I was tagged by @grey-automa. I haven’t done one of these in.. a while I think. so here goes.
were you named/named yourself after anyone?
Supposedly my name was a combination between my parents names. I don’t see it myself.
when was the last time you cried?
Last October. Death in the family.
do you have kids?
Not unless you count cats.
do you use sarcasm a lot?
A lot more than you’d would be typical of one officially diagnosed with a syndrome named after a Nazi collaborator. I do wonder if I actually have autism or if I’ve got some misdiagnosed form of ADHD.
what’s the first thing you notice about people?
Consider this as one part my own projection and one part my general observation: I think everyone’s set up with their own worlds. Everyone sees and hears what they want most of the time and says what they find amusing at that moment. Everyone’s got their bubble of knowledge that’s expanded so far that it becomes hard to empathize with when things aren’t part of their bubble or that other people aren’t aware of things in said bubble. Everybody’s simultaneously cursed with the knowledge they’ve accumulated overtime and hindered by a reluctance to accept the unknown, including that sometimes things will always be unknown even in our current age of (mis/dis)information.
So I suppose the first thing I notice is whether or not a person’s willing to participate in the discourse of the unknown or if they’re just going through the motions that’s already set for them. Which I guess is just a pretentious way of saying I notice when a person only wants to listen to their own voice or if they actually want to talk with other people and both contribute to and get something out of a dialogue.
what’s your eye colour?
kinda green I think?
any special talents?
Hyper-fixation is a blessing as well as a curse. Once I’m on a track, it’s damn near impossible to get me to off it.
Surprising people with tricks I’ve picked up from childhood exposure to theatre has been kinda fun too.
scary movies or happy endings?
The two aren’t mutually exclusive, but to not be a dick about it and get at what I think this means; depends on the mood I’m in. For most movies, I just want a feel good time, and every once in a while I’d like to explore the deeper and darker end of the pool and see what’s lurking in there. A good ending isn’t always a happy ending after all, but a good happy ending can do a world of wonders for the soul.
where were you born?
Flint. Yes, that Flint.
what are your hobbies?
drawing, tabletop gaming, video gaming, writing, diving into wiki rabbitholes
A lot of these overlap more that I’d like them to.
Occasionally I read a book, but not as much or as often as I’d like to admit. Tried to read Earthsea for a bit if anyone wants a recommendation.
have any pets?
Yes, my two beautiful cats Randy and Dunken
what sport do you play/have you played?
Not really a sports ball kind of person.
how tall are you?
gnome sized
favourite subject at school?
Funny enough, I enjoyed math and science classes more than arts and literature. Though I did have a really good writing teacher for one year in high-school that I wish I can look up and give her my thanks for changing my view on writing.
dream job?
The market for it is grim and I’m self conscious about my capabilities for it at this point, but I’ve always wanted to design some kind of official game that a lot of people would play and make their own thing with it. That or make a really cool looking animated project. Not much of a job as it’s kind of a goal I wanna do.
