what made you happy today?
I’m going home today! And the very best part is that I get to see my brother who is like my best friend and who I haven’t seen in over 2 months! I also bought Daim candies which happen to be wonderful.

You asked...
how tall are you/how much do you weigh? I’m kind of jealous of how pretty and skinny you are.
I am 5’6” and weigh about 135lbs. Pretty average I guess.
can you pleeeease give me the info about the program you are doing for vietnam/
WHAT PROGRAM ARE YOU DOING, BY TEACHING LITTLE KIDS ENGLISH
im doing the same exact thing taking a gap year
i just don’t know what sort of program to do
I’ll answer these two together:
I’m working at a school in Hanoi called Hoa Sua which is a place for underprivileged youth to come and get hospitality training (like, housekeeping, table service and cooking/baking) so that they can get good jobs. I’m working with a friend here teaching English to the table service class. It’s loads of fun, but I kind of had an in here because we knew a guy who worked with the school. Apparently if other volunteers wanted to come work here they would have to come through some sort of organization.
what’s your tumblarity/how many followers do you have
Currently? 1,533 followers and my tumblarity is 1,594. But it was past 9,000 a couple days ago. Funny how that works.
If you could have three things in your life at this very moment what would it be?
1) A bowl of cereal
2) A boy to be in love with
3) and a comfy bed.
If you already had a boyfriend[who’s not so hot and doesn’t have six-pack abs and big biceps], would you still be wishing you had someone who’s hot with six-pack abs and big biceps?
Hahah. Depends, I mean if I really liked the boyfriend aside from his appearance, then I don’t think I would really care. But if he was kind of a tool, then yes, I might as well have one who is attractive. /shallow
hola, i’m marcela from mexico.
i found your blog just today, i loved it.
you seem a little crazy, and i mean that in the best way possible :)
i’ll bake the marbled chocolate cookies tomorrow,
wish me luck!

Hola, I tried to write out something in spanish as a reply, but it’s been too long since I’ve practiced and I couldn’t figure out how to say what I wanted to. Anyway, I’m glad you like my blog, thank you, and good luck with the cookies - when I made them they were really good!
favorite poem or poet
ack, that is a really good question. I wish I could give you the answer right now, but honestly I can’t really think of any off the top of my head. If I was home I could find an answer because I have some written down, but now I can’t remember. Sorry! If you have one though, you should post it in my formspring :)
I wish you still went to youth. Silly growing up. Is it as scary as it seems, growing up?
Aw, I wish I still did too. It’s weird to go somewhere for 6 years and then all of a sudden have to stop. I went to College & Careers right before I left, but it just wasn’t the same. It’s not scary growing up though, it’s really fun. Well, okay, sometimes it’s scary, but once you get past the scary parts it gets awesome and you look back and are grateful for the scary parts.
More questions!
would you risk everything for love? what about your best friend? :/
Hm, interesting question. I have never been in love romantically, but when I think about the strength of my love for my family and some of my friends, I think I would be willing to risk a lot for them. I mean, I can’t honestly think of anything in life that would make me happier than someone I love, so I don’t think there’s anything I would need to put before love.
what makes you smile just thinking about it? i have so many…one is when my little sister and i went into work and sang/danced around to every taylor swift song we know…and we work in a public place. haha good time
I have a lot of things! I guess I’ve had a pretty good life that way. One memory that will always stick out to me is this:
It was the end of an amazing week at the summer camp I volunteer at, and all the campers had just gone home. After cleaning up and eating dinner a few of my good friends and I decided to take a boat out onto the lake. And so we all piled in, turned on some chill tunes and then went for a ride around the lake while the sun set in the west and golden light sparkled and danced off the water. We joked and laughed and I was just completely, overwhelmingly happy.
You are nice and pretty and your blog is nice and pretty. Also, why are you in Vietnam?
I’m teaching english at a school for disadvantaged youth! And thank you :)
Maybe I was meant to have a broken heart, but then again… maybe it’s just ennui.
I think that there’s always something to learn when you get your heart broken. You can become a wiser, stronger person, and even though it sucks, it’s not completely hopeless.
I just looked at you page with all the answers on it…wow, you have been to sooo many different countries! Did you just go on vacations, or studying abroad? I’m so jealous, I haven’t been out of the US.
Just on vacations. My siblings and I were all homeschooled and my parents were semi-retired, so we traveled a lot! It’s really awesome going to new places, you should do whatever you can to go on a trip and see the world.
Every time I watch Smallville and Clark visits Chloe I think “Hey it’s ventisette!”
Haha, really? That is so cool. She’s really pretty!
On any given day, sexual intercourse takes place 120 million times on earth. Get some!
Interesting, how do people figure out these things? And I think I’m okay for now, thanks.
Most tropical marine fish can live in a tank of human blood.
Um. Does that mean if I injected a tiny fish into my veins he could live happily? Haha.
which are your favourites tumblrs?
I like everyone I follow, but off the top of my head? I really like
52hearts (she seems a lot like me)
robot-heart (wonderful photos)
La Joie de Vivre (I feel like we would be good pals)
Ryan Purtill (terribly funny)
alakazannah (she just has so much character)
and sunlightandmocha (is gorgeous and has nice photos)
I want to be best friends with you.
awesome! email me? jillianalice@gmail.com
It’s weird how i feel like i know you so well. like i feel like i could hang out with you and talk to you about a thousand random things that we would crack up about. it’s odd having that feeling about someone you’ve never met.
Aw, I don’t think that’s weird, I totally understand. I wish we could meet in real life.
Who are you really?
Honestly? Basically who you see on my blog. I mean, I spent a lot of my life kind of concealing who I was and acting a different way than I felt. But in these past few years I just realized that I actually like who I am and I’m okay with being just that.
I think about boys a lot. I overanalyze situations to death. I am sarcastic and cynical. Yet bursting with hope and optimism in a strange paradox. I love making people laugh and spend the majority of my time laughing. I flirt with boys who I’m friends with and get shy around the ones I really like. I play games on my iPod and listen to the Republic Tigers, Sufjan Stevens and the Weepies. I talk pretty much constantly and I like to bake. I think more than I do. I love my family. I am insecure sometimes and can’t look in mirrors around other people because I prefer to act like I don’t care how I look and not let myself care, than to show how much I want to. I make fun of people a lot. I believe in God and try to live a life that shows his love, not his judgement. I am sometimes confident and sometimes a hermit. I like being alone for hours and with people for days.
That’s who I am. I hope that answered your question.
Just wanted to say I love this post on your blog: http://ventisette.tumblr.com/post/22075494

And yeh, I’m a guy, a romantic, and poet.
Wow, let’s be friends!
I could care less
About using proper grammer. I mean its not like anyone cares. And if they do their probly a looser anyways. And a nerd to. Did you here me? Your a nerd!
^upon reading this first part of your post, i was quite disappointed in you.
(this caused me physical pain to write, haha)
^but then i read the second part and figured you were kidding. so it’s okay, i still think you’re rad. haha ;D
Haha yeah, that was the point. I wasn’t even going to include the second part, but then I realized that a lot of people probably wouldn’t pick up on the fact that I was joking and I would lose a lot of respect, haha.
What is your ‘personal’ opinion about the increase of ticket prices for concerts, shows, local and nation wide tours? Please don’t answer, “you agree with them, to support the band”. Do you think it’s far marketing the popularity of a certain genre, knowing that the kids have their parent’s wallets by their side.
Totally lame! I happen to be really cheap already and while I really enjoy live music I already feel that it is way too expensive for me. I don’t think that anyone should have to pay more than 20$ to attend a concert and that other revenue should come in from merchandise and just… selling lots of tickets? And you’re definitely right that a lot of these concerts, especially big name ones which attract younger crowds are being largely funded by parents and it is evil marketing to exploit that. Clever, yes, but still evil. Expensive concerts make me MORE inclined to want to go download music, so that really isn’t helping anything. I mean, I am glad to support artists, but it should be within a reasonable budget.
weeee!
we went camping in the summer and my boyfriend was so drunk he put my jeans on. i went to watch the stars and saw my first shooting star. it was a crazy night in all honesty.
that sounds like so much fun, some of my best memories have been while camping.
What kind of music do you LOVE?
I love soft acoustic stuff like “World Spins Madly On” by the Weepies and “I’d Rather Be With You” by Joshua Radin, and also fun bouncy stuff like this. Those are the things that either move me or just get me really excited.
you have pretty eyes! oh, um, not a question… well, how is it going?
It’s going super well! My life is so great right now, I honestly couldn’t be happier. I hope you’re doing well too :)
soo… i hear you have visited new zealand. what was that like? you could say i’m basically obsessed with all things kiwi :)
You know, I wasn’t actually as impressed with it as I thought I would be. I mean, the landscape is beautiful, you can’t argue there but we drove around to a lot of smaller towns and there just seemed to be a lot of old people and sheep. Haha, personally I was a huge fan of Australia though.
hello! I just wanted to say that I think you’re really pretty (and cute with your silly faces) and I sincerely doubt you’ve never been kissed. :)
Oh why thank you very much, kind stranger. And rest assured, I would never lie on my blog and the fact that I have never been kissed is a veritable truth.
I’m not sure if this will be as comforting to you as it is to me (you know, that we’re in the same boat), but I’m seventeen and I have yet to receive my first kiss. Not that I’m in a hurry to plant one on the next boy who looks my way, I just thought it was nice that we have that in common.
Hah, this seems to be a reoccurring theme here with the kissing, but yeah, it’s nice to see that I’m not the only one that’s missing out. I’m sure we’ll both be kissed in due time though and hopefully it will be just as nice as we’re expecting! Haha.
What does GPOYW stand for?
Gratuitous Picture Of Yourself Wednesday. I really take the “gratuitous” part to heart.
I like how your GPOYW/Silly Face Saturday photos have a film-like look. Is there any sort of process you use? Photoshop?
Haha, yeah I photoshop them a fair amount. And I couldn’t really tell you any stable technique either, it’s normally just a random mix of different effects. Lately I’ve been big into increasing the exposure offset though, for a more muted look. I usually fiddle with them for like ten minutes though, trying out different things. But I’m no Photoshop expert, I just try simple effects.
