(November 29, 2016 - 1:28 pm)
Ok, doing all of them. *Cracks knuckles* I got this
Favorite color?
Pink. I've liked it ever since I was a llittle girl when everyone else liked it, and I thought it would wear off, but it didn't! It's super cliche, but I like it. I feel a bit out of place with all of my friends fangirling over blue, but I'm sticking with it.
Favorite animal?
CATS. My family has three cats, and I love them so much:)
What do you want to be when you grow up?
*Plops down 500-page essay* Just kidding, just kidding. But seriously, I've thought a lot about it. It used to really bug me not knowing what would happen in the future, but I have a few ideas now. I'm going to go to college (Not sure which one yet) and major in teaching and minor in theatre. Yeah, I'll be poor. But to me, doing something you love is more important than money. Anyways, I want to have two cats and a dog, and I would really love to foster and adopt kids. I want to teach kindergarden or pre-school, and I'd like to have an after-school drama club for middle and high school.
It's going to be great.
Tell us about your best friend :)
I have a lot of them, so I just picked one. My best friend is so wildly crazy and I love hanging out with her because I can always be myself around her. We've known each other fore a super long time and we've stayed friends the whole time. I love how, like me, she gets overly excited about stuff super easily. Also, I just-I LOVE her laugh. She has a weird sense of humor and her laugh is just contagious and ITS LIKE RAINBOWS DANCING ON UNICORNS
Hobbies?
Theatre, track (although I'm not very good at it), writing, drawing, reading, filming.
Favorite season?
Fall. It's so pretty and it's when school starts up again so I can see all my friends. It's not too hot or too cold, and my birthday's in fall :).
Who's in your family?
My little brother, My dad, and my mom. Plus my three cats.
Top three favorite songs?
AKJDHFG KAJHDKJHFJ DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN MY CHILDREN
...I wrote these questions XDXDXD
I really like Wake Me Up and Little Talks, and there's this one choir that does this super emotional cover of Say Something and IT'S SO AMAZING I CAN'T EVEN
What's something about you that people don't expect?
How shy I can be. When I tell anyone I see often that I was shy, they laugh and are like, "Ha! You, shy?" But when I'm in a new place where I don't know anyone, I'm actually very shy. I usually need someone to talk to me before I can get out of my shell.
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I try to be as nice to people as I possibly can, and I stand up for my friends and support them. I'm a good listener and I don't judge people. I'm very passionate about what I believe in. My friends say that they love how goofy I am XP. On the down side, I get stressed very easily, and all the time. I also have a huge tendancy to procrastinate, and I can get very upset when people don't share the same opinion on a topic I'm passionate about. I also can be a little *coughverycough* overdramatic sometimes.
What Myers Briggs personality type are you?
ENFP! Every time I think my personality has changed, ENFP. I've never gotten a different answer, and the first time I took the test was like last year.
Sky or ocean?
The sky is sooo pretty. I always just stand there in awe of it. No matter if it's a sunny day, a storm, a starry sky, or a sunset It's always the prettiest thing ever.
Day or night?
I like day because I'm kinda scared of the dark still XD. But I'm more of a night owl than a morning person.
The last thing that gave you chills (Not because of the cold XD)
This acapella YouTuber singer, Peter Hollens. He's so amazingly talented!
Favorite books, movies, and TV series?
I love the PJ HOO series, and my top two favorite books are Give Me a Call and All Switched Up. I loved the Emily Windsnap series, and The Land Of Stories was good too. My favorite movies are Warcraft and Tangled. (As you can see, my tastes differ greatly XD). My favorite TV series is Gravity Falls, and I LOVEEE ASPEN HEIGHTS!!!

And whenever we have a sleepover, we make wierd videos of contests and later are all like "What is wrong with us?". But it's still fun . . . Ehehehehe. What is wrong with me? Well, all she eats is Hershey's chocolate, M&Ms, and pasta. And cheese pizza. I'm kinda worried about her health, she breaks her bones a lot.

. . . I think that would be a while ago, when we watched HP #4. Voldemort (oops, You-know-who) really freaked me out, and the wierdest thing? I was perfectly fine with the book. Or maybe the whole Umbridge's detention thing. That lady is evil.
Favorite books, movies, and TV series?

Uh... cat? Bluebird, maybe? Who knows.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be a teacher for grades 2 and up. Maybe a high school art teacher? I actually thought about becoming a religious sister for a while, which means I would be able to teach but live in a convent and pray more and stuff. Just a thought.
Tell us about your best friend :) (This is going to be long)
I actually don't have a single best friend- since my school is so small, we all hang out together. But I'd say my closest. friends are girls named (K) and (S).
(K) and I were born four days apart, but she got held back a year, so we're in different grades now. She is really short and I am really tall, which is funny because we are so close in age. She is dyslexic, but has the most creative mind- right now, she's writing a book called Rely on the Mind that I am editing. Sometimes, people in my class tease her, and she gets upset sometimes because of this and her sisters, who are in her class. She dances and does cheerleading, and she is the most upbeat and cheerful person. She likes Melanie Martinez, Halsey, and other music that I do. And we act super weird asround each other. She's awesome.
(S) was born 17 days before me, so we are close in age, too. She's short as well, exactly 4' 10" 3/4". She was adopted as a baby from China by (K)'s aunt, so they are cousins, and knew each other before (S) came to my school two years ago. She's sort of a fangirl (not as much as me, though). We are really similar, I think, except for the fact that she doesn't like to draw. I'm the only artsy girl in my class. (S) plays basketball, volleyball, and track, and used to play the violin, and is a great gymnast but has a problem with her knee. (Something where it pops out of socket) She is really friendly and funny, and is always fun to be around. She has a killer death stare as well.
Hobbies?
Drawing, reading, writing, playing piano, playing softball/basketball/volleyball, watching Dan and Phil, watching Sherlock and other TV shows, listening to music, getting on Cricket ;)
Favorite season?
Season 2 of Sherlock (kidding!) I'd have to say Autumn, because of the good weather, pretty scenery, and best of all, HALLOWEEN!
Who's in your family?
Me, my sister (Lavender on here), my mom, and my dad.
Top three favorite songs?
NOOOOOO I can't decide. Anything by Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, Melanie Martinez, Sia, or Halsey.
What's something about you that people don't expect?
My taste in music. It really does not seem to fit me at all, because I am not really the person who seems like they would listen to songs about death and stuff.
What Myers Briggs personality type are you?
INFP, which fits me so well.
Sky or ocean?
Sky.
Day or night?
Night! I am such a night owl, and wake up early in the morning, too. I love darkness. Once again, something that doesn't really seem to fit me.
The last thing that gave you chills (Not because of the cold XD)
Uh... I guess when my cousin and I were watching creepy halloween story videos on Youtube on Labor Day.
Favorite books, movies, and TV series?
Books: The Secret Garden, PJO/HOO
Movies: Moana, The Blind Side, The Martian, Up
TV series: Sherlock, Miraculous Ladybug, NCIS
(November 29, 2016 - 8:00 pm)
I loved your music taste.. you should listen to That Poppy. All of her songs are very generic and poppy, but it's meant to make fun of modern pop culture, and she also has a YouTube channel, which is very confusing at first, but is also meant to mock pop culture... there are a ton of theory videos on her too, and she doesn't reveal much about who she really is (although her real name is Moriah) and there's a whole lot behind it. You might hate it at first, I did, but I don't know. You might never like it. (Ex. a lyric in her song, Money is "If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?" which is obviously a joke) (Warning; some of it migjht be scary if you look into it too much.)
(November 30, 2016 - 4:09 pm)
Okay! I'll listen to her the next time I get the chance.
(December 1, 2016 - 6:50 pm)
