The Question Game

I would be Allie from The Notebook....come on I'm a girl, do I really need to explain that one? either that or Hermione from Harry Potter, once again rather self explanatory. =)


What is your ringtone? (or if you have multiple ones?)

I always leave my phone on vibrate, so I don't really have one. If I really wanted to go buy a ringtone I'd probably get New Slang or another shins song.

What quality/characteristic annoys you most in other people?

Ignorance. Not really all ignorant people, but the ones who are ignorant and pretend not to be. Or just think they know everything.

What quality/characteristic do you most like in other people?

My favorite historical person is definitely Bismarck. His ability to take advantage of the situation at any given time is a quality I admire!

If you had to call only ONE person before you went on an lifelong adventure to a deserted island, who would it be? (I replaced "before you died" with this example because I thought it was too somber)

My best friend. She would be the most encouraging and enthusiastic, and would understand why I was going in the first place (and wouldn't hate me for leaving everyone! )

Okay this is two questions but I think they're relevant:
What is your biggest aspiration regarding governor's school? In other words, what do you hope to accomplish/learn?
What is your biggest fear about it?

I want to make great art.
I fear feeling out of the loop and missing the full experience.

If you knew that the contents of your room where going to revealed to the world (including your parents), would you remove anything to prevent its discovery? If so, what?

hahahah thats a good one!! i'd probably go digging for any weird drawings i ever did that might...freak people out. lol. along with a journal my friend and i wrote in about.....well.... yeah.

if you were a ghost, who would you haunt?

My mom, because I frequently tease her about her unwavering beliefs regarding the supernatural. And a girl from my school that could really use a good haunting, hahaha

If you had the chance to say something to someone with no consequences, what would you say, to who, and why?

I would tell my mom exactly where she can shove her healthy diet food. I want some freakin calories in my house for once!!! haha


How is your room decorated? Does it represent you?

My room is painted light green and has a little kid jungle border both of which have been there since i was really little, so that's not really representative of me. But i have a The Office calender on my wall, a swiss flag (random), some of my numbers from running, and a cork board. So really its pretty random and not really extremely representative of me.

What song lyric inspires the most emotion in you, what emotion, and why?

I know i JUST answered one but this one excites me so I'm going to go ahead and go again

" I am the one who held you, I am the one who cried. I am the one who watched while you died. I am the one who loved you. I tried pretending that I don't give a d*mn but you've always known who I am."

Its from Next to Normal. I don't know why I love it so much but it gives me chills. The story behind it is hard to explain but its AMAZING!! Mix in the voices and....yes please


Who was your first love? (real or celebrity)

I don't think I've really fallen in love yet. But my first crush was a boy named Justin. We were in different classes in second grade, but I saw his artwork in the hall and developed the biggest crush ever. He was super quiet and socially challenged, but that boy had a God sent gift for art. I had an obsessive crush all the way up until 4th grade when my senses came crashing back to me; I realized that any relationship with a boy who couldn't hold a conversation for beans was useless and silly. The end.

If you were sent to Hell, would you rather be condemned to eternal Stairmaster or eternal (and excessive) vomiting? Why?

i would probably want (well not want but prefer) stairmaster because atleast you can decide how fast you can go. With vomiting, well, that just stinks and its a hurt that hurts after its been hurt(:

How many times have you moved and if so, do you miss where you grew up?

I've moved once, from northern VA to Newport News. I miss some aspects of it. There was little traffic and the scenery was nicer. But there's a lot more to DO here, so in some ways, I'm glad I moved.

What would you want written on your tombstone? (the morbidity!)

My name, birth year and death year. That's it.
No point in putting a lot of time and energy into something that I won't ever read.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

People walking very slowly or being loud/obnoxious in public places (usually school hallways.)

What is your most unusual behavior/personality quirk/obsession/trait/etc?

Probably that I'm really quiet, keep to myself and hopefully that I'm
nice...but if they get to know me I can be the opposite(well except for the nice part because I try to be nice to everyone).


If you could change one thing about your life, yourself or a decision you've made, what would it be?

if i could change one thing about my life, i would add more siblings! haha, i have one older brother, and i'm sure this is a grass is greener situation, but i love the atmosphere of a big close family, and that is what i would have loved to have been a part of. so maybe we we throw in a sister and another brother?
i also think that your friends are the siblings that you choose. i hope everyone makes a sibling at governor's school =)

hmmmm....
if you could sit in on the mind of someone you know, and experience their life for a day, listening to their thoughts and understanding how they reason through situations, would you do it? why or why not? and if so, who would the person be?
the catch is the person you choose gets to do the same thing to you one day.

For a day, I would do it. If the question were different and I was privvy to their thoughts 24/7, I'd say no. As convenient as that would be, I think that that would take away a lot from life. Working to understand people is one of those life lessons/obstacles that everyone has to go through.
But as for who I would choose, this is kind of a weird answer, I guess, but I think it would be cool to sit in on a crazy persons thoughts for a day. Just to really see how their brain works. I think it would be really interesting.

Um...
Ooh. Here's a big one.
What would you say is the meaning of life?

oooo deep... I'm going to say happiness. For some people hapiness is love, for some people happiness is faith, and for some happiness is success.


going with the morbidity trend that has been kinda started...
Do you have a Bucket List? (what to do before i die list) If so, what are some of your top things to do?

I haven't really thought of it in that sense before. I mean there are definitely things I want to do before I die, but I haven't really ever sat down and been like okay I want to do this and this and this. But some things I want to do before I die are right an impacting article (ideally about Africa or something), live in NYC, join the Peace Corps, travel to at least 5 continents, i don't really want to say any of the cliche ones so let's leave it at that.

If you could be in any book as any character, what book and character would it be and why?

This games seems fun!
hmm... I would probably want to be Elizabeth from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. She's such an appealing character because she's clever and she's not afraid to show girl power, but at the same time, she's classy and beautiful. She's also very caring and loyal.

Do you believe in fate or do you think everything in life is the result of your choices? (I'm still feeling the after-effects of my IB psych exam! )
