Well this is fucking fantastic.

Somehow my glasses are missing a screw, so the right lense popped out. All I know is that we need to get this fixed today, cause I can’t see shit. (I’m typing this with my right eye closed to make it somewhat easier to see. Certainly cannot fucking drive like this — hmm..I do have my old glasses, but it’s a different prescription so that would probably make my eyes feel awkward)

6. What kind of people are you attracted to?
See this post: http://jacnoc.tumblr.com/post/48970990678/30-day-challenge-day-26-what-kind-of-person-attracts

9. Does talking about sex make you uncomfortable?
I suppose. Definitely if it was with my parents it absolutely would. 

12. What are your 5 favorite songs right now?
 I’m just going to do my top 5 most played songs on iTunes.

  1. Cygnus X-1 by Rush (10 minutes)
  2. Rubber Biscuit by The Blues Brothers
  3. Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres: Prelude/Apollo Bringer of Wisdom/Dion by Rush (18 minutes)
  4. La Villa Strangiato by Rush
  5. Video Game Books by Hank Green

17. Do you think there is life on other planets?
I suppose? I’m not really sure. We don’t have proof/evidence of it so it’s hard to say (by the way, when I think of this question I think of intelligent life like…human intelligence…or smarter).

22. Where would you like to travel?
Some places listed on my bucket list page include: Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, road trip across the US to visit all 49 states (can’t drive to Hawaii), and road trip across Canada to visit all the provinces. (I’m a big fan of long drives. You get beautiful scenery, and there’s just something about being on the open road that’s relaxing).

35. Would you rather live without TV or music?
I don’t really watch TV. (Yay YouTube) I really only watch local news, sports (Football and Hockey), The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report). So let’s go with TV.

44. Trip to outer space or bottom of the ocean?
Hmm…well, going to the bottom of the ocean is probably safer than going out into space (there’s always that minuscule chance you’ll burn up on re-entry). Space would be cooler because you’ll be all…floaty. I’ll just go with the safety factor and say ocean.

86. Favourite character from Finding Nemo?
DORY! She’s great. Also, who doesn’t like Ellen? Ellen is a wonderful human being that does good things!

118. Do you like Chinese food?
Sure. Now obviously I’ve never had “authentic” Chinese food because I’ve never been to China. But I like “Americanized Westernized Chinese food”. There’s a really great (somewhat pricey) restaurant in this area. http://stircrazy.com/

148. What’s your favourite quote?
 I don’t really have a favourite, but the the quotes that I have listed as ‘favourite quotes’ on my Facebook profile are:

  • “So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.” -John Green, Looking for Alaska
  • “IT’S NOT MY FAULT THAT MY PARENTS OWN THE WORLD’S LARGEST COLLECTION OF BLACK SANTAS.” -John Green, Paper Towns
  • “As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” -John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
  • “That’s the thing about pain…it demands to be felt.” -John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
  • “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.” -John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

149. Do you believe in ghosts?
Honestly, no. 

Switching my phone to show the weather in Celsius was the best decision I ever made (for the record, it’s been about 2 weeks).

Whenever someone [in the family] asks “what’s the weather supposed to be tomorrow” I answer [in Celsius] and it irritates/annoys them.

It’s pretty great. :) (I am such an ass)

P.S. It’s actually been surprising, how easy it is to switch to Celsius. Occasionally I do convert to Fahrenheit (sorry), but it’s really only when someone asks me what the weather is going to be. Stubborn Americans! Oh well…I feel like I’m making myself a better human being, so that’s got to count for something, right?

So, I was hesitant to read The Great Gatsby because whenever John Green talks about it, I dunno, it just doesn’t sound that interesting. *waits for the mass unfollows and hate messages* But since they’ve made it into a movie I kinda feel obligated now. So about a week or two ago I was going to pick it up and read it, when I saw that my brother had written in it when he read it for school. 

When I saw it had been written it, I was like, nope. Not reading this copy. That’ll be too distracting. Also, it pains me and makes me feel disgusted when people write in or highlight books because I see it as destruction and vandalism. I don’t really think anyone but myself understands what I’m talking about. 

I don’t even like people touching/reading the books that I own because they can get torn and bent too easily, because they’re paper. 

For the record, I was also going to read The Book Thief (I wasn’t going to until I read the back and found out it takes place in WWII times) but again..the writing. So now I’ll just wait until I have the money to spend on the ebook version I guess (don’t hate me for using ebooks please. They’re more portable, take up less space, and you can carry them around easier).
