Meme: Questions!

[rebelseekspizza]

So I think last time I did this one was actually the day before my first interview for my current job. Go figure. ANYHOW. Meme!

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't
all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later
and add more if you want) to your fellow students,
teachers, townies, alumni and expatriates, and they will
answer them. These are IC questions and IC answers and
should be truthful! They can be personal or silly. You don't
have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of
course and etc.

So, for example, I'd ping in with a question like 'Are you in
love? If so, with who? If not, why not?' And people ping in
under me and answer that question. There's no latesies on
this, because of the format, so people can ping in at their
leisure. And ANYONE can ask questions!

So what's up with you these days?

[myownface]

Oh my god I'm a teacher.

I have no idea what I was thinking and I have students and they ask me questions about things and either trust that I have the answer or make my brain explode. Wednesday evenings are now drinking evenings.

Plus I think I need, like, someone to talk to about how messed in the head I've been lately. Just, someone who isn't necessarily a serial killer, because that shit isn't fucking normal.

[uncertain_dume]

I've started openly wearing my lightsaber. In two mostly unrecognizable pieces on my belt, granted, but I'm wearing it. That's terrifying in ways I don't care to admit, and mostly I find myself reminding myself that people around here both don't care, and are more likely to notice the blaster at my hip, first.

It's a work in progress, I suppose. It's more than I'd ever figured I'd do.

[furnaceface]

I'm going to claw my own brain out if Nanika is stuck out for much longer. I'm past the point of wanting to do the same to Hannibal's eyes, though I'm keeping a sharp eye on him, lately, all the same.

And I'm going to go bloody insane if I can't get out and do something to make a difference again, soon. Which isn't something I'm going to do while we've got Nanika anyway.

[puppy_fair]

Ino and I have talked. Everything else totally being ignored right now, Ino and I have talked. And she says she'll find a safe place for Cloud and maybe a safe place for us and I've agreed to it. We just have to meet up with one another, and then... then this is done.

I don't know what to think about it.

[boneyard_girl]

Not much. Spent a week trying to figure out if I was angry or happy that Marti didn't count as 'dead enough' to come visit me, or if maybe I was bad and didn't love her enough for her to come, an' decided on ignoring th' whole thing.

Mostly just tryin' to focus on spending time with m' friends an' enjoyin' m' last semester.

[crimson_sister]

I'm torn between being homesick and enjoying being back in Fandom. It's a strange feeling. Most of all I miss my brother.

[rebelseekspizza]

How's the lovelife doing?

[myownface]

Comfortable? I mean, Leto and I are happy, and I'm cool with the holding pattern. I'm totally welcome to look around or sleep around or whatever, and that I haven't been isn't really a statement about our relationship - which is super open - so much as it's a statement about where my head has been in general, lately.

Anyway, I don't think there are many guys left on the island who are into, you know, into other guys? I could be wrong. Maybe they're all students. I should have stayed out of teaching. Dammit.

[rebelseekspizza]

Anything you're really worried about?

[myownface]

I am losing my mind.

In little tiny pieces.

Not the same way they were in that other Fandom, this is less obvious than suddenly just not remembering things. I'm just afraid that pieces of me are bleeding out every time something shitty happens, and I'm not completely certain what's taking their places. I don't think it's something stronger than what I lost. It sure doesn't feel like it.

[rebelseekspizza]

What's been your favorite Fandom weird these past few months?

[era_two_triangle]

I still don't much understand what the appeal is in singing, here. But getting to perform celebratory seasonal musical arrangements with my gremlin minions was enjoyable.

... That was Fandom weird, right? Maybe it was just the gremlins.

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Anyone have any New Year's resolutions? Think you're gonna keep it?

[rebelseekspizza]

Drink more, get laid more, suffer horrible trauma less?

Kinda failing already.

[rebelseekspizza]

One thing you'd like to say to someone right now.

[myownface]

Fuck you. Fuck you so hard. I wouldn't be here right now if you'd had our backs the way you said you did. I wouldn't be here right now if you knew when the hell to keep your mouth shut. I'd be back home - as close to a home as anything has ever been - and maybe I wouldn't be wishing so hard that you'd been in the house when we burned it the hell down.

Maybe I'd feel like I actually fit, somewhere.

[rebelseekspizza]

Someone you're having mixed feelings about right now?

[puppy_fair]

I love Ino. I love Ino and I don't know if I can trust Ino, and if it was anybody else I'd be able to keep running, but the moment she got involved, I just...

I'm weary. I don't remember ever being this weary. She could be a tool for the Turks, could take me in and send me right back to Hojo and I don't think I'd have it in me to stop her. I don't think she understands, if the Turks want to take me in, she's their secret weapon.

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Anything coming up that you're excited for?

[myownface]

Nah. I mean, not really, no. Spring break? When is that? That's probably not for months yet, is it?

I'm so super exciting.

[rebelseekspizza]

If you could work any job you wanted, what job would you pick?

[era_two_triangle]

I've never been asked that before.

I've never been asked that before. And I don't know the answer yet, and that's okay! It's okay if I don't know where to go from here! Maybe I'll continue to invent things, or maybe I'll pick a direction to go, farming or something of the like, and I'll apply my talents as a technician toward that!

What do I want to do?

I... I don't know. And that's okay?

[geniuswithasmartphone]

If you had to be trapped on a deserted island with somebody from Fandom, who would it be and why?

[rebelseekspizza]

Anders, probably. Wouldn't be bored, and it's always handy to have a healer ready, right?

[myownface]

What about the long term? Have any big life goals you're aiming toward?

[rebelseekspizza]

I'm totally and happily big life goal-free. Fuck that shit.

[furnaceface]

Regrets, we've all got them. I'm not going to ask about the ones that are chewing at you right now. Are there any that you've ever managed to come to terms with? Learn to live with yourself in spite of?

[trigons_child]

I have come to terms with the demon side of myself. It is part of what I am, for good or bad. I know if the wrong set of demonic ducks get in a row that there is a chance I could go all dark diva in thigh highs, but I think I am much better prepared now to control any dark urges and to channel my emotions more productively.

[trigons_child]

If you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing, what would it be?

[boneyard_girl]

"Most of 'em ain't any more a Townie than you are. It's okay, you can trust 'em. Th' people you like? Ain't gonna get nasty when they learn you ain't a human girl."

"--but don't try t' be friends with Lucille, it'll just hurt when she rejects you."

[goforthe_optics]

Is there anyone in Fandom that you think would absolutely love it there, if they moved back to your world with you? Hypothetically or actually planned?

[boneyard_girl]

I think a lot of people would be happy with m' family. Carnie life ain't for everyone, an' it's a lot of hard work, but Millers love unconditionally an' are used t' Weird. I mean, m' mama's a mermaid. Someone from Fandom would fit right in.

I think Hyacinthe would love it th' most, but I think most of my friends would enjoy bein' a carnie. Except maybe 'Bela, we're a bit too landlocked for a pirate.

[uncertain_dume]

Same question as last, but reversed. Anybody from home you think would thrive on the island?

[crimson_sister]

My brother definitely would.

[rebelseekspizza]

Any big secrets you've been keeping?

[uncertain_dume]

Only before I came here. Here, there doesn't seem to be much point, anymore.

[rebelseekspizza]

Never mind goals. What are your dreams, if you could have anything?

[uncertain_dume]

Jedi Order restored, actually knowing my place in the Galaxy. Not having to constantly be on the run. Peace.

Small order, I know.

[rebelseekspizza]

Favorite NPC Fandom oldbie?

[rebelseekspizza]

Favorite class you've taken your entire time here?

[trigons_child]

Ethics!
