[surveysbygracelynn]

What do you do for work? I work as a church administrator / secretary.  What would you ideally like to do for work? I don’t know. I think I’m pretty content where I am. Content enough that I’m not thinking of a way out. I almost wish I could say something like “wildlife photographer” lol  What are you doing in order to achieve this? Oh, this is going to be one of those surveys. Maybe it will keep my attention then.  What is the meaning of your life? What is it that you really live for? I don’t know what the meaning of my life is, but I really live for helping people through their day to day or their hard times. 

Have you ever REALLY thought what it means to have children? It seems to me you bring a life into this world as an attempt to keep a legacy going, usually. I always think of the across the universe thing and it’s a little true. It’s a bit narcissistic. 

Are you planning to have children anyway? Probably.  What is the most awful thing about the world today? I think the most awful thing is the growing apathy towards everything. I think we thought making fun of stoner kids who seemed disinterested would make them go away but they seem to be all of us now, whether we choose to smoke or not. 

What do you think is the worst being on the planet? Like, as an animal? I don’t know.  Have you ever been arrested? If so, what for? No.  Have you ever been in court? If so, in which role? No.  Which do you think is a more valuable being, a human or an animal? I think that humans are more valuable, if I had to choose.  What, in your opinion, will cause the end of the world? The end of the world will be probably a few generations off from mine. I feel like everyone my age is already reading into everyone’s subtext so highly. I don’t think we can mentally heal in time to heal our next generations and I think they will be so overwhelmed with trying to help us that they’ll end up going crazy.  Ok, I’ll try and get a bit more upbeat now. Thanks for those interesting questions though.  What does your mother do for work? She’s a school secretary.  ^If she’s a homemaker, any specific reason for this? “—” What about your father? What does he do? my stepdad does some sort of sales for computers in cars. I think.  How do you like your coffee? either a lil bit of milk and two sweet and lows or a bit of creamer.  If you’re of age, what’s your favourite alcoholic drink? I love fireball lemonade.  If you’re under-aged, what is your favourite soft drink? Cherry vanilla coke zero.  Do you smoke? No  ^If so, did you start when you were 18 or were you younger? ~ Did your parents approve of your smoking/alcohol use before you turned 18? I think they would have been outwardly disappointed but on some level it would have validated them.  Do you have siblings? If not, skip the next few questions. I do. 

Are you eldest, in the middle or youngest?  oldest

How big an age gap is between you and your siblings? 5 years.  Do/did your siblings cause trouble? When I was younger my sister used to fake cry a lot and get me in trouble. 

If your siblings are old enough, what do they do for work? party host at a local amusement place? (idk what you would call it)  Have you ever been jealous of your siblings?  yes

^If so, why? let’s see. prettier, has both parents still living, was the favorite for awhile... smarter.. right now she has more of a social life than I do.  Do you still live with your parent/s or do you live alone/with a partner? I live with a roommate.  What do you think about growing up? I think it sucks. I’m turning 26 but I still feel so much like a kid and I feel like I’m feeling things I should have felt when I was a kid.  What about having responsibilities? Most of the time I actually really enjoy having responsibilities. I think it’s important to be responsible for something. Do you know how to cook? Sort of. Not really.  ^If so, what’s your favourite thing to cook? I like making tacos because they are quick and yummy.  What about baking? I haven’t baked in awhile but it’s kind of on the same par as cooking. I can do some things well.  Do you ever drink tea? yeah, every now and then. Have you ever followed any of these fad diets that go around? No.  What do you usually order at your favourite restaurant? Lately I’ve been ordering quesadillas to have a second meal the next day. But I do enjoy the chicken salad that comes in a tortilla bowl.  Do you prefer a proper restaurant to a fast food place? It depends on which fast food place. Normally I say yes, just because unless you get a 4 for 4 it’s usually just as expensive if you wanna get all the sides and fixings as a proper restaraunt and you don’t get any leftovers Is there an arcade anywhere near where you live? I would guess where my sister works kind of counts as an arcade. The restaraunt I went to with Brandon and Nick’s family had an arcade in it.  ^If so, have you ever been there? Yes.  ^If you have, what’s the game/s you usually play? I enjoy skeeebball. Have you ever played pinball? I have.  ^If so, an actual machine or on a computer? Both.  Have you ever taken part in a pinball tournament? I wonder if there is anyone in my generation who is interested in that.  ^If so, what has been your highest position? -

What’s your dream vehicle? I think I’d like a jeep of some sort.  What about your dream house? I really don’t allow myself to dream of such things.  What is the biggest dream of your life? Brandon moving back here would be nice.  If you could travel to another country right now, where would you go? A beach. I need to relax. Lol.  What is a country you’d never ever visit? Uhm. I’m sure if I thought about it I could come up with something but right now there are a lot of places I do want to visit.  Are you good at taking care of your finances? Somewhat. I’m sure if I was better I would be actually saving more.  Have you ever had any trouble paying your bills? no.  What about your rent? no. What do you think is the best thing about being an adult? I think the best thing is being in charge of what you get to eat.   What about the worst? Being in charge and responsible for everything. Lol.  Is there a person in your life, who wastes their life somehow? Probably me.  ^If so, how are they wasting their life? I just feel like I am by not doing things all the time. Any time my mom or my boss ask what my big weekend plans are I feel like I’m losing out on things. Though, I’m not sure if anyone else is doing anything grandiose either.  What is something you need to do, but you keep postponing it? Read this book I bought out of peer pressure.  Do you think life should just hand things to you? I don’t think so but I think the government could afford to.  Or should you earn the things you want and need with hard work? I think that hard work does deserve a reward, maybe things you want. Not necessarily things you need.  Would you rather live off government benefits or earn your own money? I’d rather earn my own money.  When you take a survey, do you skip questions? If I don’t like a question I throw the whole survey.  ^If so, what kinds of questions? Usually questions that don’t apply or are weirdly worded.  What type of a survey do you skip altogether? themed ones, ones that are name / age / sex / favorites etc or bolded ones. Why, do you think, people write lyrics as the title for a survey? They’re usually personal?  If you have a Facebook, what do you use it for? Mostly to chat with friends. Sometimes to market my work.  If you have a Twitter, what do you use it for? To state the thoughts I feel worthy enough to share with the world.  If you have a Tumblr, what do you use it for? Mostly to track my progress.  If you have an iPhone, why? “—” If you have an iPad, why? “—” If you have the latest electronic gadgets, did you pay for them yourself? I don’t have the latest..  ^If not, then who did? “—” Do you always put your litter in a trashcan? Uh.. yes?  ^If not, why not? I don’t think I should just throw things on the ground and hope someone is going to clean it up.  When you walk/ride your bike/drive your car, are you careful? When I walk, I’m a little careless as I’m usually playing Pokemon go. When I drive I’m a lot more careful because of the accident I got into.  ^If not, why not? “—” What is the rudest thing a person could do or say to you? What’s wrong with your eye?  Have you ever been that rude to someone else? I don’t think I ever commented on someone’s outward appearance like that. But I have said some rude things about peoples internal things  Do you think your parents are proud of you and what you do with your life? I don’t know.  Which would you rather be, famous or a “nobody”? Why? I don’t really want to be famous but I guess I don’t wanna be a nobody, but if I had to choose I’d say a nobody. which is pretty close to how I feel now  Do you need to have the latest fashion in clothes and accessories? not at all. If you have a job, do you get along with your co-workers? yes. What kind of hobbies do you have? uhm. lol. Reading and writing every now and then. going for walks. Pokemon Go, I guess is a hobby.  Would anything in the whole world make you give up any of those hobbies? If someone gave me like... a million dollars to never touch pokemon go again I probably would.  Have you had/do you have any pets? I had pets. Do you even like animals? of course! If you aren’t already, would you ever get married? I plan on it.  ^If so, what for? To spend my life with the one person who never gave up on me.  If you are already married, what was the ultimate reason for the marriage? “—” As a child, did you do anything really bad? When I was younger I did a lot of questionable things. 

^If so, what was it? What were the consequences? My main consequence was talking to my pastor.  As a teenager, did you do anything really bad? Not really.  I guess being with my boyfriend in public. Or dating a youth pastor. Woops. ^If so, what was it? What were the consequences? None really.  Do you have a problem with authority? I guess.  I usually want to please the ones i view in authority and rebel against the ones I don’t respect. What’s your favourite comic strip? I used to like them all.  Is there a piece of clothing you absolutely must wear every day? Uh... no.  Has a doctor ever told you to lose weight? yes.  Have you ever been diagnosed with a lifelong disease? I think my bronchitis is recurring but come to think of it I didn’t get it this year. What is something you absolutely hate? when people don’t take accountability for their actions :)  What about something you absolutely love? not feeling like a burden on anyone :)
