I thought this was an interesting survey-type thing I stumbled upon, so I decided to fill it out. If you don't really care about listening to me talk about myself I'd just skip this post. It's supposed to help you figure out a little about yourself. I'll try to be both honest and amusing, for both our sakes.
How do you really feel about what you are doing right now at this exact moment?
Honestly (well, we're off to a good start) I love blogging, I love writing and hearing that people like reading this blog, as stupid as it is. I feel proud of sticking with this for so long, as lame as that sounds.
What is your fondest childhood memory? Who was there? What was going on?
I remember a lot of little things from my childhood, I don't think I can pinpoint anything specific.
How comfortable are you in your home?
Very. I love both my house and my dorm room. My roommates are awesome and my family's chill.
How comfortable are you in your town/city? State?
As comfortable as is expected? I dunno?
What kind of weather do you like?
Middle-seasons, fall and spring, weather. When I can wear jeans and a tshirt, maybe a hoodie, and be set.
Do you believe you can have your cake and eat it, too? Why or why not?
Metaphorically speaking, I think it depends on the situation. Literally speaking, if you have your cake, why wouldn't you eat it?
What is one quality about your parent(s) that you really loved?
Hm, my mom was really critical to inspiring my artistic abilities, and my dad was kind of just always on my side.
What is one quality about your parent(s) that you really do not like?
They freak out at me quite frequently for no apparent reason.
Do you like what you are doing for money?
Yeah, I love working with kids (and sometimes crafting things)
What do you feel is your greatest skill?
Ugh, I just got asked this on formspring and have no idea. I'm not really outstanding at anything. I mean, I'm okay working with people I guess? But nothing special
What do you feel is your greatest personality trait?
I think I'm pretty approachable? Maybe?
Do you feel like anything in your life is holding you back from ultimate joy? List everything.
Fear.
Write a paragraph or two about your ideal weekend/time away from work. Include location, sights, smells, food, activities, and people.
My ideal weekend (with unlimited funding of course) would probably involve a trip with my friends to either Florida to the Wizarding World of HP, Utah for stargazing, or just Cape May or something for just a relaxing weekend that no one has anything to worry about and can just enjoy the weekend.
How close are you in proximity to the people you absolutely adore the most?
Most of the people I adore are under 30 minutes away from me on a daily basis. But some are upwards of 2 hours.
What do you want out of life?
Now that's the million dollar question, isn't it. I honestly, would just like to live happily, whatever that means at the time, working a solid job with a place to interior design the shit out of and call my own (or whomever is added to 'me') just living in the moment.
How do you think people will remember you, when you die?
Quite frankly I think few will, other than 'that chick who always pops up in my facebook news feed'
How do you want people to remember you, when you die?
Depends on what I do, I guess. Overall it'd be nice if people remembered me as a pretty cool kid, whose company they enjoyed.
Write your epitaph - the sentence you would want to appear on your grave.
'Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.'
How do you feel about your home furnishings?
Um, what? I mean, I didn't pick 'em but they're whatever.
Do you have a hobby that you like to do but you don’t get paid for? What is it?
Crafting, but sometimes I guess I get paid for it. I also love writing and reading.
Does money hold you back from anything? What does it hold you back from? Be very specific.
I don't like discussing money. Sorry.
What do you think of passionate people?
I have a deep set respect for people who are passionate about what they do, whatever that might be. I guess I also feel a bit jealous that passionate people always seem so sure of themselves where as the rest of us stumble around trying to figure out what we're doing.
Do you know anyone who you feel is living their dream? Who? What do they do all day and night? Be very specific.
Yes. They are one of those passionate people we just discussed. And they sacrifice everything to work toward that dream. And they're great at it. (I know that was the opposite of specific, but I don't want to go into any greater detail)
Do you think you can be completely satisfied living where you do right now?
As long as I can get a teaching job, I'd live where I am now (not with my parents of course, I'd move to my own place)
What do you want to accomplish?
I can honestly say I do not know.
Do you want to change your career?
I've barely skimmed the surface of my career.
Do you wish you lived closer to a certain someone or group of people?
When at school, I wish my home friends were closer, when at home I wish my school friends were closer.
Do you wish you lived in a foreign country or a far away state?
Sometimes.
What are three things that you do everyday that make you totally happy?
Talk to my friends, the other two vary from day to day.
What do you want to pass on to your children?
Good genes.
What is something you have never tried but would like to?
**See my bucket list post**
Are there things in life you wish you could reverse or make right?
I wish I could fix everything that's wrong with our world, from global warming to our failing school systems.
Do you feel like you have enough money to live the way you want to?
Again, I don't like to talk about money.
Are you happy when you think about the upcoming day and all that it comes with?
In general? Or, like, tomorrow. Generally I have a positive outlook about the future in general, unless something horrible is happening then. Literally tomorrow, I am very happy about because I will (hopefully) have some sand between mah toes and some time to practice my water bending.
What do you find challenging?
Dancing, being patient, drawing anything well, first person shooter games, not caring, being absent, art in general.
What do you find thrilling?
Roller coasters, adventures, going over those hills in a car where your stomach drops, being completely alone in a new situation.
What are three memories you haven’t yet created but you would like to?
1. Graduating college.
2. Getting my first job.
3. ???
Do you feel energized when you work?
Yeah, if it's after like 10am.
Do you feel creative when you work?
Always.
Describe what you consider work, and what you consider play. What are the differences?
Work is something that needs to get done, but might not be enjoyable. Play is something that you chose when, where, and how you do it.
Do you feel blessed or lucky to wake up each day? How can you get to that point?
I try to. I really should make more of an effort to though, because I'm incredible lucky and don't spend enough time and energy appreciate all the people I have and the opportunities I've been given.
If all of your debt was forgiven tomorrow, and you had a completely clean slate, what is the very FIRST thing you would change about your life?
That, dear survey, is a great question. I'm quite stumped. I guess I'll be shallow and say appearance.
Where are three places you have always thought about living but never did?
1. New York City
2. England
3. Santa Monica, California
When do you want to retire?
When I'm good and ready. And financially set.
Is there an award or accolade you have always dreamed of winning or being recognized for?
I mean, I've really never received any awards of note, but I always wished I would have gotten some kind of superlative. But alas, I was not 'green' enough.
If you could learn how and money was not an issue, is there anything else you would do for work besides what you are doing now? Be specific.
God, there are so many things I'd love to do. Fashion designer, costume designer, wedding planner, interior designer, Imagineer, owner of a hip, member of the Haus of Gaga, trendy cafe or boutique, ComicCon artist, rock star....
List three things you would immediately change about your work day if you were the boss (assumes you are not the boss).
1. start later, end earlier
2. wawa for lunch
3. lazer tag everyday
What can I say? I work at a summer camp, there's not a whole lot of practical things to complain about.
What are three things you would start doing on the weekends if money were not an issue?
1. Traveling (Utah, Cape May, New Zealand, England, Australia, California, Texas)
2. Questing (not the same as traveling!)
3. ???
Imagine it is a big holiday and you are with your loved ones and you are living what you truly love. When they ask what you have been doing, what do you say in reply?
Really I'm just trying to make the most of my summer while I can. I'm working at camp all day, which is kind of a pain just because I come home so beat, but I've gotten used to it and as much as I complain, I love it. Besides that I can't wait to get back to school and see all my friends, but at the same time I'm having a blast catching up with everyone from home. Basically, I'm carpe-ing the die(h)m as much as I can for as long as I can. And I suggest you all do the same.
Peace out cub scouts!
ps: Did we like this? Do we never want to hear the innermost workings of my brain again? Was this boring?
