Passing this on to my 10 favorite follows. The rules are that you're supposed to answer with five facts about yourself, but if not, don't worry! I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy following you.
Hmmm… I have such a hard time coming up with interesting things to share, but I love reading these things about other people, so I’mma just play along and not be greedy:
1) I did the whole backpacking around Europe for three weeks the summer after I finished uni and it was exhausting and not the most effective plan tourism-wise, but it was the most fun I’ve ever had. It led to the discovery that Dutch people are impossibly polite, even if you accidentally drop a heavy backpack on their heads and then get an inappropriate giggly reaction. I think it’s one of those things you need to do at the right time, though. (The backpacking thing, not the hitting Dutch people thing, though that too).
2) I find dimples pretty irresistible. Why thigh gaps and beards are a bigger thing than dimples, I’ll never understand. Dimples are, to quote Parks and Recreation, genetic and unattainable after all.
3) I am useless before 10 am and unlikely to fall asleep before 2:00 am
4) I recently read The Miseducation of Cameron Post, which is a coming of age novel about a girl who gets sent to a gay therapy Christian camp in the 90’s, and I think Cameron might just be one of my favourite characters in YA. The author explains her like this:
I also think Cam’s “universal appeal” might come from her near-obsession with sorting through her life, searching for small connections, puzzling things out, asking questions, making sense. It can be appealing to read from the POV of someone so curious about the world. She’s built of contradictions—overly romantic sometimes, world-weary others—but she’s ultimately, I think, generous and compassionate; she wants to find the good, the redeemable, in those around her, and when she does she recognizes it, even if that recognition doesn’t always last for very long or ultimately hold much sway.
5) As a kid, I used to write a lot. I mostly remember keeping a diary I called Eduardo (IDK, okay, I think I thought it was an appropriate name for an elegant, handsome and gentlemanly (bright pink) diary). Also, for years my group of friends wrote daily letters to each other (???). I still have a couple of shoeboxes full of those notes, I don’t have the heart to throw them away and they’re hilarious.
