I suppose I'll begin to bottom the thread!
1. How are you doing today?
I'm doing pretty good. I should be writing my Ski Lodge right now, but I promise I'll get it done. Eventually.
2. What is your second favorite subject in school?
Humanities! First is history :)
3. Do you believe that aliens exist?
The odds are that they do, but I'm not completely sure. Either way, as long as they leave us alone we should be fine.
4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?
I've always been partial to the macaroni penguin, both because of the name and also because they look so funny (in a good way!)
5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?
A frisbee (I'm in gym class right now)
6. What is the book nearest to you?
I'm outside right now, so I don't quite know. Hmm, whoever wrote these questions should've taken that into account.
7. What was the last movie you watched?
Across the Spiderverse!! It was so good!! Everyone who hasn't seen it should!!
8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)
It's a penguin (hence the earlier question). It's kept my bird related school mascot streak going (first an eagle, then a hawk), but it's not as cool. Plus it means our school colors are black and white, which is a little boring.
9. What is your least favorite color?
That awful shade of puke green. Ew.
10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?
6:30 is when my alarm goes off, but I usually get up around 7 to take the bus.
11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months?
Favorite is May (my birthday month!), least favorite is February (abysmal, dreary, etc).
12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas Jefferson). Which president is it?
It was my friend who is 16 years old, which equates to Abraham Lincoln!
13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?
Polar bear for sure. Although the crocodile does have a scale shield thing going on.
14. What’s your favorite flower?
Daisies!!
15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?
Since I've been learning about it a lot in Latin, probably the ancient Roman empire. It's super interesting
(June 5, 2023 - 10:27 am)
(June 5, 2023 - 12:17 pm)
1. How are you doing today? Good, but rather annoyed that my music notation software only lets me notate music to a point and that I am supposed to notate a song that is pretty unfamiliar to me.
2. What is your second favorite subject in school? Physics. It is second after math.
3. Do you believe that aliens exist? Somewhere in the universe, they do. However, whether or not we could contact them in a reasonable amount of time is questionable. I won't go into that right now.
4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)? Emperor penguin for sure.
5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at? A box marked "CELEBRATE!" in Arial font.
6. What is the book nearest to you? Biology for the Logic Stage Teacher Guide by Paige Hudson.
7. What was the last movie you watched? Kiki's Delivery service, created by Studio Ghibli.
8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?) Eagle. I think eagle is super BORING because that is the mascot of virtually each and every elementary school. I nominated dolphin, which got in second place, but apparently more people liked to be boring and go with eagle.
9. What is your least favorite color? Hmmm... that's a hard one. Probably light yellow, because it looks like plaque (and I mean tooth plaque).
10. What time do you usually get up in the morning? 6:30 am. Yes, I am an early riser.
11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months? Favorite? April. Least favorite? July.
12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas Jefferson). Which president is it? Their age is greater than the order of the current president, and we can't predict the future.
13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win? Depends on where. In the north pole, Polar Bear would win. In a swamp, probably the saltwater crocodile. IN the jungle, definitely the tiger.
14. What’s your favorite flower? The yellow-orange tri-thorn. (I added the common name.)
15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where? I would go back probably to whenever typewriters existed. Then I could buy a cheap one and bring it to the present so that I can write when it isn't my screen time.
(June 5, 2023 - 12:46 pm)
WHY DON'T YOU LIKE JULY?????. It's soooo warm.
(June 6, 2023 - 6:09 am)

hot pink. *shivers in disgust*
10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?
around 9, but usually whenever I feel like it. so occasionaly right before lunch.

James Carter? idk

I'm rooting for the croc :)
14. What’s your favorite flower?
snapdragons! they're so interesting to mess around with, and their name is awesome :D
15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?
maybe back in the time of Vikings, and somewhere in Vineland or Flat-Stone Land (the places Vikings landed in America)
(June 5, 2023 - 1:23 pm)

To be honest...not great. There's less than three weeks left of school and I just want to be doneeee. I also have a terrible headache, and it is WAY too hot where I live, so that's not helping. Plus my ski lodge keeps looking at me, like it wants me to...write it?? what a ridiculous request.

Arranged, a movie about a Jewish girl and a Muslim girl whose families are trying to arrange a marriage for each of them. It was very good :)
8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)

(June 5, 2023 - 6:12 pm)
Cool idea, Silver Crystal!
1.) I'm doing pretty good, thanks for asking! Just trying to get the most out of my summer break :)
2.) Probably math or science.
3.) I would love to believe that they exist, but my pessimistic mindset says we are alone in the universe. Maybe there is some evolved form of bacteria or plants in another planet though, who knows? We can hope!
4.) Magellanic penguins! They're so cute!
5.) Clorox wipes.
6.) The Inheritence Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. You guys should read it, it's a great book/series!
7.) Searching, (the 2018 film). It's rated PG-13 for reference.
8.) My school mascot is a knight and I'm personally indifferent to it. It's pretty basic, but who's complaining? simple >>>>
9.) neon/hot pink. it just narrowly beats out neon yellow.

(June 5, 2023 - 8:18 pm)
1. How are you doing today?
Okay—school's gearing up to end next week. Today, I rode a goldfish down a hill and abducted a dinosaur (not at the same time).
2. What is your second favorite subject in school?
Ummmm probably science or DE (design engineering; basically just time to build things but we also have to do nasty PrOdOtYpInG InNoVaTiNg ReFlEcTiNg stuff ick)
3. Do you believe that aliens exist?
Probably—but not in the form of random green mars men.
4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?
ROCKHOPPER PENGUINS. LOOK THEM UP—I WOULD DIE FOR THOSE EYEBROWS.
5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?
Well, if we're being technical, air and the molecules that make it up—but if we're not, then a cabinet.
6. What is the book nearest to you?
The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. Don't read it—it makes no sense, and not in a good way.
7. What was the last movie you watched?
The Matrix. I will rant about the ending if anyone's interested.
8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)
We're the MaVeRiCkS lol. Horrible mascot—but better than something generic like the gators or tigers.
9. What is your least favorite color?
Puke colors like puke green, puke yellow, or puke brown, then neon colors but especially pink, green, and yellow, then different muted ooblecky shades of colors, then—I'll stop now.
10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?
I get up at around 7:00 but it takes me a while after that to wake up, unfortunately.
11. What’s your favorite and least favorite months?
The best month is obviously February—cold enough to be nice but no school winter breaks which are always really boring.
12. Think of the last person you talked to in person. Take their age and find the president that was that number (ex. 3 would be Thomas Jefferson). Which president is it?
Umm—probably my dad, so THERE HASN'T BEEN THAT MANY PRESIDENTS YET OOPS

Me.
14. What’s your favorite flower?
Plumerias.
15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?
Assuming basic safety measures are built into this time travel device, and I won't set off the butterfly affect too badly, and all the other basic concerns are taken care of, probably ancient Egypt—or the start of time.
(June 6, 2023 - 12:13 am)
1. How are you doing today?
Fine. Although it's 7:40 in the morning, which is far too early to be at school.
2. What is your second favorite subject in school?
Math.
3. Do you believe that aliens exist?
Absolutely. We just might not run into any for a good long time.
4. Best kind of penguin (in your opinion)?
Little blues. :D
5. Close your eyes and randomly point to something. Open your eyes. What are you pointing at?
A classmate of mine, who happens to be one of the biggest bullies in my year and is also in my homeroom.
6. What is the book nearest to you?
Romeo & Juliet, by William Shakespeare (Folger Shakespeare Library Updated Edition).
7. What was the last movie you watched?
Avengers Endgame.
8. What’s your school mascot and how do you feel about it? (If you don’t have one, what do you wish it could be?)
It's a "rev," which I think is short for "revolution" or "revolutionaries" but nobody is sure. It's a terrible mascot.
9. What is your least favorite color?
Pink. Although some shades of it are okay.
10. What time do you usually get up in the morning?
5:55, although my preferred wakeup time is 10:00.

James Buchanan Jr.
13. If a tiger, a polar bear, and a saltwater crocodile got into a fight, who would win?
It really depends on where the fight takes place.
14. What’s your favorite flower?
I'm partial to the corpse flower.
15. If you could go back in time to any time period, when and where?
I wouldn't. I'm trans, I'm gay, and I was assigned female at birth. In pretty much any past time period, that's just about the best combination if you want to have absolutely no civil rights. Also they had pretty terrible hygene and medical care. But I think it would be fun to go faaaaarrr into the future and see where we are at then.
