Prompt Answer: Morning Routine

Tell us about your morning routine.

My morning routine is to avoid the early morning as much as possible. I don’t like being awake before the sun at all. This morning was a bit different, what with an interview this morning and all that stuff. But, my standard morning is meds, hit snooze at least once, and eventually pull myself from bed.

Prompt Answer: Positive Impact

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

The people that have had the most positive impact on my life have been my chosen family members. That also occasionally does include genetically related individuals that have not fallen far off the family tree. But mostly it is a chosen family village across the continental US and across a couple country borders.

Prompt Answer: Creative

How are you creative?

I used to call myself a “self expressionist“. I’m pretty sure the only mediums I haven’t tried yet are just the ones that have been cost prohibitive. I write. I draw and paint and crochet and decorate and bake and cook. Tell really bad jokes. I am creative in every way that I can be.

Prompt Answer: Political Views

How have your political views changed over time?

I have always been against capitalism. I have always been an outspoken advocate for those who are transient or homeless.

I have only gotten louder, gayer, and fiercer in my belief that the world is not meant to be run by old white men alone. I mean, if you pick up any history book ever, that is why.

Prompt Answer: Biggest Influences

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

Bea Arthur for her moxie, intelligence, Marine Corps Women’s Reserve service, and just general amazing heart.

Robin Williams for all that he did for his family fellow man while battling his own demons.

Lucille Ball for her being clever, kind, hilarious, and more than just a little bit weird.

Leonard Nimoy, for being an amazing artist, actor, and poet. Also, to be the second guy that I ever thought looked good in blue eyeshadow.

I’m sure there are more, especially if you count fictional people.
