2. I tend not to have heroes, because I believe putting people on pedestals places undue expectations on them. However, I do very much look up to @ISASaxonists b/c of her antiracist scholarship and her excellent GIF usage.
3. I tend to take things pretty personally, whether IRL or on the onlines. It doesn't bother me in some randos on here dislike me, but I very much care about what my friends and family think. The rejection sensitivity dysphoria is too real.
4. I'm most looking forward to submitting my thesis. I'm almost there! Took a short break for Christmas, plus I was starting to get burnt out.
5. My one life rule I follow is to stand up for myself and others. I cannot abide bullying, and when I see punching down I have a hard time not saying anything.
6. My dream job would be as a historical consultant for video games/TV. Difficult job to get though, and it's not really a permanent position afaik. Would be fun though.
7. I'm not sure which fictional character I'd like to meet. Maybe Captain Marvel, since she kicks serious ass.
8. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astrophysicist. I was very much (and still am) into astronomy. But I was terrible at math, largely due to undiagnosed ADHD, and I struggled with it so much that I pivoted to history in high school.
(my thread got messed up) 9. I'd definitely be Sailor Mercury, hands down.
10. I would very much like to master speaking Mandarin or Cantonese. I started learning Mandarin a bit but the thesis took over so I had to pause. But I think both languages are so interesting.
11. I really hate going to parties where I only know one person. I do not enjoy socialising with people I don't know, and I despise mingling.
12. Assuming this is a general "artist" and not like, painter or something, probably Joan Baez. Not for any particular reason...I just never mention it. Not sure why.
13. Way too many things get me fired up. Any kind of bigotry directed towards my friends, family, or myself. People being mean to my immediate family is up there too. I cannot deal with it, I get extremely upset.
14. I hate the idea of being a part of any fandom. I used to be but the rampant racism, sexism, and homophobia (amongst other things) is so fucking bad. I hate it.
15. I usually de-stress by playing video games or watching something funny while knitting.
16. Reliving one day of my life forever sounds bad. I don't want that. If I had to pick...maybe the day before my MPhil graduation, since I got to spend the day with Alex and my mom and we had some great meals.
My actual grad day was fun but it was stressful and busy haha.
17. I often have gut feelings about people, and then I tell myself to not jump to conclusions and give them a chance. Sometimes this is a good thing but more often than not...my immediate suspicions were correct.
18. If I was a doll, I'd be sold with grungy clothes, a pizza, and 4 storage boxes of yarn.
19. I think I've had the most satisfaction from finishing my undergrad. It took me two years longer than I had wanted, but I worked my ass off in the last few years to get good grades for postgrad work.
20. I think there are a lot of terrible things to put in a pinata, but probably vomit.
21. The biggest waste of money I have ever seen was maybe the one time my mom booked me this appointment at this holistic health clinic and I had a blood test done. Not only did I not get a doctor's assessment (part of the fee, I only saw a nurse) but some of the tests were bogus
22. One common misconception I hear that drives me BONKERS is that the Black Death was only in Europe, and it spread as a result of people not being clean. Hygiene may have played a role, but it was not the only reason and people need to stop saying this.
