1 Very Long Day
I’ve been reading a lot lately. Using my Kindle Unlimited subscription for the best reasons. Smut, happily ever after, small town and somehow Canadian stories I can devour in a day and a half.
Continue reading “Of Spicy Stories and Sriracha Mayo”What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?
Too late and far too early.
I need like ten hours of sleep but I go to bed about eleven and my first alarm goes off at half six.
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?
I don’t really have ones. I buy good shoes, I guess, and comfortable non-underwire bras. I really don’t know.
What are you most excited about for the future?
The possibilities that it holds.
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?
So, for the sake of harmony, I’m able to let most things go. I’m bad at anger. Really bad. So… yeah. Mostly anything except being a hate-mongering human.
Describe your most memorable vacation.
Spring Break , 2009. The only time I ever went somewhere “else” for a Spring Break in college.
My old friend Geo and I road tripped to New Orleans just in time for St. Patrick’s Day and the crazy parades that come with it.
Good food, good times, and a lime green flip flop eaten by a graveyard.
On what subject(s) are you an authority?
Crocheting. That’s about it.
What’s your definition of romantic?
I find little things romantic. A brush of a hand across my head or shoulder, a quick squish of a hug just because.
Flowers, of course. I love flowers and think them a grand, romantic gesture.
How do you express your gratitude?
Honestly, mostly verbally. Just saying thank you.
What are you most worried about for the future?
Survival. The death of our country at the hands of a piss-poor business man who wants to destroy basic human decency for fun.
Have you ever had surgery? What for?
Only dental extractions. That’s it. I’ve got all my original parts still. No cybernetic, artificial, or otherwise not self-grown bits in me.
Nothing wrong with it, but I’m leery of surgery because I’m fat and afraid that medical professionals’ blatant fatphobia may kill me if they ever try to operate on me.
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
Look, I’ll be honest: I’m struggling to survive in this capitalist hellscape. I’m going to keep living as best I’m able and that’s about it right now.
What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?
I don’t know. Genuinely, so many of my memories are tinged with sorrow.
But I’d have to say, when I do enjoy food with positive memories, peanut butter mochi is among them.
