(Almost) 15 Questions for 15 Followers
Thanks to @sassygirl579 for tagging me! There are actually fewer than fifteen questions below, because some earlier answerers opted not to answer some for privacy reasons. The original fifteen were posted by @aroace-moron , but since I can’t find the list on that person’s blog right now, I am fine with sticking with the ones that were passed on to me.
1. Are you named after anyone?
Yes, a great grandmother whose name is a near anagram of mine.
2. When was the last time you cried?
This past weekend (last Sunday, and it’s now Friday), when visiting an octogenarian friend and sometime fellow musician in the hospital, as it brought me right back to my dad’s last days.
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Not often, and when I do it’s usually only with people I know and trust very well.
5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
Eyes and voice, mostly. But I do pay attention to clothing and jewelry elements a lot too.
6. What’s your eye color?
Dark brown.
7. Scary movies or good endings?
Oh, definitely good endings. I don’t do well with horror, and that has been the case ever since seeing parts of Carrie as a very high-strung preteen.
8. Any special talents?
I can play a musical instrument with both hands and both feet simultaneously! (Really—I play organ!) I also speak some German, know Latin and classical Hebrew proficiently, and have decent reading ability in several other European languages.
10. What are your hobbies?
Music (well, I guess that’s on a semiprofessional basis), fan fiction writing, cooking, a little gardening, reading (when I can).
11. Do you have any pets?
Yes! A big, beautiful, smart, spirited male ginger mackerel tabby cat named Percy (Percival), who we think is about four years old (he’s a rescue so it’s unclear).
12. What sports do you play / have you played?
Do yoga and Pilates count? I have done both but not for a while and probably should get back to it. Also a wee bit of bicycling.
14. Favorite subject in school?
Math, and I started out as a math major in college (as a double major with organ), but did kind of an about-face when I realized I enjoyed music more. If I could redo college, I would make my second major something like German language and literature.
15. Dream job?
I already have a job I like very much, as an editor in a music publishing house, and I occasionally moonlight as an organist and singer.
