1. How are you doing today?

I'm doing pretty well. Some kids at my school are really annoying, though. 

 

2. What is your second favorite subject in school?

History (Not the tests, though). 

 

3. Do you believe that aliens exist?

Yes. The universe is infinite, so there is no doubt in my mind that there are other life forms that are probably smarter than us. 

 

4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?

Either Little Penguins (yes, that is there name), or Palaeeudyptes Klekowskii. 

 

5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?

A school photo of me and Wolfy (We're sisters) from about 4 years ago. 

 

6. What is the book nearest to you?

The Enola Holmes Graphic Novel book 1. 

 

7. What was the last movie you watched?

A Man Called Otto. It's nice, but really sad. 

 

8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)

It's a Buck. I don't really care about it, but I like it's realistic form. 

 

9. What is your least favorite color?

None. 

 

10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?

Anywhere from 6:10 to 9:04. 

 

11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months?

I can't choose! 

 

12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas Jefferson). Which president is it?

Non-Exsistent. 

 

13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?

It depends on where. Each animal would be at a great disadvantage in the other's habitat except the croc's, but then the croc would be at a huge advantage. (ex. Croc and Tiger in the south pole; Croc and Polar Bear in the Jungle.) 

 

14. What’s your favorite flower?

Ones that look like animals. 

 

15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?

1804 to the Banyan Tree Forest.

1. How are you doing today?

I haven't been feeling entirely spectacular of late, for reasons that have decided to not exist, but it's nice to not do math for once, and y'all are lovely, so I'm okay, I guess.

2. What is your second favorite subject in school?

What counts as a subject? I have a hundred million electives that change every semester. Let's say they count, and that we're talking about the most recently deceased semester. Violin, probably.

3. Do you believe that aliens exist?

I really don't know, and I don't think it matters much unless they start attacking us, or giving us shapeshifting tech to fight other aliens with, or interacting with us at all. 

4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?

Galapagos penguin :)

5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?

My water-damaged biology textbook on the shelf across from me. I have yet to burn it with fire.

6. What is the book nearest to you?

Technically, it's my very cool sketchbook on which I painted a blue cat. The closest book-book is the Bible.

7. What was the last movie you watched? 

Jurassic Park, courtesy of my parents.

8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)

Well, I'm homeschooled, but I do happen to go to a co-op that recently acquired a mascot in the form of a heron. So that's cool. I voted for the heron, so I'm very happy.  

9. What is your least favorite color?

Fluorescent yellow. 

10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?

Whenever I want? which usually is approximately 8:53. but in the school year, it's usually more like 8 or 7.

11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months?

I never thought about it. Hmm. Well, I like June, because it's half spring and half summer, and it contains my birthday. September is good too. Least favorite is January, probably.

12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas Jefferson). Which president is it?

Bill Clinton, apparently.

13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?

I would ask my brother, and he would answer with great accuracy and sangfroid, but he's out of reach. so i guess the crocodile? or none of them?

14. What’s your favorite flower?

Black calla lilies. 

15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?

America in the '90s, or England in the 1920s.

1. How are you doing today? Relieved that the smoke from the wildfires was slightly better. And um well a little lonely, but that can't be helped.

 

2. What is your second favorite subject in school? Maybe literature or history. Or Spanish. I'm not  that keen on any of my subjects in school right now - I'm so ready for summer!!

 

3. Do you believe that aliens exist? Probably they do. since the universe is so huge, and they may be asking themselves
the exact same question - to them, we're aliens, and we exist, so yes
aliens exist :)

 

4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)? Emperor penguin! Especially their teeny gray fuzzy adorable chicks. *melts from cuteness*

 

5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at? The huge, golden wood bookshelf to the right of the desk. It's full of boring books, sadly.

 

6. What is the book nearest to you? The Collins Pocket Reference Thesaurus in A-Z Form. I love thesauruses :)

 

7. What was the last movie you watched? Arranged. If you haven't watched it, do :)

 

8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?) I'm homeschooled, but if I were going to school, I'd like it to have a horse for a mascot. Or a peacock or some other really colorful bird.

 

9. What is your least favorite color? I think navy blue is awfully boring, so I don't like it much. I really dislike the colors used in camouflage suits, too, and mud brown.

 

10. What time do you usually wake up in the morning? About 8:30

 

11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months? May is one of my favorites, and I also love September - if it's
the right kind of September, with slightly chilly days and intense
golden sunlight and azure skies and crickets chirping in the underbrush
:) I used to thoroughly dislike March, but now my least favorite might
be December, because it's so dreary - or August, because nature-wise
it's kind of boring and there are so many insects.

 

12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their
age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas
Jefferson). Which president is it? Well look at that, it's Millard Filmore. I had no idea he had even existed. 

 

13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win? Probably the crocodile. It can't get bitten or scratched because of its plates, but it can bite the tiger and the polar bear.

 

14. What’s your favorite flower? I have so many I can't choose just one! But I love New England
asters, magnolias, bougainvillea, jacaranda, cherry blossoms... Oh, and
these jasmine-like flowers that grow in my backyard. They're white and
they each have four slightly twisted, waxy-looking petals, so they're
shaped like small + signs, and they smell faintly lemony. They're
unspeakably gorgeous, somehow, even though they're so simple. It's like
someone carved them.

 

15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where? The time when the Moors ruled Spain. There was such
amazing architecture and music :) And I'd also definitely revisit some
of the best periods of my life so far... sometimes I get so nostalgic
for them and I just wanna go back there and stay forever :(

This was a super fun survey! Thanks for making it, Silver!

1. How are you doing today?

Eh. Fine.

 

2. What is your second favorite subject in school?

Hmm. Science. Math is first.

 

3. Do you believe that aliens exist?

Yes totally. Somewhere out there, there's aliens, and maybe someday we'll meet them, if we haven't gone extinct from what we've done to our planet.

 

4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?

I love little blues.

 

5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?

A chair.

 

6. What is the book nearest to you?

It's called Earth Abides. It's assigned reading, and it's a dumb book, and I don't want to read it.

 

7. What was the last movie you watched?

Quantumania.

 

8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)

It's a lion. It's fine.

 

9. What is your least favorite color?

Purple.

 

10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?

6:20

 

11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months?

June is both my favorite and my least favorite. It's pride month, so it's great, but it also makes me sad 'cause I watch all my friends having fun and wearing all sorts of crazy rainbow things, but if I came home from school with so much as a rainbow sticker my parents would start up the stream of mild but steady homophobia again, which I just got them to stop.

 

12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their
age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas
Jefferson). Which president is it?

James Buchanan Jr.

 

13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?

None of them. They'd be too busy trying to survive to get into useless fights.

 

14. What’s your favorite flower?

I like the torch lily. Lupines are also cool.

 

15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?

I'd rather go into the future, although I dunno when and where. Like Scuttles said, the past isn't always a great place for queer people.

1. How are you doing today? 

Pretty good. I got some stickers in the mail that I had ordered, so I'm very happy about that! 

 

2. What is your second favorite subject in school?

I'm homeschooled, so I don't have the typical subjects. I guess I would say Language Arts. Art is my first favorite.  

 

3. Do you believe that aliens exist?

Yes, absolutely! The universe is way too big for us to be the only life-forms out there.  

 

4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?

Honestly, all penguins are adorable, but I would have to say Emperor penguins. 

 

5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?

A cabinet of drawers. Possibly the most boring thing to point at in my room.  

 

6. What is the book nearest to you?

Warriors: The New Prophecy, Moonrise.  

 

7. What was the last movie you watched?

The LEGO Batman Movie. Enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.  

 

8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)

Again, since I'm homeschooled I don't have one. But it would be adorable if it was one of our cats! 

 

9. What is your least favorite color? 

I can't decide between that puke color or hot pink.  

 

10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?

I sleep in way too long, so I get up very late. For now, I'm not gonna say. :)  

 

11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months?

My favorite is October because I absolutely love autumn and Halloween. My least favorite is definitely July.  

 

12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas Jefferson). Which president is it?

Millard Fillmore, I believe.  

 

13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?

Probably a polar bear. Although a tiger would probably get away.  

 

14. What’s your favorite flower?

Hibiscuses are my favorite, I think. 

 

15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?

I wouldn't. If I had to however, I would probably go back to when I was younger, just for the nostalgia.

ok so here's the thing, I think that it's quite impossible for some sort of life to not exist, even if it's just like a single-celled organism. that being said I doubt there's, like, a civilized society of aliens that functions very similar to ours, and if there is a society of aliens, it's likely vastly different to ours in ways we can't even comprehend.

eh... chinstrap?

5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. what are you pointing at?

a painting of a sailboat

13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?

I'm doing alright today! I'm a little nervous, as I'm leaving for a sleep-away camp tomorrow and don't know anyone, but besides that, I'm well.

Egg shell.
