365 day challenge: Day 313

Day 313: Write about how you do your makeup/hair. Why do you do it that way?

I... mostly don't. Because I never learned to/got into the habit. If I do anything with makeup it's likely to be just translucent powder; my hair is either open, up with one of those claw things or in a braid. Ponytail, if I'm especially lazy.

365 day challenge: Day 312

Day 312: What are you grateful for?

Puppies. Yes, really. Friends and their support. My dog.

365 day challenge: Day 311

Day 311: Is there drama in your life just now with friends and/or family? Write about it.

Drama? I tend to avoid that. I mostly define it as something no one needs, not a genuine airing of feelings but scheming, conspiracies, hidden or badly veiled hatred in place of friendship or someone fucking up majorly.

I do still hate my brother, but he's a piece of shit.

365 day challenge: Day 310

Day 310: What’s the meaning behind your URL? Why did you make a Tumblr?

It... is very literal. Even my blog title refers to the same thing, except in a fictional language. It's about searching for knowledge, practical and abstract, and learning to live in a new way. To graduate from old processes.

365 day challenge: Day 309

Day 309: Write about your crush. Write anything: if you’re friends, don’t talk, it’s going great or it’s complicated.

Hm. I don't really think I have anyone I'd call that. There is someone I like but I'm mostly just ignoring the whole thing. There are people I admire but those don't count. There are people I want to get closer to... but those don't count either.

I don't know a lot about crushes, to be honest.

365 day challenge: Day 308

Day 308: Write 5 things that sum you up. Include a picture with 1 or more of these things.

Oh good lord. What do you even want from me?

1. Being in fandoms. Geekery?
2. Deep thinking, sometimes to the point of wallowing.
3. Deep attachments. To friends and things I've read/seen.
4. Loving cute animals.
5. Perfectionism.

365 day challenge: Day 307

Day 307: What are the memories you have when you think of kindergarten?

Mom coming to pick me up wearing the blue coat. Sliding down the huge slide that's no longer there. Sitting in a bush kissing friends and eating sweet flowers. Adventuring in the... gate? The high building around it, anyway. Going "swimming" in the room with the two pools, naptime, my best friend, building the same maze over and over, playing mermaids at the docks over sand, making paper... I remember a lot.

365 day challenge: Day 306

Day 306: What are the most distinct memories from preschool age and younger?

First realising I could hear my heartbeat - while trying to nap in a fort.

Or that time every single kid at the daycare (aged 0-4) got their tongues stuck to poles - except me. I came back around the house to find them all sitting in a row sulking and holding paper to their faces. Going to a farm with animals you could pet. Going swimming at a huge, warm beach.

365 day challenge: Day 305

Day 305: Which grade was your favourite? Why?

First, probably. Because I was with my best friend and everything was easy. I already knew most of it, peers were friendly and I was learning to go places on my own.

365 day challenge: Day 304

Day 304: What is your favourite kind of soup?

Uh? Mushroom? Maybe? I can't even name a specific sort of mushroom.

365 day challenge: Day 303

Day 303: Last time you were sick, what did you have?

I'm still sort of sick. It's an unidentified flu with a lot of coughing, some sneezing and minimal runny nose.

365 day challenge: Day 302

Day 302: A picture of yourself and a family member

365 day challenge: Day 301

Day 301: Who is your favourite actor/actress and why?

I don't have one. Here are some I think are worth a look for one reason or another: Viggo Mortensen, Kerry Washington, Tom Hiddleston, Lavrene Cox.

365 day challenge: Day 300

Day 300: A picture of something you wish you were better at

365 day challenge: Day 299

Day 299: A picture of someone you miss

(I'm not sure any of them would appreciate being on this blog.)

365 day challenge: Day 298

Day 298: Do you like to dress up or dress down for school

Depends on the day? Anything comfortable and practical will do, fancy or not. I try not to be the person going around in their pajamas though.

365 day challenge: Day 297

Day 297: When did you start wearing makeup?

I don't really wear makeup usually. I wore it more often in London. Mostly I just do it for parties or cosplay or interviews etc. I need to look better for.

365 day challenge: Day 296

Day 296: Create a collage of your pictures you take in 1 Day and post them up.

I can't actually transfer pictures from my camera right now, all I have is old photos from my phone?

365 day challenge: Day 295

Day 295: Things you’re looking forward to next week -month

Week? Hm. No plans yet. Month... possible livestreams. Seeing friends. Cosplay? Maybe?

365 day challenge: Day 294

Day 294: Something that inspires you

People who have been through hell and come back kinder, wiser and more patient for it. "Inspire" is still not the right word for it, but... good people. Good people who know what they're doing.
