What is good about having a pet?
For me, my cat Spock depending on me to take care of him has gotten me through some pretty dark times.

Prompt Answer: School Subject
What was your favorite subject in school?
My favorite subject in school was history. I wanted to major in Pre-Colombian American History in college, but that fell by the wayside. I’m still four classes short of my AA; hopefully some day I can go back to college and finish my degree.
Prompt Answer: Time
Do you need time?
In a word: always.
More time to sleep. More time to focus on my mental health. More time to be creative and write or draw or crochet.
I always need more time.

Prompt Answer: Family Member
Describe a family member.
Larger than life, with a contagious laugh and a heart both big and weak. My dad was an amazing, flawed human. He was six foot, blue eyed, and a fantastic cook. He did nothing in moderation, at all. A self-proclaimed hedonist and a Toastmaster.
Prompt Answer: Exercise
What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
I’m always down for a good wander, a good walk or something. Maybe a bicycle ride, but I’ve not been on anything but a stationary bike for over a decade.
Prompt Answer: The Moon
How much would you pay to go to the moon?
I don’t know that I would go to the moon, if given the opportunity. I’ve got brain gremlins, mental health struggles, and am store-bought neurotransmitter/serotonin dependent as well as insulin resistant.
That makes for a miserable time between leaving Earth, landing on the moon, and then the trip back. Especially when I would have access to yeet myself out an airlock.
All in all, it would be hell… probably.
So, nothing. If I could go for free, with enough meds to get there and back, and enough yarn to crochet on the journey, I’d go.
Answer Prompt: Specialty
What food would you say is your specialty?
Sadly, for my lactose intolerant partner, my two main specialties are Alfredo sauce and sausage and cheese stuffed shell.
Prompt Answer: Historical Events
What major historical events do you remember?
Hmmm.
Most of my memories are either of the 90s or the twenty-teens. The aughts, from about 1999 to 2009, are a blur of homelessness and transient living.
The first few that come to mind are:
Oklahoma City Bombing, 9/11 and the clusterfuck of racism that followed, Columbine, the Soviet Union being dissolved (had a Communist in the family), the horrors in Rwanda… Clinton getting elected twice and his little tussle with being improper. Y2K and all that…
Oh! Hurricane Andrew! 1992 was the year and I lived in Tamarac, Florida. I learned to play rummy and backgammon with four generations of women in my great Grandmother’s house as the storm roared overhead.
Lots of little things that might not have made the memories of others.
Prompt Answer: Risk
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?
The biggest risk I’d want to take is going to live on my own in a decent trailer or tiny house.
