horizons universe, so take strong note of that.)

Neither of them. Chris adores Phil’s mom and dad and siblings. Phil’s never met Chris’ parents - he holds no ill will against Chris’ mother, for sure, and knows that Chris’ relationship with his father is complicated enough on its own without Phil getting his own feelings all up in the way.

7. Hits the snooze button…11 times. 

Given the opportunity, Phil would cheerfully sleep until 1500 hours every day.

8. Makes the other late for work. 

If you don’t think they’re both guilty as sin for this, I don’t even know what to tell you.

9. Uses the television as a babysitter. 

Neither of them need to. Jim uses the television as his babysitter all by himself. ;)

10. Takes in the stray dog. 

They found her while they were walking around their neighborhood - slowly, accounting for Chris’ mobility - right after they bought a house together. She was an older dog, a lifelong street dog, who lived on handouts from the neighbors. She was about ninety percent muscle, but had stunning markings and a really sweet disposition. On about the tenth time they see her while walking around, they sit down with her. She gleefully accepts their pets and belly rubs. Out of the blue, she turns to Chris and licks a wide stripe down his face.

They take her home that night and flip a coin to decide who names her. Phil wins and calls her Duck.

11. Suggests a 3am trip to McDonald’s. 

They both do this on the regular.

“Hey. Hey. *poking* Wakeupwakeupwakeup...”

“Mmmrph. Huh?”

“You know what sounds good? French fries.”

“...it’s four o’clock in the fucking morning.”

“Tell me it doesn’t sound good.”

“...I hate you. Where are my shoes?”

12. Leaves their shoes out for the other to trip over. 

Chris. But it’s payback, because Phil has never gotten his scrub top into the hamper, literally ever.

13. Can’t make up their mind when it comes to dinner. 

Chris, which is good, because Phil’s the only one who ever cooks, and Phil has a damn good understanding of what Chris likes.

14. Needs to be reminded of all their appointments. 

Phil is the dearest, sweetest, most darling man in the world, but he would forget his own name if he weren’t wearing it around his neck all damn day.

15. Bribes the other into doing chores, getting out of the house…and taking a shower. 

Phil is more likely to use bribery as a technique; however, Chris is usually more successful when he goes for it, because he’s more likely to dispense with any pretense and jump straight to if you do this I’ll blow you into next week.

16. Picks the movies. 

They trade off on this, but generally have the same taste in movies. 

17. Takes the safety steps when building a pillow fort. 

Phil is the cautious party, because Chris is the captain and an impulsive little shit.

18. Kisses the other’s injuries better. 

Phil, obviously. (It’s his job.)

19. Is addicted to angry birds, game of war, candy crush, temple run, or flappy bird. 

They can both damn Jim into next week for turning them on to this shit.

20. Kills the spiders. 

Neither of them. Chris shrieks and jumps on chairs at the sight of any creepy-crawly. Phil cups them and lovingly places them outside, then rolls his eyes and helps his boyfriend down from the chair.

21. Hogs the blankets. 

Phil. He’s always cold, while Chris is a furnace.

22. Takes pranks too far. 

Neither of them. They both know where the lines are.

23. Makes the dirty jokes. 

Chris makes them, but they’re terrible. Phil’s have the dual advantage of being much better and totally unexpected.

24. Keeps a piggy bank. 

This just screams Phil to me and I don’t even know why???

25. Has no problem having ice cream for breakfast. 

“...I swear to god, Christopher, when you single-handedly resurrect diabetes from the grave we buried it in a hundred and fifty years ago, don’t come crying to me.”

26. Gets a tattoo when they’re drunk. 

Honestly, I can easily see either of them doing this. (Chris might be slightly more prone, but only because he gets drunker than Phil does.)

27. Trips over their own feet. 

Phil’s a clumsy little love :)

28. Makes the other go for a walk. 

Phil, especially post-Narada, when Chris is doing PT and starting to be able to walk again. Chris hates him a little for it, but loves him dearly for making him push through, especially when it starts working.

29. Whines until they get what they want. 

Chris. His excuse? “I am younger than you, you know.” Phil smacks him with a towel.

30. Tries to act tough but really isn’t. 

A difficult question. Chris and Phil are both incredibly strong, tough men - they have to be, to do what they do and be in charge, to have lived through the things they’ve experienced. But the people who serve under both of them - who are rightfully intimidated by them - rapidly come to realize that they’re hardasses because they have to be, and that they’re really very compassionate, gentle men who are eager to help. (Of course, with one another, they’re both fucking marshmallow fluff.)

31. Talks the most, says the least. 

Neither of them are especially loquacious, though Phil tends to be the one who prompts the “talking out” of things.

32. Talks the least, says the most.

Both of them. They have entire conversations without saying a word.

I LOVE THESE IDIOTS THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT

Part 2 of 4: Solution To Overcoming Your Mental Barriers and Cultivating A Winner's Mentality

Part II:

Moving on, I feel compelled to share this next short piece, because it concerns a topic that is near and dear to my heart: depression and low self-esteem.

This essay of sorts was actually written to a friend of a friend who has been struggling with his own depression, low confidence, and feeling "stuck" for lack of a better word.

Also, this man, Chris, is not exactly dealing with the best of circumstances.

He is a young, 18-year-old man just out of high school, coming from a single-family home in gang-heavy Camden, NJ (one of the deadliest and most under-served cities in the U.S.)

The good thing is he is on the right path and has entered college as of September 2013. And from what my friend tells me (she was his high school mentor), he is a very smart, kind, and caring young man.

Chris wrote my friend, Melissa, an email telling her how life has been very tough, he's sad all the time, has trouble finding true friends at school, and that he feels like he's stuck with "no way out".

My friend then asked for some guidance from me, as I've dealt with many of the same exact issues myself in the past.

Here's what I said, and here's what I think anyone can apply to their life, whether depressed, just feeling down, out of luck, or feeling "not good enough" or "not worthy" or "defeated" or who think it's "too hard", or whatever it is keeping them from their goals, desires, and dreams:

 "I know how you must feel, but it's not true that things won't get better. They always do. It just takes longer for some.

But that's never a reason to give up.

And I know it's hard to see now, but there's a good side to this, as there is with everything in life.

In this case, the good side is you're getting stronger every single day that you push through the struggles, hard feelings and negative thoughts.

You get so strong that by the time you overcome this (it always happens), you're a machine and nothing fazes you.

You will see amazing things come into your life and you will start doing amazing things.

And while everyone else is doubting themselves when the going gets tough...you'll laugh and get through difficulties like a walk in the park.

Because you've already done the hard work. You've seen the living hell on the bottom and you still fought it and made it out.

You've developed a massive level of inner strength and confidence, whether you realize it or not.

And when you bring this strength to anything in life, whether its writing music, starting a business, getting lean, or doing whatever you want in life...you'll see that it's much easier for you than anyone else.

You've already done the much harder work of battling depression, and you're winning. Keep this with you when your mind keeps filling with negativity and self-hatred. As real as it feels, every single second you fight it, you get better, smarter and stronger.

Here's a fun little exercise: think about anything and everything you want, no matter how insane it sounds. And write it down. If you want ten million dollars or a threesome with some gorgeous models or you want to buy your own island, or be famous, or have a 3 car garage with a Mercedes, Ferrari, and Aston Martin...or if all you want is to be happy every day, write it all down.

And understand that you can have it ALL. And you will.

When the time comes that you realize your true strength and potential, you'll see a miraculous transformation where you go after all your goals and desires...without letting anything stop you.

You'll rip shit up and destroy the competition, and you'll do it better and faster than anyone else.

So as bad as it looks now, just keep looking up. Keep on searching and striving for more.

A lot of people are stuck in depressive, hellish situations, and it definitely sucks, but there is ALWAYS a way out. Don't give up.

Also, there are little things you can do every day to start feeling better.

You see, every day is a chance to have an amazing life and do amazing things. Even more so, every day is a chance to help someone else or do a simple little thing to brighten someone's day.

The thing about life that most people don't tell you is...to build self-esteem and to feel better, you have to:

1) Do esteem-able things

2) "Fake it til you make it"

Remember that you're the shit and you have an amazing personality. You have so much to give to others.

So much so that it'll make them smile and laugh and love their life...and after you do this, you'll see the rewards and happiness come back to you tenfold.

To be clear, you don't have to anything above and beyond to reap the benefits.

A simple smile or hello or just holding open the door could mean the world to someone.

While you're in your own dark spot, someone else could be in the same spot too. And you never know if you saying "hi" or smiling to them was the 1st nice thing someone said to them all week.

That simple little gesture could make someone's day, week or month. You just never know. So give a little bit back whenever you can. And when you see the joy it brings them, you'll slowly but surely feel better too."

Moral of the story: NEVER give up. Keep pushing, keep working, and keeping reaching to be the best you can be. And one day you'll get it. And then you'll move on to even bigger and better things. Most importantly, keep helping others. Give all that you can through love and kindness, and you will reap the rewards tenfold. Challenge yourself and greatness will come. It isn't always easy, that's for sure, but it is definitely worth it.

ALL 53 :V

OH GOD HERE WE GO :V

1. What do you put on hotdogs? Just ketchup and mustard. This gal doesn’t have the patience or the will to attempt to handle an overladen hot dog.

2. Do you say “anticlimatic” or “anticlimactic”? “Anticlimactic”, and it genuinely pained me to write “anticlimatic”.

3. Do you check flyers before grocery shopping? No, I don’t, but honestly, I probably should.

4. Blue, black, or some other color pen ink? Black usually, but blue if it’s the only one available.

5. Do you use your parking brake? YES. I have seen what happens when that thing isn’t used. Not pretty. Not fun. Parking brake for me, please.

6. Look to your left. How many framed pictures are there on the wall? On the wall, none. There’s one sitting on top of a bin, though. (signed picture of Orlando Bloom as Legolas. I had a crush.)

7. Do you know how to play chess? Yes. The real question is “Can I play well?” to which the answer is a resounding NOOOOOOOOOO.

8. How often do you clean the interior of your car? Not often at all, seeing as I don’t have one anymore.

9. Do you ever read the last few pages first? Never on purpose, but I leaf through pages idly and sometimes spoil things for myself like a NOOB.

10. Ever fallen in the shower? YES, and lemme tell you, THAT SHIT HURTS.

11. On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to swear at other drivers? PRETTY FUCKIN’ LIKELY, ‘SPECIALLY IF THEY DON’T USE THEIR GODDAMN BLINKERS!

12. What’s the worst thing you’ve called someone you cared about? I hate to admit it, but I have called an ex (who I was dating at the time) a bitch, though in recent years I have made sure to check my emotions at the door in very tense moments, so I thankfully have avoided that kind of insult.

13. Do you have a Snuggie? A Snuggie? In this economy? Lol nope.

14. Are you allergic to anything? OH LORDY AM I! Three types of grass, two types of tree, latex, codeine, and POSSIBLY FRICKLE-FRACKIN’ GLUTEN.

15.  Do you have any TV shows on DVD? I have the first season of Criminal Minds, which I still count among the greatest seasons of television ever created.

16. How many times do you hit the snooze button before getting out of bed? Out? of? bed? What is this “out of bed” you speak of? No but seriously, I hit that shit at least twice.

17. Ever driven away in anger? Can’t say for sure, but I’m an angry person, so probably.

18. What’s your favorite freezie color? BLUE ALL THE WAY

19. Are you a vegetarian? Vegan, in fact, about five-and-a-half years running.

20. Do you have a garbage receptacle beside you? What’s on top? not directly beside, but a couple feet away, and nothing but the lid.

21. Do you cross out your mistakes or erase/whiteout them? It depends. If I’m using pen, I’ll cross them out. Pencil, I’ll erase. If it’s important though, like a card or a letter, I’ll usually start all the way over on a sheet/card.

22. Ever torn something up that you instantly knew was too important for such treatment? Almost guaranteed, but I don’t recall any instance in particular.

23. Do you think that things will get better? Okay well that’s an interesting thing to ask, because yes and no. I’ve dealt with depression all my life, and am struggling particularly recently, so my instant answer is “no are you kidding?” but the fact that I’m able to nail that down as a symptom of my depression means that logically I am able to say “yes, absolutely, in time”.

24. Do you have an unpopular opinion? Oh shit, an unpopular opinion? On Tumblr? Do you want me to be banished? No but seriously, “unpopular” is so subjective, and honestly, I’ve stopped giving two flying fucks what’s a “popular opinion”, which I wholeheartedly encourage amongst all my followers. Don’t care what’s “popular”. Care what’s right. But if I must: “health days” at businesses, where they shut down elevators for the day to “promote exercise” should be illegal, period, end of sentence.

25. What’s your favorite quote? I honestly have so many quotes that I love. So many. If I really gotta choose, it’s actually a pretty simple one, from my favorite book of all time, The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss. ““Yes, I suppose I am,” Kvothe said, and his voice had iron in it.” I won’t say any more on the context. It just sticks with me even all these years later, “and his voice had iron in it” LIKE HOW AWESOME IS THAT WORD CHOICE?

26. Did you/are you going to prom? Yes, I did, three years, actually. I was dating someone one year ahead of me and was able to go to her junior prom when I was a sophomore. Not nearly all it’s cracked up to be.

27. What’s the most physically painful thing you’ve ever experienced? One night, a few years ago, I was lying in bed, and literally all of a sudden, I had the sharpest pain in my stomach. I was doubled over. I was cursing at my mom in pain. I was in tears. Went to the emergency room. NO ONE EVER KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG. Never happened again. Freaks me out to this day.

28. What’s the most emotionally/mentally painful thing you’ve ever experienced? Falling in love with someone who didn’t fall in love with me.

29. Have you ever legitimately saved a person’s life? Well, I played a part in the saving of one life, but I wouldn’t put it so directly.

30. What’s your favorite book genre? FANTASYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

31. Did you like “Gigli”? Be honest. Honestly, never saw it. Don’t care. If I don’t ever see it, I won’t count it a loss.

32. Have you ever walked out of a movie at the theatre? Walked? No. Wheeled? Yes. I mean, that is how one leaves a movie, is it not? Otherwise, I’d still be in the theatre for Lion King. Have I ever wheeled out in the middle of the movie? Probably, but I don’t recall (do you notice something about me? I don’t remember shit well)

33. Do you peek between your fingers during the scary scenes? NOPE! I’m either glued to it or muh eyes are SHUT TIGHT.

34. What was your reaction to Tatum getting killed whilst stuck in the pet door in Scream? Never saw it, not gonna.

35. Do dogs like you? They’re often scared of my wheelchair, especially small ones, but if they can get past it, they love me.

36. Would you say you project an air of authority? Not even close, y’all. Not even close.

37. Do people listen when you speak? The people I keep around do.

38. How are your elbows? Are they okay? Dry as hell in summer and anxious for the return of Stranger Things, but otherwise fine.

39. What is one thing that you do exceptionally well? Be honest. Writing. I love it, and when I have the spoons, it’s all I wanna do, so I’ve gotten pretty dern talented if I do say so myself.

40. Do you use torrents? HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE SUCH DISHONOR UPON MY NAME?

41. When was the last time you paid for music? Technically, this month, when my Spotify subscription was renewed.

42. Are you addicted to technology? I’ve never been diagnosed with it officially, but I don’t like to rule things like that out. Anything is possible.

43. Pick a person (you don't need to give their name). How do you feel about them? Be as honest as you can get yourself to be. Okay so I got this friendo I met on here (super specific, I know) but like, they’re an incredible badass, and honestly every time they post anything, it makes me smile and idk I love them so much and they’re an incredible listener, and adorable, and kind, and always inspiring me to push through. They go through a lot of shit, but they’re always looking forward, and I think that is an amazing way to be.

44. Do you check your computer's dictionary for the definition of words you'd otherwise feel confident about using during in-person interactions? Just to be sure? Oh god, not nearly as often as I should.

45. How heavily do you rely on spellcheck and autocorrect? When typing on a computer, not much. on my phone, a helluva lot.

46. Have you ever gotten into an argument on the internet? Did you win? I don’t go into arguments looking for “wins”. I look to stick to what I know to be true, try to open myself to the possibility that I’m not, and being as close to true as possible by the end of the encounter.

47. Do you pause movies/TV shows if you have to go to the bathroom or the kitchen, or do you just let them keep playing? It depends on whether I’ve seen it before. If so, I’ll probably let it run. If not, you bet your ass I’m pausing.

48. If you use a regular alarm clock, do you have it set to music or that obnoxious beeping? I have it set to music from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

49. Peter Pan? Yes? What about him? He’s an overrated character in an overrated story.

50. How often do you fall up the stairs? Seeing as I almost never encounter stairs, not very often.

51. Do you pronounce "anti" as ant-eye or ant-ee? (Example: "That scene was very anticlimactic.") Both, depending on the moment. I’m not a prescriptivist when it comes to most pronunciations. (don’t you dare get me started on “gif” though)

52. Do you pronounce "via" as vee-uh or vie-uh? (Example: "We can get there via Tremont Street.") Vee-uh. Not sure why that one’s so consistent.

53. How often do you forget to close your parentheses? More often than I care to admit.

6/20/17

Recently, I fell into a pothole. While I wish that was a metaphor, it’s not, because my life is actually a dumpster fire that refuses to burn out. Either way, I like to think that God personally chose me to fall into the shit ass hole in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in front of a group of innocent bystanders and a homeless man.

Before I made my way into what appeared to be a tunnel leading to the center of the Earth’s core, I saw my life flash before my eyes.

I was trying to be very sexy and confident that night, but that all turned into a shit show, per usual, due to my inability to just, you know, not make an idiot out of myself. As I tripped over a plate, my ankle and dignity snapped off of my body and fell into a gutter somewhere.

Unfortunately, for me, I was wearing a very short dress that exposed a lot of side boob. Something about a little side boob really does it for the boys, but it’s a lot less hot when your utters just completely fall out into the street.

I’m talking about the kind of scene that parents shield their children’s eyes from. This was full-blown XXX-rated, NSFW. I honestly should’ve been compensated for my work, but not even a single person threw a dirty dollar bill at me.

As I fell, which felt like a solid 27 minutes, each of my boobs plopped out, one by one. Total exposure via clumsy hoof feet leaves a lot less to the imagination. Thankfully, I have great boobs, so I was less embarrassed about flashing a group of people, but that didn’t stop my entire ass from showing.

There I was, humiliated, exposed, vulnerable, hurting, and horrifically embarrassed, but I chose to laugh it off, rather than Scarlett O’Hara the hell out this scene in front of a group of strangers, because frankly my dear, my entire areola was gleaming under the moonlight, which was dramatic enough for me.

I wanted everyone to know that I was not intoxicated, so I yelled very loudly, “I wish I was drunk!” which didn’t exactly seem believable, considering I just face-planted into a giant crevice the size of a full-length Shaquille O’Neal.

My rebel yell was proceeded by quickly stuffing my boobs back into where they belonged and picking up my scraped-up, bleeding knees off the gritty, sage-burning streets of Tuscaloosa. Alabama.

This whole night was a total blow to my already, apparently fragile, ego. I say that in good stride, because about 4 months ago, I was told that I had “ego issues,” after I told a fuckboy that I wasn’t really into what he was all about.

Bye, Felicia.

Nevertheless, my already frail, womanly ego, was about to suffer another devastating blow.

I had dressed up to meet up with this guy who had worked all day and passed out before I even got into town. There weren’t concrete plans, but I was kind of bummed when he hit snooze on me.

But you know what? It was actually really funny, because the whole pothole incident could actually be turned into a metaphor.

Sometimes, life really does throw you a few potholes. You’re just driving along and all of the sudden you hit a bump in the road. Or if you’re anything like me, it’s a bump in the road, followed by an enormous car accident, casually followed by a train ramming into your car at 150 miles per hour.

Some of my greatest lessons have been enormous potholes in the road. It always feels like when I’m traveling down the wrong path, I seem to blow out a tire and be led in a different direction.

Although I’m a huge believer in things happening for a reason, I think I probably just fell into a literal pothole because I’m clumsy, but it did make me think about the concept of picking yourself up and dusting off when life throws shade at you. While, I was on the ground for a few moments, I was able to recover pretty quickly.

Sometimes laughing at yourself is necessary. Learn your lessons, take them in stride, and when you fall into a pothole, pick yourself up and keep moving on. Laying there in agony and acting dramatic only adds insult to injury, which is something that I’ve also learned from.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people for no apparent reason. We’re not meant to understand everything that occurs in our lives, but I like to think that we’re all led on a path. I know I’ve been guilty of thinking that I have it all figured out and then I bust my ass wide-open in the middle of the street. Sometimes it’s meant to work out that way for a reason that we don’t quite understand in the moment.

So basically, what I’m saying is that when you fall on your ass, because you will, stuff your boobs back into your shirt, and keep moving on. Laugh it off, cry it off, bleed it off, whatever you have to do, but don’t take too long getting back up, even if it hurts. You never know what opportunities are waiting for you, even after an epic failure or enormous life change.

Most importantly, be proud of yourself for standing back up. A lot of people don’t have the courage to even try to move forward after they have these experiences. Getting knocked down blows, but it’s really cool to say that you lived and learned from tough times.
