Do you use to run from the truth just because you're scared that you might get hurt?
sorry, is there a question here?
Do you have good friend(s), whom you did not like at first?
I think it’s the other way around: I befriend people after they initially write me off as a cold weirdo. Only people who bother to push past my strange mannerisms & anxiety and decide that I’m worth it become my friends. Few people think I’m worth it.
Would you rather have an electrical car or a regular one?
At this point I’d rather never own a car again and just rent when I need one, but I have kids who gotta get to their grandparents’ house from time to time. My current car is gas-powered and it’s 7 years old. If it dies, I’d love to go electric.
Have you ever performed for an audience? What was this experience like?
I did a lot of acting in high school and I loved it, which I think directly informs my life as an English teacher in a foreign country: I’m performing for an audience and I need to keep their attention. I also consider my trivia quizzes a performance and I love doing them too.
What social media do your parents use?
My mom kind of uses Facebook sometimes but she still can’t find any pictures or words I post there so it’s like she’s not really there at all.
Would you rather face Conor McGregor in the octagon or listen to somebody scratching a plate with a fork for 2 hours straight?
I don’t know who that is but I am physically worthless in competitions of any kind so give me the plate-scratching please
From 1-10, how good are you at swimming?
Negative-3
Which Marvel character is your soulmate?
I grew up in New York as a nerd with few friends who loved science so I’ve gotta go with Peter Parker. I love that as soon as he got super powers he started brainstorming ways to use his new gifts to make a living, only to immediately learn the hard way that helping people should be his priority.
Would you rather have your french fries with ketchup or with mayo?
for over twenty years the answer has been BOTH
From 1-10, how chilled are you as a person?
I’m neither a cop nor a prude but I’m anxious all the time and if someone displays the slightest interest in me I flip out so...3 out of 10
What was the last thing you purchased? #لغد_لكح 🐷@C80M
Instead of buying a can of soda with lunch each day at work, this week I tried buying a big bottle of soda and drinking it for three days. It worked in the sense that I saved money, but by the third day it was kinda flat and I felt ridiculous chugging from a 1.5L plastic bottle. 😅
Long hair or short hair for girls?
Short hair is a better look for *everyone* but literally zero girls need my opinion on this matter. Long-hair lovers, you do you.
What’s the last time you went to a library?
We have a library at work! It’s not open all the time and it’s aimed at kids, but I like going in there from time to time and just looking through the books and thinking about how I could use them with my students. (If we’re talking public libraries, my kids regularly enjoy borrowing books from one near my local station)
Who do you talk to on the phone most often?#لغد_لكح 🐷🐖@Monayasso
my mom, though we use FaceTime so it’s not technically “on the phone” in the traditional sense. Still, it’s a live, remote conversation and she gets to see her grandkids almost weekly.
Their experiences, their upbringing, and their perspective. And we all need to do our best to remember that when we talk to strangers or even just speculate about another person’s situation.
When was the last time somebody shouted at you? #لغد_لكح 🐷@Kokilina
I work with kids and live with two of them and they shout A LOT, but not necessarily out of anger or fear. They’re just super loud! But if we’re talking adults...I had a coworker unload on me a few years ago at my old job. She was frustrated that I didn’t finish preparing flash cards that she asked for. It was intense, and she carried on to the point that the principal yelled at HER for making a scene in the office. I remember bringing it up during one of our last chats because I thought she resented me for my mistake and she laughed it off. It was a little bit reassuring though I’ll never forget that rage explosion.
What is your "never again" brand?
Play Asia! Their prices are nothing special, their merchandise is available elsewhere, and their social media account is predatory and mean. Don’t give them money or attention!
Do you love autumn?
While it lasts, yes!
If you were shown today your first-grade self, what would you think?
“Shown” like a photograph? Because I’ve seen photos of me in the first grade and I look a lot like Go, just with lighter hair
Will you scold your children for getting bad grades?
I do not. As long as he does the work and shows signs that he’s paying attention, I don’t care what numbers come back written on his tests.
