One of my favorite couples right now
Day 2- Where you'd like to be in 10 years
So, I'm really, really, really bad with the whole planning for future thing. Right now my ideal future planning looks like this-
1) Get into lovely college of my choice
2)???
3) Profit!
(hehehe iseewhatididthere) But seriously, I just don't know. I would like to have graduated from a college that introduced me to friends and opened doors to me, preferably to help me get into some kind of grad school from which I have graduated by now. Except, I don't even know what. I want to travel, I want to do good, I want to do a bit of bad and I want to have fun. Hopefully I've done more of all of those things in ten years, or at least am on my way. I don't want to have settled down yet. I don't want to be close to done exploring my life. I don't think I will have, either. But hey, we'll see what happens.
Day 3- Your views on drugs and alcohol
heh. Well.
Let me start off by saying that I"m a bit unhappy this question is all lumped together. Okay, well maybe not unhappy, but I'm convinced not all drugs are created equal. In general, I would say my stance is definitely not pro-drug. Alcohol actually makes me really sad thinking about, because drunk driving alone accounts for far too may deaths than should be acceptable. What's more, coming from a family with relatives having alcoholic pasts I'm just not super happy about the whole idea. I'm not saying I'll be sober all my life or anything, I'm just not super fond and would like to generally avoid it. As for other drugs, I like to think my stance in based on how they affect the body. I'm not completely adverse to the idea of recreational drugs, but there are some things that I just don't belong in the human body, like cocaine, heroine and general opiates. Substances that are physically and mentally addictive almost immediately should just no be used. I don't understand the appeal. Drug trades also drive crime rates, prostitution and more while simultaneously managing to ruin their costumers' lives. But then, of course, are the not-so-hard drugs. I consider marijuana among this group. I also consider caffeine among this, not to say the two are the same thing. However they are comparable. From what I know from witnessing both and a variety of things I've read, withdrawal symptoms for both are similar. Seriously, caffeine withdrawal is a bitch, and that one I've seen firsthand. I just wish people would look at more than just the traditional idea of anything illegal- bad, anything legal-good, because I'm pretty sure there's a lot more crossover than people would think.
Also- I think consuming permanently body- and mind-altering drugs is a horrible idea that I plan to avoid. But if someone else wants to make that choice, for reasons of their own, who am I to judge?
Day 4- Your views on religion
This doesn't ask for my religion or not religion or whatever, so I'm not going to address (are there multiple ways to spell that word?) it. In general, I'm not fond of religious zealots. At all. Of any sort. I just think that the focus of life should be life, not whatever some after it. So sure, believe what you want, live your life in a pattern dictated by your beliefs, whatever. I definitely can understand the benefits of spirituality, and I know religion can be really good for some people. It can lead guidance, organization, okay, go for it. I just feel really apathetic. But when people cross over into the realm of living solely so their afterlife can be better, I just get exasperated. It doesn't even count as altruism, because motives are so complicated. But when people get carried away, to the point of religion being inseparable from any conversation or action in their daily life, I have little to no patience. Stop that. Think what you want, I don't need to hear about it. Not to say I never would want to discuss their beliefs with someone, but really, there's a time and a place. I have no respect for religious extremists who put their idea of truth in front of the lives of others.
Blegh.
Day 6- Write 30 interesting facts about yourself
1) The following are basically a stream of consciousness and should be not-judged as such.
2) Wilson, from House, is my favorite TV character. I love him so much. The fact that he plays Neil in "The Dead Poets Society" legitimately makes my life. (also, please don't judge me if movie titles are supposed to be formatted differently, sorry.)
3) Sometimes I have problems with people who aren't nerds.
4) Rick Reilly, formerly of Sports Illustrated and now of ESPN, makes me believe in people and sports at the same time.
5) "You're" vs. "your" really does cause me pain when misused.
6) I've been accused of being a hipster. But I think I'd make a bad hipster.
7) I really, really want to make the auditions for our musical next Monday.
8) I love to run. Not like oh, I do it to stay in shape or whatever, but cross-country helps when very little else does.
9) I depend too much on people sometimes.
10) Peppermint tea fixes a lot.
11) On that note, the world can be saved with duct tape, a channel-lock wrench, and a can of WD-40.
12) I love to dance. Love.
13) I don't understand myself very well.
14) I'm not quite a perfectionist, but I have this consuming need to be right.
15) I don't understand people or ethics and I don't think I'm a very good person.
16) I get a ton of sleep ans am always tired. And I don't mean oh, most people get four hours of sleep and I get six, I mean I legitimately get at east seven hourse of sleep nearly every night.
17) Thanks to cross-country and the musicals, I basically live at my high school. And I don't actually mind it. School crushes my soul, but school the not-working part is alright.
18) I do love books, but I don't read as often as I should or used to and am rather ignorant of too much because of it.
19) I have a lot of heroes.
20) I want to be someone's hero someday.
21) I want to change the world, I want to be loved, I want to be happy, I want to be a good person, and I want to get into a good school. Oh, it sounded so nice until the last one.
22) I am really fond of food, a bit too much so.
23) I'M GOING TO AUSTRALIA FOR CHRISTMAS and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it and I've wanted to go for literally years.
24) I like to think I'm a cheeryish person. But not on Mondays. And sometimes not on other days too. So I don't know if that counts.
25) I'm scared of scary movies, but I love the books they're based off.
26) My dreams are something I can sometimes barely talk about because they're so disturbing. They're not nightmares, but then I wake up wondering what on earth could have drawn those images in my head. I remember my dreams nearly every night.
27) Terrorism is an issue too confusing for me to confront. When issues with too high a level of philosophical inquiry arise I have to bury my head in math until I can get perspective again.
28) I don't think I'm interesting.
29) Sometimes I wish I were gorgeous, but usually I'm glad I'm me.
30) I don't know what I'm looking for, but I might find it some day when I stop trying to be profound.
[tadaa! I'm super proud of me for finishing writing that and you for finishing reading it if you actually did so]
Day 7- Your zodac sign and if you think it describes you
"Astrologers liken those born under Aries to the season of spring itself, a time of awakening, emergence, shedding of restraints, impulses towards life. Arians are vital, instinctual and young - the zodiac's perpetual children, youths in search of identity. As such, Rams are likely to be joyful, dynamic, assertive, outspoken and brave. They celebrate life. The frenzied joy in the paintings of Arian Vincent van Gogh expresses the Rams' passionate love of life. Enormous energy is Arian's great gift. Channeling it outward, past self-absorption and toward enlivening the world around them, is the great challenge confronting Rams.
Arians hate constraint, boredom, apathy, and ambiguity. Nuance escapes them; shades of grey confound them. They are most comfortable with emphatic contrasts - black and white, yes and no, good and bad. Wary of joining groups and following leaders, they are also quintessential individualists, and they care deeply for individual rights. Astrologers deem it no accident that the Declaration of Independence was written by an Arian, Thomas Jefferson.
They care deeply about relationships, even while they toil and plumb them for every last scrap of informative feedback. For Arians, any form of contact is better than none at all, and even combat becomes a kind of telling intimacy. Competition adds zest to life; it helps to slake their thirst for life. They are passionate, to be sure, but their passions are inconstant. They symbol of the ram is as metaphorically significant as its season. It is the way of Aries to butt its way forward, scornful of obstacles, careless of consequences. Therefore, it is the task of those born under the sign of the Ram to direct their power toward mature and constructive ends."
I feel like the vast majority of these describe me. Yay "youths in search of a sense of identity." I'm not good with subtleties at all, and I'm generally desperate for feedback (so wheneveryonessuper.tumblr.com/ask nao). The inconstant passions seems particularly fitting.
i just want yall to know that nice tags on art are a huge reason why artists love to post their content onto tumblr. please consider leaving a nice little tag on the art u reblog even if it’s something simple like “nice!” bc it will make the op feel so nice i promise
