::MY TEN FACTS::
1. I have been enrolled in college for a few weeks now and feel phenomenally old about it all. Like my skin and bones should just be falling apart right now. I'm getting to this point where I'm supposed to become this adult, and yet my mind is still learning children's songs and wanting to ride a pony.

2. I am addicted to Powerade, the blue kind.

3. I really, honestly love math and science. I doubt myself in many arenas, but when I've learned a new theorem and have applied it to the way I've always done things, and can see where everything falls into place, it's the most comforting experience I've ever enjoyed.

4. I want babies. Not to eat, but to raise, and not for quite some time, but eventually.

5. As much as I hate and can argue about the futility of makeup, I occasionally wear it because to me it's like-- a skill set I have not yet mastered. I may not like the game, but I want to be able to argue with some understanding of my opposition.

6. I like bringing my fuzzy-covered monkey sketchbook to my programming class to take notes because it gets kids to not talk to me-- Ironically, I actually have begun improving at understanding what's going on now that I'm writing most of it by hand first.

7. I have a pint of apple juice. <3

8. I have two pet monsters. Both are stuffed animals: Ludo (a super-soft bat) and Nightwing (a Night Fury plush from How to Train Your Dragon). I love talking to them as if they've done something wrong. "No, Nightwing, stop hassling Ludo! He's trying to sleep."

9. I am in love with movies like Labyrinth, How to Train Your Dragon, Astro Boy, and Count of Monte Cristo. They inspire my inner romantic, artistic heart, before I get distracted by looking for more on-campus professors to do undergraduate research with as soon as possible.

10. I would marry Batman.

::'s questions::
1. Do you believe in the existence of God? Why/why not?
Not in so many words. Because of my basis in physics, and my association of metaphysics to physics to philosophy to This Is How the World Works, I believe in balance. Thermodynamic assurances of chaos are balanced by the understanding that it all becomes energy. Lost, used, working, just energy. I don't identify any deity, I guess, but I sort of associate with Dao thought (pretty sure it's Dao, anyhow XD) that whatever there is, it is in everything, part of everything. It's not a power, or a being, but a force and energy to things. It is String Theory, where every oscillation of the cosmos has importance and significance, just on varying scales. Humans are probably insignificant, but when you think of all the beautiful things that exist, by accident or design, who really cares about us? The universe is so far beyond fathoming, it's awe-inspiring. I prefer to think that it's an accident and twist of fate that we exist anyhow-- why would anybody put effort into creating and caring for one mote of the entirety of the galaxy? It seems kind of tiny-minded to want to be more special than all of everything else. I mean, we might be, but I don't necessarily follow it.

2. Is climate change real? Why/why not?
Yes. Yesterday it rained, today it is not raining. XD After that schpiel above, I'm not answering this one in full.

3. Who is subjectively the greatest musician on earth?
Hrm. This is hard. I like everybody! D;

4. Have you ever rolled a condom onto a real penis?
Nope!

5. Top or bottom?
Top. XD Interestingly enough, though I haven't ever done sexy things, so um... this is based on my assumption.

6. What's holding you back from accomplishing your strongest dream or ambition?
Getting through a degree or two first.

7. Have you ever been attracted to a blood-related family member?
No. XD My family is pretty, I guess, and we all got very good genes, but I'm not much attracted to *anybody*, least of all the people who I still mentally identify as themselves at age 5.

8. I say: God is dead, we're more or less alone in the universe. We, the contents of the universe, came to be here as the result of a long chain of cause and effect originating from who-the-fuck-knows, but its rather irrelevant for our purposes. What do you say?
Except for the dead thing, I already said all of it. XD Copycat. I don't see God as dead, because God is a non-entity to me. It is an idea, a beautiful idea, but not anything I can accept. Therefore, he is not dead-- he is not here.
Oh! And I don't know about being alone in the universe, but I don't see why it matters.

9. When is the last time you masturbated?
Ummm... four to five days ago. >>

10. Have you lied in answering these questions?
No, unfortunately. XD

::YOUR QUESTIONS:

1. Batman or Spiderman? Justify.
2. How deeply do you trust your own mind?
3. Are you afraid of the dark?
4. Raise your hand if you have green eyes.
5. Oh, whoops. What color are your eyes, if you did not just raise your hand?
6. If you were asked to wear the clothes of a completely foreign stereotype (i.e., you, as a scenester, hipster, etc. were asked to dress in sporty clothes in neutral colors, or as a formal-wear, hate and tie person, you were asked to wear your pajamas or shirts and tees everywhere?) how would it affect your daily life if you accepted? How would the people around you react?
7. Science, math, english, or art? Justify.
8. How do you feel about modern gender identities?
9. To live in excess, or to live ascetically?
10. Are we all part of the same whole, or are we all individuals, with no connection to other but what we make them into?
