Intro

I've always thought these sort of question posts were fun, so wanted to join in! I originally saw it on Mycorrhiza's site, who saw it on Strix's website, who saw it on Dabi's Site, who saw it on Mirio's site, who saw it on Clam's site. I honestly love stumbling across these sort of things - things that seem to be slowly making their way around somewhere and you can just follow it back to the source. It's like going on an adventure.

I'll be using the list from Mirio's Site, as I think it's formatted the easiest to read and contains all the questions it seems. I won't be answering every question, but will try to get to a good chunk of them.

Questions

  1. Time and date you started this?
    • 4/13/25 7:37 am
  2. Opinions on Musicals?
    • You know, honestly, I've come around on them. When I was younger I'd say I didn't like musicals, but as I've gotten older I've started listening to more of them. They're still not something I go out of my way to see, but I'm more open to them now. One I absolutely love was a TV show called Galavant. God it's so good. I still listen to a lot of the songs from that show on Spotify, but one I actually reference a decent amount is "Goodbye" (spoilers warning). So much of the show is the exact type of comedy I love. One thing, right before that scene, is they need to find a healer and so seek Neo of Sporin (spoiler warning again). The last two songs I'll mention are Lords of the Sea and the Season 2 intro (spoiler warnings again). God it's just such a good show.
  3. Favorite snack?
    • Uhhh hmm. The most common one I eat are chips. Ice cream cake is a good one, the ice cream shop where I grew up has this thing called Razzles (basically just Blizzards from dairy queen) that's really good. The only other thing that comes to mind are bagel bites, but I'll eat those as a meal often
  4. Have you ever been in love?
    • Yes, I'm actually engaged right now!
  5. Favorite Pokemon?
    • Oh man that's a tough one... The one that comes to mind first is Eevee. I remember always thinking they were cool.
  6. Mario Kart Main?
    • Luigi with the Jeep wrangler looking car and the squirrel parachute
  7. TF2 Main?
    • Always loved the Engineer. The engineer or medic class in general are the classes I tend to go for in games.
  8. Are you listening to music right now?
  9. Do you believe in Astrology?
    • No, but I think it's interesting.
  10. Do you get easily stressed?
    • I think so - I think I feel a low / medium level of stress pretty often. It doesn't usually stop me from anything, but when there's a lot happening at once it just feels like stress.
  11. What is/was your favorite class in High School?
    • God this is a tough one.... I liked any of the tech based classes (surprise surprise), but there were a few classes I took with specific teachers that really made it enjoyable, more for the teacher than the subject matter. There was one class I took on Genocide where I still bring up stories from it. Similarly a few of my history classes I still have some lessons burned in my brain because of how fun they were. Cooking clases were fun, of course, because you got food at the end of it. As I'm writing this, one class actually came back to memory that I hadn't thought of for a bit - there was a social studies class I took as an elective that studied history starting with the average year the class was born, until modern day. Each week a different group would present on whatever year. That was really fun - one of the classes someone brought in an Xbox 360 and the original Left 4 Dead I think because they were covering the year it came out.
  12. What pokemon type would you be? Dual types are allowed.
    • Probably ground electric? I've always thought electric based powers were cool, and I feel like in the Pokemon games I always end up with at least one or two ground type pokemon.
  13. Favorite html tag?
    • Probably the details and summary tag. I remember when I learned about them how much easier it made what I was trying to do. For those who don't know, it lets you make drop down menus like below. Basically details surrounds everything, summary is what you want the description to be (in the example below, "Click here for the example"). And then whatever else you put after summary but before the end of details is what shows up after someone clicks on it.
    • Click here for the example

      Congrats, you clicked on the example!

  14. Are you good at drawing?
    • Unfortunately no, the best I can do is a stick figure. It's something I wish I was better at though.
  15. Can you sew?
    • Technically yes. I took a home ec class in middle school where we learned about sewing. I made a blanket once. I probably haven't sewn though since then.
  16. Can you cook?
    • Yeah it's actually kind of funny, I'm a pretty picky eater overall, however I think I cook more home cooked food than my fiance.
  17. Most expensive thing you've bougtht?
    • Setting aside college tution and my car, I would have to guess my computer is the most expensive thing I've bought - I think it was around $2k when I had it built.
  18. Opinions on cosplay?
    • It's so cool! I'm always amazed at how talented people are.
  19. Are you a dramatic person?
    • No, I think most people would say I'm one of the least dramatic people they know. I do tease my fiance by being overly dramatic sometimes though.
  20. What emoticon do you use the most?
    • Probably this one o.0 . The fighting emoticon is also fun. (ง •̀_•́)ง
  21. (bonus) What emotion do you use the most?
    • This is what I read the above question as originally. My answer would be neutrality honestly. It's one of those things that comes up a lot where something exciting or bad will happen and truly I'll just be neutral. My friends have teased me during party games where you have to tell if someone is lying, and there'll say something like "Steve's face is just so blank, you can't tell anything!"
  22. Do you like snow?
    • ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE VIBES
  23. Were you really into Greek Mythology as a kid?
    • Uhhh, I really liked the Percy Jackson books if that counts
  24. What are some things you could competently deliver a speech on?
    • Oh man uhhh the one that comes to mind is the state of the internet and Social Media sites in general. I feel like whenever I'm getting the chance I'm setting up a soap box online and ranting at anyone who will listen to my thoughts on it. The other thing is recently at work I've been training people on a new sound system, which is basically me giving a speech each time. I do want to just add in here that in general I love doing things like PowerPoint presentation and speeches on topics, it's just usually I have to research stuff first. What I mentioned here are things I could probably do off the top of my head
      • .
  25. Are you good at spelling?
    • I try to be
  26. Sine, cosine, or tangent?
    • I was actually studying to become a Math Teacher for a while, so I'm pleasantly surprised by this question. Tangent is the most interesting one there to me though - I just remember it always being really different than sine and cosine. That said, I think a sine wave comes up more often in life.
  27. Do you like licorice?
    • No
  28. What's one thing you can't stand that everyone else loves?
    • I don't know if it's something everyone loves, but I hate the song "Rude" by Magic with a passion that I've not seen matched by anyone else.
  29. What books did you like as a kid?
    • The Rangers Apprentice, Percy Jackson, and The Dresden Files I absolutely loved.
  30. Can you play any instruments?
    • Not really - I have the slightest experience with Guitar, and even less with Piano. But if you gave me a sheet of music, I would not be able to play it. There's just a few things I think I still have memorized. Playing the guitar is something I want to get back into.
  31. What song would you want to play at your wedding?
    • The first thing that comes to mind is not something I'd want played, but I think my fiance would. This guy on Instagram (naluthepianoman) makes mashups of popular songs as wedding entrances. He made one with the It's Corn audio, which you can find here. My fiance absolutely loves that video. Outside of that, I do have an actual wedding playlist my fiance and I are making, but so far it's mostly the classics like Electric Slide.
  32. Do you believe in reincarnation?
    • I'd like to, but I also don't think it matters if it's real. To me, the most comforting part of reincarnation would be knowing that when I die one day, I don't just... stop existing. Some part of me would live on. However, given I have no memories of any past life, if reincarnation is real, I have no way of knowing, and thus offers me no comfort.
  33. Finish the sentence: I'm just a guy who ____
    • Has a beard.
  34. Have you been to another continent?
    • No
  35. What's your worst habit?
    • So, all the things that were coming to mind were lack of habits - I don't go to the gym enough, I don't study enough, etc. But I don't really think the lack of habit is a habit in and of itself. But then I couldn't really think of anything. So I asked my Fiance, who said my worst habit was throwing my pillows on the bed at night.
      Some context, my fiance loves to take naps with her dog in the bed. I, am allergic to animal dander. I largely just put up with it, but the dog lays on my side when it naps with her. Meaning when I go to bed at night, I'm laying a pile of dog fur. Between the amount of dog fur and being horizontal, my allergies go nuts. The solution we've come to is in the morning I take my pillows and blanket off of the bed, and then put them back on the bed right before I go to sleep. This makes it so, at the very least, where my head is is not surrounded by dog fur. However, I usually go to bed after my fiance, and from her perspective I'm throwing the pillows on the bed, because she says she can feel it when I put the pillows on the bed, and it wakes her up. From my perspective, I am gently putting the pillows down.
  36. Favorite Vegetable?
    • Canned Green Beans
  37. What's something stupid that scared the shit outta you as a kid?

    • Honestly, wherever. I don't buy clothes often and when I do I just kind of go to whatever the closest clothing store is and shop around.
  47. Where would you live if you could live anywhere?
    • Ooof this is tough. My gut answer is "near my friends", however my friends and I have had that conversation before and everyone wants to live in a different area of the country than each other. So my next answer is Canada or New Zealand.
