Lost someone special: Too many. I’ve been to a lot of funerals. 10. Been depressed: Chronic depression over here :))) 11. Gotten drunk and thrown up: Nope, I don’t drink

LIST 3 FAVORITE COLORS: 12-14: Blue, black, and either silver or gold. Which of those I like best depends on the context.

IN THE LAST YEAR HAVE YOU: 15. Made new friends:Yeah! I made some online friends, at least. I don’t think most of them consider me much of a friend, but I am happy to have them. 16. Fallen out of love: No 17. Laughed until you cried: Uhhh maybe? I don’t think I have but my memory’s shit so I could have 18. Found out someone was talking about you: I guess if anyone’s gossiped about me, they were smart enough to not let me hear about it 19. Met someone who changed you: Nah 20. Found out who your friends are: Ehhh any drama I had with friends was mostly just me taking slight to stupid shit, not anything serious that actually tested any friendships.

21. Kissed someone on your Facebook list: Well yeah since James is friends with me on there 22. How many of your Facebook friends do you know in real life: Most people tbh. I don’t really add online friends very often. 23. Do you have any pets: My cat Samoa and betta Maui here, then my two calico girls Kia and Autumn at Mom’s. 24. Do you want to change your name: I used to want to change my name to Melanie or Melissa as a kid tbh but after a while I just accepted my name. Idek what I’d change it to but it wouldn’t feel right. The closest I’ve come is having friends call me Al. 25. What did you do for your last Birthday: Laid on the couch sick as a fucking dog watching TV as I drifted in and out of consciousness. Yaaay happy 25th! 26. What time did you wake up: 10-ish? 27.

It wasn’t even much of a day, I think I was just hungover from a full weekend of socializing. 28. Name something you can’t wait for: uhhhhhhhhh I don’t think there’s anything particular I’m excited for. I don’t get hyped for games or movies anymore cuz I don’t have money to drop $60 on a game and movie theaters freak me out (anxiety) 29. When was the last time you saw your mom: Yesterday evening when she was dropping me off in Van Wert for James and his dad to drive me back home 30. What is one thing you wish you could change in your life: Only one? My anxiety. At the very least, it would get rid of my eating issues, I could hold a job once I got my strength back, etc. I can live with the depression, but I feel like everything would be more tolerable if my anxiety didn’t stop my body from taking care of itself or working right. 31. What are you listening right now: I WAS listening to Philip DeFranco but tbh that was just white noise for me, I didn’t pay attention much to the issues he was discussing. It just ended. 32. Have you ever talked to a person named Tom: Yeah, my friend’s ex. I cussed him out over the phone. Then he had his mom and sister cuss ME out lmao what a fucking coward 33. Something that is getting on your nerves: Hmmm nothing at the moment. But that can easily change. 34. Most visited Website: Tumblr because I always come back out of the hopes of finding something new to look at every few minutes 35. Mole/s: Yeah, some. I have one under my right boob that I’ve had since I was little, I have a birth mark on my right elbow that’s like a mole, and then I have little moles on my legs and a couple on my stomach? 36. Mark/s: Yeah, a couple scars if that’s what you mean. I have a vertical scar on uhh my right shin I think, and then I have a scar on my upper lip. 37. Childhood dream: First I wanted to own a zoo, then I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then I realized I can’t handle the nasty parts of working with animals like shit and blood and stuff. So then I just didn’t really have a dream aside from maybe making a comic. But I gave up on that. 38. Haircolor: Dark brown 39. Long or short hair: Medium 40. Do you have a crush on someone: Idk I don’t consider it a crush if you’re in a relationship with them 41. What do you like about yourself: :)))) 42. Piercings: None and no intentions of getting them 43. Bloodtype: No fucking clue. In 8th grade we tried to do an experiment to find everyone’s blood type but my fingers are small and the rooms were cold and I have bad circulation so my teacher lanced me twice before deciding I wasn’t going to get a proper drop of blood to test and he was scared of bruising me cuz I guess I seem like the type to sue. So I never learned. Idek if Mom knows. 44. Nickname: Al, Sharkie 45. Relationship status: Taken 46. Zodiac: Capricorn 47. Pronouns: She/her 48. Favorite TV Show: uhhh idk I don’t do well picking faves I guess Bob’s Burgers 49. Tattoos: None and probably will never have any. If I did, it would be a watercolor style one of a flower that reminds me of a loved one. 50. Right or left hand: Right 51. Surgery: None 52. Hair dyed in different color: Nope. I want to get some blue in my hair but neither my budget nor my Mom seem thrilled about that so it will probably never happen. It’s expensive and time-consuming to safely bleach my hair. 53. Sport: Idk I played soccer in 4th grade but hated it, then I was on a bowling league for 6 years. But I ain’t played sports in 8 years. 54. (question wasn’t here) ...:D 55. Vacation: Like a dream vacation? Idk travel stresses me out too much for me to get excited about going anywhere outside my house. 56. Pair of trainers: wh...what? Like shoes?

MORE GENERAL: 57. Eating: Fried stuff yeee 58. Drinking: Coke, bottled tea, water, uh...fuck idk 59. I’m about to: smack my head against a wall for my brain being made of cotton 62. Want: security 63. Get married: I have no idea tbh I want to be with James the rest of my life but ceremonies suck. I also have issues of commitment in the way of “Oh god what if it doesn’t work out and then it hurts that much more cuz then he’s not just an ex, he’s an ex-husband?” And if James and I did split, I highly doubt I’d get married. I don’t even have an interest in dating. 64. Career: Fuck a career, I just want an income. I have no illusions of having a job you could call a career.

WHICH IS BETTER 65. Hugs or kisses: Hugs 66. Lips or eyes: Eyes 67. Shorter or taller: Kinda weird but it seems like the women I’m interested in I prefer same height or shorter, but men I prefer taller 68. Older or younger: Same age. I don’t have an interest in anyone over a year younger than me, and I just can’t wrap my mind around dating someone older than my brother so no one more than 2 years older than me. 70. Nice arms or nice stomach: idk I don’t care about either 71. Sensitive or loud: Sensitive indicates to me that they’re touchy and I don’t do well with that, but I don’t like loud people either so...they both suck I guess? I can’t be around sensitive people who take things too personally, but I also fucking hate loud assholes. 72. Hook up or relationship: Relationship, I don’t fuck people I don’t know well. 73. Troublemaker or hesitant: I guess hesitant since a constant troublemaker would get fucking annoying.

HAVE YOU EVER: 74. Kissed a Stranger: No 75. Drank hard liquor: No 76. Lost glasses/contact lenses: No 77. Turned someone down: Yes 78. Sex on the first date: No 79. Broken someone’s heart: I wouldn’t call it breaking his heart, but I did break up with a guy and he was upset for a little while. He got over it. I’d say it was a dent if anything, we were only together a couple months. 80. Had your heart broken: Not really but I never put myself out there to get it broken either 81. Been arrested: No 82. Cried when someone died: Well duh 83. Fallen for a friend: Yes, hard, but I got over it eventually

DO YOU BELIEVE IN: 84. Yourself: nah 85. Miracles: nah 86. Love at first sight: nah 87. Santa Claus: nah 88. Kiss on the first date: Depends on the date LMAO James and I technically kissed on our first date but I’d also known him for years and already had feelings for him. If I went out and dated some rando, no, no kiss. Kisses are commitments.

OTHER: 90. Current best friend name: Uhm...A tie between Abby and Katie. They’re both always there for me and have been my friends for the past like 12 years. They’re reliable and sweet and supportive and I fucking love them like sisters. 91. Eyecolor: My eyes? Brown 92. Favorite movie: Aladdin

idk if you're still oversharing but tell me the history of all the pets you ever had pls

oh totally. i’ll overshare with you any day, especially when it comes to my pets!

when i was a really little girl, we had a tabby named sudi (after the phil collins song sussudio) and a white cat named luna. i actually don’t remember much about luna because she died when i was a wee baby, but sudi was kinda mean. skittish and not really up for a lot of attention, which was a shame because my two sisters and i really wanted to give her lots of love.

after sudi got sick and passed away, we got a calico named abby. we actually found her at a home and garden show. the apl had a display there, and i got stuck in front of this particular cat’s cage and wouldn’t leave. that, of course, attracted my sisters’ attention, and we went home with a cat. abby was also kind of standoffish – she’d disappear whenever someone new came to our house. but she really loved my aunt for whatever reason. she made the move with us from our first house, to an apartment, to my parents’ current home, but then eventually went into kidney failure. she was pretty resilient and stuck around for a long time, but we had to keep her isolated in a crate and give her lots of meds.

shortly after we’d settled into my parents’ current home, we found spencer – another tabby. he lived on a golf course across the street from one of my older sister’s friend’s houses, and i don’t remember exactly how he came to live with us. what i do remember is that my mom made his being able to stay contingent on him learning to use the cat door to the basement where we kept the litter boxes, so my sisters and i spent a concentrated afternoon training him with plenty of treats and pats. spencer was by far our friendliest cat at that point. very affectionate. liked pretzels and sleeping in my little sister’s bed. he’s still around, but he’s had kitty cancer for awhile. so he’s not in the best health.

i think our dogs – charlie and tessa – came next. my mom did a lot of research about hypoallergenic dogs and decided we’d get labradoodles. i remember we had dentist appointments before we were scheduled to meet with the breeder, who had two puppies left, and my mom was very stern with us girls about how we were only going to bring home ONE dog. when we got there, charlie was very outgoing and spent time with each of us, while tessa hid – scared as hell – under the table. it was actually my dad who asked for both, ahaha. i want to say they’re about 13 or 14 now.

next, my sister went to college – two different ones in fact – and came home with a cat from each. cali and mason. zoey came from her job at a vet clinic – she had one eye swollen shut but they were able to revive her. finn is also from the clinic. he came from a litter someone just dumped on the front steps. all these cats still live with my parents and aren’t really MINE, but i love them anyway.

which brings me to oliver! he did live at my parents’ house for several years before i got my own cat-friendly place. (he’s emotionally scarred from living with my mother for too long - just like me…i can tell because he fuckin scatters every time he hears her voice. my bby). ANYWAY, my little sister is actually the one who brought oliver home. she, and one of my friends from high school, found him on a farm. a couple of assholes were going to shoot him just to get rid of him, but my lil sis saved him.oliver’s a tabby. he so soft and pretty much scared constantly (we’re trying some anxiety meds for him atm actually) and i’m the only person he’s cool with 100% of the time. i love that little guy with all my heart.

we rescued buffy, our tiny little calico bby, from my older sister’s clinic too. she tested positive for FIV and those cats aren’t usually easy to adopt out, so my sister called me. john and i visited her and immediately fell in love. she was our first cat together and – damn i’m tearing up writing this because i still miss her so much – we were devastated when we found out she had some aggressive form of kitty leukemia that had spread to several organs only a year and a half after getting her. i mean, we knew she was gonna have a slightly shorter lifespan than most cats, but we were just not prepared for that news. the last month of her life was really challenging, watching her appetite slip away and her body take the toll of the illness. we buried her with her favorite toy ball in john’s parents’ yard.

finally, we adopted anya from an old classmate, who decided to foster a litter of four kittens. she reached out to us a few months after we put buffy down, and john and i decided that the timing was just fine. anya’s white with black spots, she REALLY likes food (she’s getting chubby, it’s adorable), and she’s super playful. her and oliver get along just fine, but she’d definitely more rambunctious than him so she gets on his nerves sometimes. but they snuggle in sunbeams and play a lot.

ask me stuff!! let me overshare!!!

#whew #talk about overshare #i'm gonna go cry about buffy in the bathroom at work now bye #soulfulspikethekiller #replies #ask me stuff!!
