1. Have you ever been in a life-or-death situation?

Well, there was this one time when I had gotten my allergy shot. I had a dermatology appointment right after, so I went to it and all. I was coughing and getting really sleepy during the whole appointment, and my mom was all, “Dude, what’s up? It’s rude to be sleepy and stuff. Blah blah blah.” And then my madre is all like, “Whoa. Are you having a reaction?” so we went over to the allergy doctor side, and they were all like “OMG, she’s having a reaction,” and they put me on straight up inhaler medicine for thirty minute, gave me an emergency epi-pen adrenaline shot x 2 in my thigh and overdosed me on Benadryl. And then I was fine. The end. Oh, and another time, in middle school, when I was in the sixth grade, they almost had to call an ambulance to the school because I was having an SVT episode, and it wouldn’t stop. But, right as we hit the thirty minute mark (when my cardiologist says to call 911), it started to slow down. My SVT used to make my heart beat as fast as 255, I think? Maybe higher. Not so fun times.

2. Where in the world have you traveled to?

I’ve only been to Canada, Mexico and Belize. I hope to visit Argentina, Australia, Rome and Spain sometime. I haven’t really traveled the world so much as I have America.

3. Are you happy?

I suffer from depression. I have ever since I was little. Right now, I’m not in the best of moods, but I probably will be tomorrow, maybe even later tonight. I’m just thankful I have an amazing father who understands me and knows how to break me out of my little spells. He’s truly wonderful. I owe him a big present on Father’s Day. He started with just one woman who commonly goes through “depressed moments” I guess you could say, and now he has four. I’m pretty sure its hereditary from my mom’s side. Me and all my sisters act generally the same. Well, I’m not sure if Alyssa, the oldest, has it. She seems pretty normal. But yeah. Little things set me off causing me to hate my life and waste days focusing on all things negative. I end up convincing myself of things that may or may not even be true, and I get all upset over it until days of convincing myself to snap out of it. Yeah, I have issues.

4. On scale from 1 to Hermione, how much do you like to read?

I love reading, but I don’t think I love to read as much as my two best friends. They probably like reading morethan Hermione. Impossible, right? Well, think again. They’re avid, avidreaders. Forreal. But anyway, my favorite type of book to read is one that involves romance. I prefer the ones that seem real, like it could literally happen. I like ones that have all aspects, not just the cheesy, “I just met you, and I love you,” kind of thing, but ones like “Flipped,” “Stargirl” or “The Summer I Turned Pretty” series by Jenny Han, where it’s sad, sweet, with drama that wouldn’t seem like drama to others unless they experienced it and basically a normal protagonist that I can relate to because they aren’t too pretty, too talented, too amazing. They’re just normal. I also love suspense books with a tinge of mystery or action like “The Hunger Games” or “The Giver.” OH OH OH! And I love historical fiction books. Especially ones that revolve around the Elizabethan era.

5. What are some of your deepest regrets?

Missing chances that could have changed my life for the better. But then I think of all the awesome things I have now and realize that if I hadn’t made those mistakes, I might not be in the same place I am now. And I’m thankful for all my mistakes because, without them, I wouldn’t have met all the amazing people I call friends now.

6. Is this the real life or is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide? No escape from reality? Open your eyes, looks up to the skies and see.

7. Have you ever been head-over-heels in love?

I’m not sure if I’ve ever been able to pinpoint the feeling love until after that person that I love is gone. When the doctor came out and said, “We’re doing the best we can, but..” When my father came over, attempting to hug me, telling me, “She’s sick, and we’ve done all that we can. She doesn’t deserve this torture,” when my puppy was sick. Saying this, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been head-over-heels before. I’m recently started thinking over whether I could be in love right now. I’m not sure if I have or if I am. All I hear is, “You’ll know when you’re in love,” and that scares me. I’m terrified that I’ll never get to experience it. Or that I’ve experienced it so many times that I’ve overlooked it.

8. What is one of the deepest most touching things someone has done for you?

I’m not sure that I can remember the most touching thing someone has done for me, but I know that a lot of my friends have said and did little things that meant the world to me. They text or confront me when I say, type or do something that leads them to think something is wrong. Basically, I love my friends. They know me and understand me. They’re always there for me, and that means everything to me. I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

9. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

ChaCha informed me that “She was last seen hanging out with Waldo. But I have no idea where in the world that is.”

10.Where would you rather be? A ginormous castle or a nice, secluded forest? Why?

Castle. I love exploring mysterious places. Castles generally have secret passageways and hidden rooms.

11.What are a few things you’d bring back from the past?

Castles. In the past, everyone had castles. Everyone should have castles now. AND crazy Marie Antoinette hair. And the Beatles. All the Beatles need to be alive and together and making amazing music. And Grecian-Roman wear with golden laurels. I’d wear that every day.

1. What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done?

2. Who’s the most annoying person you know? Why are they so annoying?

3. Who do you like, if you like someone (as in a crush; I’m nosy)? Why do you like them?

4. Have you ever lost a friend due to the mistakes of one person or another? What happened? What stopped you from trying to mend the friendship?

5. What is your dream occupation when you’re older? Why do you want to be/do this so badly?

6. What’s the biggest life-lesson that you’ve learned?
