Do you know anyone who has died in battle? No.

What is your hobby/collection? Haha, I have so many. I collect coloring books and love to color. I love to write, so I have kept a journal since I was about twelve or thirteen and I love to write short stories. I collect action figures if they're from X-Men (specifically Nightcrawler) or A Nightmare On Elm Street. I have a bazillion Squishmallows because I collect them. I love collecting food themed Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. I love doing makeup and have quite a big collection of eyeshadow palettes. I love anything Kirby and I love playing video games. There's just so many things I'm into! And this is just the tip of the iceberg, but these are my most favorite collections and hobbies.

Have you ever accepted a helping hand from a stranger? I think the last time I asked for help was when I was shopping at Walmart and my husband went into the dressing room or the bathroom, and I asked for something off of the top shelf from some guy in the aisle that was tall. That was so long ago because I haven't been to Walmart in forever. Who is your favorite person in your immediate family? If I absolutely had to choose, I'd say my older brother.

What kind of pizza toppings do you like? I usually just like cheese, but if I want toppings, I go for pineapple and banana pepper. Don't knock it 'til you try it! It's perfectly, sour, salty, tangy, and sweet. Who was the last person to make you do physical labor? The kids at the school I work at. I'm always cleaning up behind them.

What is your favorite piece of furniture in your living room? Our couch. It's so big and comfortable and three of the seats recline, and there's cup holders!

When was the last time you traveled by plane? Haha, not since I was like nine years old, I think. Where is your favorite place on Earth, thus far? I don't think I've been there yet. But if I absolutely had to choose, I would have to say New York City. I love to visit (most of my family live there or near there) but I couldn't live there. Why is marijuana illegal in the U.S.? *sarcastically alarmed* Because what would pharmaceutical companies do?! No, but really. I have no clue. I mean, I have a few ideas and I've even read some shit, but I won't say it here. Who did you last share a bed/bedroom with? My husband. When did you first take a shot of alcohol? Like a shot of something hard? Because I had beer for the first time when I was like ten, haha. I snuck a sip of my dad's and it was so disgusting to me, I never did it again. But then, I turned sixteen and had a shot of vodka for the first time. Where did you sleep last night? My bed in my apartment. Why are you wearing whatever it is that you are? Because I love my Halloween pajamas. They're so comfortable. Who last took you out on a date? My husband. When was the last time you went on an adventure? Please, explain it. Last Friday, we randomly took a trip to Myrtle Beach and we just ate, and walked around a part we've never been to, and then ate some dessert at this really cool place. Then we headed back home. Where would you like to experience the best cuisine? Italy. I love Italian food. Why do your parents keep pictures of you around the house? They don't. All our family photos are tucked away in boxes. Who can you always count on? My husband. What is your favorite way to eat an egg? Scrambled. Why is it difficult for some people to whistle? I'm not sure. I learned how to whistle pretty quickly. Who is your Godmother (if you have one)? I don't think I have one. When did/will you graduate high school? 2007. Where were you during the 911 attacks? I was home, waiting for my mom to finish ironing my school uniform. I remember sitting in my room, waiting for my mom to bring in my uniform, and I heard her yell "oh my God, oh my God." She's from there, so is her side of my family, and I just remember her urgency to get the phone and call my Grandma to see if everyone was okay at the moment. Who was the last person you had sex with? My husband. What are your ticklish spots? I'm not ticklish. I hate being tickled. It doesn't make me laugh, and it just makes me feel awkward and sick. When you have an orgasm, is it real or not? It's real, but I won't lie and say I've never faked it in the past. Where is the craziest place you’ve had sex with a person? Oh jeez, I don't know if I wanna go there. But, just because I'm super honest on these, and it's not THAT crazy, I would say in a moving truck, on the side of the road, haha. Who do you wish was still in your life? What do you miss about that person? When will you see that person again? There are a lot of people that I wish were still in my life, both living and dead. They were great people. Where would you like to have sex with someone? In our bed. Describe your best sexual experience. Oh man. Probably one of the first nights my husband spent the night with me, back when we had just become boyfriend/girlfriend. We had so much sex, and it was just really raw, and hot, and at some parts it was just beautiful. And how attentive he was to me; it wasn't something I was used to. He made sure I finished, multiple times, before he even got there himself. I'll never forget that night. Describe your best drunken/high experience. Hmm. I can't seem to remember. Perhaps it was because I was drunk and/or high, haha.

14.

1. Do you think it’s cute when you’re going down the road and see a dog with its head hanging out the window? Yes, of course. I will always be excited to see a dog riding in a car, because it's adorable. But also, because I know how excited my dog gets when we take her for a ride.

2. Do you know what a capo is? I didn't, but I looked it up, and now I do. To save those reading the time, here's the definition: a device that is attached to the frets of a string instrument to raise the pitch of each string.

3. When was the last time you wrote down a schedule? I haven't had to do this for a very long time. My schedule for work is always the same, and since I'm a routine kind of person, my at home schedule is just burned into my brain anyway. I do have to write down To Do Lists though.

4. What does your favorite hair tie/accessory look like? I love my black velvet scrunchies. They make me feel a little luxurious for some reason.

5. When was the last time you used a touch screen monitor? At work on Wednesday - the laptops we use to do lesson plans for the kids are touch screen.

6. Do you have a favorite kind of milk? 2%, whole, etc? I've used almond or soy milk for almost the entirety of my life at this point. I cannot stand the smell of cow's milk. I'll eat things made of cow's milk, like cheese or ice cream, but I will practically gag at a glass of plain cow's milk.

7. Have you ever tried Parmalat milk? Nah, I've seen it in stores though.

8. Are there any buttons on your keyboard that you don’t know what they’re for/never used? Haha, yeah. The laptop I'm using is still relatively new to me, even though I bought it back in June. It's a gaming laptop, and I've never owned one before.

9. Have you ever had to take prenatal vitamins? I didn't HAVE to, but I wanted to take them to see if they would help my hair grow. They did, but I stopped because I really believe they were making my periods incredibly heavy. A month or two after I stopped taking them, my periods became normal again (well, what I'm used to anyway).

10. Do you have anything unusual tacked onto your walls? Haha, yes. Our gallery wall is all art that both my husband and I painted, as well as some features from our moms. The art is weird and not traditional at all. I also have a giant neon colored bat sign from Target's Halloween collection this year, and I won't be taking it down just because Halloween is over. Like, I love it so much, I would actually get a version of it tattooed on me because I love the colors and I love bats.

11. Do you have a favorite drummer? My husband! But besides him, definitely Aron Mellergård and Branden Steineckert.

12. Do you like to earn your own money or do you prefer that your parents/family buy you things? I do like to earn my own money, but I won't lie and say being spoiled by my husband sometimes isn't fun for me, haha.

13. Have you ever heard of the man with rubber skin? No, that sounds kind of scary.

14. Does anyone in your family play in a band? What band? No, not anymore. My husband was the frontman for a local metal/prog-rock band a long while ago.

15. Why do you think a lot of girls claim to hate the color pink? Literally every woman I know loves pink, except me. I don't hate it, but with the exception of the Kirby merchandise I own, I don't have many pink things because it's just not a color I gravitate towards.

16. Are there any symbols that have personal meaning to you? i.e: dice, a necklace, etc. What are they? The first gift my husband ever gave me. It was this cheap, little red gem shaped like a heart, on a chain that's tarnished now. He gave it to me on our first real date (we knew each other a while before as we were friends first) since it was Valentine's Day and he didn't want to show up empty handed (not that I would've cared). I still have it in my jewelry box after all this time and I'll never get rid of it.

17. What’s the biggest spider you’ve come across? Omg. I don't know what kind of spider it was, but it was the hugest spider I've ever seen in my life. I'm pretty sure it was a wolf spider now, because I googled if those spiders live in the state I live, and they do. I remember the night I saw it in full. I say "full" because we had this small, medium-ish sized hole in the wall of our laundry room, and sometimes I would see legs sticking out of it, and this had to be that spider. I was like fifteen or sixteen, and I used to roleplay online (the dorky kind), and I just happened to look up and it was in the corner of the dining room (where our family computer was). I literally stayed up all night, just to watch it and make sure it wasn't going to end up in my bedroom. Like every time I posted a paragraph, I'd look to make sure it was still there. I waited until my dad's alarm went off at 5am, and when he came out his room, I said, "DAD. There's a huge spider, please, please get rid of it." And like it was nothing at all, my dad got the broom, put it up to the spider and somehow got the spider on the broom, and then he threw it outside over the balcony (we were in an upstairs apartment). I swear the thing was the size of my hand.

18. Have you ever been bitten by anything poisonous? No, thank goodness... *knocks on wood*

19. What brand is your remote? RCA - etc. I think it's just a generic one modeled after the one that goes to our LG tv. The other is the Fire TV stick remote.

20. Do you know anyone who has been knighted? No.

21. Have you ever heard of the band Goatwhore? Haha, no, but now I have to check it out because with a name like that, it's gotta be metal. -forty seconds later- Yep, I was right. I gotta show my husband this band after he's done getting dressed, I'm sure he'll like 'em. Update: He knew about them already, because of course he did.

22. Have you ever met someone who thinks they are a rockstar because they can play Guitar Hero? Haha! Yes. I had a friend Alex a long time ago, and when we would all get together and play it, he would take it so seriously. I remember my old best friend James played that one Dragonforce song basically perfect, and Alex got so pissed that James did better than him because he had been practicing it so long - way longer than James had.

23. Which Mario game would you say is your favorite? That is, if you even like Mario? Definitely Mario Kart. But as far as the screen scroller Marios, I would say Super Mario World for Super Nintendo. The game is just so pleasing to the eye to look at, plus you get Yoshi!

23. Do you have one of those creepy family members that no one really talks to? Nah, not really. If anything, that's probably me because I'm pretty anti-social at big family gatherings.

24. Do you have a DeviantART account? No.

25. How many quarters would you say you had on you right now? None, I don't own any change.

26. Have you ever seen any Bruce Lee movies? Yes! Haha, I remember watching some of Fist of Fury at a fucking Halloween party one year when I was younger. I thought it was so strange that that's the movie that was on the television, and not a horror film.

27. Ever started watching a movie, then forget why you watched it in the first place? I honestly will watch movies based on the summary, but I will also stop watching the movie if I think it's terrible. Like recently, I watched this movie on Netflix called Tarot...and I only had 30 minutes to go, but I had to shut it off because it was so bad and I was losing interest.

28. When was the last time you used a hot glue gun? I've never used a hot glue gun.

29. Do you have a junk drawer? Of course, doesn't everybody?

30. Have you ever gotten wasted off cough/cold medicine? No.

31. Did you know that if your baby’s gums are hurting you can rub whiskey into them to numb them? I've heard that before, but I don't think I would every recommend giving a baby alcohol.

32. What’s your opinion on thoroughbred racing? The thought of all that the horses probably go through just to be "the best" really breaks my heart. And the fact that if they're no longer able to race, or they break something, that they're more than likely going to get put down is even sadder.

33. Ever watched Jerry Springer just to remind yourself that your life isn’t as messed up as theirs? Hahaha, jeez, not for that reason. I used to think it was just entertaining to see, and question how people could act like that in front of millions of viewers and a live audience.

34. Have you ever had acne? If not, you’re so lucky. Had? Listen, I'm a 36-year-old woman and I still get acne if I eat too much sugar or it's the week before my period. They didn't tell us anything about that in sex ed. I figured when my acne cleared up as a teenager, that was it. Nope, I got surprised when I turned 27 and got adult acne and although my face is usually clear, too much junk food and my hormones will definitely humble me month to month.

35. Have you ever been spelunking? No, and as cool as it sounds, I'll probably never do it.

36. Ever walked into a facility of the opposite gender - like restrooms? Yeah, I've used the men's room several times at concerts or even busy restaurants. Sometimes you just can't wait, and I'll be damned if I'm going to wet myself because of the body parts I have.

37. Ever lost your car in the parking lot? If so, did you use your car alarm to find it again? I don't have my own car, but I'm sure my husband has done something to this effect after leaving a concert or something while I was with him.

38. If you’ve ever ridden a roller coaster, which one was your favorite? I have before, I can't remember the name of it. It was at Carowinds though.

39. Has there ever been a Christmas where you had to do without gifts-wise? I don't think so. My parents always made it work, even though that's not the kind of kids my brother and I were. We didn't care about Xmas too much, because we honestly got things throughout the year based on our behavior and our grades. But one that sticks out is the Xmas of 2006. We had recently moved into my parents' current house after they bought it, so money was really tight. It was just me living there with my parents at the time, and my dad bought me two CDs after asking around what someone who likes my kind of music would like in the music section of Walmart. I nearly cried, because it was really just the thought that was so sweet - and he actually did a great job because it was Incubus' Light Grenades and Hawthorne Height's If Only You Were Lonely. Both bands I liked, and I remember opening them and my dad seemed sad that that's all he got for me, but I was so appreciative.

40. Do you type with capital letters and proper punctuation? I try.

41. What’s so cool about Sweden? It produced Dirty Loops, so I mean, it's gotta be a cool place.

42. What’s your favorite piece of your silverware and why? I don't really have one? What an odd question.

43. If you’ve ever had a crush, what is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you around him/her? Haha, I don't embarrass easily around my husband anymore, but in the beginning of our relationship when we started getting intimate, one time in the middle of it, I farted. That honestly wasn't even that embarrassing to me but trying to hold in my laugh was. And he didn't even say anything and just kept going, which made me want to laugh even more. So not long after, he finished, and I just busted out laughing because if I'm anything, I'm very immature about farts. We look back on it and laugh now, but man, he thought I was laughing at him.

44. Have you ever pet a tarantula? Actually, I have. I didn't have a phobia of spiders until I was in the eighth grade (so like 12, 13) when I was walking home from the bus stop with my dad, and I walked right into a banana spider's web. I mean, I had spider-on-face contact...and from that moment on, I was and continue to be scared of all spiders (except for the cute little jumping ones we sometimes get).

45. Have you ever been to the Olympic Games? No.

46. Have you conquered any fears recently? No.

47. If you’re in school, and have a bookbag, what does it look like? I’m not in school, but I use a bookbag for work. It's a Loungefly X-men (in chibi style) patterned one, with a light blue background. The kids at my work get a kick out of it, and I love X-men. I've been using this since I received it as a gift from my MIL for Xmas years ago.

48. Have you ever shopped for clothes at a thrift store? If not, why is that? I used to mostly buy my clothes at thrift stores as a teenager. We had a Goodwill basically across the street from our high school, and my friends and I almost always went there, and then to Subway for a $5, after school. From what I hear, now Goodwill prices are basically like new clothes prices. Now, my closet is full and sometimes I'll just shop secondhand online like from Poshmark or Mercari if there's something specific that I need, that I can't find in the stores.

49. Let’s say you win a trip to Australia (if you already live there, then you’ll go to Russia.), at any city of your choice. What would you like to see first and why? Probably Sydney, because it's the first one that popped into my head, and because they have the Sydney Opera House and I've always wanted to see that in person. The architecture on the outside is crazy, I can only imagine how it looks inside.

50. Have you ever written your own Bucket List? If you haven’t seen the movie, it’s a list of goals to accomplish before you die. Sort of. As a teenager, I used to write Summer Bucket Lists with friends, and we'd try to attempt to complete everything on it. The last year I did that was when I turned nineteen, I believe. Man, this survey had me reminiscing so many things!

[batz-surveys]

13.

01. What do you hope you grow out of? I hope someday, I grow out of my fear of driving. I have no clue where it came from. I used to have this dream that I was young, maybe about eight, and my mom had me wait in the car while she went in somewhere. I ended up behind the wheel of the car, and started driving, and then the brakes give out and I'm trapped, and the only way to stop the car, was to crash into a wall. I know I would be a good driver. I've driven before. I just get so anxious behind the wheel, though, so I don't drive. 02. What is the healthiest and unhealthiest thing you do on a regular basis? The healthiest thing I do on a daily basis is walk. I walk so much while I'm at work. I usually get anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 steps before I get home. The unhealthiest thing I do? Eat junk.

03. When looking for a SO, what three things are most important (besides looks)?   They have to be funny, they have to be a musician or really into music, and they have to be kind. I know the music thing is pretty shallow, but I've only ever been with musicians because music is a really big part of my life. I could talk about music until the sun comes up.

04. How much do you judge a person by their appearance? Not much, honestly. I mean, if someone looks like they haven't washed or whatever in a while, I can't judge that because I don't know what their situation is. I learned that lesson a long time ago when I was in high school. There was this girl on the bus that everyone used to make fun of - like even the bus driver who would call her "stank bitch" and spray air freshener to make the other kids laugh. Well, one day, I just sparked up a conversation with her and we became friends. Then one day, when I felt like we were close enough (maybe like a few weeks), I asked her why she sometimes smells. It turned out, she lived with like seven other people in a two-bedroom apartment and a lot of the time, she just didn't get a chance to shower. Nobody on that bus knew her situation, and nobody asked, but everyone laughed at her.

05. What is the most embarrassing thing you own? Like something I wouldn't want anyone to find? A butt plug, haha. But I've never used it. Also, I have what some would call an embarrassing amount of stuffies at my big age, haha. 06. What is the strangest habit you have? I can't really think of anything that I do habitually as strange, because it's normal to me. I guess, some would say making my bed before I get into it, strange and a waste of time since I'm getting in anyway. But it could be 11pm at night and I'm about to go to sleep, and I'll make the bed before I get in it.

07. What movie made you cry the most?   The Iron Giant. One of my favorite animated films of all time, but I'm literally sobbing even after it ends. Another one is Marley and Me. I only watched that one once. I remember watching it with my niece, and choking back tears because we were with other family members that I knew would poke fun at us for crying at it. But once they left (I think we were getting ready to go swimming afterwards) my niece just looked at me, all teary eyed, and we both just busted out crying, haha. She was a kid, and I was like, 20 at the time. And I just held her and we just cried for what seemed like forever.

08. What was one of the happiest moments of your childhood? Getting my first dog, Mr. Lucky. He was a liver-spotted Dalmatian, with one green eye, and one blue eye, and just so beautiful.

09. What was the worst date that you’ve ever been on?  Haha, I know there are worst dating stories out there, but here's my worst one: Before I started hanging out with my husband, I went on a date with this guy that I was acquaintances with - we went to go see The Wolfman (2010) and it was just really awkward because he kept trying to hold my hand but I didn't really want to since we barely knew each other (we hung out in a group a couple times but that was it). Then when he dropped me off at my house, he tried to kiss me on the lips as I went in to kiss him on the cheek, and it was just really awkward. 10. What’s your favorite vacation memory from when you were a child?  The first time we went to New York for Christmas. My brother and I even wrote and illustrated a book about the trip on the bus ride home.

11. What belief do you have that most people disagree with?   My own personal beliefs as far as having children. I don't think everyone needs to have them. I think that medical intervention (IVF and all that) to have children is like playing God, and I'm saying that as someone that's been offered that as a solution to my unexplained infertility - at one point in our lives together, my husband and I were on the fence about children. And I believe it's things like that, that is causing over-population in the world, which we all know is one of the causes of climate change. In the same breath, I'm pro-choice. If someone gets knocked-up accidentally, they have every right to abort the fetus, if it's not the right time for them to be having kids, if it's not a good situation, or whatever the case may be, nobody should bat an eye to the person wanting to get rid of the cells or fetus.

12. What impression do you try to give when you first meet someone? I'm just myself these days, for the most part. If I'm meeting a new parent at work, then I have to use my nice teacher voice, but still - I'm myself.

13. Who or what inspires you to be a better person? Myself. I'm a totally different person than I was in the past, and I just try my best to be a good person because back then, maybe I wasn't so good. But I was also under a lot of stress and abuse and I took it out on myself in all kinds of different ways. I want to be the person I needed back then, now.

14. What’s the TLDR description of your last relationship? He was an abusive, cheating, drunken asshole and I sucked up every minute of it because I was young, dumb, and in love until he broke it off.

15. If you found out your current life has been just a dream, would you choose to wake up? (You don’t know if your real life would be better or worse.) No, keep me asleep. Things are pretty good here in dreamland.

16. What dumb thing did you believe for a really long time? "That bananas give you nightmares if you eat them before bed." That's what I wrote, before looking it up, but it's actually true! But I'm allergic to bananas anyway, so it's not like it matters. So, we'll go with this one: until I was like, eleven, I used to think ALL cats were girls because I could never see a penis, haha. Don't ask me how I thought they reproduced, because I was convinced that they just basically spawned out of nowhere and that's why there were always so many stray cats in my neighborhood at the time, haha.

17. What are some things you would you like to achieve before you die? I would like to go to Italy, become a somewhat successful writer, and live in the country with a couple rescued farm animals. Nothing too major. I like the simple things.

18. Where would you like to retire? In the countryside, and it doesn't have to be here in America, either. I just want to live out the rest of my days peacefully with my husband, maybe some pets, somewhere away from all the noise.

19. What brings you the most joy in life? My husband, my family, my dog, music, doing artsy things, writing, and getting to work with my favorite kids everyday.

20. What is the best and worst part of your personality? The best part is I'm honest. I'll never bullshit you, even on things that might be deemed hard to talk about with others. But that's also the worst, because some people handle the truth very poorly and take offense to the things I say.

21. How would your perfect partner treat you? Like my husband does. He's loving, caring, and understanding, but firm when he needs to be and I need to hear it. He does whatever I need him to do, and is very involved. I see Tik Toks and videos of women who are treated so poorly by their husbands, and I just feel so sad for them. My husband is my best friend, my soulmate, and he treats me like a goddess, and I can't believe people settle for less than that.

12.

When was the last time you saw the person you like? This afternoon, before he left for work.

What are you listening to? The a/c and my dog licking her pillow.

Would you take back your last boyfriend/girlfriend? No times infinity!

Did you babysit for money when you were in middle school? I babysat, but I sure as hell didn't get paid. I was forced to look after my niece and nephew from the time I was thirteen, until I could get a real job at seventeen or eighteen.

Who is your favorite band? How long have they been? The Used. I've loved them from the first time I listened to their first album, which was a burned CD. That was when I was a freshman in high school, so either 2003 or 2004.

What do the last two texts you received from different people say? Hubs: "Damn, baby I'm sorry. I'll clean the tub tomorrow after I take you to work." I hurt my back last week, and couldn't clean it to take an epsom salt bath today. Mother In Law: "[heart emoji]"

Are you good at wrapping presents? I’m great at wrapping presents, but I prefer to put gifts in bags so that people can reuse them.

Who are you more like? Your mom or your dad? I would say I'm a pretty good mix of both, both personality wise and physical traits.

How do you respond to being nervous? Oh, not well at all.

Who were the last two boys to text you? You mean men. And it was my husband and my dad.

If you could have one thing right this second, what would it be? A winning lottery ticket so that I don't have to work tomorrow, and I can go see a doctor without fear of spending over $200 just for them to tell me I pulled a muscle.

How did you get your last bruise? Either a kid hitting me or me knocking into something.

Name something you disliked about today? My back hurt so bad when I woke up this morning, that I could barely get out of bed on my own.

Who is your favorite author? It's a toss-up between Clive Barker and Stephen King. Stephen King writes more, but Clive Barker's way with words and description is just wonderful. And then there's Edgar Allan Poe...fuck, I can't pick!

Do you like to have long hair or short hair? I like the way long hair looks on me, because my face is chubby, but I love that short hair is so much easier to manage.

Do you think doing drugs is cool? Haha, no? I think it's just something for people to do. That's like asking if I think doing the dishes is cool. It's not awesome, but people do it.

If you could go to Africa, would you? If I had time to research all the areas I would be going to, yes. And I'd have to take my dad. It's his dream to go to Africa.

What were you doing at 9:00 a.m. this morning? I was lying in bed watching Tik Toks.

How often do you see your most recent ex? Never, thank goodness.

Have you ever driven without a license? Haha, yes. But I don't drive. It was just some practice at our old storage unit place, and then I had a panic attack so...

Do you think you have made a difference in anyone’s life? I know I have. That sounds cocky, but it's true because people have literally told me.

Who were you last in a car with? A Lyft driver on Friday. Haha, it just set in that I haven't left my apartment other than to walk my dog since Friday.

What is bothering you right now? The weekend is over, my back still hurts, and I don't want to work because of it.

What are you planning to do on your 19th birthday? Ha! My 19th birthday was forever ago. I can't even remember what I did for it.

Who was the last person you talked to before you went to bed last night? My husband.

How old will the last person you kissed be on his/her next birthday? Thirty-six.

How did you meet the last person you kissed? Through Facebook. We had mutual friends, we talked for a couple weeks before meeting in person, he invited me to a band practice, and the rest, as they say, is history.

What does your hair look like? It’s in eight braids.

Do you like your hair? I like when it cooperates with me, sure.

Do you wake up cranky? Most days, yes.

Are there certain things that can’t be joked about with you? Sure, and they're obvious things that nobody should joke about in the first place.

Do you care who wins the Super Bowl? Not really.

Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? Yes.

Have you ever read the Hunger Games series? No.

Who knows your biggest secrets? My journals.

Do you have any hickeys on you? No.

Have you ever made out with someone you weren’t dating? Yes.

Can you recall the last time you sincerely liked someone? Now. I love my husband.

Do you have a good relationship with your parent(s)? I do now, yes. Distance from my mom healed my relationship with her. And my dad getting sober healed my dad's relationships with all of us.

How many siblings do you have? I have two brothers, although I don't talk to one of them, and a sister.

What do you hear right now? The restaurant down the fucking street. Same three fucking beats, in rotation, almost every night.

What friend haven’t you seen in a while that you’d like to see? Oh man, I don't even want to pull at this string. Next!

Who did you last shoot a dirty look at? Honestly, probably a parent of a kid at work.

Last time you were sick? I had a little sinus issue last week. I think it was from cleaning the bathroom without proper ventilation, though, and not actually catching it from somewhere.

What letter does your boyfriend/girlfriend’s last name start with? L.

Has the last person you kissed ever been to your house? Yes, he lives here.

What would you do if Jesse McCartney rang you up and asked you on a date?  I forgot about this guy - I'm pretty sure I thought him and Aaron Carter (RIP) was the same person.

Would you ever date someone who was absolutely gorgeous but thought they were better than everyone else? I'm married. But for the question's sake, probably not. I've done that before in the past and honestly, he wasn't even that cute and his attitude made him very unattractive.

Do you dislike anyone? No.

Why? I let go of the reasons I dislike a person when I let that person go. Like, the former question made me think of my brother that I don't talk to. I don't hate him, really. I just got fed up with all the things he's done to my family, and cut him loose. I want nothing but the best for him, and his family, because their my family, too. But, I also want nothing to do with that side of my family. I've had enough. It's not a grudge, like my mom likes to say, it's just the end of our relationship. Just because the same blood runs through our veins, doesn't mean we have to be family.

How would you feel if you got the person you liked? I got him.

What kind of phone do you have? Samsung Galaxy S8. Shut up, it still works fine.

What do you smell like? My leave-in conditioner, so kind of coconutty.

Are you allergic to anything? Yes, several things.

Have you ever been to a spa? No.

Do you think they miss you too? I'm sure he would rather be here with me, yes.

Do you know how to do a cart-wheel? I've never done a cartwheel before in my life. I've always been afraid of breaking my neck, haha. Which is stupid, because I skateboarded in high school with no regard for breaks and bruises because I never wore pads or a helmet.

In one word, how would you define yourself? Tired.

How did you feel when you woke up? Tired and achy.

What was the last thing that made you feel fortunate? Reading that last question and realizing how lucky and fortunate I am that I got away from my last relationship in one piece, because some women aren't as lucky. It wasn't until I was in my relationship with my now husband, that I realized how badly I was treated and controlled, and was blind to all of it.

Can you hear a lot of traffic noise from your house? Sometimes. We mostly hear the restaurant that's down the road.

Are there any good Thai restaurants where you live? I haven't had Thai in such a long time. The one that I used to go to, before going vegetarian went out of business, so I'm not sure. I don't eat Thai food because I know they use fish sauce in a lot of their recipes and I don't like asking for them to make it special just because I don't eat animals. Have you ever drawn or painted a self-portrait? I have. What was the last red thing you ate? Salsa. Do you know anyone in a relationship with someone who’s old enough to be their parent? No. Have you ever found something really interesting at an antique store?

No. Who was your last voicemail from? It's been so long since I've gotten a voicemail, because I voiced to my family to not leave one unless it's an emergency, haha. But it was probably my mom. Do you have any Italian heritage? I don't think so. Did your longest relationship make it past the 5 year mark? Yes, we've been together for fourteen years, married for four of those this Halloween. (: What time do you usually eat dinner? Around 630pm, sometimes 7pm if I'm cooking. I don't get off of work until six in the evening. Would you ever want a career in the performing arts? I think it would be cool, but I also think I'm too shy and have too much anxiety to be a performer of any kind. I can't even do karaoke with my family without feeling anxious and protesting against it. Do you know any narcissists? I'm starting to think I do. What has been your favorite job you’ve ever had? When I was a nanny, it was really great, but specifically this one girl - I nicknamed her Green Bean - that I cared for. She was such a sweet baby, and as she grew up, she was just so smart and well behaved. Her family was amazing, too. I still keep in contact with all of them. I've never cared for a kid that made that much of an impact on me since. When was the last time you had a power outage from a storm? This past Friday morning, actually. Have you ever been falsely accused of something serious? Yes, but not to the extent where law enforcement needed to be involved. Do you ever Skype/Facetime your friends and family? Sometimes my mom will want to use the Google equivalent of those platforms to have a conversation. I can't remember the name of it. Anyway, that's once in a blue moon that we do.   What did you think of the last movie you saw in theaters? The last movie I saw in theaters was the newest Exorcist movie, and I thought it was pretty scary and it was worth seeing. Did you ever set up a lemonade stand when you were a kid? Nah, I never did that. When was the last time you spoke to someone in a different language? Hahaha, a long time ago, when I was in high school and took French, and had an oral exam where I had to only speak French.

[batz-surveys]

10.

Does it irritate you when people are late for things, or do you not really care? Oh no, I hate when people are late. It's not that hard to be on time.

Are you nervous about anything? I really want to call out tomorrow. Honestly, I want to do it to spend the day with my husband. It's been a few weeks since I've been able to spend a day with him and it's killing me, haha. But also, with everything that went on last week with my dad, I could use a mental health day. Is your bed against more than one of your walls? No, the head of it is just against one wall.

When was the last time someone chased you with a hose? I don't think that's ever happened before.

Have you ever burned yourself while taking something out of the oven? Yes. It sucks. Do you think seeing a gay/lesbian couple in public is gross? Yikes, no way. I love seeing love, no matter what the couple looks like. Have you ever made out in your room? Last time? Yes. I don't know, probably a couple weeks ago. I'm honestly not that big on the making out. I'm kind of a "we know this is going to happen, so let's just get to the good part" kind of woman, haha. Don’t you just hate running into people you know? YES. It's like 90% of my anxiety when I go to somewhere that I know will be busy. I've known a lot of people in my younger years, and I'm a completely different person than I was then, so running into anyone from my past is such a worry of mine. Who is the last person that disappointed you? Myself, I'm sure. Have you ever felt like you hit rock bottom? Oh, I definitely have before. What are you going to have for dinner tonight? I had a peanut butter and pickle sandwich for dinner. Hey, don't knock it until you try it. Do you think the last person you kissed cares about you? I hope my husband cares about me! No, I'm kidding. I know he does. Have you ever sold your old clothes instead of donating them? Yeah, I used to have a Poshmark like...six, seven years ago. All my listings sold, and I made a little over $100.

Does your favorite mall have more than one floor? The department stores in it do. But not the mall itself. I mean, it barely has any stores left in it, haha. Do you have a crazy aunt? Nah. I think that's going to be me in the future though, haha. Do you like family get togethers? Sure. I don't dislike them as much as I used to. It depends on who is showing up, really. Have you ever been to an art museum? Yes.

Would you kiss the last guy/girl that texted you? Yes, I kiss him everyday. He's my hubby.

Have you ever injured yourself while you were under the influence of alcohol? Yes.

Will you talk to the person you love/like tonight? Yes, we live together.

Are you still with the person you fell hardest for? If not, do you ever miss them? Yes, I married him.

Do you think you’ll kiss someone tonight? My husband (sheesh, this is getting redundant) before we both turn over to go to sleep.

Have you ever kissed anyone with the last name Jones? Not to my knowledge.

Is it possible to be ‘in love’ with someone, if they don’t love you back? Absolutely.

How many times have you cried in the past week? Oh God, I can't even count how many times I lost it this past week. My dad was in the hospital, and I cried like every day until he came home. And then I cried tears of joy when I finally saw him outside of the hospital. If you can't tell, I really love my dad, haha.

If you could have one wish right now, what would it be? Honestly? That I was rich so I didn't have to work. I know that's completely selfish, but hey, it's my wish. If I could wish for more wishes, then I'd use them on the worldwide shitshow going on.

Ever been friends with someone you didn’t expect? Yes.

Who pissed you off today? Nobody really. Today was a pretty chill day.

Do you have any plans for the weekend? Just rest and visit with my parents some more. I went over there today, but my dad just got out of the hospital, and I just feel the need to be around him because I missed him.

I bet you miss someone, huh? I missed my dad, but I got to see him today.

Are you okay with making a total fool of yourself? Hell no. I'm not lucky like my husband. He was born with no embarrassing bones in his body. I, on the other hand, am very easily embarrassed.

Do you still promise? Yes.

The last time you kissed someone, were your arms around their neck? No.

Does it make you uncomfortable when you receive a compliment? YES. So, a few weeks ago, this new parent that I met for the first time at the school I work at, goes, "You're a beautiful lady." And I go, "Oh...hah, um, it's really just my makeup." And she just kind of looks at me and smiles, and then it was just kind of quiet, and so then I just blurt out that their kid had a great day. Even at my big ass age, I still am so awkward about compliments. I remember when I was a kid, I used to get compliments about my eyes and my eyelashes, and I literally would cry of embarrassment, haha.

You have to get a facial piercing, what do you get? Probably a Medusa. I've always wanted one, but I feel like it would look weird since my upper lip line isn't that symmetrical.

Did you hold hands with anyone yesterday? I hold my husband's hand all the time.

Are you legal to drink? Yes. I have been for quite some time.

What’s the closest black thing to you? My bras on the drying rack, haha. All my underclothes are black for the most part.

Doctor tells you your pregnant. You say? "Well, I didn't think that could happen. Whoops."

Name something you cannot wait for? Halloween!

Did you get to sleep in today? I did, but not as long as I wanted to. I wanted to be able to spend time with my husband before he went to work this morning, so I woke up earlier than I wanted to. It was worth it; it's always worth it.

Were you happy when you woke up? Yes, because the storm was over and we had power again. I was so restless last night because of the storm.

Where do you want to live when you are older? Somewhere far away from everyone else, honestly. I just want to live in the country, on a big plot of land, in the peace and quiet.

You receive $50 without any reason, what do you spend it on? Probably groceries, not that it would buy that much nowadays.

Have you done anything illegal in the past week? Nah.

What is better: cute smile, or amazing eyes? Both.

Do you have siblings? Yes.

Your first dog? A liver-spotted Dalmatian, with one blue eye, and one green eye, named Mister Lucky.

Is it easy for you to pretend everything’s okay? Sure. For me, it will always be easier to say, "I'm fine" then to ask for help.

Name one stupid thing you did last night? Probably made some kind of stupid face or said something silly.

When meeting someone new, are you afraid they won’t like you? Oh, when I meet new people, I automatically think they don't like me unless proven otherwise, haha.

Have you done anything sneaky lately? Today actually, yes. My mom and I went upstairs to talk about a trip to Atlanta in December. It's going to be a surprise family vacation for my brother's 40th birthday. We'll have to tell him about when we're going and where, just so he can clear his schedule, but I have something pretty special planned as a gift and that will be the real surprise.

Have you ever had feelings for someone and thought “This is the person I want to be with forever”? Yes, multiple times in my life. But I'm so glad I ended up saving the best for last. He's the best husband anyone could ever ask for.

How do you calm down when you’re angry? Oh, I have to yell or throw something. I don't know how to deal with my anger. I would never hurt anyone, but I can't say the same for myself.

When you’re sick or sad, do you want to be alone or do you want someone there with you? I want to be alone so I'm not spreading germs, but I also need my husband to tuck me in, bring me food, and tell me I'm going to be okay. When I'm sad, I need a giant bear hug from him, so I'd say I need someone there with me both while I'm sick and sad.

[batz-surveys]

7.

Do you keep notes, drawings or letters that people give you? Yes, definitely. I'm a very sentimental person.

Have you ever been locked in a car with a significant other? Yes, of course. The first thing we do when we get in the car is lock the door.

Have you had a significant other that you never kissed? No.

How many true best friends are present in your life? Honestly, one. It's my brother so I'm not sure if it even counts.

Do you currently have a significant other? Yes, I have a husband.

Would you ever sacrifice anything for someone you care about? Depends on what it is and who it is, but most likely, yes.

Do your parents approve of the people you hang out with? Sure, the only people I hang out with are them and my husband's family.

Would you be able to stand being in the same room as someone you hate? No.

Do you depend on people at all, in any way? I do. I don't drive, so my husband drives me almost everywhere I need to go. If not, then my dad is happy to give me a ride because he's retired and always looking for things to do. And then if that's no good, I'll just take a Lyft. I don't mind - it makes me feel like a city girl, haha.

Have you ever lost a close friend? Yes. Not to death, but other reasons.

Has anybody ever held a grudge against you for a dumb reason? Yeah, but I've also done the same so I'm not any better.

Has anybody ever dated you only for your looks? I'm sure of this, though it was never said. I dated this guy named Russell and after we started saying "I love you" eventually our relationship got more physical, and he would say things like "I love parts of you" after I'd say it to him. That made me kind of sad reading my answer.

Have you ever stayed up late talking to someone you like on the phone or online? Yes to both.

Do your friends like the people you date? Do their friends like you? Whenever I was dating, my friends had to approve because their opinion was important to me. Looking back, knowing what I know now, I probably would have just done what I wanted to do since some of the people they liked and said "go for it" ended up being some of the worse.

Do your parents let you date, or do you sneak around? I'm a grown woman with a husband, haha.

Have you ever felt backstabbed by a close friend? Yes, almost all of my female best friends did something behind my back. It's why the older I got, the more I weeded them out and just hung out with my guy friends. They're no drama and they tell you shit straight up. I miss them sometimes, especially when like, new video games release. I always thing, "Awh man, me and the guys would probably go to a midnight release." Anyways, yeah, I've been stabbed in the back so many times and I think it's why it's hard for me to make friends. I have a very hard time trusting people. Plus, it's difficult to make new friends in your 30s.

Do you have any handshakes with anybody? I have a handshake with my husband that we've been doing forever.

Have you ever regretted ignoring anybody? I don't think I ignore anyone, because I know what it feels like to be ignored.

Has a friend of yours ever confessed their love to you? Yes, this happened twice. The first time my best friend at the time did it, because we were in a fight. I swore she was flirting with our friend that she knew I liked, while we were at the fair, and I called her out on it. The guy had taken us to the fair, and was driving us home, and he parked in a parking lot, and got out and said, "I'm not driving you home until you guys talk this shit out." So, in the middle of the fight she just yells, "I'm not flirting with him, because I'm in love with you!" We made up, and years later we ended up together for a little over a year, haha. The second time, another best friend at the time, told me she loved me. We were stoned off our asses, I had just gone through a terrible break-up, and the only thing I could say was, "I love you, too, you know that." And she was like, "No...like, I think I'm in love with you." And the only thing I could say after that was, "I'm...I'm really too high." And we both laughed, and about an hour later after we were normal again, we went outside to talk because we were at a party. We had a discussion, under the stars, and looking at the two of us that way, it was a romantic scene, but the words weren't.

Have you gone out with someone, then ruined the friendship you had before? Yes, but I also became even better friends with an ex after breaking up. We just realized that the both of us were better off as best friends. We did more stuff together, adventure wise, as friends, then we did as a couple, haha.

Can you trust any of your friends at full capacity? I don't really trust anyone 100%.

Is the word ‘love’ even in your vocabulary? Yes.

Who do you care about more: your significant other/current crush or your best friend? I love both my best friend, which is my brother, and my husband as fiercely as possible, just in different ways.

Have you written or drawn anything for somebody else? Yes.

Do you tend to hide your emotions from certain people? How do you hide them? Yeah. I stuff them down, like Santa down a chimney, haha. I've always been good at that.

Do you have any pictures of yourself with the person you like? Yes.

Do your friends know how to make you smile in tough times? Yeah.

What are some things that you consider a waste of time? Why? Doom scrolling for sure. I had such a problem with it when I first got TikTok because my thinking was, "oh these videos are short, how long could it have been?" Then I look at the clock and like, two hours flew by. I have it better under control because sometimes when I go home, I'll put my phone on the charger in the other room and make myself do other hobbies or chores.

What feeling do you have the most difficult in expressing? Anger. I do not have a cool head at all when it comes to certain things and I tend to explode over little things, especially during the week of and before my period. Like, don't even look at me wrong those weeks.

How do you think you would handle yourself in a crisis situation? I guess it would depend on the crisis. I thought that I was okay in a crisis, but my dad had to have surgery yesterday and I was holding my breath until I could see him after work. The amount of stress I put myself through when he was completely fine during and after the surgery was so unnecessary. But I've always been obsessed with the idea of my parents dying. As a kid, I was convinced if they left me home, and they went out or something, that they would die. It's something I know I have to work on with a therapist, and it's gotten better the older I get, but sheesh. But as far as other things that aren't family related? I think I'd be okay.

How would someone be able to tell if you were happy? I'd probably be smiling. I have a very expressive face.

Are you usually an organized person? Why/why not? Yes, I'm very organized for the most part. In my apartment, it's literally the physical example of the phrase: "A place for everything and everything in it's place." Now as far as my thoughts go…well, I'm organized to make lists to stay on track, haha.

Do you make your bed everyday? Why/why not? I guess I do. Like even if I don't make it in the morning, I'll make it before my nightly shower so I can get into a made bed. I know, it may be a waste of time to some people since I'm literally getting in it later that night, but I just like the feeling of pulling back neatly placed sheets and climbing into a made bed.

If you had the power to shapeshift, what would you turn into first? Why? Probably another human, honestly. Like, I'd totally walk into a billionaire's bank, as that billionaire, and act like I was them and take out a significant amount of money. I'd pay off the debts of everyone I know, help out some homeless people, donate to a bunch of no-kill animal shelters, and buy a home for my husband and myself.

Does any particular season make you happier than others? Why/why not? Fall and Winter! Why? Well, some people get depression in those seasons, but I get seasonal depression in the summer because I'm stuck inside. It's too hot to do anything so I stay inside a lot. I'm a homebody but I still love taking walks with my husband and/or my dog, going on picnics, etc. But I don't do it in the summer because it's just too hot here and the not being outside does something to my mood. Plus Fall = Halloween and that's my all time favorite holiday, not to mention it's also my wedding anniversary!

Do you like to exaggerate things for effect? No, I don't like attention like that.

How often do you cry? What can bring you to tears? Too often and literally almost anything. I think it comes from always being stifled emotionally as a child. Thanks, Mom!

Would you describe yourself as a peace-keeper or a trouble-maker? Peace-Keeper.

Do you give money to homeless people/beggars? Why/why not? I never really have cash on me, so no, but if I did and someone came up to me, I probably would. It's rare that I even have the chance to get asked because I usually just go to work and come straight home.

In what circumstances do you feel most at peace? When it's a nice, breezy, cool Fall day, and the sky is grey, and I can open my windows and listen to the wind and just relax. Maybe I'm reading, or maybe I'm playing video games, or maybe I'm watching a movie. But man, I love that kind of weather and I can't wait for the first cool day of Fall because right now, it's still like 83F+ here.

Do you enjoy hugging people? Do you enjoy receiving hugs? Sure, and yes, I've always been a hugger.

Do you think that luck has much to play in your life? I'm not sure about that. A lot of what I have, I've worked hard for whether it's my nice apartment or my relationships with the people I love. Now, if I won the lottery…then I'd think more about luck playing a part in my life.

Do you think you are interesting or a bore? I'm probably pretty boring to a lot of people, but I think I'm pretty interesting because I know everything that's happened in my life. I share about thirty percent of myself with others willingly. But if someone were to ask the right questions, I'm an open book. The only person who really knows just how interesting I am, is my husband. And my journals, of course, but they're not people.

How would you rate your maturity among your peers? Scale of 1-10? Oh, I think I'm probably a five. I know a lot of things that people in their 30s should know and all that, but I also laugh at farts and say the word "boobies."

What do you feel is your number one flaw? Are you doing anything about it? I'm shy. I am in my thirties and I'm still shy. It's hard for me to talk to people outside of work. I wish it weren't that way.

Do you see yourself as worthy of love? Why/why not? Sure, I've been through the fucking ringer, and I deserve it.

What is your greatest disappointment? Probably something I did. I'm good at being disappointed at myself.

Do you think you are competitive? Do you really dislike losing? Haha, yes, but only when it comes to video games and board games.

On which topics do you feel qualified at giving advice? Love. I've had a lot of different kinds of relationships with a lot of different kinds of people and I ended up with someone incredible.

What is a talent you wish you possessed? I wish I could read music so I can play all kinds of instruments.

What would you be famous for? I'd love to be a published author that was semi-successful. I'm not sure if I wanted to be like, super famous, but to know people were reading my books and enjoying them or talking about them at least, would be pretty cool.

How long does it take until you can’t be alone anymore? Hmm, I'm actually not sure. I love being by myself.

Are you anything like any members of your family? Sure.

Do you tend to be punctual or are you usually late? I'm definitely punctual and I hate waiting on people.

5.

The last time you were at a diner, what did you order? We don't really have any true diners here. We have a Metro Diner down the street but that's a chain restaurant. But I guess since that's the closest thing, the last time I went I had grits, scrambled eggs, and pancakes.

Do you usually buy souvenirs when you go to amusement parks? I haven't been to an amusement park in so long, but no. The only thing I bring home are the prizes I win.

Are you happy with your weight? No, not at all.

What’s the dress code for your job? Do you like it?: We don't have a dress code other than the obvious stuff. Don't wear anything with anything offensive on it, and nothing revealing - so no short-shorts, low-cut shirts/tops, etc. And yes, I like it, though sometimes I wish we had a uniform just to make picking out clothes a little easier.

Last color you painted your nails? A dark violet-red.

Last time you got a hair cut? About two weeks ago. I needed a trim very badly. I was hanging on to the length but it looked terrible after straightening it. It looks so much better now.

When you want to buy coffee, where do you go? Either Dunkin or Bigby Coffee. Unless it's wintertime and I'm in the mood for peppermint mocha, then I'll go to Starbucks. But usually I make my coffees at home.

Did you try McDonald’s new smoothies? What do you think of them? Damn, how old is this survey? Haha. No, I've never had a smoothie from there.

What are some things you like fashion-wise that most people don’t? I don't know. I don't keep up with fashion trends.

What are some trends you dislike that everyone seems to love? Cropped everything. Not everyone is comfortable with showing themselves, whether they're fit or not, and I think it's maddening to have to pay full price for half a shirt, or half a sweater, or whatever. Stop cutting shit in half!

Ever been to Gaia Online? Do you have an account?: No, I have no clue what that is.

Where can you usually be found on a Friday night? At home. At the end of the work week, I need to decompress by doing a little self-care and playing video games, haha.

What do you think of underage drinking?: I did it, so I can't really say too much about it. I feel like as long as you're smart enough to not do anything stupid, like drink and drive, or drink and go cuss out a cop, then it's whatever. Whenever we drank, it was always at a party or some friend's house whose parents were the "I'd rather you do it in the house than get busted for it somewhere else" kind.

What’s your favorite amusement park? I've only ever been to one and that's Carowinds.

Do you like rollercoasters? The last time I rode one I did, but I'm sure if I were face to face with the choice of riding one, I'd probably bow out.

How old are your siblings? Eh, almost 50, 39, 50. I'm the baby. Damn, writing out those numbers made me feel so weird.

Would you ever enlist in the army? No.

Are you afraid of public restrooms? I’m not afraid of them, but I don’t like to use them unless it's an emergency.

What perfume do you wear? I have several kinds of perfumes and body sprays, so I'll just name what I've been wearing for the past few weeks: Vampire Blood from Bath and Body Works. It's my favorite scent right now.

How often do you use lotion? Not often at all, but I should. I usually only moisturize during the winter months because my skin is usually so dry then.

How old is your oldest and youngest friend?: My oldest friend is my brother, and he's 39. My youngest friend is also someone I work with and he's 22 today!

Do you donate your old stuff to Goodwill? Depends on what it is. If it's small enough to fit in these donate boxes that are all over town, I'll put the stuff in there. But if it's something bigger, I'll either drop it off there if I know I'll be heading that way, or a church that's near my work that takes donated things to the women/children center.

Would you buy used clothes? Of course. Actually, a lot of my closet are things I've bought from Poshmark and Mercari. I used to go to thrift stores, too, but usually their plus size sections are lacking what I like so I stopped going.

Do you wear jeans? I can't remember the last time I wore jeans. I know it's been at least ten years.

How many hours do you usually work a week? 34 hours. 40 hours is just too much for me, man. I've made my peace with it.

How old were you in 1999?: I was 11. Sheesh.

Last time you were at a job interview? How did it go? It went great. I went in for an interview, and I think this place was so desperate for anyone with experience, that I got hired on the spot basically.

Do you do your own laundry? Since I was like, eleven, yes.

What is your favorite kitchen appliance? My Keurig.

If you could play an instrument, what would it be? I really wish I could learn to play the drums, because that would mean I have rhythm, haha. But seriously, my husband's a drummer and he would always try to teach me when we lived in our old house. I just can't get it.

Your Favorite children’s book? There were these books I used to read as a kid called Pinky and Rex. It was about a boy and a girl and the adventures they went on and whatnot. I can't remember anything they did, but I remember being a kid, and my dad taking us to the library and I would get so excited when one I hadn't read yet was on the shelf. Then as I got older, I loved Goosebumps.

If you have a tattoo, what is it? I have a unicorn tattoo and a tattoo of a phonograph on my leg.

Can you juggle? Nope.

Name one person/people from your past you wish you could go back and talk to. James. We were friends from the time we were like, seven, and then I threw away our friendship because my abusive ex didn't like him because he didn't believe that we weren't fucking. Even if we never became friends after all this time, I at least want the opportunity to tell him that I'm sorry for ditching him for a guy that ended up SAing me and that I never stopped thinking about him and our crazy adventures. He was like a brother to me. I'll never forget him.

What is under your bed? On my side of the bed there's Rubbermaid tubs. One with my hair tools, one with linens, one with my t-shirts, and one with my shoes that aren't in boxes (Crocs, sandals, etc). On my husband's side of the bed there's a laundry basket with his loose shoes, this diorama that his Step-Dad built him, and a large footlocker with…some stuff in it. <.<;

What would be your Dream Job? My dream job is no job, haha. But I guess being an author would be kind of neat. Or a pastry chef…although even though I love baking, I'm pretty critical of my desserts so I feel like pastry chef would definitely be more stressful.

What is your job now? I'm a preschool teacher.

Do you like your Job? Yeah, I love working with kids. I just don't want my own.

After you retire where would ideally like to live. Retire? Pfft. I'll probably work until I die. But if that was an actual option for a middle-class person like me, I'd love to live in the countryside, on a small farm maybe, and just write stories and plant vegetables.

I had covid for the second time last month, and honestly, I haven't felt like myself since. I get brain fog, and I'm tired even after like…nine hours of sleep.

Do you like the band A Skylit Drive? I don't dislike them. I think I had a mixed CD with them on it. Told you I'm old, haha.

What’s stopping you from going after what you want? I need to make money to pay bills. What I really want is to be home, all day, and just create.

If you suddenly went deaf, what would be your most missed sound? Yikes, that's actually one of my biggest fears. I can't pick just one thing, so enjoy a word avalanche: I'd miss my husband's voice, especially in the morning or when his southern accent comes out stronger than normal. I'd miss listening to any record The Used has made. I'd miss my mom's voice, my dad's loud-ass yawns, and my older brother's laughter when we've said something stupid. I'd miss hearing my dog snore. I'd miss hearing all my students playing outside, and hearing them call me when they need something or they want me to join in. Hell, I'd even miss hearing my own farts.

Have you ever been to a different country? No.

Do you laugh when someone falls down? If I know they're okay, sure.

When’s the last time you laughed really hard? I don't know, probably yesterday or even this morning. My husband is the funniest person I know.

When’s the last time you cried really hard? I'm glad you added the "really hard" because I cry like, daily, haha. I can't remember the last time I cried hard. Probably last year when my brothers got drunk, and my eldest brother punched my older brother in the face so hard that it broke his jaw in three places. He was bleeding from the ears and I had to go over there at like, midnight to convince him to go to the ER and when I saw him, I just broke down because he's my best friend and I was worried about bleeding on the brain. We don't talk to that brother anymore. There's a whole list of shitty things he's done in our lifetime, and that was honestly the final straw. So, I personally went no-contact with him and his family.

Are your nails/toes painted? Nope.

Are you usually quiet or loud? I'm the quiet one. I've always been the quiet one. Unless, I get a few cups of liquid courage then I'm super chatty. But I wouldn't say I'm loud.

Do you ever check your horoscope? No, I used to though.

What color is your microwave? Black.

What was the last thing you ate? Some pasta and vegetables.

Do you talk to people even though you hate them? I laughed aloud at this one because there are so many people that I dislike that I come into contact with at work and I have to suck it up and be friendly. I'm a teacher and the amount of stupid and rude parents I deal with is astonishing, but you'd never know because I'm always smiling.

Name something you have always wanted and never got. A winning lottery ticket, haha.

When was the last time you went outside? About an hour ago to walk the dog.

Do you tend to make things complicated? No, not really.

Do you want a small or big wedding? I wanted a somewhat big wedding, but I had a micro-wedding because we got married when Covid was new, in 2020. We always said that we would have a bigger, more traditional wedding later on (like a vow renewal) but quite frankly, I don't see the point because I loved that day the way it was.

Basically a girl's mother dies and she reconnects with her dad, goes to stay with him, falls for a con-artist with a good heart, and that's about it.

I obviously still have it, because it doesn't just disappear, but it's definitely way more manageable now.

Do you know what your dreams are? Honestly, I have a lot of dreams and some are attainable if I just work for them. Others are like, winning the lottery kind of dreams, haha.

Do you like Barnes and Noble? Sure, it's my go-to store when I'm out of ideas for Xmas presents.

Do you like antique stores? I don't go to them.

Do you like being an adult or being a kid better? I'd say being an adult. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact I have to work, haha. But I mostly like my job and I have adult freedom and adult money, so it's all good. When you're a kid, you're totally dependent on someone to care for you, and those same caregivers give you a bunch of rules and shit to follow.

Do you want to start a new hobby? Starting this up again is my new hobby. But for how long…? Haha.
