Prompt Answer: Red Flag

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ 7 Comments

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

There are many things that can be boiled down into lack of empathy or compassion. If you don’t care about other people, can’t put yourself in someone’s place when they’re reaching out to you, there is something wrong with your ability to connect with your fellow humans.

Prompt Answer: Farthest from Home

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ 2 Comments

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

That’s a tough one. I’ve gone to New Orleans back in 2009? But normally when I’m traveling somewhere far, it’s pretty much to relocate. From Chicago to Florida, Florida to Texas and then back to Florida, and another round of the Florida to Chicago hop ended me in Indiana this time around.

So I guess the farthest I’ve ever travelled from home was the 09 spring break trip. And that was… let me look it up… 773 miles, give or take.

Prompt Answer: Ideal Home

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ 1 Comment

What does your ideal home look like?

My ideal home is a small cottage made of local stone, with a chimney jutting out of a dark, shingled roof. A Dutch-style front door would be almost always open to the good weather, season permitting. It would be cherry red and always open for friends. The floors would be made of wood. Perfect for sock skating and for laying down upon a plush rug in front of the massive hearth around the fireplace. The fireplace would be wood burning and cooking-functional, in a perfect world.

A guest room would double as a craft room, with a closet of relatively organized crafting supplies. A guest bath would have a lovely shower and a toilet. Homemade blankets would bedeck every couch, chair, and bed.

Speaking of beds, the master bedroom would have its own en suite bathroom, with a tub big enough for me to enjoy a good bath. And the master bedroom would be my little nest of blankets, pillows, and comfort items.

It would be a home. Mine and mine alone, even if I share it with Mellon or another hypothetical potential future partner.

Bookshelves with books and dust catchers, cat hair needing to be swept up once a week, and a garden that I barely have to do anything to (maybe I have a gardener, maybe I have my own Samwise Gamgee to tend it!) have it grow well.

Home is what I want more than anything.
