Good, ish; it's the first day that would be a school day if it weren't summer break.

2. What is your second favorite subject in school?
Math (#1: writing)

3. Do you believe that aliens exist?
I don't want them to exist, but they very probably do. 

4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?
Um. Whichever type of penguin forms a circle of penguins to keep warm, maybe.

5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?
A painting of flowers that I created when I was five.

6. What is the book nearest to you?
All my notebooks are clustered around me right now because I'm at my desk, but the closest published book is probably a book of music.

7. What was the last movie you watched?
Bedknobs and Broomsticks.    

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 think the school mascot is a heron or something like that, which is nice because our school is near a wetland. I wouldn't change it. 

9. What is your least favorite color?
Yellow. 

10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?
I wake up between 6:45 and 7:15, and get out of bed between 6:55 and 7:25. 

11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months?
Favorite: January, maybe?, and least favorite, August, because by August 1st we are already in school, but it is unbearably hot and other people are not in school.

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?
Whoever becomes the 52nd president of the US

13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?
I am inclined to say a tiger, perhaps because I like cats. 

14. What’s your favorite flower?
Roses (the purple kind) and the thistles that grow on the side of the road. 

15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?
Um…a very long time ago, in western India, there was a civilization called the Indus Valley, and I wrote a report on it and found it fascinating, so maybe I'd like to go there (among other things, they seem to have not had wars for an extremely long time) 

Cool idea, Silver Crystal!

1.) I'm doing pretty good, thanks for asking! Just trying to get the most out of my summer break 🙂

2.) Probably math or science. 

3.) I would love to believe that they exist, but my pessimistic mindset says we are alone in the universe. Maybe there is some evolved form of bacteria or plants in another planet though, who knows? We can hope!

4.) Magellanic penguins! They're so cute!

5.) Clorox wipes.

6.) The Inheritence Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. You guys should read it, it's a great book/series!

7.) Searching, (the 2018 film). It's rated PG-13 for reference.

8.) My school mascot is a knight and I'm personally indifferent to it. It's pretty basic, but who's complaining? simple >>>>

9.) neon/hot pink. it just narrowly beats out neon yellow.

10.) during school, around 6:30-6:35. during the summer, around 6:25, and if I don't have swim in the mornings, 7:15-7:30ish.

11.) June is my favorite month, and March is my least favorite.

12.) Bill Clinton, 42.

13.) the polar bear, but it depends where it's at.

14.) a daisy or a sunflower

15.) I would love to go back to the Victorian era and act cultured for once >:) 

1. How are you doing today? 

Okay—school's gearing up to end next week. Today, I rode a goldfish down a hill and abducted a dinosaur (not at the same time). 

2. What is your second favorite subject in school?

Ummmm probably science or DE (design engineering; basically just time to build things but we also have to do nasty PrOdOtYpInG InNoVaTiNg ReFlEcTiNg stuff ick)  

3. Do you believe that aliens exist?

Probably—but not in the form of random green mars men. 

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

ROCKHOPPER PENGUINS. LOOK THEM UP—I WOULD DIE FOR THOSE EYEBROWS. 

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

Well, if we're being technical, air and the molecules that make it up—but if we're not, then a cabinet.

6. What is the book nearest to you?

The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. Don't read it—it makes no sense, and not in a good way.

7. What was the last movie you watched?

The Matrix. I will rant about the ending if anyone's interested.

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?)

We're the MaVeRiCkS lol. Horrible mascot—but better than something generic like the gators or tigers.

9. What is your least favorite color?

Puke colors like puke green, puke yellow, or puke brown, then neon colors but especially pink, green, and yellow, then different muted ooblecky shades of colors, then—I'll stop now.

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

I get up at around 7:00 but it takes me a while after that to wake up, unfortunately.

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

The best month is obviously February—cold enough to be nice but no school winter breaks which are always really boring. 

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?

Umm—probably my dad, so THERE HASN'T BEEN THAT MANY PRESIDENTS YET OOPS

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

Me. 

14. What’s your favorite flower?

Plumerias. 

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

Assuming basic safety measures are built into this time travel device, and I won't set off the butterfly affect too badly, and all the other basic concerns are taken care of, probably ancient Egypt—or the start of time. 

1. How are you doing today?

Fine. Although it's 7:40 in the morning, which is far too early to be at school.

2. What is your second favorite subject in school?

Math.

3. Do you believe that aliens exist?

Absolutely. We just might not run into any for a good long time.

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

Little blues. 😀

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

A classmate of mine, who happens to be one of the biggest bullies in my year and is also in my homeroom.

6. What is the book nearest to you?

Romeo & Juliet, by William Shakespeare (Folger Shakespeare Library Updated Edition).

7. What was the last movie you watched?

Avengers Endgame.

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 "rev," which I think is short for "revolution" or "revolutionaries" but nobody is sure. It's a terrible mascot. 

9. What is your least favorite color?

Pink. Although some shades of it are okay.

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

5:55, although my preferred wakeup time is 10:00.

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

Favorites are June and July (summer!), least favorite is November.

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?

It really depends on where the fight takes place.

14. What’s your favorite flower?

I'm partial to the corpse flower.

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

I wouldn't. I'm trans, I'm gay, and I was assigned female at birth. In pretty much any past time period, that's just about the best combination if you want to have absolutely no civil rights. Also they had pretty terrible hygene and medical care. But I think it would be fun to go faaaaarrr into the future and see where we are at then.

Fluffles says <kywrd>. Keyword!

1. Thirsty.
2. Math, because we play wii fit in math class
3. Yes
4. All of them

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.

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.
