Adventure Is What You Make Of It

1. Apart from tumblr, what do you like to do in your spare time?

Hang with tumblr user spetharrific…and paddle canoe…and work out in general…and snowboard when it’s winter. 

3. If you married rich and your spouse gave you $100,000 a week, what would you spend it on?

Buying and fixing up used cars…also snowboards and musical instruments. Probably would donate a good chunk of that too…100,000 is a lot of money. I’d also like to buy my Dad a porsche and send my mom on a food tour of southeast Asia. 

5. If you were given the opportunity to spend 48 hours with absolutely anyone (living or dead), who would you spend it with and what would you do?

My great-grandmother (my mom’s maternal grandmother). I was named for her. She was the third wife of my great-grandfather (he was a very rice man) and she survived the Japanese and Communist occupation of china. She survived torture at the hands of the communists and years of starvation that followed. 

7. What do you spend most of your money on?

Drank.

11. What is the strangest thing you have in your room? (You are not allowed to explain why you own it.)

A 3d model of a Klein bottle. 

13. What would you consider to be the biggest insult to yourself?

Being called a coward. It’s okay if people think I’m immature or if they think I’m a jerk but being called a coward is just the worst. 

17. Name a favorite of each: band, album, song.

The Classic Crime, Plans by Death Cab for Cutie, As Long As You’re Mine from Wicked

18. Why is your favorite band your favorite?

Because they have consistently awesome songs and I love every one of their songs.

19. How many concerts have you attended? Which was your favorite? Least favorite? If none, who do you want to see live the most?

I’ve been to the Fray, Keane, two Warped Tours, seen Josh Bell once, Sarah Change once, Itzhak Perlman twice, Midori once, and SF Symphony countless times. My favorite was Keane purely because they’re so good live. They’re always right on pitch-wise and the energy is awesome. Least favorite was Midori because she played modern classical music which is not my favorite type of music. 

something/someone I dream of the most: As of late I’ve been dreaming of a white summer…been obsessed with snowboarding for the last couple of months. Usually people I know don’t show up in my dreams. 

Cinderella: There are a lot of quotes that I really like…here are some of my favorites:

“We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it’s our job to invent something better.” – Chuck Palahniuk

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

 “If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.” - Winnie the Pooh

The place you would escape to:  Right now I’m craving some snowboarding…so somewhere with champagne powder…

• Given that I’m not committed to much, I’m probably the most committed to doing well in school, helping out the canoe team…
• Upcoming adventures? None that I have planned although you and I should plan a weekend adventure for this weekend (I don’t think I have any responsibilities to take care of).

Just for fun? My cousin is getting baptized and some of my family is super catholic so I just wanted to understand the place they come from…

watching the Voice and reading the bible. 

Yes, but most of the time I wear contacts…so that I can wear fake glasses if I want to.
