Hi there! Ok, so I never know where to start. But luckily, Becca at Hello Moonies knows how. I was searching for a random facts question tag, and found hers. I thought there were some pretty interesting questions! If you’re stumped for an “about me” post, just search on Pinterest!
- Were you named after anyone? Yes. I think I was named after a family friend who my dad claimed I look like. (Kinda interesting.)
- When was the last time you cried? Almost cried yesterday at work. But I had a last good cry last week.
- Do you like your handwriting? I do, but it’s definitely not as neat as it used to be in high school–when I cared about my handwriting for essays. (In college, we just type everything!)
- What is your favourite lunch meat? I try to stay away from lunch meat, but it’s always going to be ham.
- Do you have kids? LAWD no. I plan to have no children ever in this lifetime.
- If you were another person, would you be friends with you? Yes definitely! I tend to gravitate towards shy people, because I too am a shy person and it’s a lot less pressure (for me) to make friends with introverts. I like to connect with others on a personal level, so I think me, myself, and I would be great pals!
- Do you use sarcasm a lot? No, definitely not. I’m a very literal person, and actually find sarcasm to be a bit anxiety inducing because I have deep-rooted trust issues. (*Thanks to my childhood.*)
- Do you still have your tonsils? I believe so, because I don’t remember ever getting them taken out.
- Would you bungee jump? Nope, not in a million years. I hate heights.
- What is your favourite cereal? Golden Grahams. The most slept on cereal of all time. Everyone goes for Cinnamon Toast Crunch and forgets the good GG!
- Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Not always! But I hate when they’re too tight and my foot get stuck! 😦
- Do you think you are strong? I think so. Psoriatic arthritis is not fun, and it’s debilitating. Anyone with a disability is strong, because basic tasks for those who are able, like walking or lifting things, sometimes seem like mountains for us. Each day is a new day of proven strength.
- What is your favorite ice cream? Will forever and always be strawberry.
- What is the first thing you notice about people? Their eyes. The first thing I notice about people is how they look at things–whether it’s intensely or coyly.
- Red or pink? P I N K . ALL THE WAY. It’s my favorite color!!
- What is the least favourite thing about yourself? I get overwhelmed easily in fast paced situations. I hate being rushed, but sometimes you have to rush in order to get things done, particularly in the work place. I get a bit dissociative and anxious when things are moving too quickly.
- Who do you miss the most? I lost a friend to suicide last year. It was just before Thanksgiving, and it was one of the hardest moments of my life. He was such a light to all. I felt guilty for months.
- What is the spark feature that has helped you the most? Ooh, I wish I knew how to answer this. But I have no clue.
- What colour shoes are you wearing? No shoes, just my Incredibles socks!
- What was the last thing you ate? Cheesesteak + chocolate cake. Very healthy. 🙂
- What are you listening to right now? Nothing right now, but I was listening to “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee just a few minutes ago.
- If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
“Piggy Pink”. I just looked it up. Not sure if it’s a scam. LOL - Favourite smells? Vanilla. Cedar. Apple.
- Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? A boy who I like actually and have liked for a really long time. But we’re too much of good friends, so you know how that goes…
- Mountain hideaway or beach house? Mountain hideaway. I’m actually not a fan of the beach because the sand irritates my skin.
- Favourite sports to watch? Basketball. Golden State Warriors for life.
- Hair colour? Naturally brown.
- Eye colour? Brown.
- Do you wear contacts? I’ve always wanted to, but I’m a chicken. The thought of putting something into my eye sends chills down my spine.
- Favourite food? Mac + Cheese with the cheesiest of cheeses, baby!
- Scary movies or happy endings? HAPPY ENDINGS ONLY. I know it’s not realistic, but please don’t ever have me watch a scary movie. I won’t make it past the opening credits.
- Last movie you watched? “Into the Spider-Verse”, after much pressure from my friends.
- What colour shirt are you wearing? Blue with Toy Story clouds on it.
- Summer or winter? I LOVE WiNTER, which is such a contradiction to my health because I have to be in constant heat for my arthritis. But I just love snow, ya know?
- Hugs or kisses? Hugs. Kisses are gross and bacterial. You can hug everyone. You can’t kiss everyone or else you’ll combust.
- Favourite dessert? Pumpkin cheesecake
- Strength training or cardio? I don’t.
- Computer or television? Computer, because I can watch t.v., too!
- What book are you reading right now? I’m caught in between books right now. I’m trying to restart one: Note to Self by Connor Franta
- What is on your mouse pad? Ooh jeez. Haven’t seen one of those since 2008. And on that mousepad, it was a picture of my mom and I at Disney World.
- Any tattoos? Yikes never. Plus, I don’t think those are healthy for psoriatic skin, but I’ll research.
- Favourite sound? My friends’ laughing
- What is the farthest you’ve been from home? I went to Madrid, Spain for a senior trip in 2015, just before I graduated high school!
- Rolling Stones or Beatles? The Beatles! Are you joking? Freaking love those guys. I love them so much I have mugs, DVDs, and even walked on Abbey Road. I truly wish I grew up in their era!
- Do you have a special talent? I can crack my knuckles loudly thanks to my arthritic hands! (But I can also play guitar!)
- Where were you born? Maryland!
- Where are you living now? Atlanta, GA!
- What colour is your house? Blue + White + Brick??
- What colour is your car? Oof if I had a car, it’d be white!
- Any pets? Nope! But I’ve always secretly wanted a lil Cesar dog.
Well, there it is, kids! Thank you again to Becca at Hello Moonies for this tag. I also tag anyone who’s reading this.
