Getting to Know Myself

If there was a visual introduction to this, you know as in if it were displayed on the big screen at the start of a movie … it would show me typing, misspelling words and repetitively backspacing to get my words and thoughts appropriately together ...

Thankfully, technology helps me to be a better speller, so you’ll find this writing hopefully both spelling and grammatically correct.            

I sadly had to google a list of ’50 most common questions to answer about yourself’ in order to do this next bit, so here’s that:

• What is one article of clothing that someone could wear that would make you walk out on a date with them?
• Terribly dirty shoes? I feel as if having very dirty shoes says you might possibly have dirty socks, which means dirty feet. Your feet should always be clean.
• The zombie apocalypse is coming, who are 3 people you want on your team?
• To be determined
• KP
• My dad 
• What is your most used emoji?
• Right now, the laughing-smiley emoji. In a close second, the black heart. 
• In my second read, my most used emoji was the heart-eyed emoji. In close second, the kissy-face emoji. I am not sure who I have been sending these to, genuinely.
• In my third read, the double exclamation points. In a close second, the upside-down smiley face. Not sure where the exclamation point came from, but am well aware of why the upside-down smiley is there. 
• In a last read, some time later from the first, it is again the laughing-smiley emoji with the regular smiling emoji coming in close second.
• On 11/20/2020 as I perused through old blogs, it is the laughing-smiley emoji and the 'idk shrugging' girl. 
• What was the worst style choice you ever made?
• I am sure there will be something worse, but right now, any time I’ve cut my hair uncomfortably short or given myself full-face bangs. 
• I have decided on 11/20/2020 the 'something worse' was letting my mother dress me for near 20 years of my life. 
• What was the worst haircut you ever had?
• Wow, see #4. Any time my hair has been cut short or I have bangs, I don’t generally like it. 
• Who was your childhood actor/actress crush?
• Sean Faris; Sleepover-era. You could also add the Pretty Little Liars-era Sean Faris. Also, Never Back Down-era Sean Faris.

• Reese Witherspoon, the Olsen Twins, Drew Barrymore … specifically Luna Lovegood (not the actress)
