Who knew memes could be thoughtful?
How slowly/quickly would you say you eat?
Usually I eat slowly, but sometimes I just scarf down food like a starving person.

Uh, there are some I might support in concept, generally wars of independence, but in practice, they tend to just end up slaughterfests.
Do you remember how you felt on 9.11? If yes, explain?
Confused. No one would tell me what was going on.

Do you wear any make up? If yes, what?
No.
What do you think of people who always wear make up?
Hmm. The act of always wearing makeup confuses me and makes me a little sad, but I don’t actually think less of my friends who do. I just think they’d be prettier without.

Photoshop like fun special effects? Cool. Photoshop like try to be skinnier than you are? Sad.

Spices.

Boredom.

Boredom.

Best friend. First, just in concept, marrying a best friend is much more attractive a concept than marrying someone you aren’t with. Second, I am currently dating my best friend. And my ex, while a lovely human being, is not yet at the “capable of long-term faithfulness” stage. Or at least, wasn’t last time we talked.

I suppose Flo, but not many people really know me very well.

A little over a year.
Do you have any embarrassing qualities? Like what?

I enjoy talking.

What is one complaint that you have about school?
Why is it not college yet?
What do you do while you're on campus, but not in class?

Yes. A lot of them.

I don’t really have one.
^ How often do you listen to this band?

Not really.

I’m in high school, folks.

A lot.
^ Is this more or less than you spent online 3 years ago?

If you are in one, is anything wrong with it now?
Parents and geography.
How would you react to being cheated on?
Hmm. I dealt perfectly fine last time, but last time it wasn’t a surprise. I’d be pretty upset, if it were someone I trusted not to cheat on me, and I might be briefly angsty and possibly self-destructive if I really cared about the person, but I’d get over it. I always do.
Would you ever consider cheating on another person?
No.
Is drinking/smoking a dating deal-breaker for you?
Yes.

I drink water. And mango juice. Mmm, mango juice.
Which do you think is the worst: alcohol, nicotine, or marijuana?
Nicotine, but I hate all of them.

Jeans, sweatpants, nice shirts, some pretty Indian clothes.
How much make up is too much?
It’s like obscenity; I know it when I see it.
Is there anyone that you think is ugly?
Not really. Certainly some people are prettier than others, but I can’t think of anyone who I just consider ugly. At least not naturally ugly; visible plastic surgery always gets a grimace from me.
^ Have you ever found yourself to be ugly?
Constantly.

Everyone has something good-looking about them. In fact, comment asking and I’ll tell you exactly what I think is beautiful about you.
