How is your day going so far?

What should I name my kitty?

So after I get my tax money back, and after I get my Bamboozle tickets, I should have a couple hundred dollars left and I'm thinking about spending that money on a tattoo. My first thoughts are The Hush Sound lyrics. I am thinking maybe like,

I need something new to listen to, flist. I love you all, tyfyt.

So hi! I added a few friends and I feel like ~introducing myself. Thank you Kevin Kane from Powerspace for this super long indepth survey.



1. If you had to sum yourself up as a musical genre, which would it be?
pop punk. idk if that is still considered a musical genre though. There was always something so fun and vaguely rebellious about LEGIT pop punk. Think early Fall Out Boy, I guess.

2. Tell me one defining story of your childhood.
When I was young, I almost drowned three times. The first time, my dad was underwater, unable to breathe, when I screamed as loud as possible and we finally got noticed. This happened AT LEAST once more. Then I almost drowned in a river because I under estimated the depth.

3. Tell me one defining story of your teenage years.
I nearly killed myself a week before graduation.

4. If you were going to be stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life, and you could only take 5 CD's, which would they be?
I put a lot of thought into these, I can't lie.
Blink 182's greatest hits
Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This to Memory
The Beach Boys - Endless Summer
Fall Out Boy - Take This to Your Grave
The Hush Sound - Like Vines

I'd also really like to take My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. It's tied for number five tbh.

5. How about 5 movies?
Clueless
Mean Girls
Anchorman
Release the Bats (wow I am full of fail)
Grease
Superbad

6. How about 5 books?
I always forget book titles, so I would just grab any five books in the bestseller/classics section of Barnes and Noble

7. Does sleeping come easy for you, or do you have a requisite amount of time you usually spend in bed, before falling asleep?
Sleeping does NOT come easy for me. I always feel like if I sleep, I'm going to miss something. Me and insomnia are friends.

8. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get per night? Do you wish it was less/more?
probably about 6, but that's because I overcompensate and sleep into the day.

9. Is the summer really better than the school year?
yes. I'm not going back to school so now it's summer vaycay all year round.

10. Describe the best summer you've ever had.
ha, easy. Summer '05. Me and my bff staying at a "camp ground" place at the beach. I was introduced to some of the best music every. And also, Fall Out Boy. Summer '04 was also really good because I spent a week in North Carolina with my bff.

11. What's your favorite season? How come?
Spring. Not too hot, not too cold, just fucking right. Everything becomes like, ALIVE again. It's the best.

12. Describe your ideal date (the circumstances, not the person).
Something cheesy like mini golf or laser tag at the beach. They let me win. We have sweet hangs on the boardwalk and watch weird people go by. We also give money to every single boardwalk musician. At the end of the night, we ride the rides and get photobooth pictures taken.

LOL wow, I am a ridiculous romantic apparently.

13. Do you have any hidden talents?
I am pretty incredible at saying the right thing. I also have a really good ear for music that will become mainstream in the future.

14. What's the most trouble you've ever gotten into at home?
I have been kicked out before. It was rough, and I hate to talk about the stupid things I do when I'm angry.

15. How about at school?
lol, in 6th grade I got tons of detentions for talking. 7th grade, me and some girls drew a really mean picture of this boy (I only did it because I secretly liked him and didn't want him to know) and the teachers found and we got in MAJOR trouble. In 11th grade, I made the teacher look like an ass by proving him wrong in not one famous novel, not two, but THREE. Then, as my writing final, I wrote an epic Indian story about the KFC guy.

16. Describe the best dream you've ever had.
oh, here's the thing where I am a romantic again.
Me and a guy (I will leave out who it is because he's a member of a popular band lol) were laying in my bed laughing and cuddling and stuff and we were just running around my house in our pjs. Then my dad gets home and is all 'what are you doing?' and he's all 'I love your daughter, omg.' and then of course I wake up.

17. Describe the worst nightmare you've ever had.
I try and forget all of my bad nightmares, but there used to be this one where there was an army of zombies and ghosts that attacked my family.

18. Do you have any irrational fears (i.e. phobias), or are they all pretty rational?
most are pretty rational, but the my biggest irrational fear is my fear of dummies.

19. What's your biggest passion (regardless of whether it can be channeled into a career)?
Music and politics. How incredible would it be to mix them together?

20. What do you want to be when you grow up?
A teacher, but I gave up on that. Now, maybe a vet?

21. When you grow up, do you want to live in a house or in an apartment? How come?
A house. Even if an apartment would be ~trendier or whatever, a house is way easier to turn into a home.

22. Have you ever had any crushes on teachers? Describe them (the teachers -and- the crushes).
No, actually. Wait, do subs count? There was this one teacher named Mr. Walker and he was really model attractive and wore flip flops with his dress pants and shirts. me and a bunch of girls would always hang out with him and make excuses to go to whatever class he was subbing for.

23. Do you think that most adults are happy, or sad, or enlightened, or what?
I think most adults are actually sort of sad. idk why, but I do.

24. Are you aiming for the stars, or will you be content if you can just get through life relatively unscathed?
lol, neither? I'm not going to shoot for the stars, but I want more out of life then just skating through, you know?

25. What do you do to chill out when you're by yourself (i.e. excluding friends)?
I listen to music and try and watch good tv.

26. Rate yourself (1-10) on your reliance upon other people for your happiness.
8. I like to pretend that I'm self sufficent, but I know I'm not.

27. Of the emotions you experience, say, at least once every few weeks, what's the worst?
idk what you mean by worst. I guess the anger and sadness would be.

28. How about the best?
Obviously the blinding happiness

29. Do you daydream / fantasize a lot? If so, when and where?
yes. At night, in bed. It is a lot less sexual then it sounds tbh.

30. What's the most common subject matter in your daydreams / fantasies?
me with someone I love, doing something fabulous related to both our careers.

31. Name and describe a few people for whom you have boundless respect.
I can't honestly think of anyone and that is really really sad.

32. Are you going to college? If so, what're you gonna major in?
haha, no, I am not. I quit. I majored in education though.

33. Did you ever take a really memorable trip, as a kid?
My family travels A LOT, so there are way too many to tell. I've been to every state on the east coast

34. Describe the last time you felt overwhelmed in a good way.
my friend/cousin visited me at work today and told me a friend of ours was pregnant, then I went to the food court and saw said pregnant friend.

35. Are you confrontational, or are you more likely to simmer than to say anything?
I am confrontational to the people I'm close with, and simmer when it comes to other people.

36. If you could be doing anything in the world right now, what would you be doing?
This is going to sound ridiculous. I want to be on tour. Either for myself, or with someone I love. I want to date a band guy, idek.

37. Are you happy?
right now, yes.

38. Name something you're proud of.
I truly can't think of anything.

39. Name something you're looking forward to in the near future.
Warped Tour

40. Name something you're looking forward to in the distant future
Falling in love, getting married, having kids, the usual



IDK. So now all of you know WAY too much about me, and none of the important stuff. idk, ask questions if you want?
