♥ jasmine milk tea ♥: August 2016

I like to read my old posts sometimes, so today I was scrolling through this blog, and I happened upon this gem. I really admire that I've had the foresight to do this all these years! I believe there was also one that I made in maybe tenth grade, so I'll try to dig that up as well, just for comparison purposes. Ed: I found it.
But now, I'm going to fill it out again, because I'm 21 now, and that's another benchmark. So, here we go!
..
Favorites~
Season: Fall, but each of them are nice in their way.
Singer: I have a big, gay crush on Nicki Minaj. I also love Lykke Li and Lana Del Rey and Marina and Grimes and basically, all the ladies. And of course, I love the Greats like Natalie Dessay.
Song: November Rain by Guns'N'Roses
Color: Pink
Cosmetic: It's hard to say, because I can't really pick just one. But I could never do without my chapstick, so I'd have to say that.
Animal: My guinea pig, of course, and I also love moths and butterflies and penguins and birds! I also think my Fursona would be a kitten.
Food: Strawberry croissants from Bruin Cafe tbh
Outfit: It depends on how I'm feeling. My favorite lecture outfit is my black skater skirt, belt, and gray half-sleeve top, but I also love knotted cardigans and crop tops and sundresses. And if I'm going to a party, of course I'm going to get the Tity out.
Perfume: My signature scent is Japanese cherry blossom.
Drink: Grande double-shot Americano with a splash of cream.
Possession: I guess my phone and my laptop. But I really value people more than things, of course ♥
Car: My dream car is a manual transmission Volkswagon Jetta, but I think I would like anything at this point. I'd really rather have a manual than an automatic, though.
Subject: Linguistics by default, but also cognitive science and computer science and literature. And then art history! And regular history. And then poly sci and econ, too, but then I have to go to math, and how can you have math without science? But I love the humanities, so philosophy. And how could I forget, foreign languages!!! French is my very favorite.
Book: Les Misérables by Victor Hugo ♥♥ Another (not as much, but nothing could ever rival my Les Mis love) would be Swann's Way by Marcel Proust, and it's not really a book as much as a collection, but Vladimir Nabokov's short stories oh my goodness. And then of course I love The Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. And of course, poetry!
Type of person: Generally, I get along well with everyone. But I'm a Social Justice Warrior™ so I might find it more difficult to find common ground with a really bigoted person.
Type of boy: This is really heteronormative. I like boys and girls and other genders, too. But anyway, I don't really have a "type" per se. I'm attracted to kindness and humor and intelligence, but the most important thing is that we're friends.
Game: I'm really good at beer pong, actually. But anything can be fun if you're drunk enough.
Song on the top ten: (literally had to google for the charts right now. I'm so old) Just Like Fire by Pink. It's so feisty and fun, and it was super cute in Through the Looking Glass.
Now my least favorites!
Season: None, although I get sad when I have to be at home for any amount of time.
Singer: I don't think this is a nice question, so I won't answer it. I do have a lot of Opinions about problematic people, though.
Song: There's a lot of songs I object to for various reasons. I couldn't really single out one.
Color: None. I think every color has its time to shine.
Car: I don't support Ford, or several other brands of that nature.
Animal: None.
Food: Hospital food. I sometimes still have nightmares about that "chicken."
Cosmetic: I don't support brands that test on animals. I have a list somewhere, and I can probably dig it up if needed.
Outfit: Anything that makes me feel less than confident. I don't wear pants much.
Possession: My existential angst and debilitating mental illness lmao
Perfume: Again, anything that tests on animals, or is otherwise oppressive.
Drink: Beer
Book: Oh gosh I have a lot. Although, now that I think about it, I think I've been angered more by certain academic articles of late.
Subject: This is a little petty, but I have a grudge against anthropologists. I think they're so hypocritical and myopic and culturally appropriative (among other things) and they don't even have all their facts, but they still go around spewing hateful, half-baked rhetoric, and they're so insufferable and mean and just ugh. Okay, I'm calm. I'm calm.
Tyoe of person: This isn't very nice.
Type of boy: I'm not answering this one, either.
Game: Once, my brother and I played Spin-The-Bottle, and we were in the same room. I couldn't possibly be drunk enough to forget the sight of him macking on his boo. Never again. (I do like Spin-The-Bottle, though, because I'm a huge flirt)

Song on the top ten: Whatever that one is by Meghan Trainor, because I don't think she's a very nice person, and I have a lot of issues with her for various reasons.
..
So that was that! I'll be interested to look at this later and see how things have changed. I think these things are always so exciting, because it just goes to show how life is such a fluid thing! We're always growing and learning and changing, hopefully for the better. We don't stay static, and that's wonderful. I hope that when I do this again in however many years, my answers will again be completely different.
