Friend Survey

Awhile ago, I realized that there is a lot I don't know about my friends, particularly my internet friends, so I put together a survey to send to everyone who gave me their address. You probably know that if you are reading this. Here are my answers.


Name: Chelsea Anne Clark

Birthdate: May 18, 1989

Occupation: babysitter

How long have you been doing this? 
As my main source of income, since February

Is this the best job you’ve had? If not, what was?
Yes. I was never happy in retail. taking care of kiddos gives me a sense of purpose and I actually feel like I'm helping people. It can be very frustrating dealing with toddlers, but mostly it's wonderful.


What is the worst job you’ve had?
Key Holder at Cotton On. My manager had been so wonderful to me as an associate, and then she totally changed on me when I was a key holder. I had to close 6 days a week most of the time, almost always by myself. I worked off the clock all the time, and still I couldn't get everything done they thought one person could do.

What’s your dream job?
To travel the world and write about my experiences in a way that says more than "Look how cool my life is!" but is meaningful for people from all walks of life. I also want to write some novels.

Describe what a typical Tuesday looks like for you:
I get up later than I probably should, and get ready. If I am lucky, I have to drink so tea and catch up on some Cereal Time. Then I head to Little Baby Buddy's house for 4-6 hours. I read him lots of books, sing some songs, take him on walks, and go into the backyard to go to the sandbox, which he usually abandons in pursuit of the rocky area of the yard where he enjoys running in circles around the table as I chase after him to make sure he doesn't step in dog poo. After that, I head home and eat dinner, watch some TV, probably some baseball, maybe some Netflix. I'm not actually sure where most of my evenings go.

Describe what a perfect day off would look like for you:
Wake up around 6, put on a striking Disneybound, and then head to Space Mountain and gallivant around Disneyland for 16 hours with awesome people.
More realistically, I'd wake up at 10, have brunch and tons of tea with great gals. Catan would be played for many hours, until we get distracted because we love talking to each other to much to be bothered to do anything else.

What are your top 5 favourite music albums?
I hate myself for this question and I can't actually choose so I'm cheating on my own question
Forget and Not Slow Down by Relient K
Talking Is Hard by Walk the Moon
Kaleidoscope Heart by Sara Bareilles
Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars
My Head Is An Animal by Of Monster and Men
Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson

Who’s the best band you’ve discovered recently?
The Hunts

Describe where you currently are, including anything you’re doing besides this:
I'm sitting on my bed, which is where I spend most of my life. It is very messy. The rest of my room is also messy. I'm very apathetic about it. I have a Netflix tab open, as well as the Adagio site. I'm drinking some cucumber water. I'm listening to my favorite albums on Spotify.

What are your top ten favourite movies?

Ten Things I Hate About You
The Little Mermaid
Inside Out
Hairspray
Singin' In the Rain

What was the last movie you saw in the theatre and what did you think of it?
Inside Out, which I was seeing by myself for the second time, and to which I Disneybounded as Joy. I've been screaming my good opinion of this move since the first day it came out.

Love, Actually
