111. What was your closest brush with death?
I almost got hit by a car going across the road once. This was scary for a number of reasons. One, I was on a CROSSWALK. With an indicator light. The traffic lights were red. There was no advanced green! This car just whipped around the corner. Second, I was walking home from school. This particular intersection caters to two schools, an elementary on the one road, and up the other one, a middle school. Kids were everywhere. Third, this jerk didn't even think to slow down. He just whipped around the corner like he owned the place, squealed away to avoid me when I had the right of way, and then FLIPPED ME OFF. Yes, that's right. It was somehow my fault.
112. Where would you want to live if Earth was uninhabitable?
Jupiter is my planet. This is provided that all the planets are available. I'm a Capricorn. We like Jupiter.
113. Remember the last time you spoke to a person who later died.
I have to choose my grandmother on my mom's side. She died of renal failure in the summer a couple of years back. She was a huge part of my life growing up, so this loss was a big one. The last time I talked to her was on the phone when she was in the hospital, far away from where we lived. She was telling me about seeing the ocean from her "hotel room". The disease had gotten to her head at this point. The hotel was a hospital, and the ocean was nonexistant. The hospital was in Alberta. I was glad to have been able to talk to her at all, though. We didn't get to see her after she moved away, and she moved almost a year before she died.
114. If you were to die tomorrow, what would your last words be?
I love you.
115. Write about the last time weather scared you.
Probably this past winter, back when the "end of the world" was a very real fright in many people's minds. The weather really was nasty, and took the power out now and again. It may sound stupid, but hearing the howling wind has always been frightening to me. That and seeing the trees bend to it.
116. Who was the best teacher you ever had, and why?
My grade 9 English/Social Studies teacher. Because.
Close tie between him and my history teacher in grade 12, and my English/Literature teacher in grade 12.
117. Describe your favourite sound.
My cat purring. It's so comforting. <3
118. When were you your happiest this year?
When we went out for walks, taking pictures.
119. What would you do on a snow day?
Probably work! Vet hospitals don't close because of snow, you know!
120. What are you saving up for?
2 week vacation in Vancouver/Surrey in the summer.
