Plus. friends that live there!
I could live with that, though I wouldn't say that it would be a dream gig. That said, I do like being witty and clever, and coming up with slogans seems like a good way to exercise that muscle.
Depends on the flavor, I suppose.
Make shit up x9001
Depends on what you mean by proper. If we're talking alcoholic then FUCK YEAH that. Soda-wise, I'm a Pepsi dude, although I do enjoy Sprite. (Cherry Pepsi ftmfw)
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no, thank jebus. I'm often told that I don't really have an accent (for an American), or that I sound like I'm from California or something like that. I could probably fake one, I guess?
Having a valentine
This is a really good question, and I'd looooooooooooooove to debate this kind of thing in its own thread. In short, I don't believe that just because you CAN do something, that you SHOULD, but it really depends on where you're going with it. I'm all for transhumanism - even without any kind of physical disability or limitation, I would absolutely go 'aug' (to quote Deus Ex) - but when it comes to certain things like proper AI, it's another story. Cloning is one thing, because it's something that can easily be predicted/controlled/engineered, but when it comes to creating an actual, sentient, intelligent life form, we're going to end up putting ourselves in a very bad position, because all life that thinks for itself is GOING to, regardless of any blocks or limitations you put in or how careful you are to try to prevent such a thing from occurring (see the geth in Mass Effect). Plus, we all know that robots always revolt
I can't say I've ever really had a male role model to speak of - not a living person, at least. That said, I think I've mentioned before somewhere that the two people that shaped my life to a very large extent are Spider-man and Han Solo, because there's always really been something appealing to me about a wise-cracking trickster with a heart of gold.
When I can get them, two soft pillows. But I'm no stranger to sleeping on the floor or couch, so
I suck it up and suffer through it. My mom took a lot of pain meds when I was a kid (migraines), and as a result, she became more and more tolerant to them, to the point that eight tylenol/aspirin/whatever you want to call them barely took the edge off. So I really only take meds when I'm just desperate for relief. As for headaches, I tend to get them when I suddenly stand up, suddenly lie down, or when I get really angry/irritable. Which ofc just makes me more angry/irritable, which makes it worse, which...
Yep, just that. I used to be big on chocolate and baked goods, but kind of lost my taste for that kind of things years ago. I'll still eat them, ofc, but they're just not as good to me as the elusive ice cream. Mmmmm. Snackwise, though, I love a good bit of fruit, SUN CHIPS (oh my god sun chips), or dry cereal.
I don't, no, and I've never tried, other than the one time I tried to smoke the mary jane (which I really disliked). But that said, I don't mind people smoking around me, and would certainly date a smoker (two of my exes are/were).
One was short (three months, I think?), and the other was longer (about 15 months). Somehow, I'm on friendly terms with both of them, but not so much the other one
No, it mostly just gets really bushy and our of control - not so much an agro. I don't think I'd do it even if I could, either - I like my hair on the shortish side.
Honestly, sofa cushions just get in the damn way most of the time - unless you're sleeping on the sofa, in which case party on.
Eh, kinda? I just wear whatever - I get shirts off teefury when I can, and the rest is just picking up whatever I like the look of. I am a jacket whore, though, but I can't remember where I got them from ;.;
Well, the obvious :ernie: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh beyond that, idk. I'm really bad at thinking of things like that for people because I've lived here basically all my life and can't think of interesting things to do with people. I'm a homebody, so I like to hang out and watch movies and play games and stuff like that. I'm not really a 'hey let's go skydiving or run an obstacle course or fight a bear' person. I'm pretty boring, tbh.
I don't really have any sentimental things that I would take with me to hobo about, really. I have items that I keep for sentimental reasons only, but in a situation like the one described, I'd be aiming more for practicality than for anything else (function over form, basically). Simplicity and practicality are two of my numerous middle names
As silly as it sounds, The Empire Strikes Back and Clerks, mostly because they drove home the lesson that I'd already been learning at that time that, to quote the latter, "that's what life is - a series of down endings". I was already super pessimistic, so it struck a chord with me. One of my outlooks on things is that life is filled with lots of bullshit, and bad things happen to good people while bad people go unnoticed all the time, and the only thing you can really do is suck it up, keep going, and do the best you can with what you have while trying to enjoy what time you have in the sun. Similarly, I watched a lot of Chasing Amy and Purple Rain as a teenager, so I quickly learned to accept the fact that love is a tricky business.
I have no idea; probably by doing nothing and/or drowning the thoughts about what I've done with my life in copious amounts of alcohol. I don't really see it going either way. Then again, to me, a birthday is just another day. I stopped expecting to feel special on my birthday ages ago; but then, when you come from a family that does things like intentionally ignore your birthday to make you feel like shit (literally what happened when I turned 21), it's hardly a surprise.
Yeah, all biscuits are cookies, so I have no idea what in the hell a digestive is (though I can deduce its purpose, lol). I would say my top two are sugar cookies and macadamia, preferably made by hand and still warm. Store-bought means the only thing that's acceptable is Oreos, which have to be put in the freezer and eaten with a glass of milk.
idk man pringles are pretty amazing IT'S REALLY HARD
I like cuddling. I prefer my own space when it comes to day-to-day activity; I like doing stuff together, but I can't spend all of my time every day with anyone, regardless of how much I like or love them. It would drive me crazy JUST GIVE ME SOME PEACE AND QUIET GOD
Lying. I don't care how awful the truth is or how much it will hurt my feelings - I would rather have the painful truth than a sugar-coated half-truth or lie. (Lies of omission count!)
What am I, Jet Li?
No. I'm probably shit in a fight. That said, the one thing I have going for me is years of repressed unhappiness and anger, so I feel like I'd just kind of keep getting back up.
I have some insanely rusty Spanish from taking three years of it in high school. I WANTED to take Latin, but my mom said it was "too hard" and wouldn't let me. I'd like to learn Italian, Japanese, Greek, and maaaaybe French.
Nothing
I don't usually eat breakfast. When I do, though, it usually involves eggs. Mmmmmmmmmm eggs.
Honestly? Most of the people I know, I suppose. I feel like Mumble would be fun to have a drink with, and folks like Joe, Yop, Mage, etc are just great banter. On the OTHER hand...if I met Road I could finally learn what his face looks like.................. (unless he pulls a Laughing Man and hacks me...)
Neither. I'm a sit back and see how things develop guy, and then go from there depending on the...idk, atmosphere or whatever? Idk how to explain this. I suppose I just have the mental image of a bunch of swingers, and that's something I would definitely need to ease into.
I dunno? I don't suppose I eat anything particularly strange. I suppose I'm the only person I know that likes eel? The most exotic thing I've ever eaten, though, is swordfish. Coincidentally, it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. But I don't eat things like...idfk, bull testicles or bugs or things like that.
I'm not big on yellows, oranges, and purples. Or stripes of any kind, actually.
Ofc I would. I even know what I'd do if I won. I've already thought that out to a great extent
Philadelphia, I think. It sounds dumb but I've always wanted to visit, ever since I watched Boy Meets World as a kid
Plus, I hear it's always sunny there...
