What did (or will) you eat for dinner tonight? I thought this would be a fun question because of how many different parts of the world everyone comes from. It's fun to hear about all of the various cuisines out there. :)
I have no idea what's for dinner tonight but yesterday was my boyfriend's sister's pathetic attempt at a graduation party so we had lots of snacks and burgers and hotdogs and mac and cheese and cookies and 2 pies that I was super hyped for because I was told the person who made them makes REALLY AMAZING pies and they were so bland. I've never in my life had a *bland* *pie* before. Extremely disappointing. But anywho, I didn't eat most of it. Just some chips and a bit of mac and cheese with a slice of each pie and brownie and a chocolate chip cookie. Oh, and lots of lemonade. No wonder the scale says I'm heavier today! 😅

This is a question about episode 3 of The Handmaid's Tale. How do you think Ofglen was caught? What was your first reaction to her punishment?
I feel like Nick had something to do with it, but I really have no idea. He's the only thing that makes any sense to me because he's the only one who's even so much as glanced at Ofglen, let alone mentioned her (to my knowledge). But I don't think he's an Eye (??) so that sort of cancels out my idea. UNLESS, he's not an Eye but he's trying to hide that fact and he knew Ofglen would survive because she's a breeder. I'll go with that because I don't want to not like Nick but I also don't know who else would've turned her in! I think her punishment was absolutely terrible BUT in complete honesty and fairness, I'm glad that's all she got. Aunt Lydia (or whoever said it) was right, she may not be able to feel or enjoy it anymore but she's still alive and she's still a viable "surrogate" mother. But my first reaction was most likely one of disgust. That's a horrible punishment, especially when added to that of being a witness to her lover's death.
This is a question about episode 2 of The Handmaid's Tale. What did you think of the birth scene? How soon did you figure out what was happening in it? Do you think everyone who participated in it actually believed it was the best way to proceed?
Like I said in a previous answer, the whole concept of how society is in this story is ridiculous in an absolutely terrifying and extremely sad way. I thought the birth scene was absurd in every way possible. The whole process is insane for a lack of a better term. I think it's beyond sad that women are used solely for breeding purposes and yet, as the ones who do all the actual work in this breeding, are treated worse than the women who will end up getting to keep the babies. They don't even let the actual mother hold the baby first! I can't imagine the emotional torture these women experience. I'm sure the intentions behind the process were swell-- let the "adoptive" mothers experience childbirth as if they were the actual mothers, maybe, but it honestly comes off more as a joke than anything else. The real mothers are in actual pain, screaming and crying and birthing a CHILD, and the other woman is sitting there shadowing everything they do as if that makes it any more real for them. I can't imagine that everyone involved actually believes that's the best possible way to proceed-- especially Offred and Ofglen. I'm not sure exactly when I figured it out, but it was probably around the same time the camera moved from the "labor" downstairs to the actual mother upstairs.
quality check time: what do you like the most about my questions? what do you like the least? is there anything i can do to improve my question-asking skills? thank you for your input, everyone!
I love your questions. They're always intelligent and unique and often relevant to everyday life which is always nice. I can't think of any reason I wouldn't like them. I agree with what Witty said, more frequency would be nice but it's totally unnecessary and a rather selfish request :p I'm sorry this input is so unhelpful lol.
This is a question about episode 2 of The Handmaid's Tale. What did you think of The Salvaging? Do you think the man who was part of it was actually guilty of the crimes he was accused of?
The man accused of raping one of the handmaids who was then beaten to death by the handmaids? Somehow I have a strong feeling he was innocent and/or it was entirely consensual, which I find highly ironic since the handmaid's literally live to be raped. This whole concept is wild and unpleasant and so, so wrong.
How many electrical devices do you own?
Uhhh.. 3? :$ That's excluding game systems and like kitchen gadgets and stuff though.

Pony tail, singular 😋
Have you ever been skinnydipping?
Nope.
Have you ever had a secret admirer?
Not that I'm actually aware of but I'm sure someone has secretly admired me from afar, I hope.
A friend and her boyfriend (they have a child together), were at a concert tonight and he has left her stranded in a city with no way home (an hours drive away to get home). Do you think it's acceptable to leave someone stranded due to a falling out?
I can totally understand leaving someone stranded spur of the moment after an argument but I'd either go back for them or I'd arrange for some other transportation for them. However, while I may well understand someone who would do that, I certainly don't think it's acceptable at all. If he left the child stranded with her (not sure they would have brought their kid to a concert too but who knows??) then he's just an ass, plain and simple. With that being said though, I wouldn't stick around with someone who did that.

does anyone in your real life know you have an askfm account? do they have an account and/or follow you?
Yes. My boyfriend, cousin, and parents all know. My boyfriend and cousin both "have an account" but, naturally, never use them. And I believe they both follow me too.

how do you motivate yourself to do household chores? would you rather get everything done in one day or space chores out a little bit each day?
Uhhh, since I still live with my parents my household chores are pretty much just keeping my room and bathroom clean so I honestly just usually let it go until it gets too messy/dirty. But when my parents are out for a couple days I'll usually try to clean up a bit (even if it's already clean), unless I have other important things to get done (I usually don't). It really depends on my mood and how bored I am quite frankly. I tend to try and get it done in one go but I'm also slow and get distracted easily so sometimes it turns into a multi day project, depending on how much there was to get done in the first place.
Is your hair curly?
That'd be a definite no, dawg. I wish I had curly hair though, or at least hair that could hold a curl.

Inspired by (stolen from) Don't Ask Me, Ask Britain which I watched the other night. Should parents be able to microchip their children? Give reasons why/why not.
No. Children aren't pets. I don't support having that kind of thing put into anyone-- my own child, myself, or a complete stranger. I really highly dislike the idea of having a tracker like that, or something that could potentially have important information (like health stuff maybe? I don't know enough about microchips in humans) permanently placed inside my body-- especially against my own will.

Have you ever been "Manterrupted?" Been on the receiving end of a "Mansplanation?" Been crowded out by "Manspreading?" Google definition if you haven't heard these terms before. BQ: Have you *witnessed* these things? BQ2: Are they valid terms in your opinion?
That I'm aware of, no to all of the above. "Manterrupting", "mansplaining", "manspreading", etc. are literally only called those things when a man does it to a woman yet it's no different done to a woman than it is between two men so I'm not sure why it's suddenly some "sexist" thing part of the time. Besides, I've literally NEVER seen a man take up enough room to be considered "manspreading". Also I sit "like a man" (or, more like a man than a woman at least) more often than not because I'm simply more comfortable that way. There's nothing wrong with sitting that way. I don't think they're valid terms. They really just sound like terms people came up with so women could have something else to complain about with regard to sexism.

Do you like to write? Whether it be poems, stories, blogs or just your feelings down on paper. Do you think writing can help to deal with negative emotions?
I love to write. I write a little of everything but I mostly dabble in stories and journaling. I'm not big on poetry. I do think writing can help with negativity. I write in a journal and I used to write in it fairly regularly but now I use it mostly just for getting things off my chest when I don't know who to talk to about whatever I may need to chat about.

What do you call your tomato tuna recipe? Does it have a specific name, or does your family say something like "let's have tuna and tomatoes again!"?
We just call them stuffed tomatoes! c:
What's your opinion on who pays for a meal when eating out on a date? Should it be split down the middle? Should you pay for your own food? Should the man pay (assuming it's a male/female date) etc?
I have no issues helping and/or offering to pay the bill but a guy who *expects* me to help out/foot the bill is a huge turn off. So basically I think men should expect to pay it but it's totally acceptable and they shouldn't argue (too much) if a woman offers-- especially if they're a person who makes more than the man does. I think it's totally acceptable for the person who makes more to pay at least their share if not the whole bill. I think first dates should be paid for by whoever asked out the other, which (to my knowledge) is almost always the man in heterosexual relationships. From there it should go based on how the couple feels. Same for homosexual couples.

Would you date a latino boy with your standards of wanting the right guy?
Unless latinos can't measure more than 5'9", are always too fat or too skinny, and none are within a 6 year age difference of myself (all of which I highly doubt), I'm not sure why you would even consider asking me this.
