2: Talk about your first kiss.
Okay, here is the ultra cheesy story. I was 17, just graduated from high school, and my then online boyfriend flew out to visit me. We’d been dating online for 2 years by that point, and we met in person – for the first time!!! – two days before our anniversary of becoming a couple. Anyway, picking him up at the airport, we were both super shy.
And it stayed that way the whole trip UNTIL!!!! we went on our ePIC ROMANTIC DATE for our anniversary, and then I dropped him off at his hotel room after (and did NOT go in the room because that was so against the rules), and he hugged me to say goodbye and then just… touched my chin and tilted my head up and kissed me and it was ultra magical and I was shaking and my legs were weak and I buried my face against him and the asked if he could kiss me again and it was just – ahh <3
We finally did say goodnight, though, and I went home all sorts of stupid happy.
btw I married him 3 years later and we’ve been happily together ever since.
17: Talk about someone you want to be friends with.
Oh gosh. Do they have to be a person living today? Because I would love to hang out with Mark Twain or Walt Disney and just like talk about all of the things. Or do you mean the qualifications that I look for in a friend? People who are passionate and understand that flaws do not make a person bad, they just make someone INTERESTING.
IDK I make friends with most people that I meet because I love people usually… uhm… There are some people that I wish would notice me, sure, but I am way too shy to name names.
18: Talk about something that happened in elementary school.
My birthday is at the end of August – the 28th, specifically – and the cutoff date for the year is September 1st for schools in the area. So I just barely squeaked by and was the youngest of everyone in class. And because I freaking love dogs and horses and am totally demi and wasn’t with my typical age group talking about how hot guys were without their shirts on (omg why would you have a poster of that in your room ugh), my parents thought that I should be held back a year. Immaturity or something.
Anyway, they gave me all of these tests to see if they could hold me back but alas, I was TOO SMART and the school board determined that it would be detrimental to make me retake 2nd grade so I continued to not relate to my peers for the rest of my school career. My friends were almost always either a lot younger or a lot older than I was… and I always had more male friends than female. SHRUGS.
24: Talk about something someone told you that meant a lot.
Once upon a time, I went to a week-long writing conference and was an author assistant and it was fantastic. Part of the time involved critiques, though, by said author and the classmates, and even I had to submit some writing. Most of the comments on my piece were very positive, but there was debate about whether it should be classified as YA or MG, given the story elements inherent in my outline. It was a good critique, but for some reason it dissolved into an argument amongst the class about whether I’d portrayed the male protagonist well enough (or if he seemed too girly), and finally one person said “Don’t listen to them; I think it’s fantastic and I would go buy a copy right now if I could, AND I’d want my son read it because the writing is so spot on.”
I mean, everyone’s comments were valid and they are certainly entitled to their own opinion, but that totally made my week.
