You know what? Let's do a survey. I haven't done one in months. *rubs hands together*

 

 Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Night owl all the way. I sleep 12am-12pm.

Would you rather read a graphic novel or a chapter book?

Both? I like graphic novels a lot, especially for light reading. But novels are just as good. In the end, it just depends on what I'm in the mood for.

Drawing or writing?

. . . Both. I like both.

What are some of your hobbies?

Writing, reading, drawing, piano, violin, vocals, soccer, baseball, and internet!

Do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled? Or do you just not do either?

I go to school (unfortunately. I'd rather not do either xD )

What's your favorite food?

Bagels, paninis, meat. But in general, I just really like food, haha.

Who is your favorite musician and musical genre? 

. . . You are so, so cruel. I'm just going to list things. My favorite genre is definitely rock, though not all my favorite bands play that; my favorites are The Beatles, David Bowie, The Punch Brothers, Queen, Lindsey Stirling, Theophany, U2, and The Head and the Heart.

Are these questions stupid?

Nope! They are very good questions for getting to know people.

1. I'm both! It's terrible! I usually end up not getting enough sleep. I prefer to be an early bird, though, the days feel longer.

2. Noooooooooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

It kinda depends? You can fit more story into a chapter book, and they usually tend to be longer (given how incredibly time-consuming it is to draw and to draw comics), but if the art is good I can spend hours over it, just staring, trying to simultaneously analyze, admire and absorb it. But verbal prompts or phrases can be really good, too...

3. Drawing? Usually? But writing puts up a good fight. A really good fight.

4. Drawing, taking photos that I'll hopefully get around to drawing someday, collecting sea glass (oh no my secret has been revealed, lol I did it to myself you're so weird yes I am, also I'm talking to myself, do I need another AE to be saying these words), reading webcomics, reading books, writing (sort of), walking in the woods (very slowly), contemplating life and the intricacies of people, imagining myself in semi-random situations, introspection, petting/playing with/cooing over/annoying my cats, watching YouTube, identifying plants and looking for ones I don't know, constructing the most beautiful of things in all possible mediums, singing, manipulating my emotions, thinking up more pleasurable alternatives to doing whatever I'm supposed to be doing

5. I go to an extremely tiny school that has approximately 30 students. And it is still difficult to organize anything.

6. *doesn't have a uniform but wears T-shirts and jeans like they are one*

7. Don't have one. Too many. Mostly plain perishables, like fruit, meat and baked goods. Now that I think about it, is there any food that isn't a perishable? Besides Twinkies? Anyway, nothing bitter or spicy or with sauce. I am weird, yes.

8. Noooooooooooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I prefer an eclectic mixture of pop, rock, alternative and other genres, but mostly stuff I can sing/hum along to.

9. Nope!

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Early Bird! I hate staying up late.

Definately a chapter book. I rarely read graphic novels. 

Drawing or writing?

I dont know.. both, I guess 

What are some of your hobbies?

Reading, Writing, biking 

Do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled? Or do you just not do either?

I go to school 

Do you hate wearing your uniform? (skip if you don't go to school and/or don't wear a uniform) 

I have a uniform and I actually dont mind that much because it saves me the stress of finding something to wear every day. 

What's your favorite food?

Why?? I guess I might say sushi. 

Who is your favorite musician and musical genre?

 Urggg.... I dont know. I really like rock and pop.

LES GO!

Are you an early bird or a night owl? NIGHT OWL ALL THE WAY (once I stayed up until my dad got up to go to work, which is around 4:45)

Would you rather read a graphic novel or a chapter book? GRAPHIC NOVELS YISS (I enjoy graphic novels more because I like to see how other people's art styles compare to my own.)

Drawing or writing? Ehehe...Both?

What are some of your hobbies? Drawing, Writing (you can see why I was confused on that last question) Reading, did I mention drawing?

Do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled? Or do you just not do either? I go to school.

Do you hate wearing your uniform? (skip if you don't go to school and/or don't wear a uniform) I just got out of a semi-uniform-policy school, which means we have to wear specific colors but not specific clothes.  No one at that school liked the dress code because it was so boring. (White, grey, khaki, blue)

What's your favorite food? Chocolate and gyoza.

Who is your favorite musician and musical genre? Musician?  I'm not sure.  My favorite band is Imagine Dragons, and my favorite solo artists are Jordan Sweeto and Cosmo Sheldrake.  My favorite musical genre would be either alternative rock or rock-pop.

Are these questions stupid? NEVER

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Something of both. I love mornings but can never wake up in order to enjoy them.

Would you rather read a graphic novel or a chapter book?

I guess I'd have to say the latter. Both are lovely, but I've never come across a graphic novel that stuck with me the same way my favorite chapter books have. 

Drawing or writing?

Ahh, that's impossible for me to pick! I love both equally but writing is more of my "Thing" if that makes sense.

What are some of your hobbies?

I write, draw, dance (ballet and contemporary), play the violin, and sing show tunes (especially in the shower).

Do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled? Or do you just not do either?

I go to school. I just finished eighth grade, so next year I'll in high school, which I'm really excited for!

Do you hate wearing your uniform? (skip if you don't go to school and/or don't wear a uniform) 

I don't have a uniform. In fact, my school barely has a dress code...  

What's your favorite food?

I love too many kinds of food to pick one favorite. Though at present, I am really craving some Ethiopian food.

Who is your favorite musician and musical genre?

Yikes, another hard one! Some artists I love are Halsey, Marina and the Diamonds, John Bellion, Birdy, and Billie Eilish. My general vibe is alternative and feel-good pop.

Are these questions stupid?

Not at all!

Early bird. It's currently 6:30 am.

Chapter book.

I'm homeshooled.

I was in an AHG troop since I was five (I quit this year) and I didn't hate my uniform that much.

Probably sushi at the moment.

I don't really have a favorite genre, but my favorite musician(s) are They Might Be Giants.

Hahahaha! No.

Oh, I just skipped several questions. Excuse me:

Mmmm... Drawing? I can't decide...

I like sculpting (polymer), filming/cinematography, and reading. Can reading count as a hobby? Wait: can the chatterbox count as a hobby?!

Hmm... questions, questions...

(June 11, 2018 - 11:29 am)

Mainly stupid little videos, but this summer I'm making a solid film (probably about 20 min. long). Come to think of it, I should be writing a script right now...

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Night owl, most definitely. I’ll go to bed at 12 or 1 am and sleep for 15 hours. (It’s happened before lol) Although sometimes I wish I were an early bird because mornings can be beautiful. 

Would you rather read a graphic novel or a chapter book?

Well I love Marvel comics and Calvin and Hobbes and Tintin and all that, but novels are a really good relaxation method for me, so I’d have to say both 

Drawing or writing?

I like both, to be honest. I like to draw stuff off of what I write and write stuff off of what I draw. 

What are some of your hobbies? 

Singing, playing my basses, drawing, writing, reading, running, dancing, going to the gym, youth group, thrifting, trying tea 

Do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled? Or do you just not do either?

I go to a public high school which can be pretty bad sometimes, but I love my friends so I wouldn’t want to be homeschooled 

What's your favorite food?

I love Japanese food (being Japanese lol), but I also like pizza and kale

Who is your favorite musician and musical genre? 

I have too many to count. I love jazz from a lot of eras, I love classic rock, I love movie soundtracks, I love Bach, and I love indie/indielectronica/ alternative. Some of my favourite bands from any genres include Fleetwood Mac, Frank Sinatra, the Sweet, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Prince, Queen, Kauf, Oh Wonder, Electric Light Orchestra, Bach, Brave Soundtrack lol, James Bond soundtrack, Leonard Cohen, Eric Whitacre, Marvin Gaye, U2, AHHHHHHHH

Are these questions stupid?

Not at all!! ^^

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

More of a night owl than an early bird, honestly. 

Would you rather read a graphic novel or a chapter book?

Hm, tough. I really like them both, but I think I'd rather read a chapter book, as they're much more immersive. 

Drawing or writing?

Writing! I love it so much! 

What are some of your hobbies?

Moviemaking, training animals, writing, researching animals, Kyngdomer-ing.

Do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled? Or do you just not do either?

I'm homeschooled currently, but I was public-schooled until fourth grade. And next year, I'll be going to a private school and I'm SO EXCITED! 

Do you hate wearing your uniform? (skip if you don't go to school and/or don't wear a uniform) 

Well, one of my elementary schools had uniforms and I loved them. My new school has uniforms, too. I'm not sure how I'll feel now that I'm older, but I think it's safe to say I probably won't hate wearing them.

What's your favorite food?

Spaghetti. Sushi-related food (but not with raw components). Pizza. Salad.

Who is your favorite musician and musical genre?

Um. Well. I don't exactly have a favorite genre--I like 80s songs, Cake-style songs, fantasy/mideval music...

My favorite musician would be BrunuhVille, I guess. He makes fantasy music and his songs make great writing soundtracks!

Are these questions stupid? No; they're really well thought-out!

Would you rather read a graphic novel or a chapter book? Chapter book! 

Drawing or writing? Writing! I... can't draw.

What are some of your hobbies? Knitting, reading, writing, ballet, um, that's all I can think of right now.

Do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled? Or do you just not do either? I'm homeschooled, and have been my whole life. 

What's your favorite food? Guac and corn chips and anything spicy!!!!

Who is your favorite musician and musical genre? I can't choose. You can't make me. But my favorite genre is either soundtrack (yes, it is a genre, technically), pop, or epic music (also a technical genre).

Are these questions stupid? No!
