365 day challenge: Day 98

Day 98: What would be the hardest and most fearful thing you would ever have to face in your lifetime

Maybe... losing my memories. But if I did, would I even be aware I was afraid of it? Then... realising my memories are fake? It's even less likely, but to have to rearrange my entire life after finding out nothing is what it seems would be horrifying.

Something that is likely to happen? Dementia.

365 day challenge: Day 97

Day 97: Something you’ve always wondered

How life would have turned out if I'd stayed with my best friend. My life is full of 'what ifs' and could have beens' but that's... the hardest to predict, I suppose.

365 day challenge: Day 96

Day 96: What do you love the most about your grandparents

On mom's side - their kindness and refusal to give up old habits (they don't have any harmful ones).
Dad's side - her energy, skills and jokes.

365 day challenge: Day 94

Day 94: Do you keep your thoughts to yourself

Most of them. Which... might seem odd, given the amount I do reveal. I have a need to be understood so I end up explaining a lot of my thoughts, maybe too often, to people I like.

365 day challenge: Day 93

Day 93: What about the opposite sex can you not understand

Ugh. This question is a disaster. Not only is it cissexist and binary, it ignores science. Good for you!

365 day challenge: Day 92

Day 92: What have you learnt just from attending your school

People in general are lazy and unintelligent assholes susceptible to peer pressure. Unsupervised teenagers even more so.

20 November 2013

365 day challenge: Day 91

Day 91: Name a book you read in school that wasn’t entirely awful

Like the rest of them are? Where the fuck did you grow up? I liked Lord of the Flies. And way back when, Roald Dahl's books.

365 day challenge: Day 90

Day 90: Write a letter to one of your close friends

Hey,


I've been missing you lately. I didn't think I would miss the physical closeness this much but I do. I wish I could just come over to cuddle - watching something or drinking or sleeping or talking or gaming or reading or studying are all possible and encouraged. I'd just like to cling for a while. To be at peace and reassured of your existence and friendship. (And warm. The weather is doing its thing again.) Would it be awkward? Could we get over that eventually? I don't know, but I think I'd like to try.


Sincerely yours,
Komori

365 day challenge: Day 88

Day 88: Does money equal happiness

No, but it does guarantee your needs are fulfilled. It gives you security; food, a place to live, cleanliness, warm clothes, access to the internet and through that information... and still, if I had to choose between being miserable and being miserable with a new computer? I'd want the computer.

365 day challenge: Day 87

Day 87: What are your views upon sex before marriage

It shouldn't even really be a matter of views or opinions anymore. Everyone should be free to do whatever they want to do. I guess there is something romantic about a mutual promise but that only works if they do stay together their whole lives - but the way society attempts to define virginity and place a value on it that no such construct should have is shitty, sexist and dated.

365 day challenge: Day 86

Day 86: What is the difference between living and existing

I'm not sure what you expect from me.

I think you need to be sentient to "live" instead of "existing". Living is the choices you make and how you experience the world. Existing is... being. It's passive, it's nearly guaranteed, a plant can exist and not be dead without "living".

365 day challenge: Day 85

Day 85: If you had the opportunity to get a message across to a large group of people, what would your message be

Do you mean have them understand it or just have them hear it? I would like all bigots to know exactly how far up their asses their heads are and reform - no more racism, no more transphobia, no more sexism, no more discrimination based on sexuality, no more heteronormativity, no more islamophobia, no more naive stereotypes that harm people.

365 day challenge: Day 84

Day 84: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength

Neither. I guess it can be a kind of a "strength" to control when you cry but I'd just call that a skill.

12 November 2013

365 day challenge: Day 83

Day 83: If you had to teach something, what would you teach

English, and I will probably end up doing just that one day, for whichever reason - or Finnish, even, or psychology.

11 November 2013

365 day challenge: Day 82

Day 82: Would you break the law to save a loved one

Yes. No doubt about it, never has been. It's not like the law is infallible either, but even if it was, I would.

10 November 2013

365 day challenge: Day 81

Day 81: What is your biggest fear

I don't know if I can pick one. There are so many things that could go wrong in so many ways. I guess... being abandoned by the people I love the most, then? Inadvertently causing them pain? Being meaningless?  But that's true anyway, so, well. What can you do.

365 day challenge: Day 80

Day 80: A picture from your childhood

You didn't specify.

365 day challenge: Day 79

Day 79: Least favourite subject in school

... Gym? I do think it's good that kids have to exercise but the way the system goes about it isn't cool. Not everyone can do the things some can and it should not be graded. There should be more choices, even if the choice was "play football in small groups instead of taking part in this baseball match" or something. For me the anxiety did its part to make me dislike the classes and, well, I don't like sweating and possibly failing embarrassingly in a group of near strangers I have to go to school with after.
