Hi everyone, my name is Evelyn! The question I chose is: Where would you like to go in the world and stay for a year? In regards to that, I would have to say Ecuador. I know it’s a bit unoriginal to choose one’s parents native country, but I think that’s where one has the most fun. I mean, currently this February, they are celebrating “Carnaval,” which is basically a week long of fun. Legally, you are allowed to throw water, flour, and eggs at anyone that you see. Aside from festivities like these, the nepotism there goes crazy in terms of grandparents. For example, if your grandma or grandpa are well-known back home, you’ll be fine, which is exactly my case. Overall, I think the pleasant environment and lack of stiffness there would make it enjoyable for a whole year, not to mention the food.
I got to know Liki in class and I asked her what type of humor she preferred in which she replied, jokes that insult people. Before there is any confusion, she means jokes similar to funny gaslighting and very personal that would make the person laugh. I think this is something she and I have in common as whenever someone I know has their birthday, I always makes jokes regarding gray hairs, popping knees…etc. Apart from this she told me her parents are her heroes for the sacrifices they made, as well as a Japanese business woman that is her idol due to being an example of female empowerment. I don’t recall the other parts of conservations yet I really enjoyed talking to her.
My best friend and I also have a similar sense of humor where we always gaslighting each other and throwing insults left and right. I feel like that type of friendship is what makes two people connect on a deeper level.
Hi Evelyn! My friend from high school is also from Ecuador. She even got me a keychain from her trip there. Carnaval sounds really fun. I would love to be able to throw water, flour, and eggs at anyone. I would use that to my advantage and seek out certain people to throw a bunch of water and eggs at.
I also like that type of humor. I also like to jokingly insult my friends. I also like sarcastic humor. Humor really tells how close people are. If you are able to accept those insults and throw it back at each other, it shows how close people are.
