Feminism. I get really worked up and I feel quite passionate about the subject. When things are unfair, it just really makes me mad, y'know? And inequality between genders is a huge problem that has been around for centuries, and it's time that we deal with it and makes sure men/women and all other genders have a fair shot, and they aren't at a disadvantage for being what they are. Equal pay, equal rights, and all being treated like people.

Where do you think we go after we die?

[izuna_13_13]

I personally don't think we go anywhere after we die. Being raised in a Jewish/atheist household, I've learned different to sides to the matter, but I lean towards the belief that nothing happens. Stark as it sounds, I think once people are put into the ground, they decompose and that's that.

If you were given one million dollars to spend on whatever you wanted, what would you spend it on?

[I H4ve Quit]

[I'm not the type to shop or splurge, so I'd spend it on things I actually need. I'd get my school expenses covered, I'd rent an apartment in the city, purchase whatever equipment I might need for my dream career as a music producer, and whatever's left I'll save in case of emergency.]


Do you have someone you look up to?

[cellohell]

well sort of. I look up to my sister. she's braver than I am and knows how to get things done. but as I got older I realize she's got her faults too, and sometimes they're annoying. but otherwise she's great c:

is there a period of time in your life you wish you could go back to?

[ibara no ame]

No. It is the past and should stay there.
There is too much hate and pain there and I've grown a lot since.
Going back would be a devolution and I don't think I'd survive it a second time around.

What was your favourite movie when you were a kid?

[drmara]

Prolly Disney's Sleeping Beauty. During the climactic battle between Prince Philip and Maleificent in dragon form, I'd swing a toy sword around like him.

Do you have a certain tic or habit?

[doki_do]

I have a habit of hiding my affections for certain guys I like.
Yea, I think most girls and guys do.
But for me, it's starting to get to the point where I might be lonely for the rest of my life if I keep this up. Oh well...

Do you like it when GIRLS make the first move (asking the boy out)?

(v) very well stated. Thank you.

[ibara no ame]

I think people should be confident and brave and go after the things they want and take chances...and that's all that is. People shouldn't choose not to do this because of their gender or fear of it being uncommon, and I think most "girls" are very strong and capable and if you don't let yourself care about what other's may think and put your foot out there and take the step then there's no reason it should even be a question of what someone thinks about it. Attraction goes both ways and women are not objects to be chased and captured. They can hunt too, and should, and should be able to exist in a society where their ability to do so isn't questioned and they can have the power and confidence to.

TL;DR, Yes, and they should be empowered to do so more and encouraged to go after what they want without it being seen as social deviation.



If you could know one thing about the future, be it in general or your life specifically, what would it be?

[hideous monster face]

when will my mother die. I want to know that.

Which country would you most like to see, and why?

[CyanideSpikedTea]

Italy. I've never been, but I have friends who have, and they came back with some amazing stories. Plus, pizza!

What happened on the happiest day of your life?

[Navean]

I met my now boyfriend. We went for a nine hour walk and got to know each other.

If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, which charity(ies) would you give it to?

[Johannes Cabal]

One of my town's local homeless shelters. There's a lot of Vets in the area and unfortunately, they've been stretched thin because of water damage from flooding last year. They also just opened a women's shelter, so they need resources there too. I'd divide a good third percentage there.

The other third of the million, I'd donate for Syrian and Nigerian refugees. They're being displaced by religious strife and many of them have had their family providers murdered. It's heartbreaking, but nothing can be done because they're not considered a top priority in other governments.

The last third, I'd set up a scholarship fund at my college for girls who wanted to go into filmmaking/animation/special effects. Hollywood is an uneven field for women and it needs more women as directors and other heads behind the camera.


What's your second choice career if you couldn't achieve your first?

[ibara no ame]

I'm having a pre-midlife crisis over this right now so I didn't want to answer it yesterday or whenever I saw it BUT, I will I guess since I'm here again and there isn't a new question.
I got educated in my THIRD CHOICE of career, so I'm already a failure there. I was in Conservation Biology but I don't know what happened there, then I was in Geoscience but I can't MATH so that didn't work and I ended up in the embarrassing field I got into, which is Archaeology, but DERP I don't want to be nomadic and travel around and all it took was a summer in the dust and heat at one dig site, digging up adobe walls and pot sherd after pot sherd after pot sherd and then another fiasco in England digging in a muddy rainy soggy smelly sheep pasture with a crappy crew chief and working with a "specialist" who told me I was wrong about what I was digging up. She was in the same field as me which is human bones and she was looking at this skull we were uncovering and saying he was buried facing one way when, if you knew anything about skull anatomy at all, he was facing the other way very obviously and because TEAMWORK? I corrected her and I was wrong until we dug his sodding face out and she was like OH, U WERE RIGHT LOL. HO. God. Anyway, archaeologists are bloody rude and dumb and I can't stand working with them and I like to have a daily shower and I don't camp well, so I have no idea what the hell I was doing. So that's my 3rd career choice and I suppose I'm thinking of what I should do with myself and there isn't a 4th. I've always been somewhat randomly and accidentally really good at Japanese, so much so that I had a professor tell me I'd be stupid not to pursue it (didn't listen to you, sorry sensei!) so I may look at brushing up on that and becoming a translator...though just about any weeabo anime-nerd in the world does that so I'm reluctant to be put into a category with them. Which probably sounds offensive but you all know you judge without getting to know someone first! Or, I'll go teach anthropology in community college and have a few other random jobs and teach the next generation of poor, jobless morons who thought they were in class to become the next Indiana Jones and find Atlantis. *bows* I still wish I were a REAL scientist though, but the stats for my Masters dissertation ended up rubbish so that's still not an option. SOBSOB. emo


Alright, now that I TL;DR'ed you to death, so what was your most special/memorable birthday like?

[` ll [ E d w a r d ]]

Keke, well this one is probably a bit too easy, since I only think one of my celebrations counts as an actual 'party'
But yeah for my 18th birthday, my friends threw my a surprise tea party;
It was actually really touching that they had gone through all that trouble for me, (they did actually surprise me! )
&& was probably the first time I realised just how much I had grown to trust my friends/how much of a pudding I am,
Seeing as they somehow managed to get me to bake the pastries for my own party, and I didn't even question it.
Plus bonus points for the impromptu Mario Kart/DDR mini tournaments.


TNP; is there a quality/personality trait that you don't have that you wish you did? Why?

[Elskeleton]

MAnnnn this question just gets at me. Can't even figure myself out, I'm an eternal identity disturbance.

I wish I were braver though! Just where would I be in the world if I were! ~Possibilities~.

TNP I'd like for you to describe your best (or closest) friend.
