1- How many pigeons would you have to see in your house until you start to question if someone is putting them there?
Hmm, possibly only 2 just because we rarely have pigeons anywhere near here, but definitely after 3.

2- What color is math?
Orangey yellow

3- What does June smell like?
Warm pavement, dried sticky syrup, salty air, paint, and freshly cut grass.

4- If you woke up tomorrow with the ability to read a single mind, whose mind would you want to read?
Honestly, that sounds terrifying.
I guess Tuxedo's so I could help my mother be less bonkers when trying to figure out what he wants and where he goes when he's not here and who else is feeding him.

5- Which day of the week do you think best matches your vibe? Wednesday

6- Which kitchen utensil do you feel the most connected to? The large slotted spoon

7- Quick! Fuck, Marry, Kill: Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean fuck Pacific Ocean, marry Indian Ocean, & kill Atlantic Ocean (sorry, Atlantic Ocean, it's not personal)

8- If you could only dress in one pattern for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Plaid. It's about the only kind of pattern I wear anyway.

9- What did you dream about last night?
I don't remember beyond being vaguely unsettled by it.

10- If you had three wishes, what would you wish for? Personal wishes only. And no wishing for more wishes.
1. A new mattress (with very specific specifications). After that, I don't know. In most of these wishes scenarios, I give them back.

Put your mp3 player/phone/streaming collection on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results.

Oh, boy
Huh, mm
Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated
Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot
Do you do, do you remember
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
We were on fire
I get dirty thoughts about you
Don't panic, no, not yet
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Record scratch, Steve Miller Band
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I've got a record player that
This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames
I've got money in my pocket
They say when you smile
It's a mad, mad world, tell me not to be so mad about it
Is it so wrong if I don't pay my rent?
Call me irresponsible, call me unreliable
Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh

Food related questions that will make you hungry

What is a food you loved as a child but do not enjoy anymore?
Sardines
What’s a food you used to dislike but now enjoy? What changed?
Garlic. I hated it for a long time, but then I discovered pickled garlic, which somehow got to love regular garlic and now I just want it all the time.
If you could eat only one cuisine for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Asian (which is technically multiple cuisines, I know, thus possibly cheating)
What food instantly makes you feel comforted or happy?
Fries
What food reminds you most of your childhood?
It's a tie between tomatoes, strawberries, or mac & cheese
Are there any foods you think are overrated?
Caramel
What traditional dish from your country would you recommend to a visitor?
Not so much my country, but my geographic area: fire pit/barbecued salmon (in season) or oysters cooked in a campfire (in season)
or fresh crab boiled (in season)
Who is the best cook you know, and what makes their food special?
I'm going to say my mom, just because she is a good cook and she's always wanting to learn how to make new things

Getting to know me

origin of your username: Way back in the day, I made sure none of my usernames matched for reasons and at the time I made my AO3 account, this was a recent nickname because of my hair. I made my DW account not long afterwards and for some reason on a whim, I decided that my AO3 & my DW names should match, but only them.


i always order this food: It depends. Diner food: burger meal. Mexican: fish tacos. The local Thai restaurant: drunken noodles. Sushi: something with salmon. Breakfast: hasbrowns. Chinese food: I order something different every time. But if it's all unknown & I am not feeling adventurous, fries. They are the safe comfort food.


current overused emoji:
Apparently, it's the blue hug emoji.


current favorite show:
I'm in the midst of my big complete franchise rewatch of Stargate and it's eaten my brain anew.


current favorite book:
Hunger's Bite by Robin Taylor


current favorite video game:
Not really playing either one, but I've gotten back into watching a lot of Cult of the Lamb and Call of Duty fan content.


song on repeat:
"Free" by Florence and the Machine


last thing you really got into:
Author created character playlists for/from Hunger's Bite


oddly specific thing that brings you joy:
Squishing gummy bears between two fingers and watching them spring back into shape.


phone wallpaper:
Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff drinking beer


what smell makes you happy:
Old Spice Dark Knight shampoo


morning, night, or other type:
Night

what’s your work/profession:
Semi retired house/pet sitter, library furniture, & once a week bookkeeper
