Listicle

 

   Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today, I present to you a listicle! I hope you enjoy my answers to these random questions!!!

 

  • If each person had a warning label, what would yours say?

     If each person had a warning label, I’m almost positive mine would be “WARNING: Will Not Stop Talking.” I’m just kidding, but not really. Probably not when I first met you, but after a little, I could talk and talk to you all day. I just love having conversations with people. You can find out so many interesting things about people when you talk to them. My absolute favorite type of talking is any time after midnight. Late night talks just hit so differently. If anybody ever needs someone to talk to, I’m here.

 

  • What’s the best way you’ve found to calm yourself when you get stressed?

As a teenager living in this day and age, especially during a global pandemic, I find myself feeling stressed or overwhelmed a little too much. At least more than I’d care to admit anyway. When I’m feeling stressed, my favorite way to calm myself is by watching movies. Watching movies is a unique experience every time. It’s so cool to truly just forget your worries for an hour or two, and to get lost in a good film. Either that, or listening to The Weeknd. You could never go wrong with listening to The Weeknd.

 

  • Is time currently passing quickly or slowly for you?

     Well, currently I’m quarantined in my house because there’s a global pandemic. It’s been over two months that I have been contained inside of my house, haven’t been to school, and haven’t seen my friends. It could definitely be a lot worse though, which is why I’m eternally grateful that my family is safe and healthy. I would say currently, it depends on the day. Some days I feel like I blink and the day is over, while others I feel have been dragging on forever.

 

  • What do you think people pretend to like when they really don’t?

     One thing that I genuinely think people pretend to like is pineapple pizza. I don’t know, maybe I’m the odd one here and everyone actually does like it, but personally, I just don’t understand the appeal. Come on guys, are we just pretending? I’m asking for a friend.

 

  • Without saying the category, what are your top four?

     Damien Chazelle

     Bong Joon-ho

     Greta Gerwig     

     Christopher Nolan

 

  • What do you secretly hoard?

     I secretly hoard notes, letters, and tickets. I have this little box and whenever someone writes me a note or a letter, or I get a ticket for a football game, movie or concert, it always goes in the box. I’m not really sure why or when I started doing this, but I’ve been doing it for a while. I feel like the only reason behind this that would make sense is that I want to cherish the memories attached to them. Yeah, that’s it. That’s all I’ve got.

 

  • If you were going to start your own business/company, what would it be?

     This is a difficult question because I mean… What isn’t there these days? If I was going to start my own business, it’d probably be some type of movie rental service. I feel like that would be pretty cool and useful. Either that or a fast-food pasta type service. I recently read a GQ interview featuring Robert Pattinson, where he described his genius idea to create some type of fast-food pasta. Honestly, as a major pasta-enthusiast, I think that’s brilliant. Robert, if you need a collaborator, email me. I think your idea is innovative.

 

  • Where is the strangest place you have fallen asleep?

     The strangest place that I have fallen asleep is on airport seats. This isn’t that strange because I feel like others could probably relate, but it’s still pretty odd. Although I don’t do it as often anymore, (probably because I slurp down iced coffees while waiting for my flight), I always used to lay a jacket down and just nap when I was younger. 

 

  • What have you been thinking about lately that has kept you up at night?

     Lately, I’ve been staying up until the late hours of the night just thinking. My mind just dashes from thought to thought. The thought that has been keeping me up most is my future. I’m beyond excited for high school and even college, but I can’t lie, I’m very nervous too. I feel like that’s been on my mind the most. Also, that one scene in Inception where they’re in the hallway. I often think about that too.  Very often, actually.

 

     As always, thank you so much for reading my post! Comment down below the answer to any of these questions! Please stay safe and healthy!!
