Open Questions
Why are you filling out this questionnaire?
I saw this questionnaire on the streets and i love having and making new friends so well here we go!
How many "close friends" (by close friends I mean people that you see more than twice a month if they live in the tri-state area or if they are a long-distance friend that you speak with at least twice a month) do you have?
I would say more than 20 close friends.
Do you listen to Billie Eilish? If so, why?
Not really. Sometimes I listen to Happier than Ever because it lowkey is a good song and also See Me In A Crown has a really good sound to my ears.
It's Saturday morning! What time are you up and what do you want to do with the day?
I wake up at 9 and then i drink coffee and go about the city. Idk where I go it’s usually different everyday.
Have you ever had an existential crisis? How did it come about and what was your ultimate takeaway from it?
I definitely have when it comes to my art and wanting to succeed in the arts. I took away that it isn’t about succeeding; I don’t even know what that really is, but as long as I’m making art and feeling good about the art I make then that’s all I need.
You are at a party and a topic comes up that you could go on and on and on about that nobody else knows anything about. What is the topic and would you talk about it or not talk about it?
Musical Theater. I could talk about it for hours if given the vacuum but i’m good at controlling myself.
What do you think about feminism? How did you come to that conclusion?
I think everyone should be treated equally. We’re all the same. except Robin Bailey.
If there was an alternate reality in which you had a debilitating, life-altering addiction, what would you be addicted to?
Ants in my pants.
What are your dreams?
My dreams are really weird sometimes, very life-like and real quick which frightens me sometimes but overall they’re fun!
Do you believe in ethical consumerism or is it a drop in a giant well that has already been dug by multinational corporations so it doesn't matter?
Idk enough about the topic to speak on it, but i do consume a lot!

I had a really good friend named [REDACTED]. I basically lived with him and I dated his sister. Later on [REDACTED] starting showing very jealous traits, hating on my clothes but dressing like me, hating on my music but listening to the same artists, hating on my art but copying my work… It was an endless cycle. I decided to stop talking and hanging out with him and I broke up with his sister. We spoke years later and it was so annoying and he was so condescending.
