SURVEYYYYYY!

Chatterbox: Inkwell

SURVEYYYYYY!

SURVEYYYYYY!

Just a little quiz you can take. Looks creepy, but I've always wondered what the "average tween/teen's life" would be like.

1. What are you wearing right now?

2. What did you eat today?

3. What excercise have you done today?

4. Who is in the house with you right now?

5. What are they doing?

6. What's your mood right now?

7. What will you do after taking this survey?

8. Where are you right now?

9. Did you read today? If so, what?

10. Did you like this survey? 

 

My answers:

1. What are you wearing right now?

A TFiOS T-shirt and those Soffe shorts, in the navy blue color. I also have a band-aid on my foot. Lovely, huh? Oh, and my hair is damp from my shower, but it's just down. 

2. What did you eat today?

I made pancakes for a brunch-type meal, which were delicious, and I also had some cherries, peppers, and peaches a while ago. 

3. What excercise have you done today?

Yoga, if that counts, and I went for a quick walk outside. 

4. Who is in the house with you right now?

My parents. 

5. What are they doing?

My dad is putting up new curtains in my room (they're white with lace and SO PRETTY), and my mom is sweeping in the dining room. 

6. What's your mood right now?

No specific mood. I'm not mad or sad or anything, but not happy about anything in particular. I'm fine. Bored.

7. What will you do after taking this survey?

Eat dinner and then I'm going out with my friends. 

8. Where are you right now?

In my office, which is another room in my house besides my bedroom that is only for me. It's quite nice. 

9. Did you read today? If so, what?

Yes, I read a few chapters of Of Mice and Men and some online stories. 

10. Did you like this survey? 

Since I made it, I have no opinion.

1. An orange T-shirt (with an alligator wearing headphones and saying "Oh, yeah!" on it) and a pair of green shorts that I swear keep turning an uglier shade as time goes on.

2. Cereal for breakfast and a crepe for lunch.

3. I went out for a run this morning. I'm taking the day off from work today, though, so I'm mostly just hanging around and having fun.

4. My mother, my father, and Red.

5. My father is napping and my mother is making tea.

6. Contented

7. I'll probably write something pointless on my extreme lack of writing continuity in stories.

8. At the computer in the family room

9. I read a mystery called The Mystery of the Missing Grave and two Fairy Tail books. I intend to read my other two mysteries in the series, read my new Pratchett novel, or reread the Pokemon series because I just got two new books in the series and it's cooler to read the whole thing in one go.

10. Sure. It's very quaint.

1. A grey T-shirt that says A&F, black jeans and blue Toms.

2. Waffles for breakfast.

3. None so far.

4. I'm at the library and am surrounded by young boys playing video games.

5. See above.

6. Pretty cheerful actually.

7. Watch a lecture on Medieval history, though I have a few more Cricket posts to reply to.

8. In the library.

9. A few chapters of Triss by Brian Jacques and the scene in Return of the King when Aragorn asks Eowyn what she fears (okay, because you asked, I'm going to recite it: "A cage. To be behind bars until use and old age accept them, and all chance of valor and renown has gone beyond recall or desire.")

10. It's not bad. Lots of surveys on the CB of late.

Cool!

1. What are you wearing right now?

Sporty clothes like I always wear--an awesome t-shirt that I got from running a 5k (the Lodi Library run, on "Saturday, August 2012" :) and black Adidus shorts. An alarm chrono water-resistant watch, a hair-tie, and pink striped socks. Oh, also an underarmour headband. 

2. What did you eat today?

So far I had a lemon-poppy seed muffin for breakfast and a taco for lunch. 

3. What excercise have you done today?

Since I have osgoodschlatter's (basically the tendon under my knee pulls away from the bone--it happens from being overworked and/or because I'm tall, I guess), I have to do these band excercises and I have to stretch and roll my muscles (you know, with a foam roller)? If I don't, it may result in significant knee pain. And even if I DO, my knees may still hurt. Then tonight at 8:00 PM I have select futsal (soccer in a gym).  

4. Who is in the house with you right now?

No one! This is my only time that I can get quiet--probably of the whole summer! My littlest sister, Katherine (7), is at basketball, my mom is going to pick Katherine up, my dad is at work, and my other older little sister, Danielle (Dani--11) is outside playing with the neighbors in their trampoline (they have rigged the sprinkler under the trampoline to soak it and have squirt guns). Why am I not out there? I don't really know. I guess I don't feel like it...?

5. What are they doing?

I suggest you see #4. :)

Uh-oh. I heard a car-door slam. She's coming for me!!!!!!!!!

*Frantically leaves computer in pursuit of crazy 7 year old* 

6. What's your mood right now?

Calm, I guess. Kind of tired, too, because I think my body is still on California time from taking a trip there recently. 

7. What will you do after taking this survey?

Do more of my excercises (see #4). 

8. Where are you right now?

I'm sitting at the dinner tabe surrounded by lots of piles of artsy and technological stuff that my mom is constantly trying to get me to clean up. It seems that every time I clean it up something else appears. Oh well. Right know I think I'm taking up about 5 of the eight spots/seats at the table. Whoops.

9. Did you read today? If so, what?

Yep--lots of things. A couple magazines, a couple Keri Smith books, and The Book Thief, which has to be one of my all-time favorite books. Of which I only have 8762980.

10. Did you like this survey?   

Yes. I think it was interesting.

As a side note... Nora, you have your own office? I mean, my dad has one that we can use, but...

1. A swimsuit. I am currently out of town, and here I practically live in my swimsuit. 

2. Restaurant food, chicken and fries. I don't usually eat that kind of stuff, but I'm on vacation...

3. Skiing. I'm at a lake. Trust me, it may not sound like much, but it takes a lot out of you.

4. Two of my older cousins, my dad, and my brother, grandma, grandpa, brother, and great aunt are outside.

5. A lot of stuff, raining from paddle boarding, to cooking, to talking.

6. Tired, yet elated.

7. Do Frisbee in the water.

8. Near a lake.

9. Of course! I managed to squeeze in some reading time.

10. Yup!

Yeah. :) It's awesome.

My dad has a laptop.

My mom has a laptop.

My older sister has a laptop.

I have a desktop.

My younger sister has NOTHING. MWAHAHAHA! But actually, she doesn't know how to use a computer, so...

You read The Book Thief? I thought I was the only one who knew what it was.

submitted by Danielle P., age 10, California
(July 7, 2014 - 8:01 pm)

OF COURSE!

The first time I read it was in 6th grade. Did you like it as a 10-year-old? I thought the movie was pretty good, also--although it did change a few parts. Yeah, I don't think many 10-year-olds have read it, but I know a few others who have.

I have Oshoodschlatters too.  I've be had it for about three years now, so it doesn't hurt as much anymore. When I first got it it hurt sooooo bad!

1. What are you wearing right now?

A Doctor Who t-shirt that says "Madman with a box" on it and features the TARDIS. Plus shorts. Plus socks. Plus sandals 

2. What did you eat today?

Chickpea salad. 

3. What excercise have you done today?

I walked. And I did yoga. 

4. Who is in the house with you right now?

You have to be assuming I'm in the house? 

5. What are they doing?

What is who doing? The previous question was invalidated for the above reason!!! 

6. What's your mood right now?

Um, neutral. 

7. What will you do after taking this survey?

Go home. 

8. Where are you right now?

Wait, you just assumed I was in the house. Correcting yourself, eh? I'm at the Apple Store worshipping the ghost of Steve Jobs along with the other people there. 

9. Did you read today? If so, what?

I read stuff on the net. I tried to pick up The Wheel of Ice (novel featuring the Second Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe) from the library but some person or persons unknown had misplaced it and so the library clerk put it down as missing. 

10. Did you like this survey? 

Not enough depth. My advice is to make deeper and more demanding questions and get rid of the previously mentioned snag where you assume that everyone on the CB uses the computer at home all the time.
