Day 28: Something that you miss
Right now I’m missing what everyone else is missing - warmth!
This happens to me every year. I have this romanticized picture of Winter that I keep in my head during the warm months, becoming excited about it as the leaves start to change. It’s all…strolls through the city, warm drinks in hand, the white lights in the trees…hearty foods like stew and baked apples…the...

Day 27: A Problem That You Have Had
That’s vague.
And I don’t feel like going into the whole spiel about sexual abuse, because it’s getting old even to me, so let’s go with one of my more recently pertinent ones:
I’m hyperaware of my body, and whenever anything feels even a little bit off, I flip my shit. One of the best feelings in the world is going to the doctor and being told everything is okay....

Day 26: What kind of person attracts you?
Heh.
I like people who are a little bit mean. I like to have to work for a place in someone’s heart. The one time I ever dated a nice guy, I was bored out of my mind.
I like people who have problems. I don’t want to “fix” them, like some people want to “fix” each other - neuroses just make for interesting characteristics.
I like people who like me....

Day 25: Someone who fascinates you and why
Anyone around me who isn’t me.
People I don’t know very well. For all I know, maybe they’re the wonderful people I’ve always wanted to know. The mystery isn’t dashed out yet. They haven’t ruined themselves to me yet.
Certain people seem like the sort of protagonists I’d like to read about, or write about. I like those people best.
I like people who make...

Day 24: Your favourite movie and what it's about
WHOA, there. I don’t have one “favourite movie.” Just like I don’t rank songs or bands or friends. It changes from day to day. Here are a few ones I consistently really like:
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - Most simply stated, it’s the story of a man (David) who goes on a mission to find out more about a mysterious space artifact. He boards the spaceship, Discovery...

Day 22: How you've changed in the past 2 years
This time, two years ago, I was deciding whether or not to break up with Villainous Ex. Sexual abuse, misogyny, and tyrannical bitchiness aside, I was also starting to get really bored with him. His jokes weren’t funny, his stories weren’t interesting, and he was only starting to kind of sort of THINK about maybe listening to some modern music (nothing wrong with classical music - I...

Day 21: One of your favourite shows
I don’t watch that much television. But! Ever since I’ve been dating Boyfriend, I’ve been introduced to a few good shows - my favourite among them being Battlestar Galactica.
It’s a world in which war is waged for a [legitimately] worthy cause, rather than “Well we deserve to control everything basically, because we’re richer, and you’re all doing it...

Day 20: How important you think education is
Um.
Really fucking important, if you have something you’re passionate about and want to know as much as you can about it. Not to mention the fact that you’ll probably get a better job for it. And then the part about prolonging your wait before entering the “real world” is pretty nice.
I can’t imagine what life must be like for people who didn’t go to college,...

Day 19: Disrespecting your parents
What is this even asking?
Uh.
My parents and I fight a lot if we’re forced to live under the same roof. They love me very much - as long as I’m two hours away, we get along just fine.
As much as we fight, I’m pretty close to them. I guess that comes along with being an only child. No matter how bitchy they’ve been, at the end of the day I never had anyone else to talk to...

Day 18: Your beliefs
I don’t know what you’re going for, but I already answered the question about religion.
I’m an atheist, so I don’t believe in anything divine. No ghosts, no miracles. None of that stuff. But that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in anything. I guess I believe in people - but only some people.
I believe that I’m the protagonist in an epic, Academy...
