Actually, no. 2. What is one thing about yourself you're the most proud of?
My ability to look past ones flaws. 3. Roses or orchids?
Roses if I have to choose, I am not that fond of flowers, though lavender is nice. 4. What sustains you, keeps you going every day?
The weekend, and in general, festivals. 5. How did you get to be so awesome?
By being around a damn lot of awesome people, you kind of become more awesome. But to be honest I build up a entire reputation and whatnot, both here and in RL without me knowing. 6. Where were you ten years ago, and what do you know now that you wish you knew back then?
Somewhere in elementary school, and to not take life so seriously. 7. If the human race vanished tomorrow, leaving only you and one other person to keep you company, who would you want that person to be?
Err, that's a hard question. Either Cisca, a very good cute friend of mine, but she's very...chaotic, so I'd probably chose Anna. But then I'd realise food supplies would quickly run out and we'd die a slow death of starvation, so I'd choose a person who would be in the middle of a sedated surgery at midnight, leaving the person a quick painless death. I'd procededly make a memorial to mankind out of something very durable, take a lot of drink, get drunk, pilot a plane and then skydive without a parachute. 8. Who is one person who died before you were born that you'd most like to speak with?
Ghandi. 9. When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be remembered/what do you want to be remembered for?
As somebody who enjoyed life and tried to make life more enjoyable for those around him. 10. Ga! These questions have taken a turn for the depressing! Quick, what is your favorite lolcat!? (Bonus cookies for posting a pic.)

Not words, I am known among some people for my demonic cries though.

You realise I'm a 18-year old non-native english speaker?
15. What's an old-fashioned song or short schmaltzy bit of poetry that's stuck in your head?
Not stuck in my head, but my favorite ''childhood song'' is Bella Ciao which I have sung many times with my father and brother over the years, still sing it occasionaly.
16. Favorite mythological monster?
I love them all. MYTOHOLOGICAL MONSTERS, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL.
17. Enough of this! I am your arch-nemesis! Where will we fight our final, climactic battle?
On top of the mount Everest, where struggling the lack of natural air, the cold and the wind we will duel like gentlemen.
18. In #17, above, did you defeat me? If so, how?
By a clever quip you distract me for a crucial moment making me parry wrong, making me lose my footing and tumble of the steep deep cliff. No body found.
19. Do you prefer the silly questions or the serious ones?
A good mix is preferred. 20. Why did you decide to submit yourself to these torturous, probing questions? For the cookies.

Cute? Artist? What is this blasphemy!
I mean, uh, thank you! I actually haven't been around much at all and only thought to check my PMs today on a whim, so this is a pleasant and ego-boosting surprise.
Reinholdt's Riveting and Rhetorical Questions: What question would you like to be asked?
"I wrote this ekphrastic response to Gertrude Stein's 'A Completed Portrait of Picasso', would you like to look at it and possibly steal it for schoolwork?"
What traits do you look for in an ideal pet?
Fuzzy, cute, independent, won't be noticed by my landlord, won't get eaten by any other pets I have.
What is the square root of Pi?
Tart.
What's your favorite OOTS strip?
I don't have one, I haven't read OotS in a while.

Never read Erfworld, I just couldn't get into it.
How does your ITP persona relate to you in real life?
My itP persona can't talk about a lot of the things that I really care about or are important to me due to forum rules, so I feel like she's much more one-dimensional. Because of this, I think she comes off as being considerably tamer and easier to get along with than I am off the forums. I also have a few disabilities that I don't talk about at all on here, but play a pretty big part in everything I do almost anywhere else.
Sadistic choice time! You must choose to save either the life of your most loved one or the lives of a large group of strangers. Which do you choose?
I reject your reality and substitute my own in which I can save all of my loved ones, and hopefully the strangers too.
What is your favorite word?
Lacuna. I have an essay I want to write about lacunae as reflections of sociological oppression, I just need to find the chance.
What is your least favorite word?
Opinion. It's so often used in a "you can't critique it, my opinions are made of sparkly magical unicorn farts" way.
What makes you enthusiastic?
So many things!
cats
octopi
sociology
rainbows
books
fuzzy things
philosophy
sex
baked goods
grapes
my friends
babies
What disappoints you?
Society, and most people.
What sound do you love?
Rain. Pretty music. Typing. Happy baby gurgles. Little kids using long words.
What sound do you hate?
Pretty much any repetitive noise, or any white noise in the background. I have a really hard time blocking out noises, so they're always there and grating.
What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Well, since I'm currently a student, I guess I could just answer with what I hope to do in the future? I want to stay at home with oodles of kids, homeschool them, and do some freelance writing. I'm also currently re-evaluating my life goal of getting a Ph.D. so that may or may not play a part.
What profession would you not like to participate in?
Anything that involves working with people over 18.
