shade184In which I steal a meme from umbravita.
A
- Available: I'm single, if that's what you mean, but incredibly picky and not really interested in what most people would call a "normal" relationship.Casual sex would be okay though.
- Age: 20
- Annoyance: People who can't just live and let live. So what if someone is different to you? Does that freaking affect you in any way whatsoever? Does it give you any right to mock or oppress them? No and no. Shut the fuck up.
- Allergic: Nothing that I'm aware of.
- Animal: Rats and parrots.
- Actor: Emma Stone and ScarJo are gorgeous.
B
- Beer: Love it.
- Birthday/Birthplace: A tiny little mining town called Moranbah. No, I've never heard of it either.
- Best Friends:umbravita, 'cause we somehow manage to simultaneously drive each other round the bend yet still be awesome at the end of the day, and Chloe.
- Body Part on opposite sex: Face, hips, shoulders/collarbone.
- Best feeling in the world: Relief, whether from pain or a nasty situationor the buildup to an orgasm or whatever.
- Blind or Deaf: I'm so dependent on music that I'm this close to saying blind, but logically, deafness would be easier to manage, and it's easier to treat, too.
- Best weather: Cold, stormy, rainy.
- Been in Love: No.
- Been bitched out: Used to be all the time, until I started avoiding people.
- Been on stage: Yep.
- Believe in yourself: Yep! I might have horrible issues with self-love, but at least I acknowledge my capabilities.
- Believe in life on other planets: Leaving inumbravita's response:
"Yep. There are millions, if not billions, of planets alone in our galaxy, and god knows how many galaxies. You cannot tell me that we are the only planet ever ever ever to have life. Right now, though, we don't have the technology or the ability to prove it, and maybe that's for the best.
After all, just look at what happened to the native populations of certain places when white people started exploring."
- Believe in miracles: Nope. Some coincidences are really lucky, but I don't believed they're influenced by any sort of outside influence.
- Believe in Magic: No.
- Believe in God: No.
- Believe in Satan: Satan is just a representation of temptation and only during the Christian Dark Ages was he assigned any sort of supernatural power. It pisses me off when people depict him as an actual "force" of evil.
That said, no.
- Believe in Santa: I'm fucking his wife.
- Believe in ghosts/spirits: No.
- Believe in Evolution: I'll steal my friend Ark's response to this:
"This is not a fucking belief. Fuck, people. This is one of the most complex, excellent theories in science, broadly accepted by the scientific community (if you don't accept it as a scientist then others are likely to question your credibility); there are fucktons of evidence towards it on small and large scales. Darwin was a fucking genius, perhaps a man with one of the greatest insights of all scientists. And just because you don't understand it doesn't make it wrong!"
Andumbravita responded to this with a quote, which I shall also include:
"The good thing about science is that it's real whether you believe in it or not." - Neil deGrasse Tyson.
C
- Car: As long as it fucking runs, I'm happy for now.
- Candy: Lollipops are great.
- Colour: I love royal purple.
- Cried in school: Once or twice, yeah.
- Chocolate/Vanilla: Both! Mixed together!
- Chinese/Mexican: Assuming we're talking about food? Chinese.
- Cake or pie: Cake.
- Countries to visit: I want to move to Canada, gonna stop off for a little while in the US to visit some friends, and I want to go backpacking in Italy.
D
- Day or Night: I prefer night, but I can get more done during the day. So, both?
- Dream vehicle: I would like a TARDIS, thank you very much.
- Danced: I'm shit at your regular club/party/etc dancing, but I love jazz and ballroom dancing! Need to go back to taking classes.
- Dance in the rain: Should try it sometime.
- Dance in the middle of the street: Nope.
- Do the splits: Fuck no. XD
E
- Eggs: OMELETTES. <3
- Eyes: Mine are a really dull blue.
- Everyone has: Prejudices.
- Ever failed a class: Yep.
F
- First crush: Don't even remember.
- Full name: I don't like my second or last names. Just call me Joseph and we'll be fine.
- First thoughts waking up: UGH WHAT TIME IS IT
- Food: I love omelettes, they're so versatile.
G
- Greatest Fear: Not being good enough, being powerless.
- Giver or taker: In some cases, I've been known to give to the point of my own detriment, and in others I've been known to take to the detriment of others. Need to learn to balance. Will be easier once I'm living on my own.
- Goals: Get a place of my own, get a high-paying job, move to Canada, try to live stably for a while. Get my adopted "sister" out of her horrible home situation. Backpack in Italy. Visit some of my overseas friends whom I'm close to.
- Gum: I like 5 brand.
- Get along with your parents: ahahahahahahahaha no
- Good luck charms: Gonna leave in a shortened part ofumbravita's response:
"Are placebos at worst (and that's a bad thing why?)."
Just as long as people don't actually count on the charms alone to do their work for them.
H
- Hair Color: Dark brown.
- Height: 5'9", or 175cm.
- Happy: Yes in ways that people wouldn't expect, and no in others of the same.
- Holidays: I haven't celebrated Christmas or Easter since 2004, courtesy of my idiot parents.
- How do you want to die: Painlessly.
- Health freak: I probably would be if I wasn't too depressed and poor to do anything about it.
- Hate: Cruelty and bigotry.
I
-In other people:
-- Eye colour: Irrelevant.
-- Hair Colour: Irrelevant.
-- Height: Irrelevant.
-- Clothing Style: Well, I rather have a weakness for off-the-shoulder tops, boots, scarves, tube tops, vests (also tube tops WITH vests), and hoodies.
-- Characteristics: Not too concerned with physical traits, as you may have noticed. Don't care about height or weight or physical features or whatever as much as I do about personality. Kindness, intelligence, and passion are my three main criteria. I want to be with someone who is not a douche, who can stimulate me mentally, and who is self-driven. Geekiness is of course there for major brownie points. :D
- Ice Cream: I like cookie dough flavour.
- Instrument: Slowly, oh-so-slowly, teaching myself guitar. (Slow because lazy.) I want to also learn piano, bass guitar, and drums.
J

L
- Longest Car Ride: Helidon to Rockhampton. Nasty, it was.

"My ideas of love and sex are so different from society's. I'm cynical, and a free spirit, and I don't like being tied down and I'm kind of scared of people, and I'm okay with polyamory or my significant other seeing other people as long as we lay down ground rules and communicate."
- Letter: I like J. It swooshes and then goes straight. It's got attitude.
- Laughed so hard you cried: All the time.

N

- Radio Station: Used to listen to 'em a lot.
- Roll your tongue in a circle: Yep.
S

Unless you wanted an actual piece of music, in which case just listen to this to make everything beautiful and nothing hurt.
- Shoe size: 11 mens, if I'm not wrong.
- Sushi: Never had it.
- Skipped school: Once or twice.
- Slept outside: Once I slept on the trampoline, it was lovely and cool and quiet.

- Swear?: ahahahhahahahahahaha yes
- Stuffed Animals: I have one, a blue teddy bear which I've had since a couple of days after I was born.

T
- Time for bed: I try to make it around 10PM, when my mental state can handle it.

W

- When you grow up: I want to be nothing like my parents.

- Who makes you laugh the most: My beloved friends.
- Worst feeling: Helplessness, and also niggling little things, itches (physical/mental/emotional) that you can't scratch.
- Wanted to be a model: hell to the motherfucking no
- Where do we go when we die: Fucked if I know.

X
- X-Rays: Never had one.
Y
-Year it is now: 2012.
-Yellow: Very bright and cheerful.
Z
- Zoo animal: Story time - when I was 12 or so, I went to a zoo in Rockhampton where they did lorikeet feeding. They'd hand out trays of fruit for you to hold, and the lorikeets that lived in the trees around that area would fly down and sit on the trays and eat it. They'd perch on your arms and head and crowd the fuck out of the trays. Beautiful birds, albeit fucking loud.
