Runaway - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

What are some things that you consider a waste of time? Why?
Worrying about the future. I mean, I do it too, but I know it's a waste of time. It's good to know what you're gonna do further on, but you shouldn't worry about it too much. No one can be sure if they're still going to be alive tomorrow.
Studying useless subjects. Because we all know some of us will never use calculus or heat & electricity in our lives. Exams are also retarded, they should just let us learn what we can, and what we didn't, well, maybe we didn't need it. Exams are purely memory skills, it's retarded.

What feeling do you have the most difficult in expressing?
Uhm, I don't know what the right word might be for it, but I'm pretty bad at showing people I care about them. Except for my boyfriend, I have trouble telling people "I'm there for them" or that I love them. If they say it to me, I probably won't say it back. It's just not in me. I guess they'll figure out one way or another that I do care about them. I like to show it in other ways, like doing little things for them now and then.

How do you think you would handle yourself in a crisis situation?
First I would be freaking out, but also very excited (?). After all of that was gone, I would probably handle things in a very mature way, organize my priorities and stick to them.

How would someone be able to tell if you were happy?
I am able to smile, so that's one thing. I will probably eat more than usual, whistle, do everything faster. Talk a lot, and not be annoyed when people ask me things. I'll probably even sing and dance a little.

If you had the power to shapeshift, what would you turn into first? Why?
My favorite animal, the black panther. Because then I would run across the jungle, and jump through the trees. Nothing can compare to that feeling of freedom.

How often do you cry? What can bring you to tears?
Almost never. Before I met Patrick, I hadn't cried for over a year or two. And it's not that since I met him he's made me unhappy at times, it's the fact that everytime we separate, I can't help ir, and I cry.

What is the best thing about being a male/female?
For starters, I love the male body. It's absolutely amazing, beautiful, and capable of so many things. Being a man can make you feel at times, like a protector, and it's a nice feeling. You don't have to have a girlfriend or a little sister to feel that way, it's just something that comes with being a man. I know it might sound sexist, and I know that there's plenty of women that are stronger than men, but still, we feel stronger, and more capable of dealing with some things. It's a strange feeling of power, which shouldn't be abused.
Females may have a great variety of clothes, but men's clothes are so much better. Maybe I'm also saying a lot of this because I'm attracted to men, but still, we smell better (in my opinion), our arms provide a feeling of security that a woman could never have, etc.
It's good to be us.

Do you enjoy hugging people? Do you enjoy receiving hugs?
Not really. There's only certain people I like to hug. Don't ask me why, they're just huggable. It doesn't always mean I love them more, there's people I love but I just don't like to hug. It's weird, but that's how it works.



What do you feel is your number one flaw? Are you doing anything about it?
I can be very cold, and short-tempered. No I'm not, I embrace it. I know it makes me look like an asshole, but for some reason, I like that part of myself. I like it that there's something in me that's wrong, and that people don't like. I don't wanna be that guy that everyone likes, and who lets people stomp on him whenever they want. I like being that guy that won't tell you nice things just to make you feel better, I wanna be the guy with only a few friends, but good ones. I don't wanna be fake and try to put on a retarded smile and make conversation just to be polite. I like being imperfect. I enjoy every second of it.

What is a talent you wish you possessed?
I really wish I had a natural talent for writing. I like writing, but I make a big effort to do it. I wish it just came naturally. I wish I could write as good as my dad, so I could one day work in something that involves writing. Who knows? Maybe I can continue to develop this skill, and one day it'll be more than a hobbie.
