Trick or treat? :D 🎃🎃
You've got a treat! 🍬
Here is a little excerpt of my Route LXVI WIP, which I really enjoyed writing and it still gives me the feels.
Over the thump of the car door closing and the piercing insults my aunt is chanting in between unholy screeches, I remember when my sister pulled me out of the bathtub because she thought I was drowning when I was simply trying to remember how it felt in the womb. It is now when I need a hand to grab me from under the suffocating waters and bring me to the surface. I need to breathe again. But all Emma does is grab aunt Mara so I don't run her over when I hit the road. I don't know yet where I'm going, but I need to drive. Just like how I roll through faces in the diner crowds, how I speed with the delivery bike the days Katie doesn't arrive on time. I need to drive through the city, leaving everything outside and behind at the same time. I need to detach myself from the outside world, and feel I belong in an impassable bubble, floating in a numb place where that last look my mother gave me can't reach me. Nor her words, nor her desperate crying when I got up and left, nor the way aunt Mara smacked me right across the face after trying to scold me.
"I'm not going to pity you as they do, Olivia," she said after noticing my swollen eye watering in silent pain. "I won't believe your excuses. I know you just want to make your mother miserable."
I do. I want to make her feel the desperation we felt when we called up to her and she pretended to be deaf, shutting us out of her room so she could call another lover for the night. I want her to know what it feels like to bang on a door that won't open, to call the name of someone who won't answer. And if karma isn't going to do its work, then I'll do it. Now I'm the one closing the door, shutting everyone outside.
But when I call him, and the phone rings, and he doesn't pick it up, and the music of the last CD Emma left stuck in the car isn't enough to drown the incessant beeps... I find myself banging at the door again. The hopelessness is as heavy as back then, but this time it's even worse because it's my fault I'm alone in a diner's parking, waiting for a temporary distraction that won't help me at all. But I don't cry. I've never cried ever since I chose to shield myself from the world, back in the bathroom stall where I cried for the life I couldn't have. I just sink, wondering if I should just speed towards Miami and drown, or towards Chicago and suffocate. Maybe I should just melt in the car.
"Chloe."
I laugh away unshed tears.
"Hey, Damien. Can we meet?"

Ohh, thanks for the tag, it's such a good question! I wanted to do my main OCs from The trees don't let you see the forest because it's my NaNo project and I have Brainrot, but my most fleshed-out characters are those in Route LXVI, so here we go. I chose some of the most importan ones:
Liv: mental health is important!! Don't bottle it up, don't struggle alone, ask for help. Anyone can benefit from a therapist. Your struggle is not insignificant. You are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. You are allowed to change and improve as a person. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to be happy.
Emma: Shakespearean insults. A whole speech just studying the creative properties of the English language and how to use expressions like "thou fustilarian!" in your daily life. She would also want to talk about sign language, maybe teaming up with Soda and their respective ASL users loved ones.
Soda: the importance of keeping our oceans clean to preserve the marine life and the beauty of our beaches. He'll get sidetracked midway through and will end up talking about that one time his dog made friends with a dolphin.
Damien: road safety. Wear your seatbelt or your helmet, pay attention to the streetlights, keep your distance... you are allowed to go past the speed limit sometimes though. Don't drink beforehand, don't do drugs, stop if you are feeling stressed or sleepy. Completely unrelated, but books are nice.
Lowzs: he'll ramble about his new game hyperfixation or how many different types of error messages you can get in a single programming session and not cry because why, why doesn't the computer add a semicolon if the syntax error implies it knows it's missing!?
Maeve: AI art is not art. Human artists (either traditional or digital) struggle enough to make a living in an already competitive and invisibilizing world. Why buy fake art when actual human beings are fighting to be seen, to live doing what they love?
Mason: how to destroy the life of those who wrong you™.
The next question is: What do your OCs do when they think nobody is looking at them?
I'm soft-tagging @lexiklecksi, @thepitflower, @saintedseraph, @maddstermind, @tzipor-feather-blog, and @e-klair in case they want to answer, and keeping the tag open for anyone to jump in.
OKAY!
WRITEBLRS if you're seeing this, you're legally obligated to reblog with an answer, and then a new question for the next person!
Here's the start:
Which of your OCs is most likely to punch somebody in the face?

tag: heads up seven up LXVI
I was tagged by @oh-no-another-idea! Thank you!
This is from Vessel WIP:
Go to the window, Phyrra whispered at the back of her mind. Sel Phyrra scowled at the ceiling. “Really? Years of silence and now you want me to crack a window?” Just do it. The goddess had the audacity to sound exasperated.
Technically this is six lines, but it's fine. I've gone over many times to make up for it.
I tag @ace-malarky, @revenantlore, @ellatholmes, and anyone else who wants to play! As always, no pressure!

Trick or treat!!!!!!! - @maddstermind
You've got a treat!
Here's a chat scene from Route LXVI. I had to ultimately put it aside because it was not progressing the plot in an already slow chapter, but it was fun to write, and it worked as a great character study. Plus, it marks the beginning of Liv's worst lie~~
The layout is a bit weird because I normally write my chats adjusted to the left or right according to who is talking. Here in Tumblr it's a bit different. Bear with me. There it goes:
You:
Hey remember this convo from the neolitic era
Image
Image
Image
Highzs🎱:
LMAOOO where did you find this?
You:
Image
Image
Got them by digging in ancient discord convos
Highzs🎱:
Damn I didn't know grammar
That youre is killing me
You:
Aw I think you were trying to spell cool
like pot8os
Highzs🎱:
pot8os I'm deceased
You:
When you used to write everything wrong on purpose
Highzs🎱:
to mess up with you
so you wouldn't know when I actually spelt something incorrectly due to me being an idiot
You:
being dyslexic is not cinamons with being and idiot
Highzs🎱:
Synonyms*
You:
I did it on purpose!
Highzs 🎱
You are missing an n too
You:
I don't rely on the autoccorrect
Highzs 🎱
Such a helpful tool, though
Could have saved me some misunderstandings
You:
HAHAHAH
LOWZS I JUST REMEMBERD
That one time you told us that you were sick
Highzs 🎱
HAHAHAH NOOOO
You:
YOU TOLD US YOU HAD ANIME
And I spent the whole afternoon searching "anime illness" on Google
and getting top tens instead of answers
Highzs 🎱
HAHSHHSHS SORRY
But that's the reason you finally watched Your lie in April, so worth it
👉👉
You:
👉👉
Probably my fave dyslexia moment
Highzs 🎱
And meanwhile Soda like
Sucks dude, wanna play some Smash until you get better or
You:
HAHAHAHAH
I distinctly remember the moment you said you just needed iron and he went like what
Highz 🎱
He still teases me about it
Did you know that
In those screenshots you sent
In that conversation
I was kinda
Hinting
Towards him
You:
WHAT
I JUST CHIKES WHAT
Highzs🎱:
WHAT??
You:
CHOKED
I'm rearesding everything
Highzs🎱:
Hahaha really???
Ok you are
Hey runt come back down
You:
I'm back
Dammit Lou
I'm going to be so honest
During that whole conversation
I thought you were talking about me
Highzs🎱:
HAHAHAHA I KNEW IT RUNT
The moment you said
"You know you could tell me anything right?"
You:
I was so abviously trying to ease you idiot
I wanted to be a good friend regardless of the feeling situation
I was so off though, damn
Highzs🎱:
Awwww that's so sweet
I actually did like you for a while though
I was pretty confused
You:
Haha no bet
I'm glad you told me <3
Even though I already knew it lmao
Highzs🎱:
Me too
Now
*uno reverse card*
Tell me who you were referring to
You:
NO SHOT
Highzs🎱:
As that written statement proves
We made a promise for a 50/50
Anytime one of us confesses, the other has to do so
You:
Yeah ._. but I wanted to talk about the present, not the past
Highzs🎱:
The present? Weren't you with Percy?
You:
Uhm I could be poly
Highzs🎱:
Alright, intriguing
But first things first
Years later I'll know who you were referring to in that convo
You:
Man, you already know
Highzs🎱:
Say it
Saaaayyyy it
I'm waiting
You:
Man we were rivals and didn't even know it
Highzs🎱:
Nameeeee
You:
Good grief
It was Soda
Highzs🎱:
WHAT
You:
Don't act surprised you knew it
Highzs🎱:
Okay runt
Why did you never tell me
You:
You've activated my trap card!
Same question back to you
Highzs🎱:
Sexuality struggles plus one of the pivotal points was you
You:
I didn't expect a sound answer
Highzs🎱:
You?
You:
Struggles
Highzs🎱:
Fair enough
You:
I'm returning now to compensate though
I didn't send the screenshots for nothing
If you will also tell me your name, of course
Highzs🎱:
That's the promise we made so
You:
100%?
Highzs🎱:
Cross my heart and hope to die
On three?
You:
Uhh nice
On three
1
Highzs🎱:
1
You:
2!
Highzs🎱:
3!
I like Maeve
You:
I think I like Gray
HWAT
Highzs🎱:
What?????

Manuscript search tag game!
I was tagged by @oh-no-another-idea to find the following words in my WIPs: chocolate, eavesdropping, grief, gay, and super. Beware of little spoilers!
I'm tagging @e-klair @faeveries @rosellemoon and anyone who'd like to participate! This is such a fun tag game, so the more, the merrier. Tag me so I can read your excerpts!
Your words are oblivious, whimsical, queen, mess, and, in honor of the Ides of March, stab.
Here are mine :)
Chocolate, Lunática (rough translation from Spanish)
Cold sweat still drops down my neck, even colder than the snow melting on my skin, but I'm able to breathe again, and the colors have recovered their brightness. Tiaré's hands haven't left my knees. She only takes them off to clean my tears away. The loving touch rips a sob out of me. "I'm sorry. For the panic attack in the middle of nowhere." "For what?" She lets out a sarcastic laugh. "Honestly, Lex, this is the last thing you should be apologizing for. What about having us both out here in the middle of a snowstorm? Or the whole wolf drama and the lies? That's a good starting point if you want forgiveness. Oh, and the bitchy move of taking out your hearing aids so you couldn't hear me complaining? Doesn't that deserve an apology? Or an explanation for that time you were gone four d—" "I get it! Can I invite you to a hot chocolate next weekend and explain? Because it's too long of a story to tell when we are minutes away from dying."
Evaesdropping, By the stars foretold
"You were following me the whole time!?" Ruby's wrath sends a shiver down Zak's back. A rush of primordial power envelops her aura, even if her erratic hand movements betray she's not aware of the energy coursing through her veins. Zak takes a step back. The unpredictable nature of the Fæ is dangerous by itself, but Ruby has no magical knowledge nor, even worse, does she know what she's capable of. "Calm down, Resha" he whispers, holding his hands up even though he would much rather punch her unconscious. "A fight in the Academy will get me expelled and you killed." "I don't care! Nothing is worse than knowing you saw—" She sucks air between her teeth, swaying back and forth with the dragon dagger dancing in her fingers. "Was it fun, Zak? Was it fun eavesdropping on the poor boy with no legs and his desperate sister? Was it like one of your books? Or was the story so boring you will burn it to the ground as you do with everything else?"
Grief, Route LXVI
Her face is rounder than the last time I saw her and, although dark bags rim her long eyelashes, her irises sparkle with joyful hues of golden in green. There's remorse, sadness, something that resembles deep grief when she looks at me. But there's also that glimmer of hope, and that's what sinks my stomach into the abyss.
Gay, Route LXVI
"Okay, and what about...?" Gray leaves the question hanging for such an awkward amount of time I believe he wants me to finish it for him. I grab a lock of hair to braid it but realize I can't do it with just one hand, and I hold the sheets to control the trembles instead. "What about the videos?" I suggest. "No, I don't think they deserve much attention. Whatever you do in your free time is your choice, you know? I'm more worried about..." "Gray, please, you are making me nervous." "Your feelings," he blurts out. "For me." "Oh." I pinch the bridge of my nose to hold in a burning headache. "Okay, that was the most horrible lie ever. I thought it would be ideal if we fell in love with each other because that would add up to my perfect persona. So I pretended I liked you... It's so embarrassing. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable." "It's okay," Gray almost sings when he reassures me. "I was anxious about having to reject you." I gasp and place my hand on my chest as if I was offended. "Would you reject this gorgeous, honest-to-goodness human being? I'm shocked you are—" "Gay," he laughs. "I'm gay. But I would have said 'no' either way because I'm not into blondies." Maeve bends in two and drops the phone, choking on laughter.
Super.
Apparently, I haven't written this word in any of my WIPs except for an unpublished Attack on Titan fanfic, so there you have a bit of angst ._.
"I don't have a damn clue," she says. And when Reiner doesn't reply, she continues."At first, I thought I was right because I was searching for freedom. Such a noble quest! And when I realized you were also searching for freedom but from another perspective, I held to the thought that maybe my way was the best one. But I guess there's a point where boundaries get blurry and right and wrong mix up. And there's no time to try and discern something precise and simple in that mess. Probably what you're looking for doesn't even exist." "So what do you fight for?" She sadly smiles. "To protect those I love. Isn't that enough? You don't have to be a superhero: there are so many things worth fighting for with your bare fists. You can't see it because you are deep in a dark hole, but there's so much love in the world shining for you, waiting for you."
Thanks! That's all for now 💜

Trick or Treat? 🦇
Treat! And thank you for hosting the event, it's been so fun~~
Under the cut there is an excerpt of Route LXVI, the moment Liv realizes she doesn't hate Damien as much as she previously thought.
Something comes over me as I zip up his jacket. Maybe because I felt as if he was embracing me, his warmth and pressure around my shoulders. Maybe because the loneliness I felt melted away while we discussed over tatter tots. Maybe just because I feel like it. I take his hand and smile at him. I want to thank him, but the words stay hidden in the pit of my stomach.
"I just want to see her reaction," I say instead.
I kiss him. He welcomes me back with a hand on my hair that slides through my jaw to tilt it upwards. He deepens the kiss and I barely stifle a moan. He smiles against me. I still taste the cigarettes when he pulls apart, that cloudy haze that stays warm on my lips. I know I should hate that taste. But I don't.
I frow my brow and Damien laughs. He laughs at an expression the waitress made and that I can't see because I'm wondering why don't I hate him. Why can't I hate him? Why do I even want to and why should I? He's made his mistakes, I've made mine, and we are both learning to forgive each other and find the truths beyond.
And I realize, I thought I called Damien because I wouldn't mind hurting him, but that's a lie I told myself. Because he picked up the call, he left a party to come bring me out of my suffocating car and invite me to some drinks, he led the way with his confidently boyish steps and he worried for me, in his own way. And I knew he would do it. I called him not because I didn't care about him, but because he was the only one I wanted to care about me. Because I knew he would be the only one able to understand me. The only one halfway between my persona and my real self.

Hi! This is Minie (@serendipminiewrites) asking from my main blog :)
Happy STS!
If you could make any of your side characters into the main character of their own side novella, who would it be and why? (aka which one of your side characters has the most development lol) What would their story look like?
Hello, Minie! Thanks for the ask, and sorry for taking a while to answer: juggling college and a part-time job is a bit draining oops.
If I could make any of my side characters into the main characters of their own novella it would be Damien, one of the love interests from Route LXVI. I have barely scratched the surface of his story from Liv's POV (but that's okay, the more she knows the more she'll like him bc she's demiromantic ehe), and there's still so many questions to answer about him.
I feel like his self-acceptance arc was triggered when Liv came into his life and it could be a nice topic to explore. He goes from being a superficial and selfish bad boy to being an honest and caring bad boy, but most of that development happens out of the POV: Liv only sees the consequences of his inner growth.
In fact, I had planned it to be a stand-alone book but now I feel like the story needs a second part (writer occupational hazards lol), and I'm wondering if it should be told from either his perspective or keeping Liv's POV.

I saw you were looking how to get into the writeblr community.
And I was wondering, what are your current WIP’s or blorbos? Rambles welcome! (No seriously if you look at my blog I am nothing without rambling)
I don’t really know you, but I too want to get in the community more and know more people! Writeblr can be a struggle!
Hi, thank you for the ask and the kind words! I've been working on the answer for a while because tbh I have so many wips (ENFP issues with finishing stuff) that I had to choose those that do have a chance to be completed someday haha
So these are my more advanced wips:
Route LXVI. Status: Fixing plotholes, reducing the number of words, and editing in general. It's my only slice of life so far. I began writing it because I wanted to practice my English and use a real-life setting. I got hooked haha. It tells the story of Liv (Olivia), whose past has affected the way she approaches relationships. The story follows her character development throughout the events that take place around her. I actually wrote a synopsis, soo copy-paste:
Living with her sister in Orlando, with an exhausting job and trying to finish her studies, Olivia has no interest nor time for distracting stuff. But after her online friends suggest she should start taking her gaming channel more seriously, her life changes. Quite literally. Behind anonymity, Liv can have whichever life she wants, away from her most hidden secrets. The new hobby allows her to turn into LXVI, a joyous and bubbly girl with a perfect life. And maybe that's what Liv needs to feel happy again. But, she also has to deal with real life as well, including bad choices, faulty relationships, and the hot new problem called Damien. And, when real and virtual life mix, how many lies are too many lies? How much can you trust someone on the other side? And, what happens if you fall in love with a boy on the other coast of the country?
Lunática. Status: writing. Genre: fantasy. The idea is to have the story set in the current modern world but with magic creatures aka Beasts (werewolves, vampires, witches, and the like), and Hunters of those. It's a mash-up of some different blorbos I previously had and couldn't manage to finish, so I'm still working out how they fit together. In the basic storyline, the main character's family (code name: Lex) belongs to the Hunters faction, but she doesn't know anything about this. Until she saves a "wolf" and later finds a human with the same wound markings, so she adds two + two. As a bonus, she develops water powers that change according to the Moon phase... and she wears hearing aids, which sometimes pick up voices that shouldn't be there... I want to play around with synesthesia, portals, clans, and abilities for this one.
Ichor. Status: planning and world-building. Just like the previous wip, this is a mash-up of ideas, but now in a High Fantasy medieval-like setting where different realms come into play. In this world, the only creatures that are magical by nature are the inhabitants of the other realms (which in layman's terms are shapeshifter angels and demons). Humans have discovered that they can also cast spells if they use the blood of the first group, and this leads to the expected wars, refugees, famine, closed realms, and prejudices. The main character's story is still a mess of imagery I'm yet to put together, but the main idea is for her to be a shapeshifter affiliated with the human military who slowly discovers the plotting going on behind closed doors, as well as the truth about her past.
By the stars foretold. Status: writer's block. This is a High Fantasy set-up where I have 4 different narrators whose stories are alternatively told through the chapters. Each one belongs to a different background, culture, ideology, classical nature element... Their code names are Ruby, Zak, Silva, and Enzo. They intertwine and separate along the story while they all pursue their own goals, which slowly converge into the same one, in a sort of "tangled destinies" story, and I plan for at least one of them to become a 'villain'. There are dragons and other magic creatures, different countries in war, magic academies, royalty plots, tournaments, and bustling city life. The issue? I started writing with no plan in mind because I just wanted to enjoy the characters, and now I've reached a point where I should already know what the end game is. Besides, some ideas overlap with the previous wip! I still have a long way to go but at least I like where it is going.
So these are the most advanced, but I have more blorbos around there which are just a basic idea and some scenes, names or even endings: I have a wip about a magic (called Modulation) Academy where everyone has their own ability, and I have the beginning and the end but not the middle xd.
Anyways! Thanks for letting me ramble! Writeblr is indeed a struggle and this has immensely helped me start expressing myself (and I really like your blog, btw!).
See you around!

Thanks for the tag! I'm editing my Route LXVI WIP and this is the last line I rewrote:
"What? And what's the next lesson about, profe? Hospitality vocabulary?" He sarcastically asks, and when I don't answer he keeps on laughing. "Why are you leaving out the best part of our first encounter?"
I'll soft tag @jules-tells-a-story, @owlbearwrites, @oh-no-another-idea and @did-i-do-this-write. Have fun!
Out of Context Line (Tag Game)
Thank you for the tag, @abalonetea! (This post)
This is perfect because I love sharing out of context lines! I was working on Minding Q's yesterday, so here's my last line:
“I’m gonna take a nap,” Sterling decided, pulling off his coat so he could use it as a blanket. “Wake me up when it’s time for pancakes.”
Gonna gently tag... @athenswrites, @autumnalwalker, @worldsfromhoney, @my-cursed-prince, and open tag for anyone else that wants to play!

Kai, I gave you screentime!
"I'm really good at dating princes I shouldn't date" and "Keeping my boyfriend alive" sent me.
15 Questions: Character interview edition
Thank you @ddbirb for the tag! This is my very first time being tagged for one of these so here goes nothing lolol
I'll be answering these as Odette Vanderwood, the protagonist of one of my WIPs called Taphophobia! Which I haven't made a WIP post for yet because it's more of a casual project thing
For this I'll tag @nightlylaments @halleyuhm and uhh anyone else who would like to do this! (Sorry if I didn't tag you I wasn't sure who was/wasn't tag game friendly ^^; And you can always tell me if you would/would not like to be tagged in the future!)
1. Are you named after anyone?
“Not that I know of. Oh— but recently I was convinced by some friends to watch an animated movie from over a hundred years ago, and I share a name with the protagonist. Small world, it is.”
2. When was the last time you cried?
“Last night when my mom told me she wasn't going to make me any Phở.”
3. Do you have any kids?
“In this economy?”
4. Do you use sarcasm?
“Haha, uh, what do you think?”
5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
“Are they the type of person who would carry snacks around for their friends?”
6. What’s your eye color?
“You’re going to have to see for yourself man. It's pretty freaky.”
7. Scary movies or happy endings?
“You can have both if you're the killer, I think. Oh, wait, I didn't just call myself a serial killer did I—?”
8. Any special talents?
“They say I'm really good at getting myself into trouble by doing absolutely nothing.”
9. Where were you born?
“So I was actually born in Da Nang, but I've been moved around a bit since then.”
10. What are your hobbies?
“Don’t know if this counts but my school once decided to start a chess boxing club. Eventually it got shut down due to a noticeable lack of interest, but a few kids from the neighborhood after school still liked to hold their own championships. I'd turn up from time to time to beat the snot out of a few kids physically and mentally. It helped being the only girl so nobody really expected me to win. Anyway I still play, but no one really wants to play more than one at any given time.”
11. Have you any pets?
“Just one little cat guide who’s been following me around for quite some time now. My má has even started to give him a name because of it, she calls him Mèo. Very creative, I know.”
12. What sports do you play/have played?
“I am a very competitive napper I'll have you know. Oh and there's the boxing thing too I guess.”
13. How tall are you?
“About 1.57 meters, and I think that's the extent of fate's generosity for me."
14. Favorite subject in school?
“I never payed enough attention in school to find out.”
15. Dream job?
“I pet cats and people give me money.”

Hello!! It has been a while because I ✨saved✨ the draft instead of publishing it haha. I loved this tag game! So original and creative! Here it goes then:
I chose Olivia from Route LXVI because she's my most developed main character so far, but I want to do this again sometime for other OCs. I'm tagging @my-cursed-prince and @vsnotresponding because I'd also love to know their characters better (no pressure though).
1. Are you named after anyone?
"Nope! My mother wanted a name that was both English and Spanish, and Olivia happened. And Emma for my sis. Although I took some creative liberties with my name... Nevermind. Call me Liv."
2. When was the last time you cried?
"Yesterday I cried with laughter at a silly pun Soda made. Uhm, the honest answer? Around a year ago. In a bathroom stall. It was awkward."
3. Do you have any kids?
"My sister is the kid."
4. Do you use sarcasm?
"Maybe. If needed."
5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
"Are their hands big enough to choke-? Haha, I'm kidding. The first thing I pay attention to is their voice, their laughter. Although... now that I think about it, Soda's mom is a user of sign language... so what will I look for if I meet her?"
6. What’s your eye color?
"Hazel with gold flakes. I mean, flecks! Just google it."
7. Scary movies or happy endings?
"None. Happy endings are just scary movies cut short. And those aren't pleasant to watch."
8. Any special talents?
"I have an innate talent for not taking anything seriously until it bites me in the ass. Also, skating around while balancing food trays is considered a talent, right?"
9. Where were you born?
"Chicago. I live in Florida now, though. And I hope to move again as soon as I have the money. I've never been too happy anywhere yet. "
10. What are your hobbies?
"Playing video games, chatting, going out... My sister writes from time to time and I like to read her stories. And I like to tell tales myself, although lately, I think I might have gone a bit overboard with that. It's just... Stories are easier to like than real life."
11. Have you any pets?
"I do...n't. I wish I had a cat. You know what? I'll adopt the next stray that crosses my path, just watch me."
12. What sports do you play/have played?
"I was a cheerleader in High School, which was way tougher than it looked. I also liked the one-and-a-half times I surfed. And now I skate around in a diner. Taking that out, sport is not for me."
13. How tall are you?
"1'69 cm. Nice."
14. Favorite subject in school?
"Does the recess count? If not, biology was cool."
15. Dream job?
"Hugging people and animals... Stroke their heads when they are sad, and tell them everything is going to be okay. If only I knew how to do it... Haha, just joking. I only want to be a vet."
