an alien's answers (questionnare)

1.) At your part of the world, is it summer now?:

Quite. We are in the depths of an invisible, raging fire. A state-wide sauna. Hell's water park. 

2.) What’s the warmest it can get over there? How about the coldest?:

It can be the centerpoint of the sun and the freezing tundra the next. I live in a strobelight of seasons.

3.) Is there a bad habit you’re trying to break right now?:

Oh, where should I start?

4.) Is it easy to find a job in your preferred field in your home town?:

The beauty of my field is its boundless state. In theory, I could reside anywhere in the world and find work. That, I am grateful. 

5.) When is the last time you went to a fun fair?:

It’s been so long I can no longer remember - and I don’t wish to remember. 

6.) How about an amusement park?:

Also a long time ago, I prefer to stay away.

7.) Did you/will you take part in your city’s Pride parade this year?:

8.) Ladies: Would you ever consider proposing? If not, why not?:

-

9.) Gentlemen: How would you feel, if you were proposed to?:

10.) Have you ever played the original Mass Effect trilogy?:

No, but I’ve only heard good things about the trilogy.

11.) Let’s say there’s a person in need. They need money which they can’t make. Would you be more likely to help them out, if a celebrity asked you to?:

If I have the financial bandwidth I would donate either way, it wouldn’t be influenced by the request of a celebrity. 

12.) When you go to a restaurant, do you have a go-to dish?:

My safe foods that (most likely) won’t kill my stomach, but unfortunately it’s always a gamble. 

13.) Would you rather live next to a kindergarten or an old folks’ home?:

Old folks home. They tell good stories.

Pokemon Heartgold. Not on an emulator!

Perkele

16.) Where was the postcard from that travelled the longest way to you?:

I’ve never gotten one nor made one.

Tumblr

20.) Did you learn to play an instrument as a kid? If so, which one?:

I played the cello for a few years but dropped it after awhile. I miss playing.

The moments where I’m not wanting to crawl out of my own body.

22.) If you learned that you suddenly needed an aid of some sort to do something that you normally don’t need (glasses, hearing aid, etc.), would you comply or would you put it off until there was no choice anymore?:

Due to my intense fear of change I would put it off until I was unable to function without them- that is how I got my first pair before the adults took me in to get evaluated. I thought I could be sneaky.

23.) Do you enjoy being on your own?:

At this period in my life being on my own is both immensely soothing and dreadful

A busy crowd is the easiest way for me to achieve sensory overload.

Sure, why not. I love goats and all those funny mammals. 

27.) What’s the strangest saying you’ve come across?:

“No, yeah.” “Yeah, no” “No yeah no” “yeah no for sure” 

I’m getting sick. 

28.) What’s a First World problem that you have?:

Hm. My WiFi can be unreliable.  

29.) Do you use food products that are advertised as more healthy?:

Advertised implies that they are, to a degree, deceivingly healthy. So yes.

Physically they are acute. Mentally, chronic.

Swimming in a lake.

The farthest I’ve gone are remixes.
