Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

Albert Einstein.

Would you like to be famous? In what way?

Not famous, but remembered. I'd like to live on after I die, I'd like to have made an impact on someone.

Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

I absolutely do, I get incredibly anxious when talking on the phone, I make a list to make sure I talk about all the things I need to, otherwise I'll likely get flustered and forget to talk about some things.

What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

Spending a day with my boyfriend, just relaxing, able to be ourselves.

When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

I sometimes hum to myself, I hum whatever song is in my head. I sang Happy Birthday to my boyfriend as a voice message.

If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30‐year‐old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

Mind for sure. I don't want to forget, to have dementia, to slowly lose who I am.

Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

Possibly of a broken heart. Boyfriend is 13 years older then me, I know he'll likely die before me. After we've been together for 40, 50 years, will I have the strength to go on without him, I don't know.

Name three things you and your best friend have in common.

My best friend is my boyfriend, we both like reading sci-fi and fantasy books, we're both furries, we both like video games.

For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

The fact that I'm even here. I was born fairly premature, and I'm lucky to be here.

If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

Growing up was full of lots of conflict, I have some fetishes that I discovered when I was a teen, parents didn't understand, led to years of therapy, and I'm still not on the greatest of terms with my parents. Either I would have hidden them better, and parents wouldn't have found out, or parents would have been more understanding/accepting.

Set a timer for four minutes and type, in as much non‐identifying detail as possible, as much of your life story as you can within that timeframe.

I was born fairly premature, was in and out of the hospital lots. Went to private schools because of being gifted, and to help compensate for fine motor delays (went to school that used laptops). In and out of therapy for years. Felt intense guilt and shame about the fetishes I'm into, lost my first significant romantic relationship as a result. Was told that I needed to change in order to find love.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?

The ability to take things less personally.

If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?

I'd want to know if whether trying to get a job by boyfriend is the right thing to do. (I'm in Canada, he's in USA)

That's all I'll answer for now, since I need sleep, might answer more later.
