FAQ.
The other day, I realized that I get asked the same questions all the time.
I do know that I'm not a celebrity, and no one really cares.
But I get asked at least one of these every day of my life. So here are the answers.
Cherish them.
HOW DO YOU KNOW EVERYONE?
I don't know. I just do. It's weird.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THESE BANDS?
I don't know. I just do. It's weird.
OMG, ARE THOSE YOUR REAL NAILS?
Yes. You can try to rip them off if you'd like. They're real.
OMG, ARE THOSE YOUR REAL BOOBS?
Just kidding, no one ever asks me that.
WHAT IS THAT RING FOR? / DO YOU STILL HAVE THE PROMISE RING ON? / DO YOU TAKE THAT OFF?
The ring I wear is a "no spreading till the wedding" ring, or a promise ring which represents the vow I made to save my virginity until marriage. I have had it on since before my fourteenth birthday, which means that - yes - I haven't taken it off [ever] in over four years.
YOU DON'T DRINK? YOU DON'T SMOKE? YOU DON'T FUCK DUDES?
Correct. And no, I don't care if you do. What you do is on your own volition, just as what I do is on my own volition. Live and let live.
DID IT HURT WHEN YOU GOT YOUR NOSE PIERCED? WHERE'D YOU GET IT DONE? HOW MUCH? WHAT DID YOUR PARENTS SAY?
Yeah, it did. It hurt for a couple seconds and then it burned for a few minutes, but after that, it was smooth sailing. I got it done at Eternal Tattoos. I don't remember how much it cost, maybe like fifty bucks? And my parents let me do it.
ARE YOU REALLY A REPUBLICAN? YOU LOOK LIBERAL!
Way to stereotype. Yes, I'm super conservative. No, I don't hate gay people. Yes, I respect your opinions. Yes, I'd love to debate or discuss sometime. Yes, I'm voting for DeVos.
ARE YOU REALLY AFRAID OF EYES? WHY?
Yes. I don't know why. There are a few stories to which I can attribute the beginning of my fear, but I don't really like to think about them.
WOULD IT BOTHER YOU IF I DID [INSERT SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH EYES] THIS?
YES. It probably will. So don't try me. Don't even bother asking; just don't do it. No contact touching, eyelid flipping, eye itching...all of that stuff freaks me out, and more. And if you talk about things having to do with eyes in a graphic manner, I'll probably cry. I have before.
HOW DO YOU PUT ON EYELINER?
I just do. Carefully. And no one else can get anywhere near my eyes.
YOU'RE IN ALGEBRA 2? I THOUGHT YOU WERE SMART!
Yanno, I've taken AP English, AP Econ, AP US History, AP English again, years of language, etc. and I'm on the honor roll and I read all the time and I really am an intelligent person. I will admit, however, that I blow at math. I can't understand it and I never could. Math is the only class in which I have ever recieved a C. I am a math dumbass. I joke about it, so you can too. Oh, and I'm not so hot at science, naturally.
YOU'RE 18 AND YOU'VE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND?
Affirmative.
OMGGG ARE YOU ANOREXIC? DO YOU EAT? HOW ARE YOU SO SKINNY?
Yes, I eat! I eat all the time! I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and at least three or four other times during the day. Often times, I sit down and eat an entire pint of ice cream. I'm skinny because this is the way I've always been and I have a fast metabolism. Don't give me shit for it. Seriously. It's not funny.
IS YOUR HAIR NATURALLY CURLY?
Yes.
DO YOU HAVE A TWIN? I SAW THIS GIRL THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE YOU.
No. It's my sister, she's sixteen and we look nothing alike.
The end. Love you guys. :]
