» how has you life changed in the last 12 months?
I don't know that it's changed at all really. Maybe simply via the fact that I'm really living on my own more than I was in years prior, or the fact that I seem really interested in moving all the time. Its like I can't settle down, which isn't something I've felt in a really long time. Its a strange feeling, but its also a really welcome one, too.
» what one thing in your life continues to surprise you?
The resilience of one's spirit. Even when you feel completel down, broken and beaten and battered, something gives you the ability to get the fuck back up again and keep going.
» favorite breakfast?
Pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, fruit, OJ, and coffee. With cream and sugar.
» If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about any one thing about yourself, life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know, and why?
I'd like to know if I end up with a family or if I end up being a crazy loner for the rest of my life. I could really see the latter happening, just me, myself, and my computer, hacking government agencies for the rest of my life. The second coming of Snowden or the Sony hacks. Yessss
» What's the wisest thing you have ever heard someone say?
Asante sana Squash banana, Wewe nugu mimi hapana.
» If you could tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?
Don't let shit get you down. Life is going to be hard because you're different from your family. Its not a bad thing, its just a thing. Being different has its perks. Embrace those.
» What quality is your automatic "no fucking way" when pursuing a potential relationship?
If you can't laugh at yourself when you fuck up, I don't really want to waste my time with you. Taking yourself too seriously isn't attractive.

Ran away from home when I was sixteen.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

» do you normally go after men with pregnant significant others? | is homewrecking your thing?
I'll answer these together: No.
» where do you find peace?
There's this grove of trees at my parents house, and you can't see in and you can't see out of it, its like its own little world. I used to go there as a kid and just play or read, to be alone. There's a weeping willow at the center of it and its just peaceful. I still go there, sneak in, recharge, sneak out. I could just walk into the house and go into the backyard but then I have to engage in conversation.
» what annoys you?
Not being able to figure out a problem. Being told what to do. Having my motives questioned.
» what fascinates you?
Technology and what makes things tick.
» what won't you do for love? money?
I'd like to think I wouldn't compromise what I believe in, but love is a tricksie beast and money can sway a lot of people. But I think I can safely say I wouldn't change who I am at heart for either.

» What activities did you like growing up?
I mostly loved solitary things. I loved reading and just playing by myself. I had friends, but there came this time when we were young, you know before most people learn to use their filter, when the fact that I was different from them because this sticking point, like it was a button always pushed. And when that started happening I wanted to be by myself. Grew out of that once filters started being used and I grew a thicker skin, but yes. I also loved board games, video games, and hiking. Oh and swimming. I loooove/looooved swiming.

Something with a Phoenix feather in its core.
» What house are you in? And why? Also, why does that Voldemort dick want you dead so bad?
I'm definitely in Ravenclaw cause i'm smart, but not uber brave or evil or do-gooder. Voldemort wants me dead because i used my muggle magic (aka hacking) to find his horcruxes.
» Is it wrong that I'm doing this when I should be working?
NOPE but you know, dont tell the boss I said that.

This time a friend of mine did this epic wipeout. They slipped on some wet stone and did this tumble through the air and landed in a fountain. Stuck the goddamn landing too.

Nope. That is definitely a myth. Something is always left behind, whether it be biological or technologial, there is always a trail.

To be a dick. No, really, its probably because sour cream can get WORSE. ugh gross.

» what's your favorite sports car?
I follow this author, Maggie Stiefvater, on tumblr and she loves cars and I dont know what this is but i'll take it:
» which habit are you proudest for breaking?
Biting my nails. Seriously I used to do it all the time and it was jsut gross. I started getting regular, plain manicures, nothing fancy, just making them look ship shape, and that helped.
» do you think fish get thirsty?
I think they get thirsty for air the way we get thirsty for water. Or something like that.
» have you ever been jealous of a close friend? if so, how did you handle it?
I used to get jealous of friends when I was younger, really young, and a little when I was a teen. Everyone around me seemed to have the perfect life, the perfect family, but I just never really seemed to fit into mine. I know my parents love me and I know I can be difficult to love in return, but sometimes my life felt like round peg, square hole. And I would get jealous of the families who looked exactly like each other and you could tell who got what genes and it just made me so angry. I mostly grew out of that. I understand I'm different and that sort of makes me unique I guess? This probably isn't even the sort of answer you were looking for, but its the one i got.
» what are your top 5 favorite summer songs?
» What is more important to you? Sex or love? Family or a relationship? Loyalty or going with your gut?
Love. Family. Loyalty, but I trust my gut most times, too.
» You can have one of the following two things: trust/love. What do you pick and why?
I believe they go hand in hand, or they can. Trust is important, so if I have to choose one, I would pick trust. But I've never really been in love and I don't really understand that feeling, so maybe if I felt that, I'd chose love.
» If you had to go back in time and change one thing you've done recently, if you had to, even if you had "no regrets" what would it be?
To answer this requires me to understand a lot of things that have happened to me lately that I either don't understand or don't fully remember. And it feels like this really bit and really complicated and complex puzzle or algorithm that I don't have all the pieces too. And i'm not comfortable with that. So for now I'll be flippant and say I'd change my middle school fashion sense.
» Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a heart break or have never loved before?
True love with a guarantee of heart break. I haven't experienced this yet, but I like to think I will be open enough some day to love someone and let them love me. and if that leads to heart break? then so be it.
