1) I have a lot of favs… probably the cookies and cream milkshake from Chick-fil-a. 2) Maybe spaghetti with marinara sauce? Idk, I have a lot of favorites. 3) Read, build LEGOS, draw, write, or just sew with my grandma to kill time :) 4) I like warm weather but not too warm to make you nauseous, with a nice, cool breeze. 5) I would say a dog, because my parents are allergic and I always dream of a big, ball of fur coming to lick my face when I come home from school :D

Contortion is, well, where people kinda bend and twist their bodies in unusual ways. I have extreme high ADHD, and doing contortion always felt like a way for me to move around and lose some stress. I know it's kinda weird, but somehow I love doing it lol.
