A number of wewe have done a sekunde question-and-answer article, and wewe know I have to do one myself, because I upendo filling these out. I wasn't able to open the viungo to find the orodha of maswali myself, so I have chosen for my orodha all the maswali that Kelly and Kayla did. Without further ado:
1. What do wewe think wewe cook au bake the best? Any kitindamlo I bake usually goes over extremely well.
2. How old was your mother when she had you? Hang on... let me do the math... Her birthday comes after mine, so she was... 34. And a half.
3. Do wewe consider yourself an introvert au an extrovert? Introvert and proud of it.
4. If wewe are in a bad mood, do wewe prefer to be left alone au have someone to cheer wewe up? Depends on the circumstances. If I'm angry, chasing after me trying to get me to cheer up will only make things worse. Especially if wewe were the one who made me angry. Just leave it and let me calm down. If, however, I'm sad, then leaving me alone too long and not giving me a chance to talk about it will eventually make me angry, unless wewe aren't the person I want to talk to about it, in which case wewe must leave me alone because I don't want to see anyone I have to pretend I'm happy around... Yes, it's complicated.
5. Rugrats au Doug? Um... I have no idea who Doug is and have never seen either show. (I'm assuming Doug is a show, au at least the main character of one, because that's what the Rugrats are.) I do like what I know of the Rugrats, though, but I'd have to see both shows au at least know something about both to answer this.
6. What’s your dream job? I don't want a “job”. I want to release muziki and model and act and do so many fun things that it never feels like I'm working, and earn lots of money from doing the things I upendo to do most.
7. What’s your dream car? A pink VW Beetle. au VW Beatle, as I call it.
8. What’s your cure for hiccups? Drinking water from the far side of the glass helps a lot. Then if they haven't gone away completely, I hold my breath for maybe ten-second intervals.
9. Do wewe believe in sekunde chances? Depends for whom and for what. There had better be a very good reason why wewe deserve a sekunde chance from me....
10. What’s the most pleasant sounding accent? British!
11. What’s the most beautiful beach, pwani you’ve been to? I haven't been to that many, and honestly none of them were the particularly beautiful kind. I've never been to, say, a beach, pwani on the ocean. But the beach, pwani of Port Dover will always hold a special place in my heart.
12. What animal is the most majestic? I'd say a lion au a tiger. The noble grace of a large feline.
13. If wewe owned a restaurant, what kind of chakula would it serve? I've thought about this many times, actually. I think I would open a chain of kufunga chakula places where every option on the menu is themed. wewe know, like if it was a sandwich, sandwichi duka for instance, wewe could get options like the pizza Style au the kitindamlo au the Meaty Breakfast.
14. What are some of your favourite games to play? I like Scattergories (a game where wewe have to think of words for certain categories beginning with a certain letter), specifically Scattergories Junior, which actually has zaidi interesting categories and allows wewe to be zaidi creative than the adult version. I also like Clue – they have a Harry Potter edition which is particularly fun, zaidi so than the original in my opinion. Whatever game I'm playing, I don't like to follow a lot of rules and keep score. I like to be allowed to be as creative as I like.
15. What’s your favourite chakula combination? chokoleti and karanga butter, hamburger and tomatoes, tuna and mayonnaise, instant coffee and kakao powder, lattes and whipped cream... not sure if I can pick just one.
16. What’s the longest trip you’ve been on? I don't think there was one specific longest one. When I was young my family went on weeklong vacations to Montreal every mwaka to see my grandparents. I've never been on a longer trip than that. I haven't been on nearly enough trips. >:(
17. What household chore do wewe actually enjoy? I don't enjoy household chores. But there are some I don't object to, like putting away clean dishes au doing my laundry.
18. How good are wewe at drawing? Very.
19. What is your favourite genre of movie? Why? I like every genre provided they do it right. I like romance if it's done right, I like comedy if it's done right, I like action if it's done right, I like animated if it's done right... and yet it would be so easy to get any of these genres wrong.
20. How do wewe feel about clowns? I don't care for clowns.
21. If wewe didn’t have to sleep, what would wewe do with the extra time? Accomplish zaidi things I didn't get around to that day. And go to open mics that end at two in the morning. I actually have thought before how nice it would be if I didn't have to sleep.
22. What job would wewe be terrible at? Almost anything that qualifies as a “job”. Anything in an office, anything requiring a degree like a lawyer au a doctor, anything that doesn't allow for creativity au where I'd have a boss telling me what to do....
23. What state au country do wewe never want to go back to? I haven't even been to enough places yet, and now you're asking me which one I never want to go back to? How about letting me do some proper travelling first?!
24. What would be your first swali after waking up from being cryogenically frozen for 100 years? “Where am I? What happened? Who froze me when I told them not to?! Where's my stuff? Nobody had better have touched it...."
25. What’s the farthest you’ve ever been from home? I don't know. Which is farther from Toronto, Montreal au Grand Rapids?
26. What is something that a ton of people are obsessed with but wewe just don’t get the point of? Um. It's the 2010s. The swali is, what are people obsessed with that I do see the point of?
27. Where would wewe rather be from? England, I guess. Although for me it's not so much a where as a when.
28. What would be your spirit animal? Even though I relate most to tigers, I think my spirit animal is a lion. I've had vivid dreams about lions in the past. Note: not lioness, lion. He definitely had a mane.
29. If wewe were aliyopewa a PhD degree, but had no zaidi knowledge of the subject of the degree besides what wewe have now, what degree would wewe want to be aliyopewa to you? No matter what, I'm going to get a degree in a subject I have zero knowledge of. Make it whatever wewe want.
30. What was the last song wewe sung along to? I don't actually remember....
31. What’s the coolest animal you’ve seen in the wild? Either the coyote au the deer.
32. Who in your life is the worst at using technology? I think that would be me.
33. What’s something that all your Marafiki agree on? We upendo the Beatles!!! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
34. What’s your favourite type of day? (weather, temp, etc.) In the summer, quite warm and not too breezy. In the winter, I like a goodly amount of snow and a temperature at either zero (celsius) au just above, with no wind, so I can actually go out in it and enjoy it. There's just no point in a winter wewe can't go out in and enjoy.
35. What chakula do wewe upendo that a lot of people might find a little odd? I like to eat a bowl of crunchy karanga siagi with chokoleti chips mixed in.
36. If wewe could choose your dreams, what would wewe prefer to dream about? Meeting the Beatles, obviously. Also going on adventures and doing heroics and just trying everything. It's not impossible. They say there are ways to teach yourself to lucid dream.
37. What are two of your favourite snacks? Chocolate-covered granola bars – very easy to grab-n-go – and the aforementioned chokoleti chips in karanga butter.
38. What period would be the best to be born in? Late forties. Specifically I would choose 1947.
39. Are wewe a cat au dog person au neither? Why? I upendo both, but Cats are my favourites. They're so beautiful and graceful, and my personality is much zaidi like a cat's than a dog's.
40. What’s your drink of choice? (Either alcoholic au non.) I like lattes, milkshakes, coffee, tea, machungwa, chungwa juice, vodka coolers....
41. What’s your favourite month? July, mwezi of my birthday.
42. Cake au Pie? Cake. Definitely cake. With frosting.
43. Hamburger au Taco? Hamburger. Definitely hamburger. With tomatoes.
44. Blue au Red? Red, especially red sequins.
45. Toilet paper: Over au Under? I personally prefer over.
46. koki au Pepsi? I don't know. I don't really care, either. I don't know when was the last time I drank either one.
47. Would wewe rather never be able to eat meat au never be able to eat vegetables? No swali there, I would rather give up vegetables any siku of the week. Vegetables are just so – boring. zaidi to the point, never, never, ever try to come between me and my meat.
48. Would wewe rather live without hot water for showers / baths au live without a washing machine? I'll take the hot water for showers and just take a trip over to the laundromat every week. Ha. I have discovered the loophole. Your little plot has failed....
And on that note, we are at an end. Hope wewe enjoyed that, leave a maoni if wewe did, be nice if wewe didn't, all that good stuff.
