A: i think it would be last night? i don’t know, i had some fun talking to ashy, that at least made me happy xD but other than that, i was there for a friend having a really rough day emotionally and we played 20 questions and i send her a bunch of weird pictures of my dog xD i at least really hope that made her happy Q 17: What were you most afraid of when you were younger? Do you still have that fear? A: the first thing i thought of was this ride at disney world xDxDxD it’s themed around the twilight zone which i’ve never watched and it’s supposed to be like a broken elevator? it goes up and drops and when i was in line i decided i did not want to ride but it was too late to leave so i was just terrified the whole time xDxDxD Q 18: What activity do you do where your mind wanders in thoughts the most? A: hmmm. if it’s thoughts i like, usually i lay down and close my eyes so i can concentrate. if it’s thoughts i don’t like, cranking up my earbuds and finding a book lol Q 19: What animal do you think best reflects your personality?

A: not really irl. have a bunch on here and used to on fandom, tho

Q 26: When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with? A: idk. doesn’t happen a ton xD probably just stuff that’s going on in their lives, tho. like friend or family issues that they want to talk through. Q 27: What is one of your favorite smells? A: hmmm it’s actually kind of a combination but like coffee and mint? like if i’m going somewhere early or i’m stressed and i just have coffee and i’m chewing gum? it’s got an aesthetic ok xD random note, i have scented nail polish. it’s real weird. Q 28: What's something you learned in the last week? A: might have been a little more than a week this super cool study i read about that was showing a connection between autism and these parts of your brain called mirror neutrons? like in neurotypical people, these neurons fire the same if you’re, say, waving your hand, or if you’re watching someone else do it. but when they tried it with autistic kids, they did not fire at all when watching someone else. so they don’t know exactly why yet, but right now they think that could have a lot to do with how hard it is for people on the spectrum to understand little social cues like when someone is being passive aggressive or sarcastic. anyway, that’s my little rant xD i just thought that was super interesting. Q 29: Mountains or ocean? A: ocean in an ideal world, mountains practically Q 30: In your group of friends, what role do you play? A: i’m going to answer this the way other people have told me xD so the innocent one at rowing, the sleep deprived slacker who is funny because her life is a mess at school, the awkward new one at church… what am i here? the hopeless romantic who wants an aesthetic and never actually codes? xDxDxD Q 31: What issue will you always speak your mind about? A: literally just how people need to stop making stupid jokes about things they don’t understand. it’s not that hard. wanting things to look pretty is not you being ocd, it’s you trying to be quirky. adhd isn’t oh look it a squirrel, it’s the brain’s inability to regulate dopamine and it is literally so often misdiagnosed as anxiety and depression if you can figure out how to mask your symptoms until you eventually crash. don’t even get me started on autism or bipolar disorder or ughhh. i can’t tell you how often i ask people to stop making jokes about hurting themselves because it is directly harmful to my mental state. and they don’t get it at ALL. so yeah. there’s that. Q 32: What talent would you show off in a talent show? A: the talent of being able to say the wrong thing in any scenario possible. test me. Q 33: Pirates or ninjas? A: pirates. cooler outfits. Q 34: What dumb accomplishment are you most proud of? A: my ability to slide a reference to a certain book into any conversation Q 35: What incredibly strong opinion do you have that is completely unimportant in the grand scheme of things? A: math is red and english is blue and science is green. Q 36: What was the best compliment you've ever received? A: i feel like a lot of these are just the most recent thing i can think of xD monday i’d had several largely terrible days in a row and i hadn’t eaten anything or had anything to drink or slept (i ended up seeing stars when i picked up some oars, that’s when i remembered i hadn’t had any water xD) and i was overall just kind of a mess and my friend bella said i looked really pretty that day. that sounds so shallow xD it wasn’t really about that, it was more just that i was feeling really bad about myself and she took the time to notice and ask and try to make me feel better. also, i really wanted to believe her bc it was the first time i’d seen my crush in nearly a week xD and just for fun, the worst compliment i’ve received: it’s a tie. one is my guy friend’s dad asking if i lost weight, which i’m fairly sure was supposed to be a compliment, and the other is a rather awkward guy i know trying to make conversation and telling me that he always forgets to pronounce my name right bc he thinks the wrong way (how practically everyone says it) is prettier xDxDxD Q 37: If you lost all of your possessions but one, what would you want it to be? A: oh i hate this question. absolutely hate it with every fiber of my being, always have. i change my answer to the question earlier, my greatest fear was this question coming true and my house burned down and i had to pick one thing to save. Q 38: What story does your family always tell about you? A: again most recently, the time i memorized the poem jabberwocky and preformed it for my class in middle school xD
