50 Questions

Ahh. It's been a while since I did any surveys/questions about myself. I think it's good to do them so I can learn more about myself. Plus, It's also to look back on these when I like to take a walk down memory lane. Lets start shall we. 

1. What are your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?

My dad likes to call me "chuot" when I was growing up. Now, because of my handle name, people call me "Moogle" or "Mooglefett." You guys do know what a google is, right> XD

2. What books on your shelf are begging to be read?

 Can you guys recommend any books to read? I'll admit, I've been slacking off. >.<* Last book I read was Crazy Rich Asians.

3. How often do you doodle? What do your doodles look like?

  I actually doodle. A lot. They're mostly stick figures with silly faces on them. ^_^

4. What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive? When I can't sleep, I like to watch Netflix, or just have the TV on until I'm stupid tired. And no, I don't count sheep. What I find myself doing lately is making up stories in my head that I would like to see as a movie someday. I would often share that with my friends to get their input. And another thing I do, which i should seriously stop doing, is eating a ton of snacks right before i fall asleep, I think I finished a new bag of goldfish crackers last night. >.<*

5. How many days could you last in solitary confinement? How would you do it? Hmmm... I think I'm able to do that if I had all the gadgets in my room. You know. Laptop, music, game consoles, my cell phone... yeah... I could do it. Not sure how long tho.

8. When making an entrance in to a party, do you make your presence known? Do you slip in and look for someone you know? Do you sneak in quietly and find a safe spot to roost? When I go to a party, I want to look my best. Because when I look my best, I feel my best. And yes, I would attend parties with people I know, like my trustee girlfriends. I feel uneasy when I attend a party with no one to hang onto for the night. Otherwise, I'll just go, say hi, and bounce!

I remember an old man begging in front of the store. He would then go from one garbage can to another. He'll pick up recyclable items and eat any left overs that people threw away. My dad would always slice fruits and offer the old man some. When we leave, he would put money in his hand, shake the old man's hand, and tell him to get himself something to eat. It resonated with me.
