I used to do surveys on Xanga, then Livejournal, both of which are disasters now... hence "nothinglastsonline". Anyway, I'm back on Tumblr now, trying to do the same, before the next site (which will surely only consist of gifs or something) but yeah.

1. Name a fruit:
Cherries.
2. What is the most physically painful thing you’ve ever experienced?
That I can remember, because I have no clue what my childhood eye surgeries were like: getting my braces put on. Idk if it’s that bad for everyone, but I was in a lot of pain the first four days and couldn’t eat anything. Or I’ve just been very lucky with the amount of physical pain I’ve had to deal with.
3. Do you know any German words?
Like, “hello“ and numbers up to ten. I like German; I find it easier to understand than most of the Romance languages.
4. Do you have a passport?
Yup.
5. What do you think of London?
Assuming you’re talking about London, England and not London, Ontario... I’ve never been, but I’d like to. It’s not top of my list of cities I’d like to visit, but I’d definitely like to go.
6. Do you say any words that are pretty specific to your area? I’m not sure what those would be anymore. My town used to have a few of its own slang terms when I was in high school, but the main one fell out of fashion some time in the early 2010s. I think it’s harder these days for regional slang to develop. The kids in my teaching placement all just used slang that’s popular online. Kinda makes me sad. Maybe you could count the use of Jamaican patois, which is popular across the GTA. Idk.
7. What should the drinking age be? Ehhhh 18, I guess. Or even 16. Whatever would make alcohol less of an “oOoOoH forbidden!!!11″ thing that makes people abuse it as soon as they’re legal to. 8. Do you know anyone who everyone thinks is gay, but is not out? Mmmm not really. One who isn’t out to his family but to friends, who apparently everyone thought was gay but I didn’t. Unless someone is an over-the-top stereotype, I tend to take people at face value and not assume, because I’ve been assumed to be gay (I’m not) before based on not being feminine. I don’t care anymore what people think, but it did suck as a kid. I wonder if that would be different now that being gay is much more accepted than it was then, if kids still bully each other by saying someone is gay. 9. Are your teeth straight? They are now. See braces incident above. 10. Vegetables: better raw or cooked? Ehhh generally raw. 11. Have you ever smoked? No. 12. What is the best store to buy clothes? This cheap store up north called The Patch. 13. Are you on Facebook? Yeah, I wish I wasn’t though. 14. Would you ever paint your house an unusual color? I’d kill for one of those cute, pastel-coloured clapboard houses that you see in Newfoundland. That wouldn’t fly in my town though. Not that I’ll ever be able to afford a house here. 15. What is the cutest animal? Piggos. 16. Would you rather eat half a stick of butter or a bowl of ketchup? Uhhhhh I like butter, but I think I’d go with the ketchup in this situation. Or actually, maybe the butter, half a stick isn’t that much. 17. You’re ordering pizza: what’s on it? I usually just get the classic pepperoni and extra cheese. Little Caesars has had this stuffed crazy bread crust pizza this summer and oh my god it’s so bad for you but so delicious. 18. Would you mind dating someone significantly shorter than you? Nah, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. Height is definitely one of my biggest physical turn-ons but I wouldn’t not date someone just because of their height. 19. Can you quote the movie “Mean Girls”? The basic quotes, yeah. TIFF is having a free Mean Girls screening on Festival Street this year, da fuq. 20. How sick and tired of Twilight are you? Obviously this survey is older (aren’t they all?), but while I was never a Twilight fan, I didn’t find the craze annoying. I like seeing kids actually be interested and passionate about things, instead of how it is now where it seems the only thing that matters to anyone is social media and political bullshit. Anyway, on Twilight, I just commented this on a thrift store blog, but I went to a Salvation Army thrift store on Tuesday and oh man, so many Twilight novelty shirts. Like “I’d let Edward bite me”, “Keep Calm and Watch Edward Sparkle”, shit like that. I fucking love thrift stores. That one was gross, and I was there with my mum and she wanted to leave because of it, but I could’ve spent all day there if I was there on my own. 21. Do you say you did something “by accident” or “on accident”? By accident. I’m pretty sure “on accident” isn’t correct. 22. Would you ever like to visit Boston? I just did in May. It was nice and I wish we’d had more time there! The people were kinda rude and the traffic was horrifying, but very nice city with so much history. 23. What is your favorite movie? Little Miss Sunshine. 24. Are you a good dancer? Nope. 25. Have you seen the Statue of Liberty? Yes. 26. What about the Eiffel Tower? Not in person. 27. Do you like The Mars Volta? Are they still around? I can’t even remember any of their songs. 28. Have you ever swam in the Atlantic Ocean? Not full out swam, but waded, yeah. 29. The Pacific? ^ same. 30. What happens when you go into the dead sea? Don’t you float? 31. Can you make yourself cry? With difficulty. 32. How much older is your best friend than you? About five months. 33. Peanut butter or chocolate? Chocolate. 34. Have you ever held a starfish? I think so. A dead one, for sure, but I think I’ve held a live one at an aquarium? 35. Can you run a mile? LOLOL. (I mean, I could, but in what time period?) 36. Do you know what post-modernism is? Yes. I don’t particularly like it. 37. What would happen if you suddenly lost 25lbs? That would be awesome. 38. Can you do CPR? No. 39. Do you live in the state you were born in? Yes, the province. 40. Would you rather live in Hawaii or Alaska? Hawaii. 41. What color are your eyes? Dark brown. 42. Don’t you just hate biting your tongue? Does anyone like it? 43. Could you use a haircut? Probably. 44. Ice cream in a cup or a cone? In a cup, I don’t like cones.

it begins
Do you flush the toilet with your hand or your foot? My hand. Public restrooms don’t freak me out at all. I was never taught to be super cautious of them other than not to put my stuff on the floors. Tbh they’re probably cleaner than your home bathroom with how often they’re cleaned. So on New Year’s Eve this year my friends were playing this “Are You Normal�� board game and they lost it at my friend for saying she didn’t cover the toilet seat with toilet paper in a public bathroom. I never have either. Man, what a way to start a new survey blog.
What’s your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Ex: ENTP)? INFJ. I get either that or INFP on tests, but I think INFJ fits a bit better.
Do you read any blogs and if so, which ones? No. Now that I think of it I never really have followed blogs obsessively. Some Livejournal communities and shit on Xanga yeah, and of course some websites that are now dead.
Where do you typically buy your clothes? Old Navy, Bluenotes, H&M, random places.
On a scale of one to ten, how healthy do you eat? LOL
What do you think is the most valuable college major? Ughhhh I hate this thing I see online (and overall in culture) lately of people being total zealots about ~*~*~STEM~*~*~ and arguing that doing literally any other degree is useless. The majority of people I know who went to university just have jobs based on the fact that they have a degree, not based on what it was. Tbh if I had a kid I’d be encouraging them to go into a trade. Even like, gender studies, which I hate a lot of the shit they teach, I recognize that majoring in that would be useful if you want to work for a women’s shelter, certain charities, in social work, etc. Don’t get me started on university. I can tell you it’s hilarious being on the other side now listening to 16/17 year olds talk about university, how they think it really matters which one you go to and what you get accepted for and stuff, when you know being on the other side that most of them will probably end up switching majors anyway.
Which books should I read this summer? I want to head The Handmaid’s Tale since somehow I managed to go through Canadian high school and university without reading it, but I feel like that’s really not a summer read.
Would you rather have curvy legs or skinny legs? Curvy.
Do you believe in ghosts and if so, have you ever seen one? I want to believe, but I’ve never seen one.
What’s your favorite game show? Family Feud and Celebrity Name Game. I miss the early 00s when there were a million game shows on TV.
How many times a day do you use the restroom? Uhh... like 3-5, I guess?
How much fruit do you eat on a given day? An ok amount, mostly because I like juice a lot.
What was the last thing that made you cringe? The “Communications Team” in the movie The Circle.
What’s your favorite ‘80s movie? Cliche, but either The Princess Bride or Breakfast Club. Oh shit, actually, Amadeus. I forgot that was an 80s movie. And A Christmas Story.
What time did you go to bed last night? 3 am because I’m in a really strange period of my life where all my classes are online and my work is freelance and I can’t really get a job because I have one lined up for August so I’d have to find something May-July inclusive which ain’t gonna happen.
Do you have your own car? No, I have access to my dad’s old car but I hate driving.
Do you own a romper? No.
Do you still speak to your ex’s parents? No. Not because I don’t want to, just because I never see them.
Who was the last person who drew you a picture? My little cousin?
When someone takes your picture, do you smile with your mouth open or closed? I prefer the way I look with my mouth closed, and that’s what I do if I take my own picture, but if someone else is taking my picture I usually open mouth smile because I can’t help it.
Do you floss? When there’s something stuck between my teeth.
What’s your favorite breakfast cereal? Rice Krispies.
How do you usually get your exercise? Lol. When I worked downtown, I walked a lot. Now... not so much. Pool will be open in a month so swimming after that.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Chocolate chip cookie dough.
Why did you break up with your last significant other? Hah.
Are any of your siblings married? Nope.
What does your phone case look like, if you have one? A blueish rubbery sleeve.
What’s something about you that the opposite sex finds attractive? ???????? ??? ???? ??? ?
What do you usually put in your omelets? I don’t like omelets. I don’t like anything where you can taste the egg period.
Have you ever tried to go vegetarian and if so, how long did you last? No. I’d actually like to, theoretically. At least cutting my meat intake back to poultry only. But practically... I mean, I don’t eat a ton of meat other than chicken/turkey anyway, maybe beef once or twice a week, but it would be tough. I’ve tried to give up pork, because I love pigs. Since my dad was having gallbladder issues I pretty much almost have, since we didn’t have it in the house. I actually ate bacon for the first time in ages the Thursday before Easter and I felt physically sick afterwards.
What kind of exotic animal do you think you could keep as a pet? I don’t know. Do pigs count as “exotic”? Because I love pigs so much, and I don’t expect one to stay unrealistically small, I love the big fat potbelly ones and full-sized farm pigs. I love elephants too.
What’s your favorite type of dog? Bedlington terrier.
What’s something you can draw really well? I’m okay at drawing horses.
What’s your favorite fast food joint? A&W or McDicks, assuming pizza places don’t count in this category.
Did you ever eat leaves when you were a kid? ...no?
What’s the largest body of water near your hometown? Lake Ontario, I suppose.
Do you have any flags in your house? Yes.
Are there any “keep off the grass” signs where you live? I’m sure somewhere.
Have you ever walked on the grass with such a sign? Yeah.
Do you like kiwis? No. Strawberry-kiwi stuff is okay.
Are you double-jointed? Nope.
At school, which area of science did you prefer, biology, chemistry or physics? Chemistry was the only one I took into the senior grades. I considered becoming a pharmacist, which I kind of wish I’d done now.
Which did you prefer between geography and history? History! I never really liked geography.
Have you ever had a main part in a play? Yup. I was Lucy in a Charlie Brown Christmas in Grade 7.
Are there any musical instruments in the room you’re in? No.
Can you name a difference between RNA and DNA? I don’t really know the difference.
Do you know anyone who owns a farm? Not super closely. I’ve met Esther the Wonder Pig’s dads. :o)
Have you ever driven a tractor? No.
Does the smell of the countryside bother you? No, I kind of like it. I rode horses as a kid so I got used to the manure smell.
Who sits behind you in English? I don’t remember the last English class I had, lol. That autobiography class, maybe? And it’s university, so everyone changed seats all the time.
When will your next kiss be? ????
What song are you listening to? I am not.
How late do you normally stay up on weekdays? Oh jeez, my sleep schedule is so messed up now that I don’t have anything to do in the mornings.
Has a friendship ended recently that you wish hadn’t? Not recently.
What did you do Saturday? Today’s Saturday. I’m supposed to go see Guardians of the Galaxy tonight.
Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level? Reasonable level, unless it’s live.
When do you prefer to take a shower, in the morning or night? Night.
What’s the next vacation you’re going on? I’m going to Boston in two weeks. I’ve never been before. I haven’t been to much of the States, just New York, Florida, California, and briefly New Jersey when we had a transfer at Newark airport. We’re supposed to go through Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York, so it should be interesting.
Can you watch scary movies? Yeah I don’t get scared by them, but they don’t really interest me either, so I don’t see many of them. I feel like I could get into really campy, genre horror, like the type this guy I know produces. I should look into it I guess.
How do you like your eggs? Wasn’t this asked previously?
Do you want any piercings? No. I’ve never had anything pierced. I went to school with mostly Italians (Catholic School) and all the girls had their ears pierced as babies because I guess it’s a cultural thing of some sort, and I got made fun of for not having my ears pierced in elementary school. Eh.
