Surveys are fun!

1) Favorite ice cream flavor(s)? 

Ooh, um, mint chocolate chip, anything with caramel or fudge, and I also just love plain chocolate and vanilla. :)

2) What are your go-to daydreams?

Heh. Mainly unimaginative ones--daydreams about my real-life crush and my fictional crushes. 

3) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

That's a very hard question. I might make my face more symmetrical, or make myself just a bit taller or more proportionate, or maybe if I was going to change my abilites I might make myself more outgoing and inspirational or make it easier for myself to write things. 

4) What's the last meal you ate?

Breakfast! I had cereal. XD 

5) Opinions on La Croix?

Honest opinion: What's that? 

6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence.

"Being depressed about my writing and trying to get myself to write something because I've fallen out of practice". Boom. 

7) Favorite TV show(s)? 

I don't watch TV shows much. Mostly what I've watched is just Star Trek and Mythbusters, but they're both good. 

8) What song is stuck in your head right now?

I actually (thankfully) don't have one completely stuck in my head, but maybe Señorita (by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello) because it's kind of just a normal love song (and a little inappropriate as usual) but I just heard it a few days ago and their voices are amazing together. Aaah. They harmonize so well together, those two--they just sound like honey and they're beautiful.

9) Celebrity crushes?

Go ask Leeli. XD Well, right now it would have to be Chris Hemsworth. (IN A HOODIE) And also Chris Evans, I guess--and also Orlando Bloom? But keep in mind, I have crushes on these guys' fictional personas. THOR. 

10) What are three things you're looking forward to? 

A) My hip hop class tonight, B) going this morning to meet some homeschoolers at a playground to hang out, and C) watching more Marvel movies!

1) Favorite ice cream flavor(s)? Vanilla! What? I also like Mackinac Island Fudge (I spelled that wrong didn't I). Has anyone else tried that flavor?

2) What are your go-to daydreams? Mainly about fandoms, also sometimes I daydream about my (fictional and maybe sometimes real) crushes

3) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? UGH SO MANY THINGS. I wish I was prettier and funnier and better at art and talking to people... yeah you get the idea

4) What's the last meal you ate? If this counts, I just went to a bakery with my dad. We volunteer at the animal shelter in our town, and there's a really cool bakery right near the shelter so we always go there after our volunteering shifts. 

5) Opinions on La Croix? That's that sparkling water thing, right? I've never had it, actually. I want to try it now...

6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence. 

7) Favorite TV show(s)? Star Wars Rebels was the BEST. 

8) What song is stuck in your head right now? Actually I don't have a song stuck in my head, which is weird. I did wake up with Remember Me from Coco stuck in my head, though. I haven't seen Coco in forever, so I'm not entirely sure what inspired that...

9) Celebrity crushes? I mostly get crushes on characters and not the actors behind them, but I do kinda have a crush on Sebastian Stan. 

10) What are three things you're looking forward to? My birthday, getting my green belt in taekwondo (I'm so close!), and my cousins visiting in the fall.

2) What are your go-to daydreams?

man, probably this one where I get a scholarship for an art school, graduate, then like, move to California or something and get a job at a comic company or something and just,, make comics,,  

3) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

id get rid of my social anxiety, cause it’s stopped me from doing a bunch of stuff that I should’ve done in the past,, and social anxiety just sucks in general. 

4) What's the last meal

submitted by S. Clockwork
(July 16, 2019 - 5:29 pm)

It got cut off?? Huh. That’s weird.

4) What’s the last meal you ate?

A plate of nachos?? I think?? My memory is complete garbage. 

5) Opinions on La Croix?

absolutely terrible. Why would I want to drink tv static water? It’s not even flavored well. 

6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence.

I don’t really write that much anymore, so nothing really. 

7) Favorite TV show(s)?

UNHhhh. It’s technically not a ‘TV’ show,,, but. Or The Umbrella Academy, The Great British Baking Show, or Everything Sucks (I’m gonna fight the person at Netflix who decided to cancel it)

Its switching between Suffer For Fashion by Of Montreal and Bright Whites by Kishi Bashi.

1) Favorite ice cream flavor(s)?

Probably anything with mint and cookie dough.

2) What are your go-to daydreams?

Having people actually take me seriously.

3) If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

That changes a lot. Sometimes it's taking off the braces or growing out my hair from a cut I              didn't want...usually it's more substantial...things about my personality...

4) What's the last meal you ate?

That would be a turkey sandwhich for lunch.

5) Opinions on La Croix?

To be honest the last time I had it was probably years ago so I can't remember what my                   opinion was. 

6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence.

Tree-like humanoids encounter humans who bring a deadly disease and main character is           tasked with finding a solution. (That's copy-righted!)

7) Favorite TV show(s)? 

Northern Exposure, Frasier, Cheers, Modern Family, Ancient Aliens....

8) What song is stuck in your head right now?

Nothing right now but earlier today it was Levitate by Twenty One Pilots.

10) What are three things you are looking forward to?

Swimming sometime this week, Marching Band Camp next week (mixture of expectance             and dread), and a wedding on Saturday.

1) Favorite ice cream flavor(s)?

I like strawberry, and I once had grape nut ice cream, which is vanilla with that Grape Nut cereal in it, and that was really good. 



2) What are your go-to daydreams?

I don't know. I always try to imagine something with some sort of crush that I have but I can never really think of anything, so I  often actually just imagine other people that I ship together, which might be kind of creepy XD.



3) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I mean, I guess I'd give myself better self-control. OH! I'd procrastinate less. But I'm hesitant to think about this, even hypothetically, because I feel like if changes don't happen because of my own will and attempts to change them, it'll kinda mess up my personality. 



4) What's the last meal you ate?

Lunch! I had kale, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sausage mixed together. And cucumbers and cherries. It was a pretty nice lunch. 



5) Opinions on La Croix?

I've never had it, but I don't think I'd like it.



6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence.

I write poetry when I feel moved to do so, and sometimes type it up on this one doc!



7) Favorite TV show(s)?

Oof, I don't watch TV at home, but both times I've slept over with a friend I've watched really good shows. Once was Stranger Things, and once was The Office. I also love the Queer Eye guys, and I think I'd love the show if I saw it.



8) What song is stuck in your head right now?

"Michael In the Bathroom" from Be More Chill



9) Celebrity crushes?

Chris Hemsworth, I guess? and maybe Zendaya? I don't know, there are a lot of really nice-looking and awesome people, but some of them are too embarrassing to say, some of them I can't remember, and I don't really consider any of them crushes. I love Lin-Manuel Miranda, though.



10) What are three things you're looking forward to?

Seeing Be More Chill with my camp tomorrow, watching the newest episode of Dressing Funny with Tan France (I know I said I don't watch TV, but it's on YouTube), and performing a spoken word poem I wrote tomorrow at camp! Oh, and practicing juggling, which I sorta learned today.  Which is 4 things, but whatever.

5) My mom always drinks it but I do not like it, I asked to try a can one time and my mom said I could as long as I finished the whole can, I didn't like it, but it didn't have much flavor so I was able to add cherry concentrate to it and then it tasted ok

6) It's not started yet but I have an idea to write a research paper about JFK.

1) Favorite ice cream flavor(s)?

Mint Chip 

2) What are your go-to daydreams?

That is strictly classified (mostly video game scenes and real life scenarios).

3) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

ONE thing? Shoot... Ummmm, probably my lack of motivation about most things. 

4) What's the last meal you ate?

RAMENNNNN 

5) Opinions on La Croix?

Most flavors are okay. 

6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence.

I have, like, five going, so this isn't going to work very well. 

7) Favorite TV show(s)?

Sherlock Holmes, Docter Who, Father Brown, Manifest, etc. 

8) What song is stuck in your head right now?

None, thankfully. 

9) Celebrity crushes?

None. 

10) What are three things you're looking forward to?

Relaxing, my friends coming back from vacation, generally finally getting a chance to be lazy.

1) Favorite ice cream flavor(s)?

Mint chip!

2) What are your go-to daydreams?

I daydream SO MUCH. Hmm. A lot of the time I daydream about my OCs in various scenarios - the OCs switch, there are two that are more or less constants, though. (I loooove them <3 ) I'll fantasize about various possible future lives with myself as an adult, and sometimes imagine things that I'm looking forward to in the near future.

3) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Ooh, this is difficult. I agree with what AJ said - I feel like changing an aspect of my personality without actively going through the steps to fix it would mess me up. If I could, though, it would either be how terrible I am socially, or my procrastination. If I wanted to avoid that, I'd probably fix my face; I don't like my chubby cheeks and flabby chin.

4) What's the last meal you ate?

I just had dinner, a beef stew thing.

5) Opinions on La Croix?

Oh, I hate La Croix. It's the worst brand of flavored seltzer there is. There's not a ton of flavor, but there's just enough that you can taste it, and they all taste terrible. I avoid them at all costs.

6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence.

(this is more of a roleplay, but . . . ) A Tale Of Three Brothers AU.

7) Favorite TV show(s)?

*takes out the list* Sherlock, Doctor Who, Good Omens (yes I have read the book, yes it's amazing), One Day At A Time, The Good Place, Stranger Things. I probably forgot some. I watch a lot of shows.

8) What song is stuck in your head right now?

Nothing right now, thankfully. But there is music playing in the other room, so.

9) Celebrity crushes?

I don't really get crushes on people I don't know, the only exception being David Bowie. However, the aesthetic attraction is strong in Winona Ryder and Kristen Bell.

10) What are three things you're looking forward to?

Getting my work done; seeing my friend come Thursday; going to a museum tomorrow

Leafy, did you know that nobody’s face is symmetrical? And if you look in the front-facing camra  and think your face is off it’s ok! You’re not alone. But trust me, nobody else notices the differences you might notice about your face, you just notice it because you’ve actually never seen your own face before so it may look strange. Everyone is a little bit insecure about their face and that’s alright! Just know that what you see might look strange to you, but not to others who know your face. You’re beautiful, inside and out. All of you are. 

*hops on survey train*

1) Favorite ice cream flavor(s)?

Turkey Hill tripolitan! Look it up, it's amazing and you should all try it. 

2) What are your go-to daydreams?

3) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I would be more outgoing, it would do me so much more good in life, my social everything would be better, I would probably have better friends and be more respected... yeah.

In the wise words of Abi's friend on the FTmFhS thread, "La Croix is just sparkling water that sat two feet away from an apple."  

6) Summarize your current writing project in one sentence.

Child runs away, too many transition sentesnes, rushed character development, bus stations and zero highways.

"Sophie" by Bear's Den and perhaps something by Brittany Spears, but I try not to think about the latter.

Also "too many transition sentences, rushed character development" is the summary of ALL my wirting projects lol

Ha! Yes, I always remember you're quotes because they're always super funny and witty, whereas mine are just weird and nonsensical.

And right though? Like, in that writing project, the MC has this great change of heart that apparently happens in minutes. *facepalm*
