Skies are blue

hello!

i used to do blog quizzes alot when i was a child - like 13/14? 

and now it is so hard to find blog quiz questions online wow. i think everyone has migrated to vlogging instead. 

but because i am traditional and i love just typing away on my computer (hence ze blog url), here is a a 200-question quiz i manage to find on conversationstartersworld.com called "Casual questions to get to know someone". 

not sure if i will make it to the end! not sure if you will make it to the end either, or if you'll get bored halfday hehe. 


1. What shows are you into?

these days it's good, light-hearted tv shows, like modern family/b99. or indie movies (the humanist/thought-provoking ones, not the weird lovey-dovey mainstream stuff like say 500 days of summer/wallflower. my fav director-producer is Linklater!) and i'm not very into all the fighting/political kind of shows like GOT/kingdom. not a korean romcom person either. i might watch it if it's on tv, but thats about it.
