- Tell me the 3 best things about you. I am dedicated, smart, and caring.
- Name 3 celebrities you most admire. Son Heung-Min, Alex Ovechkin, Harry Kane
- Who was your worst teacher? Why? I mostly liked my teachers, but I wasn't a big fan of my high school physics teacher. Not only was he really boring, but he also was the wrestling coach and favored the athletic kids. Plus I wasn't too fond of the HS chorus director. She also played favorites and really seemed to dislike me, but she had this weird cult of personality around her. And she was best friends with the orchestra director, so it seemed like if one was mad at you then both were. She actually led me to quit chorus, because even though I still loved to sing, I decided I just didn't wanna deal with her anymore. And then I got more time in band and orchestra, which were more fun anyway.
- Who was your favorite teacher? Why? My high school psychology teacher. She always made things fun, including a project where we got to teach tricks to pet rats to learn about classical and operant conditioning. She really helped get me interested in both psychology and rats.
- Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great? I'd like to be famous for doing something great, but mostly just among psychologist colleagues. I don't wanna have to deal with being an actual celebrity.

1. Tell me the 3 best things about you.
A. I'm intelligent in various different ways: academically (except when it comes to statistics; apparently, I suck at that), logically because I can be realistic and a critical thinker even when emotional, intra-and-inter-personally (in other words, I'm good at analyzing my own and others' character), and existentially (because I'm a deep thinker when it comes to life in general).
B. I love very deeply, which can be both good and bad, but I choose to look at it as a good thing because not many people can say the same. And I'm extremely loyal to the person I love (as long as they treat me the way I know I deserve to be treated), and because of that, I'm stubborn as fuck, and don't give up on a relationship when shit gets difficult.
C. Despite having BPD, I'm a great communicator. I can easily compromise, validate the other person's feelings, and try to put myself in their shoes and understand their point of view. I don't like to cause or participate in unnecessary arguments. I'd rather talk it out, fix shit, and meet in the middle. So as long as they're willing to do the same, it's not an issue for me.
2. Name 3 celebrities you most admire.
Davey Havok (from AFI)
Corey Taylor (from Slipknot)
Varg Vikernes (from Burzum)
3. Who was your worst teacher? Why?
My worst teacher...I'm kind of on the fence about it because I have a couple of them in mind. The one was my chemistry teacher and it was crystal clear that he hated his fucking job. He was always bitter and in a crappy mood, and just not a likeable person at all. And then there was my AP History teacher, who tried to force me to work in a group with basically all the people who constantly talked shit about me on a daily basis. So I came up to him and said I'm NOT working with them; I literally refuse to. And he took it as I wasn't taking the class seriously and told me to leave the classroom and get placed into a different history class. So I said fine, and did just that.
4. Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
This is even harder than the previous question because I had many favorites. Even though I hated school, I hated it because of the bullying. But most of the teachers I had we're actually pretty great. But my favorite has to be my senior year English teacher. He was just hilarious and I always looked forward to being in his class. He did make me present shit in front of the class, and I had social anxiety so it was difficult for me. Nevertheless, I did want to challenge myself so I could beat the anxiety and feel proud of myself, and I definitely wanted a good grade. So I did it anyway, and had an A average in his class. And then when I decided to drop out of school and get a GED only a couple months or so before graduation, my friend (she was literally the only friend I had in high school the entire time) told me that people started talking shit, like, "Why did she drop out right before graduation? That's just retarded." And my English teacher stood up for me and basically said, "That's none of your fucking business, now is it?" So I felt thankful and even tried sending him an email to let him know how much I appreciate that and respect him as a teacher.
5. Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
I'd rather be a genius. Attractiveness doesn't last anyway, and fame doesn't really appeal to me as much as learning new things. Granted, with fame, I'd probably also be rich, but money doesn't mean a damn thing if you're a complete moron. So genius it is.

Hey guys! Thanks @Innocent Forever for the tag 
Tell me the 3 best things about you.
Hmm...My humor, my patience and my creativity.
Name 3 celebrities you most admire.
Do they have to be alive? If not, I would say Mozart, Leonardo Da Vinci and Bill Gates. I know with this one would be four, but special mention for Mother Theresa.
Who was your worst teacher? Why?
In general, teachers have always treated me nicely, except once when I was in high school, and my physical education teacher just ridiculed me in front of my classmates about some personal problems I was going through. I don't hate him, it simply was very disappointing on human level, considering the role he represented
Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
My Italian teacher in junior high. I was her favorite student; she really believed in me and tried to encourage me to follow my passions (mainly writing) and to speak up more for myself, because she knew I was bullied.
Also, she gave me a cute nickname which means sweet in English. I would love to see her again.
Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
Since the first option is really unattainable, and I am already a genius of course (haha), I would love to be remembered for doing something meaningful if not for the whole world, at least for a few.

- Tell me the 3 best things about you. I like to think that people feel at ease around me. I'm extremely loyal. I'm a good mum.
- Name 3 celebrities you most admire. Eddie Izzard (British comedian and all round fabulous person), Robert Smith (lead singer of The Cure and absolute sex god), Sandy Toksvig (writer, comedian and political activist)
- Who was your worst teacher? Why? Mr Styles, my French teacher in high school. He made me the butt of all his jokes in class and every lesson I just wished a hole would swallow me up.
- Who was your favorite teacher? Why? There were two - Mrs Evans (my RE teacher in high school) because she encouraged me to come out of my shell and Mr Fry (my art teacher) because he always kept whiskey in his office and would let a few of us spend our lunch hours in there drinking it with him.
- Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great? I guess if I was a genius I'd also be able to do something great so I'll go with that one
The question didn't say it couldn't be an SF star, I wanted diversity.

- Tell me the 3 best things about you. Sense of humor and mirth, loyalty and honest, but often brutally honest. If a person ugly and stupid looking asks me how they look they will hear that. Sometimes being tactless is one of my worst attributes.
- Name 3 celebrities you most admire. Not many. I admire Gary Sinise for his veteran support work for decades. He is even an honorary US Marine. Not many folks get that honor.
- Who was your worst teacher? Why? I really can't remember much about any of my teachers, I claim senility.
- Who was your favorite teacher? Why? Same as above.
- Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great? Genius but I would rather be an anonymous one.

Cool & fun q's, my answers:
1. Tell me the 3 best things about you.
That I'm accepting, sincere and passionate.
2. Name 3 celebrities you most admire.
Mark Hamill ❤ ❤ ❤
Will Fichtner
Misha Collins
3. Who was your worst teacher? Why?
Dunno that I could pick a "worst" exactly, but I guess my pervy 8th grade English teacher, he wasn't mean most of the time or anything like that but the staring made all us 13 year old girls a bit uncomfortable to say the least. He stared at some of us more than others but ya it was pretty creepy & also obvious why he chose to be an 8th grade teacher. Yuck.
4. Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
9th grade social studies teacher cos she was by far the nicest and just kinda best teacher I ever had in all my elementary and high school years of teachers. When I told her how I had to take 3 buses to and from school each day for that semester (which was a total of 4 months cos I'd moved to a city over but was allowed to finish out the school year cos of the semester system) she seemed genuinely impressed and even like she maybe admired me. Never felt even 1% admired by ANY teacher (rarely by anyone period for that matter!) so that is something I will never forget as long as I live. She was really great imo
5. Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
Famous for doing something great cos as Witty said it would mean the most on a world scale which is more important to me than having abilities that I did nothing (or very little overall anyway) to get.

Tell me the 3 best things about you.
Genius. A high degree of intelligence or aptitude would bring me closer to liking being than the other choices. Attractiveness and personal aesthetics can be an underrated or overrated tool of influence, but charisma and magnetism is attractive in itself, not to mention more influential and more likely to get me what I want. Fame and remembrance, regardless of the reason, isn’t vital to my, well, vitality. In light of the magnitudes of presence in the universe, and the far greater expanses of absence in between, humanity and its history is negligible if not completely insignificant. Striving to be liked and famed would be a misdirection from attaining the peace and freedom that I viscerally crave.
