*bounces excitedly* I love when people do ask memes! Yay! From this thing!
35. Would you rather live without TV or music?
Um…is ‘neither’ an option? But seriously I’d probably say TV, on the stipulation that I could keep books, music, movies, and all other not-made-for-TV media. My ADHD ass needs distractions, I would maybe go clinically insane stuck in my own brain without lots of audiovisual input.
36. Have you ever liked someone and never told them?
Honey, look, it you hand me someone grandstanding about how gay people are going to hell, or someone getting into a girl’s space without permission, or someone messing with someone based on their religion, and I am the ballsiest person this side of the Prime Meridian. That being said, I don’t tell people when I have crushes on them. This is helped by the fact that I’m a professional at emotional control and therefore generally don’t notice a crush as anything other than above-average levels of rambling until something drastic happens.
37. What do you say during awkward silences?
Depends. If I know the person well, I’ll come up with something truly bizarre like “Did you know that John Quincy Adams kept a pet alligator in his house during his presidency” or “Some people have a third set of false ribs in addition to the two that are standard issue” or “You are 50% genetically identical to a banana.” If it’s someone I don’t know or don’t trust not to mock me for being weird, I try to acquire some inner Zen and keep my mouth shut.
38. Describe your dream girl/guy?
Well, I’m flexible on the gender thing, but honestly? Someone who’s a bit of an asshole. Not someone mean or whatever, someone who’s enough of a dick to think that, for example, my jokes are funny, not just bitter. Someone with enough of a backbone to bicker with me, because it freaks me out when people are 100% acquiescent all the time. Someone with a good sense of humor and a nice laugh and appreciation for black humor, because I’m a cynic. Someone who understands that it’s not personal if I need a few hours to myself, who won’t fucking flip out on me if I say “this is a medical emergency and you are not bleeding out so frankly you’re not my priority right now.” Someone who’s willing to listen to me make commentary on my favorite movies, and willing to put up with my periodic episodes of sensory overload or food issues. Someone who shows actual interest in me physically and mentally but is still willing to stop if I seem uncomfortable, which I guess…is a pretty low bar, on further reflection. Oh well.
