Questions
- Do you believe in ghosts?
- Nope. But does anyone want to try convincing me in the comments?
- What is your favorite book?
- As you probably already know, my favorite book is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Dudes, this is an amazing book. Don’t question it. Just read it.
- What is your favorite film?
- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This is a movie that is equally as amazing as Six of Crows. I cannot wait for The Crimes of Grindelwald. I watched the movie for the first time before I even read Harry Potter, so I was both utterly confused and utterly in love. It’s a beautiful movie.
- Who is your favorite celebrity and why?
- I’m going to answer this question as specifically ‘favorite actor’ because if we throw authors into the mix, this post would be far too long.
- I love Emma Watson because of all the work she does as an activist.
- I love Eddie Redmayne because he’s an amazing actor. And dude, Fantastic Beasts.
- Who is the most powerful person in your life? (Emphasis on power).
- It’s not technically a person, but I’m going to go with my head because it makes me do a bunch of things I’d rather not (namely schoolwork) against my will and blames it on my sense of responsibility. Basically, my head is the parent and I’m the kid being dragged on a leash across the sidewalk while throwing a tantrum, but still being dragged all the same.
- But being dragged is good for you because schoolwork is good for you.
- Favorite song at the moment?
- It’s still Mama by My Chemical Romance. It hasn’t been topped yet. (And I don’t think it ever will.)
- What is your dream job?
- An author/comedian/world-famous lazy person.
- Describe your worst dinner party (use your imagination!).
- I’m wearing a horrible, heavy, itchy, ugly, impractical dress.
- It’s hot.
- People are chewing really, really obnoxiously.
- Spinnette’s not there.
- It’s in a volcano.
- The food is really spicy.
- Everyone is making small talk.
- While making small talk, people are chewing with their mouths open and the food is going everywhere.
- All the people there are people I don’t like.
- Invent a new word and provide a definition.
- Bagoozale (noun): Informal term for strong winds that tend to blow cacti into clouds, resulting in cactus-rain.
- You are a rapper who has reached worldwide fame, what is your rapper name?
- Arachnid, but pronounced Arachnid.
- Tell us the worst or funniest reason that got you in detention or in trouble.
- Story Time! So, first, a fact. Elementary schoolers tend to be stupid in the common sense department. No elementary schoolers are excluded. Apologies to all elementary schoolers, but this cannot be denied.
- So. At our elementary school, in the winter EVERYONE would hunker down and mine ice. We’d form tribes of elementary schoolers, either organized by grade, class, or friend groups, depending on whether people felt like working together. (But, of course, some decided to go lone wolf.)
- When the parking lot and the paved part of the playground were shoveled, the snow plows would leave the piles of snow on the edge of the playground. Hidden in these hard-packed snow piles were chunks of ice. Elementary schoolers of all ages would use other pieces of ice to chip away at the piles to collect more ice and carefully hide this ice for the entirety of recess.
- It was hard work and no one really knew what the point was. It was always “We’ll eventually do something with this ice,” but that something was always postponed until everything melted. It’s like mindlessly doing the same taxing, but useless, thing over and over and over again until everything is destroyed then starting over again in an endless circle forever. Oh, wait. It’s exactly like that.
- The ice-mining elementary schooler tribes would often raid other tribes’ ice-storage facilities (also made of ice), which is why the ice had to be hidden so carefully. Even so, someone always found it, so a day’s work was always reset the next day.
- Throughout all this mess, no one ever realized the futility of it all.
- Anyway, one day in first grade, the teacher whistled on her whistle to signal the end of recess, but my friend and I weren’t done hiding our ice and my friend demanded that I help her so I wouldn’t be the reason that someone steals all our ice (even though this is an inevitable fate).
- So now first-grade me had a difficult choice to make. Teacher or friend? Should I listen to the authority figure or should I succumb to peer pressure?
- I succumbed to peer pressure and helped my friend shove the ice underneath a pine tree.
- We were late.
- I got my first yellow card.
Going off topic now, is peer pressure really always a bad thing? Sure there’s negative peer pressure, which is what everyone tells you to avoid (as you should), but I think peer pressure can be good too. I tried a lot of new things because of peer pressure, like tubing, roller coasters, root beer, etc. that I wouldn’t have otherwise. And while I didn’t really like any of those three examples, I’m glad I tried them so I know what to avoid in the future.
