I wanna learn Japanese. They added it recently so I was really intrigued.


Would you ever want to have a job that has to do with languages? Like a translator?

Opinion on Western-Europe?
Generally positive. I want to visit some time, especially Ireland and Scotland. Or really anywhere with cool historical stuff to look at.

I wanna learn Japanese. They added it recently so I was really intrigued.

There's a lot of languages I'd like to learn if I had all the time in the world. Japanese is one.

I've considered looking into working in linguistics in some way, but I couldn't afford the time and money it would take to get the education I'd need. Plus art is my number 1 passion.

Interesting question. I had to think about it for a bit. I suppose that although I appreciate its place in art history, and I don't hate all of it (some of it is really good), I find a lot of modern/postmodern fine art to be pretentious nonsense. There's an episode of Adam Ruins Everything that highlights a lot of what's wrong with the fine art world.

Do you feel you are generally happy?
Not at all.  XD Don't mean to be a downer, but I suffer from depression with a side of anxiety.

I'm pretty interested in stories of changelings, largely because of one of my favorite songs.

Do you believe in the supernatural?
I've been doing a lot of thinking about the word "supernatural" lately, and ultimately I think it's not a very useful word, because if there are things that can't be explained by our current understanding of science, that just means that our understanding is incomplete. Plus, even if it were proven that ghosts existed, for example, that wouldn't prove the existence of ESP, angels, fairies, or anything else. So the way I see it, it's not a matter of whether or not the supernatural, as a whole category of things, exists, but whether each particular phenomenon exists.

Specifically, I don't believe in any of the phenomena currently considered supernatural, but I'm open to the possibility. Actually, I do believe in the cluster of phenomena known as hauntings, but I'm not convinced that they're caused by spirits of the dead.

I suppose I like physics because in a lot of ways it's easier for me to understand than other fields, but it also has mind blowing trippy stuff like relativity and quantum mechanics.

That's a tough one. I guess I like that I'm pretty smart, even though I'm not smart enough to really DO anything useful with it. Or maybe it's just that my emotional issue get in the way.

They can't get here fast enough. XD I don't know how much of what I've heard and read about them is true and how much is wild speculation, but it seems like they have a lot of potential for faster processing and increased data storage.

I love how welcoming, accepting, and civil everyone has been. Honestly, there's nothing I hate. But if I had to pick something, it's that it uses light type on a dark background, which is harder on the eyes than dark text on a light background.
