Silly questions for fun
inspired by Sylvia's post of these. og by dabi
Sylvia, I also LOVE The Good Place, was delighted to learn of the e project, and here is an alternate 418 teapot citation
1. Do you believe in aliens?
Life as No One Knows It suggests that "alien" life is life that has a different evolutionary history than ours (a different origin story), and that our first encounter with "alien" life will be in a chemistry lab on Earth.
I believe there is alien life. Whether there is sentient alien life? shrug idunno, could be.
2. If you have to dress in just one color for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Purple, but i'd need to think about it first. Black might be more practical.
3. Favorite random fact that you know.
Some Black Bears are brown.
(I had already written this other answer so I'm leaving it)
When your osteoclasts make new bone, osteocalcin is released, and this hormone helps with brain function. As a result, osteoporosis can cause mental decline due to a shortage of osteocalcin.
I have Osteopenia, so maybe that's not random, but I read it in Move, which I did not expect to talk about osteoporosis.
4. Childhood dream.
To be an Olympic swimmer. I was quite good, but I couldn't go to swim practice any more after the parents separated. Later, I wanted to maybe be a lawyer, to help people, but somebody told me that's not what lawyers do. They were wrong, and I'm sad they said that. I'm not sure it made any difference, though. My life fell apart for other reasons.
5. If you have to be a teacher, which subject would you teach?
Coding? It's my expertise, but no. Civics, social studies, politics. Math, maybe cuz I've always been good at that.
Repair. I'd wanna teach repair classes. (but I have limited repair skills)
6. If you were an astronaut going to the space, which items would you bring with you?
A couple stuffies I really like, but not my main bears because I'd be so sad if I somehow lost them in space. My main bears would need to habitate with my bestie.
7. Only being able to run, or only being able to walk?
I can just run slow, yeah? Or walk fast? I'll take walking.
If I walk too fast and accidentally start a run, do I explode? Or is it just physically impossible for that to happen? Strange.
8. Favorite letter?
q, probably. q and queue are pronounced the same. queue is a crazy fuckin word
9. A memorable song that had impacted you in any way?
Pistol by Dustin Kensrue. Learned the chords on guitar for my high school girlfriend. I'm not sure it's had a lasting effect, but it's one of the most memorable for me.
While I often appreciate the message in songs, most of my listening is for vibes.
10. Favorite celestial body (Planets, stars, constellation, galaxies, etc)
Earth, easy. I know that's probably boring and lame, but LOOK HOW FUCKING BEAUTIFUL THIS PLANET IS. LOOK AT HOW LUCKY WE ARE. WE GET TO EXIST AND HAVE AIR AND TOMATOES AND POTATOES AND candy. Fuck I want gummies. I've been craving gummies recently.
