Thank you to all who indulged my desire to commemorate this milestone. These are such great questions and I encourage all who asked and any who read to answer these questions themselves! I want to see how we are all alike and different. Also, be sure to check out the askers' awesome sites!

badgraph1csghost2 asked:

You go to an event, like a house party or something, and a song comes on that makes you start dancing like crazy. What's playing?

Tina, I love this question and thank you for asking. There could be hundreds of answers but some that come to mind are Beyonce's Upgrade U, Mariah Carey's It's Like That, Ariana Grande's Into You, Lady Gaga's Sexxx Dreams, or Bjork's Pluto.

2044 asked:

congrats! i'm weirdly fond of the dinosaur gif on your main page, so my question is - what are your favorite dinosaurs? :)

Thanks Ren! I'm rather attached to my dino as well. I can't imagine my page without it! Right now i'm partial to the Utahraptor, which is like a way bigger, scarier velociraptor. When it comes to ancient specimens, though, I'm actually more partial to earlier creatures, like from the Cambrian Explosion. All those weird spiky guys scare me and fascinate me. I love thinking about how alien our past world would seem to us.

manulzone asked:

my question is: do you have a favorite food recently?

I'm loving like steak and ribs and things of that sort. And spicy fried chicken in various forms. Pickled jalapenos.

americasdecline asked:

What are some of the biggest life lessons you've learned over the past year or so? You've been through (and achieved!) a lot.

Thank you for saying so, and for your curiosity! This question took me such a long time to answer.

I'm currently learning that I am capable of making so many more friends and connections than I thought. I learned I can still make new close friends, and so I will continue to make them. I also re-learned that doing theatre is immensely fulfilling and an important part of my life that I must also continue. I think right now I'm in a process of learning and growing and changing. It feels really good!

inkcaps asked:

Ahhh congrats Chey, I'm grateful for your company too! What are your favorite Spongebob episodes? What things in the future are you most looking forward to??

Thank you Sarah :') Okay spongebob. I love Dying for Pie, No Weenies Allowed, Squilliam Returns, The Snowball Effect, though I could name so many more.

Fave quotes from each one respectively:

"So, ya tried to kill me over a little new age management?"
"Weenie Hut General?!"
"WE THREW OUT HIS NAME"
"Squidward that wasn't the peace treaty that was a copy of the peace treaty."

As for the future, I'm looking forward to having full control over my living space and lifestyle. And to attend more social and recreational events.

projectc190 asked:

what are your favorite books and why are they your favorites?

Hello! My favorite books are The Hair Carpet Weavers by Andreas Eschbach and All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy.

The former is a really devastating sci-fi mosaic novella exploring the absurd nature of work and belief through vignettes taking place across galaxies. Bleak as hell which is precisely my cup of tea.

The latter is stunning sprawling brutal epic western exploring coming of age, responsibility, violence, and romance. I recommend it to all.

michaelmas asked:

Hopes & dreams ? Recurring dreams / dream symbolism ? Favorite weather ?

Great to hear from you Michael!

My main hopedream at this time is to create a life full of meaningful connection, abundant creativity and ever-expanding knowledge.

I tend to dream about losing teeth or being in the backseat of a car with no driver. I think the teeth symbolize fear of sudden irreversible change. The backseat of a car thing must have something to do with control, though I haven't made any insights yet on how it connects to my waking life.

I love a clear warm sunny spring day.
