which parent do you find yourself resembling most & why

Well, physically I resemble my Dad. We have very similar body parts except that I am taller than him and my hair is not as wavy. My mother has a gap between her two front teeth just like me but that is where our physical resemblances begin and end. My parents never argued in front of me and always agreed on everything. So mentally I couldn’t tell you which one i resemble more. We are one.

please tell us what the moon is full of when it is full

what is your favorite summer camp memory?

When I was 11 I went to Super Camp. It was located at a small liberal arts college in New Hampshire. I learned how to think outside of the box and speed read. We slept in very small dorm rooms and my roommate was a very socially awkward religious fanatic that was sent there to try and learn how to make friends. He was thrilled to learn I went to a catholic school but I told him I wasn’t too into god. He asked me if jesus was outside of our door knocking where would I be. I said laying in bed with a pillow over my head. He then asked me why I was so comfortable sleeping in a room with a total stranger. I told him he seemed nice enough. He asked me if I would be upset if he played with himself while I slept and I laughed. He told me he could rape me while I slept and I ignored him. I was a little scared but played it cool. He then asked what color would your urine look if you only drank coke for two months. I said probably dark yellow. He then described the various forms of dark sludges that he imagined. A week later I could read a novel in an hour and I made many different friends from around the country that I have never talked to since I left.

where would you go with a full tank of gas?

I would drive back to my childhood.

everlasting influences?

I do not really have influences as in icons or heros. I am most influenced by my memories. My perception of popular culture and my day to day social interactions seem to influence me the most. I am influenced by the true meaning of nature. Nothing is unnatural. I am driven by the results of creation.
