I like these survey things that are usually written by and for teenage girls, even though I'm not one of them. I like it when other people do them too, because I like finding out about people.

Here is one of them!

2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?
MY SOUL MATE, whoever that might end up being, if indeed they're out there at all...

3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
This wouldn't say anything about me so I won't bother!

4) What do you think about most?
Love, and how I might find it, whether I ever *will* find it, and how I'd survive without it...

5) What does your latest text message from someone else say?
I am so pathetic that I have literally never sent or received a text message. That's like saying I don't breathe or something in this modern world, right?

6) Do you sleep with or without clothes on?
I wear an elaborate clown costume complete with huge rubber shoes and face makeup. Either that, or I sleep nude out in the street. Either that, or I wear pyjamas. Yes.

7) What's your strangest talent?
Sadly, I don't feel I have any 'talents' that could be called 'strange'! Or at least I can't think of any right now.

8) Girls…. (finish the sentence); Boys…. (finish the sentence)
Girls are nicer; boys are too aggressive. Surely my naive bitterness and frustration is palpable here.

9) Ever had a poem or song written about you?
I wish.

10) When is the last time you played the air guitar?
This is not a thing that I would do.

11) Do you have any strange phobias?
I'm absolutely terrified of brains, as in the organ, its appearance... Most of my nightmares involve them, and I can't tolerate gore at all if it might include them in any way. Even cartoons with them in are unwatchable to me. It's a strange phobia, but a REALLY strong one.

12) Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose?
NO BUT I STUCK A FOREIGN PERSON UP THERE ONCE AH HAH AHAHAH HAHAAH H H HA HA.
By which I mean 'no'.

13) What's your religion?
I am not religious.

14) If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?
Probably walking around hoping someone will talk to me even though they most certainly will not!!! ;_;
By which I mean 'heading to or from the shop, probably'.
I'd love to go out for frequent walks, but I've nobody to go with so it's just too lonely to bother.

15) Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it?
Neither!! But if I was forced to choose and threatened by death, I'd definitely say behind it. I can't look at photos of myself, and few exist because of that.

16) Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band?
My answer is actually really simple because I don't like any bands at all! The music I listen to is instrumental and by composers (classical and video game stuff), not bands.

17) What was the last lie you told?
I said I stick foreign people up my nose. Oh, gods, I never should have said that. It was just too awful and deceptive and, well, I weep now at the memory of it. I weep so much.

18) Do you believe in karma?
No.

19) What does your URL mean?
My URLs are 'fighunter' and 'alorafane', which have meanings based on the games I make, but if this means my username, well... Pseudolonewolf is a FAKE LONE WOLF. I always liked the idea of being a 'lone wolf' - especially that term because I like wolves! - but I NEED other people and can't survive alone, hence the deceptiveness of that. It's more like I deceive myself though? Like I say I'm a loner, when I really can't survive like that. Like this. I really am a loner these days though and it's unbearable.

20) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?
My greatest weakness is my pickiness, perhaps. Or my jealousy. Both highly admirable and appealing traits, surely. That pickiness makes it really, really hard for me to find things or people I really enjoy being around, which leads to my loneliness... and the jealousy means that even if I were to find someone right, I'd probably be torn up about how much better their life was than mine, since they'd certainly have a bunch of friends and stuff already, while I wouldn't.
I'd love to say that my greatest strengths are things like genuinely caring about others and being empathetic, as well as being self-motivated enough to teach myself all my most important skills, but both of those feel like they're faded these days due to the frustration of isolation.

21) Who is your celebrity crush?
I've never had one. I don't think of these famous pretty people in that kind of way...

22) Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
OH ALL THE TIME, in puddles in the middle of the road. By which I again mean 'no'.

23) How do you vent your anger?
I never really get what I'd call 'angry', and it worries me how many people openly do... I mean, I never, ever scream and shout or even raise my voice, and I certainly don't punch and smash things. Instead, I get 'frustrated' a lot, which is like a frowny sort of simmering that I vent through writing journal entry things here and another site that I made.

24) Do you have a collection of anything?
I like the idea of collecting things, but I don't think I've ever really become attached to any one thing for long enough to gather what I'd call a 'collection' of it!

25) Do you prefer talking on the phone or video chatting online?
Typing in a computer, ideally, where I can think about what I'm saying... I'm anxious when I have to speak with my human mouth, and the idea of a video conversation scares me.

26) Are you happy with the person you've become?
I don't know. I don't think so. There are certain aspects of myself that I do like and wish that other people shared - such as my pacifism and consideration of others and such - but I've basically become a bitter recluse and this is no way to live. I'm constantly seeking an escape, but it's hard to get out of a huge pit like this once you've fallen in. I admire and greatly envy people who are happy, and who write journals here on deviantART about loving their friends and watchers and such.

27) What's a sound you hate; sound you love?
I hate the sound of eating! I can't stand it! Eugh! Horrible! I like gentle and unusual sounds, but I can't think of any examples!

28) What's your biggest "what if"?
What if I NEVER meet anyone, any friends, a person to love? Would life even be worth living? How many years of that could I tolerate? At what age would it simply be too late to meet anyone?

29) Do you believe in ghosts? How about aliens?
I'm intrigued by ghosts, though I'm doubtful that they're human souls haunting the world. Rather, I imagine they're something psychological?
As for aliens, I think it's silly to think that we're the only life in the entire universe, UNLESS the universe was a simulation specifically set up to have us as the only life here. I don't know about aliens visiting us, but I do think that if their technology allowed them to flit around the galaxy with ease, then they might keep an eye on every planet with life, quietly watching, with a 'Prime Directive' sort of rule that prevents them from interfering.
I'm not so convinced by the stories of hillbillies being sucked up into saucers, but I am still intrigued by 'ufology' in general!

30) Stick your right arm out; what do you touch first? Do the same with your left arm
My right arm touches nothing, emptiness, the void, just like the empty hole that fills my heart these days. O woe.
My left arm touches a piano. Yes.

31) Smell the air. What do you smell?
THE AIR. Or actually, basically nothing because my nose is bunged up. Ugh!

32) What's the worst place you have ever been to?
I don't know, I tend to want to avoid bad places... I can't think of anywhere.

33) Choose East Coast or West Coast?
Asking me this is like asking an American to choose between Lancashire and Yorkshire, probably.

34) Most attractive singer of your opposite gender?
Wasn't there already a question like this? Young girls and their physical obsession with rugged pretty boys! Makes me envious and such.

35) To you, what is the meaning of life?
To use what I have to create something that I can enjoy... And to find love, since I really can't imagine life without it.

36) Define Art.
I use this word to describe stuff that has been creatively made, usually without a pragmatic purpose. I'm not really interested in pretentiously discussing what "Is Art" and so on.

37) Do you believe in luck?
I often say that I have a 'poor Luck stat'...

38) What's the weather like right now?
Cloudy and overcast, like usual.

39) What time is it?
1:28pm. I hope you understand more about me from this piercing question.

40) Do you drive? If so, have you ever crashed?
I don't drive, no, though I wonder if I'll need to learn one day... I don't trust myself with my life, and I don't like the thought of sharing a road with a bunch of, well, HUMANS. I'm looking forward to those self-driving cars though! I'd have one of those, I think.

41) What was the last book you read?
I've been reading 'Snuff', a Discworld book, for like 12 weeks, on and off. o_O

42) Do you like the smell of gasoline?
I call it petrol, and no, I really hate it. I used to hate how my step-dad would stop his car at the petrol station and leave the door open while he filled it up. Ugh. Vile.

43) Do you have any nicknames?
The people on my website have called me nicknames before, but I've never embraced them myself.

44) What was the last movie you saw?
We watched Rango in class yesterday, which I also happened to have seen for the first time just a couple of weeks earlier!

45) What's the worst injury you've ever had?
I'm not exactly a PHYSICAL DAREDEVIL, so I don't remember having ANY real injuries... Cuts and scratches are probably all that I can think of. I've never broken a bone.

46) Have you ever caught a butterfly?
No, though I caught a damselfly as a child... It makes me feel sad, though, because I basically sentenced it to death by doing so. D:

47) Do you have any obsessions right now?
I am obsessed with finding friends?!? And, uh, really, really bad at it and putting basically no effort into it? Hmm.

48) What's your sexual orientation?
het man yah i likes me sum ladys

49) Ever had a rumor spread about you?
I can't remember... It's been so long.

50) Do you believe in magic?
I wish it were real, but see no reason to believe that it is!

51) Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong?
Yes. To an absurd extent. I literally can't read comments by people on my website who've written comments that made me feel bad a certain number of times, even though it's been years since that happened. It's just not worth the pain, though.

52) What is your astrological sign?
FISHIES.

53) Do you save money or spend it?
It's rare that I spend money; I'll never understand what it's like to be the sort of person who, after getting money either from their job or a prize or whatever, immediately spends it all on one big splurge. Seems so irresponsible! And I have little interest in material possessions anyway.

54) What's the last thing you purchased?
Hmm... Pokemon X, I think? Well, other than food, anyway.

55) Love or lust?
I could never have sex with someone UNLESS I was deeply in love with them... Being a man, lust does drive me a lot, but it comes in waves, sort of; sometimes I feel it strongly, then a week later it's not in my system at all. My longing for love is ever present, though; I just wish I had something to QUENCH it.

So there you go. I bet everyone who reads this knew all this already, but I find these things entertaining for whatever reason anyway.




PLEASE NOTE: I write about what's on my mind in these journals a lot, but it's largely to vent and to find people who can relate to what I say, to hear understanding and to know I'm not alone, rather than for people to try and *solve my problems* through advice or criticism or anything like that.
I really appreciate comments, but please keep this in mind! Thank you for reading!

YAAAY, SURVEY-THINGS!

2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?

That depends. Are we talking strictly real-life, or can they be fictional? Because if fictional is in, then Skulduggery Pleasant. The Doctor would've been my first choice, but alas, he spends much of his time out in space...

3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
"No, not particularly."

4) What do you think about most?
Fictional characters and settings. People don't know it, but I play make-believe with myself pretty much all the time.

5) What does your latest text message from someone else say?
Ooooh

6) Do you sleep with or without clothes on?
I've heard it's nice to sleep in the nude, but I have two little brothers and privacy is not a thing apparently, so clothes aren't optional.

7) What's your strangest talent?
I can move one ear at a time. Lots of people can move their ears, but I'm the only one I've met who can move them individually.

8) Girls…. (finish the sentence); Boys…. (finish the sentence)
Girls are people. Boys are people. I wish everyone could understand that sometimes...

9) Ever had a poem or song written about you?
My grandpa wrote one. It was never published. I was six at the time.

10) When is the last time you played the air guitar?
Uh... never?

11) Do you have any strange phobias?
Elevators. I'm afraid they'll get stuck, or fall down, or a number of other such unpleasant things... *shudder* I'm not really one for exercise, but I'll take the stairs whenever possible.

12) Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose?
Not as far as you know.

13) What's your religion?
Acceptance.

14) If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?
Heading towards inside. And probably getting hives or sniffles.

15) Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it?
Behind it, but only because I dislike having pictures taken of me. It just feels... I dunno. Unnatural? I don't like it. (I'm also a terrible photographer, just FYI)

16) Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band?
[insert last band I listened to]

17) What was the last lie you told?
How do you know I won't lie about the lie I told? HMMM? Think about it.

18) Do you believe in karma?
No, just cruel irony.

19) What does your URL mean?
My singular URL is aud.ition, which is my blog/resume-thingy. My stepdad owns .ition and .itory (not .itty, sadly, that one has potential), and my name is Audrey, so it's also a delightful little play on words.

20) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?
One and the same: overpowering empathy. It seems like some days I can walk into a room and tell what everyone around me is feeling. Is that a strength or a weakness? Depends on who you ask. I really don't know.

21) Who is your celebrity crush?
David Tennant. You never forget your first Doctor.

22) Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
Ha, no.

23) How do you vent your anger?
I try to distract myself from it, get busy doing other things until I can think about it more rationally. I don't like fighting with people, so I usually cut myself off when I get too angry. And if all else fails, vent art.

24) Do you have a collection of anything?
Tiny stuff. I just can't get enough of it. Miniatures, dollhouse furniture, small figurines... anything that is a smaller version of bigger things.

25) Do you prefer talking on the phone or video chatting online?
I'm super awkward on both. I'm with Pseudo on this one, having an undo button is a handy feature that doesn't come with talking.

26) Are you happy with the person you've become?
Eh, I dunno. There are plenty of small ways I feel I could improve, but I don't feel any great need to do so. Conversely, I can think of a number of large ways I could be much much worse. So I guess I'm fairly neutral about myself at this moment in time.

27) What's a sound you hate; sound you love?
Any loud, sudden noises. That's basically my instant panic button.

I really like the sound of shattering glass/ice, which is pretty bizarre if you think about it...

28) What's your biggest "what if"?
That's... private.

29) Do you believe in ghosts? How about aliens?
I don't know. I believe in the afterlife, or at least that there's something else after we die; I kind of have to, otherwise my Grandpa and my uncle are just... gone. Which hurts too much to ponder. As for ghosts specifically, until I have solid evidence/personal experience to prove or disprove their existence, I'm going to keep an open mind with a healthy bit of skepticism.

I think that there surely must be other life out there; if the universe really is infinite, then the odds actually support it. As for alien abductions and that sort of stuff, I'm taking the same attitude as my view on ghosts. Other life may very well exist, but if it was advanced enough to find us before we found it, I think they'd stay the crap away.

30) Stick your right arm out; what do you touch first? Do the same with your left arm
I hit my right arm on my dresser! D:
I think my left arm can stay right where it is after that, thank you very much.

31) Smell the air. What do you smell?
My room? Nothing, really. (Man, wouldn't it suck if snot had a smell? A really nasty one? Eugh.)

32) What's the worst place you have ever been to?
Over-crowded public school cafeteria. Which sounds weird, but it's true. I have this recurring nightmare where I'm in some sort of cafeteria, but no matter which line I get into, they're serving glop. I can even get out and go to the end of a completely different line, but I always wind up at the same place, with an angry lunch lady staring me down over a ladle of sludge... Also, I feel like I'm going to die the entire time.

33) Choose East Coast or West Coast?
Neither! I like it here in the middle.

34) Most attractive singer of your opposite gender?
*shrugs* I'll listen to nearly anything, but I honestly have no idea what most singers look like.

35) To you, what is the meaning of life?
That's a loaded question. Does something need to have a meaning in order to be good or enjoyable? If you really insist, I guess the meaning of life is to live it.

36) Define Art.
Hmmm.... art is something someone creates because it has meaning to them. That's what I think.

37) Do you believe in luck?
Yes. I don't have any. I believe in statistics and probability, too, but neither of those can explain why I always need to flip USB cables over two times to plug them in. Mathematically, it's quite astounding.

38) What's the weather like right now?
It's been snowing. All. Day. Long. I miss the sun.

39) What time is it?
12:48 in the morning. I should go to bed.

40) Do you drive? If so, have you ever crashed?
I don't drive, firstly because we can't afford a car/insurance, but also because I'm terrified that I would crash...

41) What was the last book you read?
The Sociopath Next Door. Turns out my biological dad is one, trying to come to terms with that (and have been for years)...

42) Do you like the smell of gasoline?
No, it gives me a headache. Easily one of my least favorite smells.

43) Do you have any nicknames?
Aud. Just Aud. Which is pronounced 'odd'. Make of that what you will.

44) What was the last movie you saw?
How to Train Your Dragon. I love that movie.

45) What's the worst injury you've ever had?
In the summer of 2006 or 2007, I tripped on a couch cushion my brother had decided needed to be on the floor for reasons unknown, sprained my ankle horribly, and banged my leg just above it on a small step in our living room as I fell to the floor, giving myself some of the worst bruises I've ever had. All of this right before a trip to the movies, which was hastily cancelled in favor of x-rays, and also a camping trip the following weekend. I stayed at my aunt's house. On the plus side, I'm now really good at using crutches!

46) Have you ever caught a butterfly?
No, but not for lack of trying. I found a dead bee, stinger-side-up, with my bare foot instead D:

47) Do you have any obsessions right now?
No, but it probably won't be long now. I kinda cycle through two or three big ones.

48) What's your sexual orientation?
Not a clue. Never been in any sort of relationship other than 'friend' or 'family member', so I've never found out.

49) Ever had a rumor spread about you?
My third grade teacher told the class I was mentally retarded one day when I was home sick. Wasn't that kind of her.

50) Do you believe in magic?
I so wish it was real. I could use some magic.

51) Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong?
Not really. There are some people I just can't stand to be near very long, but they're always guilty of some incredibly terrible stuff. It takes a lot to really get under my skin.

52) What is your astrological sign?
Pics Piec Pec The one with two fish that starts with a P.

53) Do you save money or spend it?
Save it. I don't have a job and rarely come by money that doesn't need to be used right away, so I tend to jealously hoard spare cash for months, carefully deliberating on what to use it for.

54) What's the last thing you purchased?
Uh... *thinks for a minute* Also Pokemon X, actually. Still haven't beat the Elite Four, though; waiting until I can transfer certain Pokemon over.

55) Love or lust?
Love. I think I'd be too timid to be driven by lust, even if I did feel it towards someone.
