None of your effing business, that's how.

"Oh, you have [insert arts or liberal arts] degree. Are you going to teach?"
I love how most people think because I have anything except an education and communications degree I'm going to teach. It's not that the education degree is a given as much they don't expect them to use it at all. The logic with all of this just...wow. I even get it from advisors.my etsy store

surrounded by plush, downy things,

"Your name is Topher? How did you come up with that?" Sure, it's an unusual name, but isn't it obvious?Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

I hate the question, 'So what made you return to England?' No matter which country is being discussed prior to this, leaving was not a happy event, so please.. just accept that I'm here now and leave me alone. ^^夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?

"Is that a Satan star?"
Seeing as how I live in Alabama, I get this a lot. You'd think after living here for so long it wouldn't annoy me as much anymore.
Nope definitely still does. I know they're just curious and they lack that knowledge, but still.."The fire could not be tamed with the wind,
nor the wind suppressed by the flames.

merely results in Grey." -Ville Friman

Re: What question do you hate being asked?
I live in Seattle. I visited th UK in the early 90's and now that you mention it I don't remember being asked there what I did. I major in Math online, so it must be hard for people in the mundane non internet world to be able to see what I am doing with my life right now. It still irritates me. I mean, around here here I can be sitting in a coffee shop and people won't even talk to me if I don't tell them what I do. Anyway, math isn't like selling clothes or driving a bus. It's an intellectual occupation and I doubt most of the people who are asking me what I do can understand what I do anyway.

"What's your name?"
You are a stranger talking to me and making me uncomfortable simply by standing near me. If I'm not behind a counter w/a name tag on, or someone I'm starting a bank account with, you don't need to know my name. And that includes you, Starbucks.The forum member formerly known as perzephone. Or Perze. I've shed a skin.

Re: What question do you hate being asked?
Hmm, dependent on circumstances, all of them.
Some questions are only hated when asked by specific people, some are hated if asked online, some are hated in general.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
