Fighting Words

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

Is that your real hair?
No, I shot it on my last hair hunt. This is my sanctioned trophy as the Ancestors decreed.

Why are you so emotional?
Who hurt you? Was it Mother?

Why do you care about these people?
Why are you a garbage person made of garbage? Look at you, a sentient trash can. A walking dumpsterfire. Gross.

 

*”Was it Mother?” is a quote IYKYK

Frying Pans & Fires

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

Failure is the kid that yells, “The Emperor has no clothes!”

It opens your eyes to who’s fake and who’s real
and all the lies you have to stop believing.

Success is turning way from the imperial procession
and doing your own thing.

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

There are mountains, there are molehills, and there’s my family: a f-cking tsunami. #dailysnark

Excuse me

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

Because this feels like one of those trick questions… #dailysnark
