How do you wake up in the morning?

Lets kick this day in the mouth!

Frothing with hate, wondering what fresh hell awaits me today.

Waking up suggests that I’ve actually slept the night before.

I… I’m more an afternoon person.

Do you do breakfast?

That depends- is coffee a meal? Ah whatever, I got stuff to do- just throw some toast at me

Gotta fuel myself for the atrocities of being awake. Ain’t dealing with this nonsense on an empty stomach.

If I eat anything this early, I’ll die. I’ll sort something later.

Nothing too big but enough to Get Me Through It.

What sounds the most fun to you?

Learning a new skill would really shake things up! I’d love to do something fun and fast, look cool doing it and if it goes wrong at least I can say “I died having fun!”

Anything cathartic, to be honest. I used to get in more arguments with randos just to blow off some steam but apparently that was a “maladaptive coping mechanism” and now I’m “not allowed on Twitter” and “No, I’ll be dead in the ground before I ever call it X”, blah blah

Whatever distracts me from the emotions I’m running away fr- ERR I MEAN learning more about the things you’re interested in is always fun! There’s always something you didn’t know about it! And I’m gonna make my knowledge BIGGER. AND. MORE.

Actually being able to get some guilt free rest without being told I’m “lazy”- some of our batteries are perpetually around 10% at best, you’re lucky my eyes aren’t blinking at different rates

What kind of snacks do you tend to go for?

Anything with a strong flavour- salty, sweet, spicy, sour, gimme da gorbage! *grabby hands*

Exclusively salty snacks, anything that can dehydrate me tbh

Anything sweet, especially if it can give me an energy boost

Something bland I can just eat without really thinking about.

Are you social or more of a home bird?

Always looking to add more friends to my flock! Why, you interested? It’s nice to meet you!

If anyone breathes within 10 feet of me, one of us will die and it won’t be me

Depends on my mood-there’s some folk I’m always happy to see but I don’t often tend to seek out company.

I have close friends but I’m nervous around people I don’t know.

Out of these, what would you say is your biggest issue?

Apparently I use humour as a way to ‘deflect’ and ‘avoid talking about difficult subjects’ and ‘get everyone to like me’ because I’m ‘afraid of being disliked’ but personally I just think I’m really funny.

… look, maybe we should consider that I have less of an “Anger Management Problem” and more of an “Everyone around me is a noisy, irritating waste of oxygen problem” and that’s not something I can be responsible for. Why does everything have to exist so much anyway??

I’ve been told I overthink and research obsessively to distract myself from ‘how I’m truly feeling’ but since I have no idea what that is and I never will no matter what, it makes sense to focus my time elsewhere

I don’t know who I am. I’ve been so disconnected from my own needs for so long that I have no idea how to ask for help. When your voice has been silenced for so long, you don’t know how to use it. Sorry if that’s too intense.

What drinks do you enjoy the most?

Anything fizzy that can make my belch rattle windows!

Need water to wash down the salt. Can’t go wrong with a classic.

Energy drinks or anything with caffeine, helps keep me F O C U S E D

Fruit juices or squash are nice. Anything refreshing.

/9

You like music? What do you listen to?

Oooh, anything I can dance and/or sing to! Doesn’t matter what genre or anything, I’ll give it all I’ve got!

I have to be in a certain mood for music- the stuff I like is usually pretty heavy and loud so if I’m overwhelmed it just becomes aggravating noise

I have collections of songs and playlists that are themed by memories, emotions, experiences… I guess I make my own soundtracks! But I love any songs with meaningful lyrics that connected with me

I like lo-fi or any calming ambient music. It’s calming to listen to and let your thoughts just drift or keep you focused on what you’re working on.

And finally, how is your sleep schedule?

I pretty much just crash whenever and wherever I’m tired. I don’t really think about it. If I’m eepy, then I go sleepy!

I have a set bedtime every day, sometimes at slightly different times depending on the day, and if I ever deviate from those times I am not responsible for my actions.

I’ll sleep when I’m dead. Don’t worry about it.

I’d sleep all the time if I could! I never seem to get enough, no matter how much I try. My thoughts are too loud and I’m always still tired.
