Meant to help if you use a pin to drain and then superglue the hole shut.

Superglue? Never thought of that. I've pierced a few blisters, but more often than not they just get infected. I guess superglue would close the wound, so nice.

I've never done it but it was in an article with a man who used to run long distance for days. Obviously he got loads of blisters and that was how he dealt with them. Had some interesting stuff in it.

I'd really love to be a long-distance hiker. The Appalachian Trail sounds like a life goal that I'll probably never do, but just walking in nature is one of life's great joys that I'm sad has been lost. One of the best things about disc golf.

A personality trait that runs in your family that you carry?

Studiousness, I guess. My male ancestors are doctors, teachers, engineers, and ministers.

Two features of your face are to swap places. Which? Ears where your eyes are? Nostrils where your ears are? Mouths for eyes and an eye where your mouth was? Mr./Ms./howeveryouidentify Potato Head!

I'd like a wild front ear.

Jazz or classical?

Classical.

Is the world moving too fast or too slow?

I'm 17; I have no frame of reference.

For a day you're required to wear a garment of your least flattering/favorite color. What kind of garment, and how would you make it work? Yes. You will be seen in this color, at work or school or whatever.

I'd wear a hot pink pair of socks. Nobody would really notice.

Would you rather... Go on a week-long hike and have to converse with your least favorite person (no, you cannot harm them) or be humiliated in front of all your friends and family?


I guess I'd take the week-long hike. Maybe we'd meet a bear.

I've heard that if you put anti-chafing gel (which is basically just silicone) on your feet it helps. That plus wearing hiking-appropriate shoes which are already completely broken in, as opposed to brand-new hiking boots which will immediately tear off all the skin on your feet and heels. The Appalachian trail would be nice, though I feel like you'd need to prepare for months in advance. I would probably immediately die if I attempted it in my current state. Also, how does one decide if you go alone or with others? Going alone seems like the obvious choice to me, but who knows!!! (My ex wanted to do the Appalachian trail with me but I declined because he was too irritating, in general, as a human being)

The Pacific Crest trail looks appealing right now, too. I'd go with that one, I think.

Hiking alone sounds boring to me. Walking a nature trail for a few hours is great, but for any longer I'd love someone to experience it with me. Someone to bounce bull**** with while the tedium of long walks takes hold and makes me want to do anything but walk. But to make a serious try at anything longer than a day hike on the Appalachian Trail I'd feel the need to train for at least six months.

Easy going-ness, maybe. Most of my mother's side of the family is a jovial bunch. I don't let most things get to me. You have to try incredibly hard to get in a verbal fight with me.

Two features of your face are to swap places. Which? Ears where your eyes are? Nostrils where your ears are? Mouths for eyes and an eye where your mouth was? Mr./Ms./howeveryouidentify Potato Head!

Switching position on your ears for a day might be trippy. It would sound like everything is coming from the opposite side of what it is. Stereo channels flipped.

Jazz or classical?

Classical, I think. I'm not deep into either, but classical seems to run deeper in terms of expressive variation. In a desert island scenario, classical would definitely be my choice.

Is the world moving too fast or too slow?

Too fast. Every time I've accepted something terrible about our future, there's a new thing I have to absorb. Plus I have to google new internet lingo all the time. Internet memes and fads also blaze by so fast you never really found out what people were rambling about before they lose interest and it's over.

For a day you're required to wear a garment of your least flattering/favorite color. What kind of garment, and how would you make it work? Yes. You will be seen in this color, at work or school or whatever.

I think bright orange looks bad with most things. A big orange winter jacket. Then I'd wear no pants in order to draw attention away from it.

Would you rather... Go on a week-long hike and have to converse with your least favorite person (no, you cannot harm them) or be humiliated in front of all your friends and family?

I could take the humiliation. I don't have much of a sense of pride and dignity to shatter.

Hard to say. My mother was renowned for her kindness, tolerance and forebearance; I like to think I inherited that from her. My father is a selfish, arrogant, self-obsessed ****. I like to think I did not inherit that trait from him. I guess honesty too. Or I could be lying here.

Two features of your face are to swap places. Which? Ears where your eyes are? Nostrils where your ears are? Mouths for eyes and an eye where your mouth was? Mr./Ms./howeveryouidentify Potato Head!

I'd like one eye to transfer to the back of my head, so I could never be taken by surprise.

Jazz or classical?

Classical.

Is the world moving too fast or too slow?

The world is moving, as it has always done, at approx 1040 mph.

For a day you're required to wear a garment of your least flattering/favorite color. What kind of garment, and how would you make it work? Yes. You will be seen in this color, at work or school or whatever.


It wouldn't matter, as I neither work nor go to school, so the chances of anyone seeing me are zero. Maybe hot pink jeans?

Would you rather... Go on a week-long hike and have to converse with your least favorite person (no, you cannot harm them) or be humiliated in front of all your friends and family?


This is a tough one, as I don't hike and would not look forward to the prospect of doing so with a person I did not like, but then, in a week it would be over, whereas being humiliated in front of everyone would leave a lasting scar, so, the first one. Just.
