First, tell us your name and age.
Amy, and I'm older then dirt. Kidding, kidding. I'm 26.
Is there something you'd like to tell whoever might be reading this?
Hai.
Where are you from and where do you live?
I'm from New Jersey by the shore, but currently live in the frozen wasteland that is upstate New York.
What are your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?
The artimator.
Nah, I don't really have a swanky nickname.
What books on your shelf are begging to be read?
Introduction to logic, Henry Hudson and the Algonquins of New York, Modoc, The 14th Dalai Lama, Rebecca, Stuck Rubber Baby...the list kinda goes on.
I'll be dead before I read everything.
Oh and the book I love guinea pigs , because I apparently am a five year old.
How often do you doodle? What do your doodles look like?
My note taking consists of drawing doodles.
They are a confusing, beautiful mess.
What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive?
I make tea and stalk the Facebook.
How many days could you last in solitary confinement? How would you do it?
A long time, though I would probably pull a Tom Hanks from survivor and make friends with the wall stain and a few rocks.
Do you save old greeting cards and letters? Throw them away?
Yes.
When making an entrance in to a party, do you make your presence known? Do you slip in and look for someone you know? Do you sneak in quietly and find a safe spot to roost?
I don't go to parties, but when coaxed in via work or promise of delicious food, I tend to find people I know.
What is your strongest sense? If you had to give one up, which would it be?
I don't know, smell I suppose. Or hunger. If I had too I would give up taste.
How many times a day do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Usually once, unless I have to leave the apartment.
What is the strangest thing you believed as a child?
If you dig deep enough, you will uncover roads. Thats how roads are made.
What is one guilty pleasure you enjoy too much to give up?
Coffee.
Who performs the most random acts of kindness out of everyone you know?
My mother. She goes above and beyond for stray cats and the elderly.
How often do you read the newspaper? Which paper? Which sections?
People still read those?
Which animals scare you most? Why?
A bull elephant in Musk or baboons. Why? Just go google that nonsense.
Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?
I'm a passive sack of oats, I avoid conflict when possible.
What was the most recent compliment you’ve received and savored?
"Your beard is luxurious." -Friends playing baldur's gate
What is something about yourself that you hope will change, but probably never will?
My work habits and anxiety.
Are you a creature of habit? Explain.
Yes, but I can be more amorphous when forced.
Are you high maintenance? Explain.
Nope. I'm a minimalist.
When was the last time you really pushed yourself to your physical limits?
Recently stayed up for two days straight due to medical related reasons, but I routinely stay up late to finish work.
Do you have a whole lot of acquaintances or just a few very close friends? Why?
I have a few very close friends, but I do have a lot of online acquaintances.
Are you more inclined to “build your own empire” or unleash the potential of others?
I'm more of a support role kind of gal, not very ambitious, maybe third in command of said Empire.
What’s a strange thing that happens to you but you have never (or rarely) shared with anyone?
I recently discovered I have raynaud's syndrome, which makes some of my toes turn stark white in cold weather. Usually, I don't bring up my feet into a conversation, so not many really knew this. Now you all know my toe's dirty secret.
What do you think about more than anything else?
Honestly, death.
That's some heavy stuff there.
Or guinea pigs, I love them.
What’s something that amazes you?
The fact that we have been to friggen space.
Do you prefer that people shoot straight with you or temper their words? Why?
I have no preference. Usually, people's actions share more then anything they could say.
Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest
.....Into a game of baldur's gate of course!
No really I have no idea, we don't get guests up here!
What’s one thing you’d rather pay someone to do than do yourself? Why?
My taxes. I'm no good with numbers.
Do you have a catchphrase?
No, but I want one.
How and where do you prefer to study?
Somewhere public where I can't slack off or feel comfortable. I focus better when I'm avoiding conversations.
What position do you sleep in?
Belly with my head under the pillow.
What’s your all-time favorite town or city? Why?
Burlington VT, it's beautiful there.
What are the top three qualities that draw you to someone new?
Are they not a jerk? Are they interesting? How do they feel about guinea pigs?
If they pass those they are in.
How has your birth order/characteristics of siblings affected you?
Not well and yet really well.
(Cryptic, I know.)
If you could eliminate one weakness or limitation in your life, what would it be?
Anxiety.
If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?
When I was seven I wanted to be called Kelly, so I guess that.
Do you believe ignorance is bliss? Why or why not?
Yes, but curiosity always pulls me in.
What do you consider unforgivable?
Abuse of the mentally ill or pets.
Have you forgiven yourself for past personal failures? Why or why not?
Nope, I'm pretty bad at letting go of things.
How difficult is it for you to forgive someone who refuses to apologize?
Pretty difficult.
Do you hold any convictions that you would be willing to die for?
Yes.
To what extent do you trust people? Explain.
I'm trusting all of you with this amazing information, so there is that.
In what area of your life are you immature?
I watch children cartoons when I'm down. Oh and when I'm near cute animals.
How difficult is it for you to be honest, even when your words may be hurtful or unpopular?
Pretty easy, though I try to be tactful in delivery.
When did you immediately click with someone you just met? Why? What was the long term result? Conversely, are you close with anyone now that you really disliked at first?
My fiance, I clicked with him on our first date and you can guess how that turned out.
I hated my best friend when we first met in elementary school, now I would much give my life for that gal.
When do you find yourself singing?
I don't really.
