My perfect date is walking around and talking. A date is used to get to know someone and what better way to do that than to actually spend time talking about, not only each other, but about stuff. You get to know a lot about a person by how they react to things. :)
Perfect date: Wake up early and spend some alone time eating breakfast. Then meet up w boyfriend in the woods. I am dressed like an elf. He is shirtless w nice trousers. Go for a lil hike/nature walk for maybe an hour. Make a fire and prepare food to cook over the open flames: shabu shabu, and drink hot tea. Then go ice bathing, and then sit in a sauna. Making jokes and enjoying the forest. The end.

INAPPLICABLE I have no use for dating.
I see no point in even defining it. I'm too old for a first date, better I say it than them.
Its not an option. I'm better this way.
xe/they/she
My current, married self would say game night with a specially cooked dinner that we prepared together.
I don't even know what my pre-married self would say, I can't think of any perfect dates that I've ever been on.

[I]My personal answer: [/i] Wow I can't believe this is a question they ask at pageants... This is really difficult to answer. I guess my quirky character? My sense of style and my views on the world? I honestly don't know. I do indeed believe every person is unique but I can't really pinpoint what makes me unique... I'm really looking forward to reading your answers :)

Nothing. :)
Lol ok all jokes aside....
Uh oh... I'm the only one in my immediate family that has hazel eyes.
I'm the oldest person in MY ENTIRE FAMILY, both sides to have never made the mistakes pretty much everyone makes. (No record basically...)
I guess my eye color also warrants a spot, they're dually colored, green and brown.
I'm also the best old, obsolete model you'll have for a friend.
That was too much yeets answers lol anyway

Zelda never got to meet Maggie personally but she snuffled around the house very thoroughly a couple months after her departure and I'm sure she knows her by scent very well, likely in a way that we as humans cannot even imagine. I think dogs comprehend the world in a way we can't even fathom based on their sensitivity to smells. I fully believe that my dog knows more about where I've been than I do every time I come home and she snuffles my shoes lol.
It has admittedly been a long time (at least a month) since I left off on our conversation and I'm afraid I don't quite remember the specifics. It sounds like I was getting all existential and annoying anyway though so I'm not gonna go back and figure it out lol...I'll just acknowledge that you're correct, of course, we can only go forward. And maybe that's just as well. I've been spending a lot of time on a game lately (Fallout 4) and I'm total save scum. I save my game constantly in case anything I don't like happens so I can go back and try again (especially at persuasion checks because I'm not even charismatic in video games and I usually fail them lol). And even then, sometimes I miss saving before an important event and for a moment I'm like freaking out that I can't redo it (well, not without significant backtracking that I'm not necessarily willing to do)...but just as quickly a sort of contentment settles in that there's nothing I can do about it and I might as well accept my fate. I guess this is kind of therapeutic because I can apply it to real life too. Sometimes moving forward and dismissing the past, and acknowledging that the way things turned out is good enough, is just the right thing to do. To be honest, I'm pretty sure this game is substituting for a lot of therapy that I need but I'm just not gonna seek otherwise haha.
Rom-coms have easy solutions? In my experience, real-life relationship issues are the most difficult things to come up with solutions for because they usually involve reconciling two conflicting points of view that both have merits. From what I have seen of such movies, though, they're usually really frustrating because it's clear that some attempt at communication would resolve the issue immediately. It's usually just some dumb misunderstanding that has me yelling at the screen, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST TALK TO THEM AND TELL THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?!" So yeah, I guess the solutions do seem easy, yet they never seem to pursue those solutions and you're stuck watching them be super awkward and stupid for a couple hours. I just find that really frustrating lol.
Mmm, murder snacks. haha
What is the double no-taster genotype? I guess I'm not very sensitive to mildly bitter stuff but I can taste really bitter things. I love spicy stuff and I'm not very picky in general so I guess I can appreciate a lot of flavors but that doesn't mean I don't taste them. Like, coffee can be bitter and I can tell that it is, but I still like it. I'm not sure what that means.
As far as how to eat the "bitter cucumbers"? I'm not sure because I thought they were so gross that I just couldn't really deal with them. I suffered through one of them sliced and dipped in good sauce but I just kinda...composted the other one I had. It wasn't worth it. I'm not a complete no-taster. XP
Unique.....Hmmmmmm.....That's relative to the person....What I think makes me unique might not be unique. It takes a lot to make a person unique, truly unique. Let's go back to the New Year Resolution question:
My new year resolution is not to have one so I don't have to worry about breaking it later and feeling a like I failed. :)
I'm going to answer the questions I've missed ^^
How is your home decorated? Well, I'm living on a house that belongs to my parents so I didn't really decorate it. What I added that wasn't here before are the plants, I try to put some green in every room because it makes me feel more at home <3
Is there something you would tell your younger self if you could? I wish I could tell my 16yo me to learn to love and accept herself. I wish I could show her that she didn't have to pretend to be someone else to fit in, because she would eventually find awesome people who would like her just the way she is.
What does your idea of a perfect date look like? I like simple things. The best dates I've ever had were just me and the person drinking some beer at a bar and talking, really getting to know each other. I also love to go out to dance!!! I met my boyfriend at a techno party xD
What makes you unique? I really don't know?? But maybe my name, Monique, and the fact that I'm very short and seem young and fragile, but I'm actually strong, opinionated and I love to take the lead!
xe/they/she
Unique? Hell I dunno. I got a weird sense of humor, but that's not really unique? You'd probably have to ask my friends... but they probably wouldn't be able to tell you either. I am 100% ME, that's what makes me unique! Ain't no one else like me!

[I]My personal answer: [/i] Just dropping in really quickly to post this. Off to celebrate (on my own) that I finished this semester. Passed the oral exam today :)
In 10 years, I'm 31. By then I'm probably done with uni and have a master's degree. I hope to work in a green start-up in order to make a difference. Still protesting on the streets probably but maybe with a partner by my side. Who knows. I will surely have a lot more pins in various places on my world map. Maybe I will live in Taiwan or in the Netherlands or maybe somewhere else entirely. Depending on how settled I am, I might have a cat or two 😍

I hope to at least get one book published or at the very VERY least...get one finished.
Catching up since I spent the past days watching One Piece and didn't do much on Subeta (I'm only at episode 137 still a looooooooooooooong way to go)
Is there something you would tell your younger self if you could? I don't think there is. Actually, there's something I want to hide from her. I don't want to imagine how she'd feel if she knew that more than 10 years will pass and her most important wish still wouldn't have come true.
What does your idea of a perfect date look like? Romance doesn't mean anything to me at all. Never been in a date and never even thought about wanting it.
What makes you unique? Everything about me is different from what I see in others. I'm saying this in a kind of negative way though. Being different is cool and all, but sometimes (and recently this has been a lot of times) I wish I was like the people around me: normal and boring. Because I'm different I haven't found people to call my friends yet or people who understand me. The people around me get along perfectly and have friends because they are all the same. All of them are people who think they are unique but they literally have no hobbies or nothing interesting about their personalities. Their minds are what bothers me the most. I'm not saying that I have a great mind or anything, afterall I consider myself a loser, but when I hear the conversations they have with each others I can't help but feel they are really shallow-minded (I hope this is the correct word of what I'm trying to describe - I really need to improve my English vocabulary). Most people I have seen in my life are similar to them. The people I'm talking about now are the ones I see (and sit around) in college, and I remember being bothered about the exact same thing when I was younger with my classmates at school. I think part of the blame lays on me for not going to new places and seeing new people other than what's offered to me. I don't seek online friendships as much as I used to in the past but even online I don't have anyone who understands me. Wow this is a very long answer and it still doesn't answer much haha
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? If a change doesn't happen or I don't start doing something to fix myself then I don't even want to imagine where my 33-year-old self will be. There's somewhere I'd really love to be in 10 years, but it's so far from where I am since I still haven't started working on it. And until I actually start doing something, I will keep seeing it as a ridiculous dream.
I always said I'd leave this place where I live, when my mother dies... It happened yes, but I'm nowhere even close to starting. I see myself somewhere in between the process of packing up and actually going to live far from this desert.
Yep, nothing. Romance is unreal, and nothing unreal exists.
(Edit: ok, with a bit of cleaning up I guess this comment is ok to leave here haha)

[I]My personal answer: [/i] When people ask me about a "fun fact" about me, I usually go with "I am banned for life in a Las Vegas Strip Casino" or "I was once treated by Pablo Picasso's former physician" oh and "I hitchhiked through Iceland" and a weird one is: "I have a phobia of in-ear headphones". There you have some random facts about me. Whether they are interesting is obviously subjective c;

Hmm now that is a question isn't it?
I suppose....
When I was in grade 2 we had to write and draw our own fairy tale story and the school would get it all laminated and made into an actual book for us to take home. Well my teacher liked my story and asked if she could keep it for the library.
Does that count as interesting?
