human-pers0n is attempting to recalibrate...

10/27/24

I found some of those little cute surveys that used to go around on the early social media days. I miss doing them.
They were a fun way to pass the time and I liked reading friends' answers. :)
Obviously, I had to do one. This one is so goofy... Why do they use the word "side" (NTS format this correctly and put it in a scrolling txtbox when ur not lazy and tired)

The BASICS:
Name: Abby
Nicknames: Abigoid, Goid, Peep, Peepler, Cob, basically any strange title my friends come up with in the moment...
Screen name[s]: multiple variations of humanperson... and some others Id like to keep seperate from neocities :}
Age: 27..gross
Sex: Femalien
Location: Earth I fear
Birthday: December 17th Zodiac sign: Saggitarius Hospital where you were born: I was born in a bed of thorns and thrashed my way out like a warrior Nationality: Baldurian Height: Was told I was 5'7" and 5'9", so let's say I'm 5'8". Hair Color: Perpetually black Eye Color: Green Siblings: I'm the middle goober of 3 Hobbies: Art (mostly traditional drawing, some digital, some crafty stuff on the side), video games, finding music like a little music-loving raccoon, baking/cooking, finding cafes to sit at and imagine what id do better, Neocities/learning to code (duh), and lets be real, getting high as fuck The "CRUSH" Side: When and who was your 1st crush?: My earliest fictional crush was either Aladdin, the Yellow wiggle, or the mailman clown from Big Comfy Couch. IRL, it was this kid named Travis who I thought was cute. I had no other reason to like him. He's a brony now What do you first notice about the opposite sex [looks alone]?: That depends on the person entirely because everyone is attractive in different ways. I generally look at style. Your idea of a perfect date: If Im in a staying in mood, playing a bunch of video games together and drinking/smoking. If I'm in a going out mood... Probably going to an artsy city w/ lively nightlife and just walking around finding cute/unique shops, good food, coffee etc. Maybe hit up a classy bar. Its all just for vibe and aesthetics, the conversation is what makes it. How romantic are you? [1-10]: I feel like I'm a solid 6.5. I am much more affectionate than romantic. Biggest turn-on: Dorky, nerdy, funny Ideal girl/guy: Alien, purple skin, suction fingers, calls me incomprehensible affectionate nicknames in his native tongue ❍︎⍓︎ ♒︎□︎❍︎♏︎ The PAST Side Memory [thing] you miss most: Memory thing? Memory/thing? I think I just miss feeling excited by everything, like the world was my oyster. Emo alert now it sort of feels like a super cushy prison. If you could go back in time, where would you go?: To the start of a Florida vacation I had with all my friends. Thing that you regretted doing after you had done it: Nobody wants to air out their worst regrets online. But one of mine is not spending more time with my mom before she died. Memory you would like to forget: I don't want to forget any memories. I wouldnt want the Inside Out cleaners to throw away any more orbs. But if they can get rid of certain information (the memory of learning it?), I'd have a document ready. TV show you wish they would re-air again: Idc about that cause we have easy access now but to update the question Id love some remakes of things. I'd love to see a modern Teen Titans (Not Teen Titans Go) and for anime I'd love a remake of Angel Beats with a proper budget. The FUTURE Side Occupation: Lets not talk about it Dream Car: Black, functions, decent gas mileage, superior sound system, seat heater, cd player. Whatever fits that bill. Marriage: One guy and whatever parasites he may have Kids: No, just cats and frogs Future son's name: Frogmeat Future daughter's name: Mewpy Honeymoon: Staying in some cozy Japanese Inn with an onsen, looking for nerdy merch, museums, being fatasses Where will you live?: Seattle The FAVORITES Side Food: Tonkatsu ramen, curry ramen, palak/saag paneer, aloo palak, butter chicken, sushi w/ spicy tuna or salmon, KBBQ (all of it), Korean fried chicken w/ beer and radish, Kimchi rice, a well cooked well seasoned steak (im picky with it), pesto panini (as long as it falls under that title im in) and well seasoned french fries, my kryptonite. Drink: Matcha lattes, lattes in general, coffee in general, celsius, this one really good blue rasp sparkling energy drink at Caribou... god, any caffeine I guess. Water obviously. I also love coke straight from the fountain but its a trigger for me. Stop TV show: Breaking Bad/BCS for story, Its Always Sunny for a casual watch (But it can be really hit or miss w certain eps and seasons), Pen15 fave of all time. I wont get into anime, its too hard. Movie: Alien, The Terminator, Eternal Sunshine, La La Land, The Handmaiden, Little Shop of Horrors, Evil Dead 2, Tangled Band/Group: My favorites change all the time but rn its The Cure and Black Midi Color/s: Black, Red, Green, Blue/Purple (Tie), in that order (starting w/ the best). Actor: I dont really have a favorite actor but I < 3 Ryan Gosling as a person so lets say him Actress: Also no favorite actress Weekend Activity: I hate to say it but literally just sleeping. Day of the week: Saturday Month: Probably November and April Book: Escape from Freedom, A Tale for the Time Being if it didnt randomly go magical-realism in the last 2 or 3 chapters. But I dont read much. Holiday: Christmas, Halloween. Number: 11 or 8 Cookie: Chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, gingerbread Phrase you overuse: Idk about a phrase but lately I've been adding "I fear" onto the end of every sentence compulsively Toothpaste: The purple Crest one with creepy microplastics Ice Cream: 1 scoop of double chocolate chunk and 1 scoop of chocolate oreo on a sugar cone, or Ben and Jerry's Half Baked. Candy Bar/Candy: Crunch, Mr. Goodbar, Sour Patch Kids, those rainbow airhead strips, those movie theater choc covered cookie dough bites, anything cherry or green apple flavored I can suck on like a ringpop........... ALMOND JOY ...... my love Teacher: This one English teacher from middle school that noticed I was mentally ill and gave me some leeway on anything related to public speaking, this one English teacher from highschool that noticed I was mentally ill and spoke to me one on one about depression and anxiety (her advice was terrible and unhelpful but its the fact that she noticed and cared). This one Art History professor who had so much unbridled passion for his career. He was a huge wife guy and gave me so much leeway and sympathy when my mom passed away. He was enraged to hear my other professor barely moved the deadline for my paper and asked his name. I said I didnt want to get anyone in trouble and he said not to worry about it. Idk what he did but I got a call from my English prof telling me personally he's sorry for my loss and extended several deadlines. It was really awkward and I didnt like it but the fact that my prof cared so much and got me extensions meant something to me. This American History professor, Omg. Probably my favorite one. He cried during his own lecture about a slave revolt. I thought that was so sweet. He actually frequently got emotional while lecturing about times of great triumph or sorrow in history. His lectures were by far the most thoughtful of any class I have attended. He updated them every semester based on student feedback, they were structured like we were being told a story but with little breaks to talk about historical context and everything was accompanied by pictures. Every lecture he made sure to include some kind of written document (Be it a letter or a legal document or a transcribed speech) of the time to bring it to life. Each lecture was based on a person. He would tell the story of a time in America centered through the lense of the person he chose to focus on. He went out of his way to make sure there was a good variety to whose stories he shared. Historical relevance was obviously prioritized but he included women and minorities that made important contributions in America but didnt get the fame. While waiting for class to start, he played music from that specific era in US history. I spoke to him for a long time once where he made a genuine effort to quell my anxieties about not knowing what field to go into, told me to do what I love not what makes me money, and tried to convince me to become a History major. He said my writing assignments were thorough, well-written and insightful and that he notices when certain things spark emotion in me during his lectures. Him and the Art History guy make me so happy. I dont think I was built to have the kind of passion they hold in their heart for their respective fields, but theyre inspiring nonetheless. Its also just really refreshing when you can tell a person has found their genuine calling and are just completely winning in life because they have found The Thing. The Thing that genuinely fills you with energy to get up every morning and makes all the bad shit worth it and the negativity a waste of time. Restaurant: Umaido, Ari KBBQ, Poetree, Taki, I'm def missing like 600 others. Radio Station: 91.1 Atlanta B) Type of music: Oh god, everything. Goth, Punk, Breakcore, dnb, Jungle, Shoegaze, Electronic, 80s new wave, Alt rock, Hip-hop, jazz, the list goes on. I'm def one of those people that listens to a wide range of stuff but doesnt get deep into any one thing until something REALLY hits that chord and then Im obsessed. Shampoo/Conditioner: I believe 90% of them are the same until they get to be about 15 dollars. I like the Nexxus protein stuff. Song: Dont make me do that Music Video: Idk about my all time but a fave off the top of my head is Sons by Concorde Website: I hate to say it but Youtube Relative: My sister The "PEOPLE YOU KNOW" Side: Friends: Picture a bunch of clowns scrambling in a barrel laughing and making fun of each other with with one monotonous nerd in the middle with a clipboard taking notes and keeping order Most admired person: Maybe my grandmother The "ONE OR THE OTHER" Side:
*N Sync OR BSB: IDK Peanut butter OR Jelly: Peanut butter, dont care for jelly Coke OR Pepsi: Bottled coke, fountain pepsi Boxers OR Briefs: Those slutty tight boxers Matt OR Ben: mfer who MTV OR VH1: omg this is OLD old Apples OR Oranges: Apples Vanilla OR Chocolate: Chocolate Flowers OR Candy: Heart says candy, higher self says flowers Dawson's Creek OR Felicity: ???? Romantic Comedy OR Horror: RomCom TV OR Radio: kinda irrelevant question and also too hard to pick Is the glass half full OR half empty?: Both are true at the same time The "BELIEVE OR NOT" Side: Angels? No Aliens?: Maybe Heaven & Hell?: No God?: Maybe Yourself?: No The "HAVE YOU EVER" Side: [Answer YES or NO] Been on a plane: Yes Cried in public: Yes Climbed a tree: No Fell asleep in a Movie Theater: Yes, Green Lantern Kissed a guy/girl: Yes Met a celebrity: Yes, Jonas Brothers Met the president: No Been scared to get a shot: Not terribly Gotten a cavity: Yes Shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch: Yes... Broken a bone: No Said, "I love you," and meant it: Yes Made prank calls: Yes Gone skinny dipping: No Skipped school: Yes Loved somebody so much it made you cry: Yes Gone to a theme park and checked out all the cute guys/girls: Yes... The "WHICH IS WORSE" Side [a] sitting on a wet toilet seat OR [b] finding out there is no TP half way through: WET SEAT GROSS [a] kissing someone who just threw up OR [b] kissing someone who just ate taco bell: This is going to sound fucking deranged, but B [a] you don't know how to ride a bike OR [b] you don't know how to roller blade: I DONT KNOW EITHER LOL [a] you lose a finger OR [b] you lose a toe: Losing a toe is worse my feet are already creepy [a] you ate a rotten apple OR [b] you ate chunky milk: CHUNKY MILK DISGUSTING I cant even think about that too hard [a] watching reruns of Full House OR [b] watching reruns of Gilligans Island: O__o The "WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR" Side Bill Clinton: President Lollipops: Cherry Dreams: Lover Love: Spell Whipped Cream: Sex Boy bands: One Direction Guys: The guys I know Girls: Hair (lol??) Death: Grim Reaper The "WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER BE" Side Dog/Cat: Cat Blue/Purple: As in skin?? Blue Chocolate/Vanilla: ...???? is this racial Underwear/Bra: I am gathering that the title is inaccurate and they mean which do I like better? Underwear lol Pen/Pencil: Pen Plumber/Trashman: Now the title makes sense? Trashman. Im just so weird about wet things. Theres at least less of that w/ trashman. Ear/Eye: Ear Rich and unhappy/Poor and happy: Poor and happy, but I think happiness involves money because enriching experiences like travelling or starting a business or having kids or higher education or living in a community setting require money. Poor and happy requires some mastery of the self and finding happiness in really small things. I dont think Ill ever reach such a status due to mental illness Tall/Short: Tall but Id prefer like avg The "QUESTIONS THAT DON'T MATTER, BUT I'M STILL ASKING" Side Do you sleep with a stuff animal?: Always Last time you showered: Today If you were a crayon, what color would you be?: Black or Purple Do you like this survey?: Yea One pillow or two, cotton or feather?: One pillow under head one in arms, cotton First initial of the person you hate the most: A (if any A's happen to read this its not you) How long are you in the shower?: anywhere from 15 mins to an hour, on the real bad days How do you eat a Reese's Peanut Buttercup?: I bite down? Wtf. idk i eat it in like 3 bites Feelings on abortion: Deeply Pro-choice. Is Tupac alive?: No Thoughts on Britney Spears: Tragic figure, sweet lady, love her songs What does your screen name mean?: It means a lot actually lol. First off I just like the sound/feel of it, it makes me think of a sentient robot or alien trying to fool people by comically announcing itself as human. It also feels like a jab at rampant AI and bots online, like saying "Hey Im actually literally a real person". Though I dont think this actually works, its a reminder that there is a human person behind the account. It feels raw, like it might cut through the screen as a reminder to be kind because there are real people your words are reaching. And finally, its because I feel like the previously mentioned alien/robot announcing itself as human. Aliens are foreign and obviously different from humans. Aliens are tied to the descriptor of weird. Theyre just weird and cant be people. Robots who gain sentience are thinking machines (likely overthinking) and experience emotions intellectually. They also cant pose as humans (robots cant.. not yet) and are monotonous. Theres a reason people say "I feel like a robot/zombie" when describing the apathy involved in depression. Sometimes you feel like youre playing human Right, Left, or Ambidextrous?: Right What is on your mouse pad?: Dont have one lol.... What is under your bed?: A bunch of shoes in a loose drawer How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? one rough lick from my 50 square acre tongue
