1. Any one except adults and senior citizens, they just make me very nervous for some reason.

2. Well, I'm a lot more talkative and confidant, but other than that, not really.

3. Always.

4. My brother put three of my cats on me, one on my head and one on each shoulder, I guess they liked it cause they stayed that way for almost 5 minutes. They're heavy! Yes, I laugh very easily and often. 

5. I don't cry hardly at all. When I do I can control it.

6. Happy outgoing people, they do most of the talking and don't mind that I'm quieter than most.

I'll finish tomorrow.

1. I tend to socialize with and be able to converse with people of any age, but the majority of my friends are my age (16-19). It feels like the teenage years are flying by! Two of my good friends turned 18 and 19 yesterday. 

2. *shrug* I mean, I rarely come on CB anymore, so there's not alot to my presence here.

3. Depends on the situation, but usually when meeting strangers for the first time.  

4. I laugh easily. Actually, it was a pun I made this morning.

5. I have a strong pain tolerance, so I don't usually cry in "pain" situations. Films and books are a whole other thing...;)

6. Oh, they are sweet, kind, witty, funny, silly, lovely, caring, and adorable! 

7. I'm myself! Somewhat self explanatory...;)

8. Shy around strangers, goofy and talkative around friends.

9. I'm a debater, actress, singer, dancer, and rider. I collect books like there's no tomorrow and I am a stamp collector. I have stamps from all over the world from the late 1800s to present time. 

10. Oh, boy! There are so many ;) 

11. Probably Lune Lovegood. I admire and am similar to her.

12. Hmm, I didn't dream last night. But, on the weekend I dreamed I was stuck in a 4 dimensional world with my friend Zeke.

13. Yes indeed. I can't remember any, though! :(

7. I live on a farm and I'm homeschooled and I can beat most of my guy friends at arm wrestling.

8. I am shy around strangers, with people I find impressive it depends. Once you get to know me I'm not shy any more. 

9. I'm not sure.

10. The ability to talk with anyone.

11. I can relate to Jo March and Huckleberry Finn.

12. I do have nightmares, and I can't remember my last dream.

13. Almost daily. My brother says I have esp.

1. What age group/s do you get along best with? (i. e. little kids, agemates, older teens, adults) Why? 
Little kids mostly, and people around my age. I find it rather hard to make conversation with adults.



2. Are you different online than in person?
Yes. For sure. Irl, I am very quiet, and on here it's just about the opposite.



3. When do you feel awkward? Or do you?
Oh yes I feel awkward. Almost all the time, except when I am with family.



4. What made you laugh most recently? Do you laugh easily?
I laugh fairly easily. When those funny parts in movies occur, you can count on me to be snorting and giggling. I count me and my family as rather funny, and almost everthing that we say is an inside joke or goofy comment. hmmm, what made me laugh most recently? An inside joke about beef jerky. Don't ask.



5. Do you cry easily? Does it take you a long time to stop crying?
I do not cry in public, and when I do cry, it's in the safety of my room, in the dark and alone. I can stop crying fairly easy, because my eyes don't actually get watery and red when I cry for some reason. I just have tears running down my cheeks, and those can get wipped off quickly. I don't cry very easily, per-say. When someone or something I love dies though, you can count on me to be sobbing. Alone of course.



6. Describe some of your favorite people to be around, outside of your immediate family. What makes them that way?
My best friend could easily be my twin in personality, though in appearance we are as different as dirt and a rose. She laughs at what I say, and I laugh at hers. She is a good listener, ready to be a steady rock when things are not going my way. We both talk endlessly about our love of chocolate, and we have the same dreams. Though besides her, there really isn't any one else. Though I am very close with all of my cousins and aunt and uncles.


I'll have to post the rest later.

1. What age group/s do you get along best with? (i. e. little kids, agemates, older teens, adults) Why?

 I think I get along best with my agemates, or slightly older than my age.

2. Are you different online than in person?

Not mostly, unless I'm under alias. 

3. When do you feel awkward? Or do you?

Often when I talk to people I don't know very well, or look up to. 

4. What made you laugh most recently? Do you laugh easily?

Probably my brother. Yes. 

5. Do you cry easily? Does it take you a long time to stop crying?

It depends. 

6. Describe some of your favorite people to be around, outside of your immediate family. What makes them that way?

I love to be around my friend who is a bit younger than I am, because she is very imaginative and fun, but quiet like me. 

7. What makes you unique?

Many, many things. :) 

8. Are you shy around strangers? What about people who you know, but find impressive in some way?

Yes, definitely. (Hence 3.) 

9. What are some interesting or unusual hobbies or habits you have encountered?

I don't know. 

10. What qualities are you most envious of in other people?

The ability to easily make friends. 

11. Who's a character in a book that you really relate to? Who is one that you really admire? 

I don't know. 

12. What was your most recent dream that you remember? Do you ever have nightmares or recurring dreams?

I don't know. Yes. 

13. Do you ever get those weird deja-vu moments? What is one that you can remember?

Yes. I don't usually remember them, though.

Here's the rest of mine:

7. What makes you unique? Ummmm, personality wise? Or appearance wise? Appearance wise, I do not look at all like my family. They have blond-ish curly hair and I'm a brunnete with waves. Personality wise, (also compared with my family) everyone else is very loud and boisterous everywhere. I'm like that at home, but out and about I'm usually the quietest person there. I'm sometimes teased about it, like, "Oh, she speaks!"  



8. Are you shy around strangers? What about people who you know, but find impressive in some way?
Yes, I am very shy around strangers. It takes a while for me to warm up to people. I'm also not really understanding that second sentance....



9. What are some interesting or unusual hobbies or habits you have encountered?
In other people? Hmmm, putting ceyanne ( however you spell it, that really potent spice) in your water. I can't really think of anything else...



10. What qualities are you most envious of in other people?
The ability to make friends like that *Snaps fingers*, and being able to make conversation easily.



11. Who's a character in a book that you really relate to? Who is one that you really admire?
Hrrrmmmm, I'm drawing a blank. Maybe Annette from Treasures of The Snow? And probably Jo March for who I admire.



12. What was your most recent dream that you remember? Do you ever have nightmares or recurring dreams?
Yes, I have nightmares. Yes, I have recurring dreams. The last dream that I had that I could remember, was when I was trying to buy a piano. I was in a giant room with all of these pianos, and they were all different sizes. Teeny and towering, and purple and stripped. I kept finding a really nice one, and was about to buy it, but these two men kept buying it before me. This happened countless times, and I remember feeling very desperate to buy a piano, because, you know, I just had to buy one. Don't you just love dreams?



13. Do you ever get those weird deja-vu moments? What is one that you can remember?
Ah, yes. Deja-vu. It always comes so....unextpectedly. I think that last one that I remember clearly was when I was walking down my sidewalk, and seeing my siblings playing with chalk and toys, and then it just...hit me, you know? That wierd...overwhelming sensation.

1.  What are group/s do you get best along with?

Definitely my agemates mostly, but older teenagers if they are the kind you can actually TALK to, not the kind that's like, "How old are you? Do you have a pet? Aww, that's so sweet!" I hate it when like, 16-year-olds talk to me like I'm 8 or something. There are few adults that I really can have a good conversation with, but the ones I enjoy I enjoy. We have a friend of the whole family that really loves us all, and she really almost feels like family, but yeah.

2. Are you different online that in person?

Most likely. I am varied even in person because different friends bring out different facets of my personality. I am equally nice (I hope) in person or online, but in person brings out opportunities for teasing, inside jokes, and pranking (basically sneaking up on my friends XD), that are not revealed online. And then when I make a joke but it's bad...and...yeah.

3. When do you feel awkward? Or do you?

I feel awkward after something happened where I did or said something that was awkward, and I just kinda beat myself up about it and inwardly cringe. Also when I'm with a friend I don't know very well and there's long repeated periods of awkward silence, and the vibe is awkward. Although whispering, "awkward silence" and smiling to show it's a joke often brings the tension down, and it brings an opportunity to stick in a nice little joke. I am not as social as I sound though, FYI.

What made you laugh most recently? Do you laugh easily?

Um probably the pillow fight at like 12 o clock that I had with some friends on a sleepover, when several inside jokes were created. I don't REALLY laugh easily, but if it's just a little slight laugh, then yes, that comes fairly easily.

I'll finish the rest later.

These are so interesting to read! You really learn a whole lot about people. Great idea, Sho!

1. I get along best with agemates and adults/senior citizens. With people my age, I can relate to them, and adults love me. I'm exactly the child they "want": Perfect perfect perfect. Ha, as if. Older teens and really little kids make me nervous.

2. Online, I'm more articulate and wittier. In real life, I'm a lot more talkative and an extroverted attention-hog.

3. Lots of times. I'm an extrovert with social anxiety, so that's quite a combination. I'm fine with talking to friends and total strangers, but people I admire or "kind of" know, I stutter all over the place.

4. I laugh all the time! Most recently, it was because my friend CK's silly reasons for why their Bitmoji has devil horns.

5. I also cry easily, and I'm not all that self-conscious about it. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. 

6. Some of my best friends include:

Anya, the most brilliant, beautiful human I know. I love her so much. She writes breathtaking poetry and dances like she's flying. We have these amazing, meandering conversations about everything and nothing. We understand each other so well and I know I can always count on her!

CK, who gives the best friendship advice and is super funny! They're that friend with which you can have deep conversations or build a pillow fort or play checkers and it's equally fun. They bake really good cookies and will send you funny pictures of puppies when you're sad.

Emma, one of the most vivid characters I know. We geek out about books, have a million inside jokes, and when we're hanging out, I will never fail to laugh until my ribs hurt! She has such a talent for drawing, is super creative, and is just so easy and fun to be around.

Althie, super sassy and just the coolest person! She will make sarcastic remarks about and tease all her friends, but if you mess with them she'll screw you up. We love to tease Emma about this boy who has a crush on her. ;)

7. What makes me unique is that I'm well, me! There will never be anyone quite the same as I am, and that in itself is special.

8. I'm not shy around strangers. I like to say nice things to random people, like "I love your shoes!" or "Your hair looks amazing!" Regarding people I find impressive in some way, it mostly depends on how well I know them and how I'm feeling that day. I'll either be super Hi!! In Your Face!! Please Notice Me!! or stammer madly and run away.

9. Anya (mentioned in question 6) likes smelling water and feeling earlobes. Emma is scared of butterflies.

10. I admire people who have true confidence, bravery, and the ability to not care about what others think.

11. I relate deeply to Hermione Granger. The reputation of being a "good girl", the fear of rejection, the need to always be perfect, is what I have to deal with all the time. I admire Nina Zenik from Six of Crows. She's self-assured, gorgeous, and dangerous. She's confident in herself and her body, knows she's beautiful, and won't let anyone tell her otherwise. Nina isn't perfect, but she's strong, well-developed, and her feminity isn't seen as a weakness.

12. I had a dream that my friends and I were living on the moon. We built a giant house, somehow could breathe, and flew through the halls like birds. It was amazing. I don't really have recurring dreams, and I tend to have happy ones. :) I also lucid dream a lot, which is really fun! When I was younger, though, I had these terrifying recurring nightmares that I called "screaming dreams". I would hear people screaming and screaming in my head, louder and louder and louder, until I couldn't think or breathe and I'd wake up crying.

13. I get them all the time! I can't think of any specific examples right now, though.

Oooooo....very personal survey.....Im in! 

1. What age group/s do you get along best with? (i. e. little kids, agemates, older teens, adults) Why?

4. What made you laugh most recently? Do you laugh easily?

.....yes. Im really emotional, especailly around that time of the month. Also I can stop easily...most of the time.  

6. Describe some of your favorite people to be around, outside of your immediate family. What makes them that way?

Well, my 'sisters', because theyre awsome, and my awsomely sarcastic friends, and my dance team because theyre also awsome. And wow Im so descriptive i should be a writer! 

7. What makes you unique?

uh.....um.....well unlike most people i think in pictures instead of words. Like if I say COW youll think of the word cow while ill picture a cow. It also affects my memory, so its imposible for me to remember most things for long. Also, im dislexic and may also be ADHD. Yay! *sarcastically rolls eyes* 

8. Are you shy around strangers? What about people who you know, but find impressive in some way?

Uh....yes and no, depends on the stranger. Um, no not really, but I may feal a little awkward around them (AHA another reason!)

11. Who's a character in a book that you really relate to? Who is one that you really admire? 

Um....well....i dont really read that many books.....and theyre mostly kids books like Wings of Fire. (Hey, it can be for adults if adults read it!) In that book i think I relate to Clay.

12. What was your most recent dream that you remember? Do you ever have nightmares or recurring dreams? 

Um....cant remember my most recent dream. Something about....costumes....and my friends....and rings....I think something stole our rings? And yes I do have reacuring dreams, though I only know theyre reacuring in the dream because Ill have daja-vu in the dream. Weird right? Also I get nightmars, but theyre not really that scary, my brain just thinks theyre scary.  

13. Do you ever get those weird deja-vu moments? What is one that you can remember? 

YES. also, no i cant remember, but im pretty sure I dream about it before it happens. *gasps* inspiring moment! I think im gonna write a book about this! (Jk, but still, could be  a good topic)

My friend and I both think in pictures like that- I always thought it was just normal, but he told me that it means I'm a visual spatial learner, which I'd never heard anything about before. Reading through an article, I kept thinking that it described me perfectly- can understand math really well but make countless errors with basic addition and the like? Need to see the big picture? Disorganized? Can figure out problems or how to do things by watching/observing, and only waiting to try it until I feel like I can do it on the first try? Yes! Also, the memory... yeah, I have to write things on my hand to remember them, because even if I wrote them in a planner I'd usually forget to look at my planner! Argh! I don't know if this helps at all, but just know you're not alone :)

Yup, your not alone Claaws! I am very much a visual special learner. Whenever I read anything, I picture it just like y’all. Visual spatial learners, UNITE!

1. What age group/s do you get along best with? (i. e. little kids, agemates, older teens, adults) Why?

My age group, but also older kids and adults. I feel like I'm, I don't know, more mature than others my age. 

2. Are you different online than in person?

I think so. I mean, how old do you people think I am? 

3. When do you feel awkward? Or do you?

When I don't know what's going on, and I say something that's totally off (i.e. how big is the [something]? 50 pieces? and then it's actually like 1,000).

4. What made you laugh most recently? Do you laugh easily?

I don't actually know the answer to either of these. 

5. Do you cry easily? Does it take you a long time to stop crying?

I cry more for anger than for sadness, but I do cry somewhat often. It takes me a long time to stop crying. 

6. Describe some of your favorite people to be around, outside of your immediate family. What makes them that way?

OUTSIDE of my immediate family? Okay. My friend who moved away who I used to tell all my secrets to. My new friends that are really positive all the time. My friend who tells me lots and lots of riddles. 

7. What makes you unique?

A lot of things. 

8. Are you shy around strangers? What about people who you know, but find impressive in some way?

Yes and yes. 

9. What are some interesting or unusual hobbies or habits you have encountered?

Um. 

10. What qualities are you most envious of in other people? 

Um again. As you might be able to tell, I'm not thinking particularly hard.

Hermione Granger 

12. What was your most recent dream that you remember? Do you ever have nightmares or recurring dreams?
