2+3 Week 6

#2
a. My favorite childhood toy was . . .
A tie between a Mickey Mouse doll and a Big Bird puppet!
b. My favorite childhood game was . . .
"See if I can convince dad to read me this story even though it's scary and I won't sleep" or "Hide the books! HIDE THE BOOKS IT IS PAST BEDTIME!"
Alternatively, I loved hide and seek and a game my sister and I made up called "pound puppies" though I hardly remember the rules.
c. The best movie I ever saw as a kid was . . .
Monty Python's Holy Grail or the Princess Bride, or Anastasia, or Hunchback of Notre Dame, or The Little Mermaid. I was eclectic, but I think TLM may have been tops!
I named a cat Dinglehopper.

...I was not permitted to name pets after that.
d. I don’t do it much but I enjoy . . .
Sleeping in or writing drabbles or thinking of fanfic ideas, which is so nerdy. Haha!
e. If I could lighten up a little, I’d let myself . . .
Publish a lot more of my art or written work online, or do somethings outside of the box or outside my comfort zone.
f. If it weren’t too late, I’d . . .
Double major in Art/Illustration. :x
g. My favorite musical instrument is . . .
Larmonica! (..My friend Lar played the harmonica for a tiny while. It was fun. Deal with it.)
h. The amount of money I spend on treating myself to entertainment each month is . . .
About 20-30$ a month, if at all. I'm really stingy with myself and get a little more anxious over money than I probably should. Or shouldn't. I don't know.
i. If I weren’t so stingy with my artistic self, I’d buy him/her . . .
The Rapunzel doll from Disneyland with Pascal on her arm and the freckles that I really, really wanted. D: Kicking myself!
j. Taking time out for myself is . . .
Difficult to organize, but far too easy to really do sometimes. Huh.

#3
a. I am afraid that if I start dreaming . . .
I'll lose myself to all the wonderful ideas and daydreams and not be able to keep myself essentially grounded, and thus, set myself up for crushing disappointment, again.
b. I secretly enjoy reading . . .
Smut. What? We're being completely honest, and honestly? I think smut can be pretty fun. Or hysterical. Or just god-awful. It's a gambit of nonsense, and it amuses me.
c. If I had had a perfect childhood I’d have grown up to be . . .
A terribly, terribly boring person or something. I'd hardly have half the friends I do now or be the person I am, and I don't know if I'd like myself at all!
Alternatively, maybe I'd be an astronaut.. But I don't think I'd be a very happy one.
d. If it didn’t sound so crazy, I’d write or make a . . .
A lot of alarming stories and art, I'm sure, haha! I reign my muse in a lot more than I'd like too sometime, particularly when I'm in a bad mood. There are, naturally, some thoughts I don't vocalize- Because, you know, you just /don't/.
e. My parents think artists are . . .
My mother finds them very similar to herself and very relatable. She likes my art, though she makes fun of me occasionally, and I don't think my father much cares either way. It makes him smile sometimes, though, but I've never heard him talk about it without prompting. Once in a while he compliments me in front of his friends or aquantices and that's just.. Amazing. It's like finding a golden ring in a room full of bottlecaps.
f. My God thinks artists are . . .
Er- Historically, He didn't care for them much, with the banning of iconography and all, and though I hardly think I can speak for a being of such..God..liness, because it's a little unnerving to do so in any context, I suppose he'd be... Pleased.
I'd hope.
g. What makes me feel weird about this creative writing class is . . .
Exposing myself and my thoughts. Oh look, everything's out here! And everyone knows what a strange person I am. And my, aren't I certainly strange indeed. It exposes my (now poorly) concealed paranoia and worry and all these sides to myself I don't really tend to exhibit except in words.
h. Learning to trust myself is probably . . .
A good idea.
i. My most cheer-me-up music is . . .
Mary Poppins, the Musical: Anything Can Happen.
j. My favorite way to dress is . . .
Honestly? I love, love costuming and cosplaying, and dresses and skirts!
