Yess, I loved Silver Crystal's! Thanks for making this one! Yeah, you can fill it in too, it does look fun :)

1. What is something annoying? I agree with both Hex and Darkvine. Bad kerning (wait that is basically spacing right?) AND my little brother (but only at times, I'll give him that). But also when I have an image in my head and I can't draw it out on paper NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY. And assumptions. Definitely assumptions.

2. Which is worst; jump scare or slow scare? Jumpscare! Especially when you're watching a KID-FRIENDLY movie at the theater and SUDDENLY COMMERCIALS FOR OTHER MOVIES COME ON and it's close to Halloween so they just jumpscare you with all these horrific images no warning!! Ughh

3. What are three smells that make you want to gag? Durian. Perfume (gaggaggaggg). Vinegar?

4. What is the weather like right now? Do you like this kind of weather? It's cold, LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN FALL!! FINALLY!! Thank you, weather! Yeah, I like it! It's the kind of cold where there's a nice breeze but the sun's still out and shining and occasionally warms you to your very bones. :)

5. If you could go anywhere in the world, what would be the first place you went? Rottnest island :)

6. Your favorite quote? SO MANYYY. Ig, discounting all book quotes, "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." -Marilyn Monroe, because it describes me perfectly.

7. In your opinion, are bumblebees supposed to fly? When I think of this question, I think of All The Impossible Things (great book btw). Why aren't they supposed to fly again? Something about weight? Welp, they're flying, so they're flying, and that's that! 

8. What book did you finish reading last? Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing With Fire

9. Are you a cat person, dog person, or both? Both, but much more dogs. Just an animal (bugs are animals too!!) person! Excluding humans. Blech. Even the word makes me want to gag. But you lizards are all still perfectly lovely of course!

10. If you could meet any famous person, or group of people, who would that be? This includes people who have already passed. Ermm.. Anne Shirley?? Or... animals are people too! What about Totoro? I honestly don't know...

11. Is life just a long, long dream? Well, what's a dream? Life. And so if they are one and the same, what's the point? And even so, is it short dreams, punctuated by daydreams, nightdreams, lifedreams, thoughtdreams... and wouldn't short dreams make up one long dream? Tiffany Aching thinks it so much better than I ever can.

12. Would you rather fly, or be able to breath under water? Wouldn't you freeze to death either way? Jk. But there are really many factors one must consider when making this decision. For example, breathing underwater should probably be easier to get the hang of than flying, but can you swim? Take a lesson from Granny Weatherwax. I want to fly like a bird. I want to fly as a bird. Saves you all the hassle. :)

Oh wow, I'm glad that so many people liked my silly little survey and that it inspired you, Hawkstar! This one looks really fun :)

1. What is something annoying? 

Physics!! It's a science that's 90% math and I don't understand it at all :(
