1: Full name
Aimee Free Bird Ault
2: Age
30
3: 3 Fears
I've had my worst fears realized and survived them, so I don't have fears anymore.
4: 3 things I love
Traveling, caffeine, and problem-solving
5: 4 turns on
In a human? Adventure-seeking, danger, boldness, independence, ability to recognize off-by-one errors.
6: 4 turns off
Dishonesty, desperation, ambivalence, indifference
7: My best friend
I don't really feel like I have a best friend. I have many acquaintances however, each is good for something different, scattered all over the place so often my closest friends are furthest away and what constitutes as "close" to me is often different than it might be for others.
8: Sexual orientation
I'm like a 2 on the Kinsey scale (I date straight but I sometimes find other women to be physically attractive)
9: My best first date
I've had this date with many different people in many different countries but... it's unquestionably been the best... walking around in a busy city in the evening, talking, breaking apart life stories. First one I ever had like that was in Paris even though we never really dated, but yeah.
10: How tall am I
5'3"
11: What do I miss
I miss almost every place I've visited in one way or another. Skadarlija, though, lately.
12: What time were I born
10:45PM on a Saturday night. My mom likes to tell me the story of this as if it were interesting. It is not interesting. "It was storming and the doctor was at a party!" When I retell it, people expectedly implore me to elaborate further, waiting for the interesting part to drop. It never does.
13: Favourite color
Blue
14: Do I have a crush
No. What am I, 9.
15: Favourite quote
"People will forget what you said. People will forget what do you did. But people will never forget the way you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
16: Favourite place
Cape Town or NYC. Occasionally, I will convince myself that it's Mexico City and then remember Dia de San Judeos.
17: Favourite food
Pizza
18: Do I use sarcasm
I don't think I do. I think I speak ironically quite a bit but not sarcastically.
19: What am I listening to right now
Audio book version of "Gone Girl"
20: First thing I notice in a new person
The shape their eyes take when their gaze falls on me.
21: Meaning behind my dA username
When I go to stores and they ask for my e-mail address, to avoid spam I will give them "fartprincess69aol..com" -- fartprincess69 was already my test account, so I just did fartprincess when I changed my username. To answer further, I don't think I fart a lot. I think I fart the average number of farts per day as any other person. My mom really is the fart queen though, there is no question about that. It's not a role I aspire to inherit.
22: Favourite movie
The "Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight" trilogy.
23: How I feel right now
Content, ready for more adventure.
24: Someone I love
I love almost everybody that is in my life, even though I never have the gumption to share it.
25: My current relationship status
In a relationship.
26: My relationship with my parents
My mom and I get along well despite being total opposites. I had to unfortunately shut my dad out of my life a few years ago for my own safety.
27: Favourite holiday
April Fool's Day
28: The reason I joined deviantART
So I was in a vector calculus class in university and there was a boy in my class, Corey (forcewurks) who I had a crush on. And he linked me to dA one day and I joined because of that.
29: Do I and my last ex hate each other?
I don't know how he feels about me. I feel like he kind of fucked up badly with me and was kind of an un-remorseful sociopathic asshole about it, but having loved him, it's really hard to feel something like hatred, so no, of course not.
30: How long does it take me to get ready in the morning?
Like 5 minutes usually. If I'm going somewhere where I really give two fucks though, maybe 15.
31: Have I shaved my legs in the past three days?
Yes
32: Do I like my music loud or at a reasonable level?
Reasonable. I'm too considerate of those around me and am always paying attention to the volume on everything I watch or listen to.
33: Do I have someone of the opposite sex I can tell everything to?
Most of the people I'm closest to are of the opposite sex, so yeah.
34: How often do I wear a fake smile?
Never, which is surprising because when people first meet me, often the first thing they tell me is that they can't get over the fact that I'm always smiling.
35: When was the last time I hugged someone?
Yesterday
36: If I could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?
My answer to this used to be Nelson Mandela but I think that's going to be a tall order to fill these days.
37: What do I think about most?
Words. I love playing with them. I'm usually turning them around in my head trying to spend rhyme and pun.
38: Do I have any strange phobias?
I wouldn't call it a phobia but I get really lightheaded when people talk about medical procedures tied to terminal diseases around me… mind you, I can watch a bloody horror film with no problem and I'm not scared of needles… just don't talk about the intricate details of your chemotherapy around me.
39: What was the worst injury I’ve ever had?
I one time broken both of the bones in my forearm completely in half. The skin didn't tear but it looked like I had an extra joint in my arm.
40: What’s a song that always makes me happy when I hear it?
This is the dumbest answer but "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps because whenever I hear those lyrics "Burn baby burn, disco inferno," I imagine how awkward it would be for that song to be playing as someone died in a fire at a discotheque and it makes me laugh.
41: How can you win my heart?
Make me laugh so hard I start making awkward snorting sounds
42: What would I want to be written on my tombstone?
"SCORED 100 ON ALL THE LEVELS OF SUPER MARIO WORLD 2"
43: Am I a vegetarian/vegan?
I occasionally am, but not typically.
44: What concerts have I been to?
Not that many if I think about it. I have seen Nine Inch Nails live twice. Mostly a lot of indie bands before they were cool that I'm not actually sure if are popular or not these days.
45: Have I stalked someone on a social network?
I'm not sure what qualifies as stalking on a social network these days. I'll go with "probably" regardless.
46: What do I want for my birthday?
What I have literally never had in my entire life, a party.
47: How many kids do I want and what will be their names?
I don't know. If I were with someone that wanted kids, I might want them but I don't know how many. But if I were with someone who didn't, I'd be fine without. I'm really all or nothing on the matter (that said, I definitely have not thought about *names*)
48: Do I like my handwriting?
No, it's a mess. Not only do I not like it but you surely won't either.
49: What was my favourite toy as a child?
Legos
50: Where do I want to live when older?
I like this question because it almost sings to my nomadic ways even though I'm sure it's actually aimed at teenagers. I really have no idea though.
51: Play any musical instrument?
Used to play piano--some of that is still intact in my brain. Ocarina.
52: One of my scars, how did I get it?
I have a scar on my left hand from climbing a pyramid.
53: The meanest thing somebody has ever said to me
"Why can't you just be normal?"
54: What do I like about myself
That I'm very rational. But also that I'm very optimistic and upbeat.
55: Something I fantasize about
Sometimes when I listen to music, I fantasize about the music being the soundtrack to a movie I'm starring in. I think most people have this fantasy.
I was tagged for this. I won't pass that burden on to anyone else. Do it yourself if you'd like.
