[Baywasp]

How did you come up with your username for SF?

I put the word "bay" because I used to love walking along the San Francisco bay when I lived near there. I added "wasp" just because it sounded good. Maybe a bit like Baywatch or something, idk.

Something like a milkshake, or jasmine green bubble tea.

Travel probably.

In the summer I have my independent study and my first practicum (internship-type thing). Don't know where I'm doing my practicum, but it should be cool

What is a date that holds significance for you, and why?

March 20th. Initially it was a bad day for me because that was the day I tried to kill myself in 2012, but then a few years later, it was also the day I got my first testosterone injection to start my medical transition (2014) So it started off negative and turned positive

Would you rather trade intelligence for looks or looks for intelligence? Guess at my age, intelligence.

Have you ever had a nickname? What is it? One of them is Peanuthead. lol

What is the best gift you have been given? Friendship and love.

What is the worst gift you have received? I don't know if there's been a worst. They all seem useful in some ways.

[Nick]

Well, I'll give this a go.

Who is your hero?
Strongest person I know. I would say they know who they are, but they probably don't.

What was the last movie you went to? What did you think?
Oh dear, um what year would that have even been? I think I went to the movies back in 2012? No idea what movie it was.

What would you sing at Karaoke night?
In public? I wouldn't. eh.

Do you like or dislike surprises? Why or why not?
This truly depends on the surprise. I like little surprises. Things in the mail. A phone call. Small things. You throw a party or just show up at my door, and I'm less fond of that (I said that really nicely). If you are one of two people who could show up at my door, because a third couldn't possibly, and you show up I'm going to not kill you once I get over the initial loss of ability to breathe.

Have you ever had a nickname? What is it?
I've had a few. Canary (not so into that one). Duck, which um well is where the avatar came from. Flower, which I don't really get called anymore be in some ways miss despite it being somewhat feminine. I had a few others way way back, but we'll let those rest.

What is the best gift you have been given?
Love - A gift I didn't earn and don't deserve but is given anyway.

What is the worst gift you have received?
Floral napkins, I still have them. I will use them to clean up cat vomit most likely.

Would you rather trade intelligence for looks or looks for intelligence?
Looks for intelligence. Personal choice, to each their own. I'd rather be able to figure out the puzzles of the world than have looks. My looks aren't great, but it isn't my face that prevents relationships anyway.

 

[1964dodge]

thank you @britishbloke for opening the café...mike...

 

[1964dodge]

I would trade looks for inteligence

..mike

 

[1964dodge]

don’t want this misread.
already having neither suits me fine.

I don't know about your looks but I know you have intelligence...mike...

 

[dandelions]

I don't know about your looks but I know you have intelligence...mike...

you are confusing cerebral chaos with intelligence Mike. it may appear complex but is just extensive chaos. its nice that its being misread this way, but its clearly chaos.

 

[JMG]

Cool & fun q's, don't think I was tagged (if I was I didn't get a notification anyway) but def. want to answer (most) of these q's so here's my answers

Who is your hero? Mark Hamill ❤

What was the last movie you went to? What did you think? In theaters? Little Women. It was ok I guess, kinda depressing though.

What would you sing at Karaoke night? Not sure on this one sorry, never done karaoke and not sure if I ever would either...

Do you like or dislike surprises? Why or why not? Depends on what kind it is, but if it is a nice/good one then sure, otherwise no thanks lol.

Have you ever had a nickname? What is it? Just the shorter version of my name, rather not say it on the open forums sorry.

What is the best gift you have been given? Money lol esp. over the last 9 years.

What is the worst gift you have received? An extremely fugly purse/bag thing from my friend when I was 7. I pretended I liked it but really did not lol.

Would you rather trade intelligence for looks or looks for intelligence? Intelligence for looks, definitely.

How did you come up with your username for SF? It's not a remotely interesting story sorry it's just my initials.

What's your favourite drink? Root beer

If you had all the money you could possibly need/want, what would you do with it? Ohh fun one!
First, I'd go on a SERIOUS shopping spree and get all the most awesome, beautiful dresses and clothes money can buy.

Then I'd go to California to the redwood forest where part of Return of the Jedi was filmed, then to San Francisco to go over the golden gate bridge, then to Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, then to the Hollywood walk of fame to see Mark Hamill's star.

I'd also want to go to the grand canyon after that (would have a VERY excellent camera & take the best (or at least most interesting) pix there.

Then go to London to the wax museum (forget the name of it but would look it up before going of course lol) to see the wax sculpture of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi & pay the people there whatever price they wanted (within reason lol) so I could bring it home with me lol. Would also give some money to my family & friend and donate some to a charity too.

What would be your ideal way to spend the weekend? Basically what I said above. If that was maybe too many things to do in 1 weekend & I could only pick one of them it would be all the things in California I mentioned lol.

What's the luckiest thing that's ever happened to you, or recently? Seeing Star Wars and realizing there's a man as perfect as Mark Hamill on this planet ❤ ❤ ❤

What are you looking forward to most in the coming months? Celebrating my sweet perfect lil angel kitten's 1st bday next month, the clocks going ahead on Sunday, reading, whenever I see my sis again, whenever I watch Star Wars again, hopefully dropping the extra pounds I need to lose and if some other things were to somehow happen then believe me I'd be looking forward to them too but I don't know if they will or not so I guess it's just pretty uncertain, oh well could be worse.

What is a date that holds significance for you, and why? September 25 cos that is Mark Hamill's bday ❤

 

[BlueGreen]

What is the worst gift you have received?
My husband took me for a weekend away to an old people's home once. And another time he bought me paving slabs. Hmmmm... I was tempted to bury him under them.

OMG and WTAF!!! Wow, those are seriously bad! *oh
