Happy Apple's question thing
written on Wednesday, January 9, 2013 @ 10:18 PM ✈
Hey haven't posted in a while cause I'm lazy and I was also preoccupied with something else lately (*´ω｀*) <-- lol dodgy face. I probably should also blog about the happenings of the last few days but I'll do that some other time... (words of a true procrastinator)
So here we go:
1) Do you have a middle name? If not, what would you make your middle name?
I don't have one and since I've lived all my life without one, I think it would be weird trying to think of one as it just wouldn't sound right o_o
2) Name a pet peeve of one of your parents
My mum usually doesn't like any of the foods that I like or buy, for example ice-cream flavours. Even though it tastes fine to everyone else, she always finds it "too salty, too sweet, or too sour etc" and always always makes this scrunched up face of disgust when she tries those foods even though I tell her not to try it (because I know she won't like and she will make that face)
Oh and I also hate it when both of them use my half-used tissues without asking == Like at dinner when I've just used my tissue slightly to wipe my mouth and then they use it to wipe an oil spot on the table or something == I prefer to finish using my tissue instead of them just taking it... And then they tell me to just get another tissue if I'm so hung up about it. Dude why can't you just get another tissue in the first place instead of stealing mine? ==
EDIT: Oops, just realised this was supposed to be about out parents' own pet peeve, not my own pet peeve concerning them but I cbb answering this properly :/
3) Which European country would you most like to visit?
I'm not really interested in European countries since they're sooo far away that I'd probably be really annoyed sitting on a plane for that long. Maybe Sweden or Switzerland?
EDIT: Wow I forgot Italy until I read Shirley's blog but yes I'd probably most likely want to visit there since I love their food :D
4) What was the happiest day of your life? If you can’t remember, what makes you the happiest?
This isn't necessarily the happiest day of my life, but it's one of the days that I was really happy happy (this is off the top of my head). It was when I was in year 4 and at dinner, my dad told me there was a "surprise" waiting for us if we could finish all of our dinner. Needless to say I didn't manage to finish since I was too excited but dad showed us anyway. And that was the day I go to meet our two rabbits (Lucy and Peter) which were my first pets (I don't care for fish) and I was so happy since I had asked mum and dad since forever if we could have rabbits :)
5) Name three things on your desk.
Candle lantern thing, some bank statements and that duck beak whistle thing from the giant duck in the city.
6) In your opinion, what is the most useless gift you can give?
Erm weird hair ties that I would never use -cough Rosemarbum cough-
7) A language you wish you had complete mastery over?
Japanese, so then I could understand those untranslated games ww
8) What do you wish you had learnt as a child and developed so you were good at it now?
I wish my parents didn't make me quit art lessons as a kid D:
9) Your favourite feature physically? (Don’t say you don’t like anything!)
If I really had to pick I guess my fingers? Cause back when I was learning piano mum used to always say "you're lucky you have long slender fingers to play piano with and you're lucky you didn't get my chubby short fingers."
10) Your favourite thing personality-wise?
Maybe how I like to stick to my morals? Or something like that.. T_T
11) Do you want to change yourself this year?
I always want to change myself. This year hopefully I'll be more serious about my studies and not get so worked up about things.
12) What are you planning to study?
Haha T_T
13) Are you an Apple person?
Not exactly. I have an ipod touch and it keeps dying on me in different ways for no good reason. Losing faith in apple (not that I fully loved it to begin with) and also I dislike people who are like "I love apple and I have an iphone, mac, ipod, ipod touch blah blah blah." That kind of obsession is nuts == Oh and I don't like people who blindly always say that apple is really good without even considering apple's shortcomings (but this goes for any product)
14) What is your favourite word?
Err I don't really have one but right now I tend to say ばかやろう (bakayaro) a lot to myself when I do something stupid (it basically means "you fool"). Definitely influenced by Killer Bee from Naruto lol.
15) Do you like the date of your birth?
Sure why not, wouldn't trade my summer birthday for anything else. Plus it's the day after Australia Day so it's easy to remember (for me).
16) What is the coolest thing you have made?
If it's food, probably my cinnamon rolls lol. Other than that, I haven't really made much so maybe my hannari tofu felt plush?
17) Introvert or extrovert?
Well if I'm not with people I feel comfortable with then introvert.
18) Do you prefer lemons or limes?
Lemons! They're so versatile and occur in more recipes than limes do.
19) What do you find the most annoying “first world problem"?
Aww man usually I can think of plenty but right now I don't know any... Okay hmm maybe when my laptop runs out of battery really fast since the battery sucks. That sounds so shallow and sad T_T
20) Do you behave differently at home?
Probably but then maybe not really. I think I'm just as loud at home as I am with my friends.
21) What is your favourite kind of shopping? Or do you dislike all forms of shopping?
I detest all kinds of shopping. I just wasn't made for it. When I really have to go clothes shopping, my feet actually become tired after like 10 minutes because I'm so not into it. But if it's grocery shopping that's another story :D It's never hard to find something you'd like to eat and it's always so easy since you can always get it pretty much anywhere (unless you're looking for something hard to find like that time I had a hard time finding aburaage tofu to make inarizushi which I was craving for so bad T_T).
22) What are your views on feminism? (Sorry)
Argh after having to always read feminist texts thanks to two years of Dr Wakeling as my english teacher you'd think I'd have something better to say than what's going to follow... Well I'm all for gender equality and all but I'm not one that would really protest for it eep
23) On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being hermit and 10 being aware of things practically before they happen how aware of world events are you?
Maybe just 5? I know about the things going on just probably not all the details. I don't really like watching the news since sometimes there's scary stuff on there ww (don't give me a weird look)
24) What will you do when you retire?
Hopefully travel, have cool pets and take up some sort of cool craft... and maybe collect retarded stuff lol
25) If you were designing your future house, what style would you have?
Either a cool modern apartment or just a nice big house that has quirky stuff and each room has different coloured walls.
26) What is an appliance you would love to own?
A cintiq 24HD would be cool but I definitely wouldn't be able to use it to it's full potential. Oh wait that's more of an electronic than an appliance... Well then either an ice-cream maker or a takoyaki pan ^^
27) Will you drive a Toyota when you grow up?
Sure why not, probably will since that's what our family has.
28) What is a common expression of the 21st century you cannot stand?
Ugh there are too many. Swears (cause they sound harsh), things like "yolo", "swag" and eww "swolo". There's probably more.
29) Describe something that has happened to you that you were so sure would not happen or vice versa
Only thing I can think of right now is that time when I was little and did that colouring competition and thought that I would never win and then we won this gigantic basket of easter eggs (which I'm sure mum was happy about since back then my sister and I couldn't eat chocolate and my dad just doesn't like it).
30) What are your plans for your blog’s future?
Not much really, just for it to continue being my "typed" diary. Hopefully it won't die because of me being lazy.
And that's it! Took a lot longer than expected and is probably boring to read :/
