surprisingly i havent posted before on this thread
* (crucify me) i say depeche-ay mode because pronouncing it like "depesh mode" really only sounds good when you're speaking with a proper french accent (since it's a french phrase, "fast fashion" or to directly translate, "hurry style") and i don't want to make a fool of myself in front of those who don't speak french, plus depeche-ay sounds cooler
* growing up, my dad's record player was in the living room of our house, when we moved he packed it up and only brought it out around october of last year after i'd convinced him to, and when he set it up, i remembered the very distinct smell of it, some weird forgotten childhood memories lol, it's my favourite smell
* bauhaus is one of my favourite bands, however had i not found the bela lugosi's dead t-shirt in the basement of my dad's workplace where all of the weird things that were left in the house we live in before we moved into it, i probably wouldn't have found out about them or gotten into goth culture at all, since my dad didn't think i would've liked them because i love synthpop so much and bauhaus isn't even remotely synth-esque
* once when i was around four or five years old and has some loose teeth, i stood in front of my mother's mirror and puled both of them out, right there in her bedroom. i wanted to get three dollars for them because i had lost three teeth so far yet i only got a dollar
* since around february of last year i've tucked all my shirts into my pants, it's become a habit. one day i realized that the shirt-tuck wasn't always the best look and that i didn't need to do it every day, so now i have to remind myself to not constantly tuck tuck tuck
* i once had to get an MRI of my brain that had something to do with cerebral palsy, and the lady there had a few DVDs of some movies (i was around eleven years old in a children's hospital so of course the movies were all for children) so that the patient had something to watch while getting the MRI done since it lasts about two hours i believe. i chose harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban, which happens to be my favourite harry potter movie. watching ron weasley act like an idiot with a fluffy updo while feeling alarmingly odd pains in my head is probably my weirdest expererience
* my favourite memory isn't very poetic or anything life-changing or romantic. i was in a five guys parking lot in the car with my dad while my mom was getting the food. our car has a bluetooth pairing option so that you're able to pair up your phone with the car's speakers and play music off of it, and my phone was paired. ceremony by new order started playing and my dad cranked it up to a frightening volume, he told be about how it was his favourite new order record that he owned and he played it so much in his youth that it was terribly worn out. i like that memory a lot because i love my dad and new order means a lot to me as a band, ceremony is a bittersweet song but i think of my dad and what he was like when he was younger every time i listen to it
* i had a bet with my mom once that if i was as tall as her (she's 5'3" i believe) by the time i turned twelve she'd have to buy me a bunch of chocolate bars, i lost the bet because she discovered that i was only as tall as her when wearing a pair of shoes that were slightly platformed
* both writing teachers at the previous two schools i've been to asked me if i practised writing avidly in my free time or had a writing tutor/mentor/etc after i had handed in my first writing assignments to them, the answer is no
* i tend to talk wayyy to much as you could assume from this post, i worry that people find it annoying but what i've mostly gotten from others is that they like it because it means they don't have to talk that often during conversations with me
