Writers are forgetful,
but they remember everything.
They forget appointments and anniversaries,
but remember what you wore,
how you smelled,
on your first date…
They remember every story you’ve ever told them -
like ever,
but forget what you’ve just said.
They don’t remember to water the plants
or take out the trash,
but they don’t forget how
to make you laugh.
Writers are forgetful
because
they’re busy
remembering
the important things.
From the philosophical perspective of the African musician, cross-beats can symbolize the challenging moments or emotional stress we all encounter. Playing cross-beats while fully grounded in the main beats, prepares one for maintaining a life-purpose while dealing with life’s challenges.
booboo, babe, baby, bro, bitch
if i call you one of those things you may use your best judgement as to which context i am using.

1. What’s a question you’re afraid to ask? To whom?
Why are you so Goddamn difficult? To…a person.
2. What’s something you hide about your personality?
That my feelings get hurt WAY more easily than people realize.
3. What’s something other people think about you that you don’t agree with?
That I’m some kind of badass. Every time I get to be friends with someone they say they were intimidated by me and I just don’t get it.
7. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you?
Cook me dinner. Legit, I think one of the most meaningful gestures a person can offer is making someone else food.
8. Describe your favourite texture.
The silk edges of my baby blanket. No lie. And, yes, I still have it.
11. Which fictional character would you most like to have lunch with and why?
There is no possible way I could choose.
18. Which Disney Princess do you most identify with and why? Which is your favourite and why? And yes- ANYONE can answer this question.
I don’t identify with any of them. At all. Mulan is my favorite though cause she’s a fuckin’ badass.
19. You’re an Action Movie Hero. What’s your weapon of choice and the line you scream when defeating your arch enemy?
Machine gun. And “fuck off.”
21. What did you think about before you fell asleep last night?
How frustratingly impossible some people can be.
25. How do you think you will fare when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives?
Here is why more people should hang around me: If zombies ever show up, I guarantee you’d be safe with me. Because I’m slow as fuck, and I have neither a fight nor flight response. I have a lay down and die response.
26. Which mythological creature are you most like? Why? And if you could be any mythological creature, which would you want to be? Why?
I don’t even know any mythological creatures. A unicorn? Is a unicorn mythological? We’ll go with that.
28. Describe one of the most awkward experiences of your life.
Life is an awkward moment as far as I’m concerned.
30. List 5 quirky things about yourself.
I’m not particularly quirky. Although I feel like in this age of hipsters not being quirky is quirky.
34. Do you have any “rules” about food?
It has to taste good. And I eat it. That’s about it.
35. What’s your opinion on age differences in relationships?
If someone is old enough to biologically be your parent/child, they are too old/young for you. Clearly, it all also has to be legal as well.
36. What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about?
Umm…I don’t really want to do any embarrassing things. I guess I’d only be embarrassed to tell people my goals in the event I don’t accomplish them…they aren’t embarrassing in and of themselves.
38. How do you approach social situations?
Balls to the wall. Just go do it. Realize I’ll probably do/say something awkward and while I will relive that moment over and over in my head, it’s unlikely anyone else will notice, realize or care that it happened. If people DO notice awkward behavior, play it off like a joke.
39. What is your ideal bed? Why?
My bed. It’s a full, which is the perfect size for just me. All 6 of my pillows. A shit fuck ton of blankets. The ONLY thing I’d prefer is if it was longer. I’m too tall for it :(
Hi, can I please have a loan so I can buy a car and stay in school? I’m kinda smart and mostly responsible (when I’m not drinking). I work hard and everyone who meets me loves me. I’m sort of a hipster (but I don’t do drugs, promise) and I think I’m a comedian. Oh, and I love food. Going to apply for a loan…do I look smart and responsible and loan worthy?

10. What do your socks look like? im not wearing socks, atm. however when i wear socks i ALWAYS wear white ankle socks with the higher back so my shoes dont hurt me
21. Have your friends ever randomly stopped by your house? one time. in high school. a friend and i got in a really stupid fight and i was really upset and she stopped by my house just to say sorry. it was really cute. then i also lived in dorms and apartments that friends lived in the same building so they stopped by, but i feel like that doesnt really count.
23. What if you had a baby with the last person you texted? well the last person i texted was heather, so not possible. but theoretically, it would be probably the raddest baby to ever exist.

I have a few. ”Only after we’ve lost everything are we free to do anything.” “Without rhythm there is no heartbeat.” And ”To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

3-Perfect eye and hair colour combination for a boy/girl? I’m partial to dark hair and light eyes. But one of my coworkers pointed out that I hit on blondes the most, so…?
