21. obsession from childhood?
Horses. Also, comic books.
30. places that you find sacred?
I’m not religious/spiritual at all but I love the Pacific Ocean. Nothing like a drive on Highway 1 along the cliffs of the coast. And, like, the Owens Valley outside of Lone Pine? Maybe the most peaceful/beautiful place in the world (okay maybe just the state), and my favorite place to camp. You’re at the base of Mount Whitney, tallest mountain in the contiguous US, in the high desert, and the Alabama Hills are interesting to hike around, and in late spring it’s warm enough you can sleep with the rain fly off of the tent and just look at the stars at night. Last year we drove up there on a full moon in the summer and set up camp at like midnight and it was still 75 degrees and we didn’t even need the flashlights to put the tent up because the moon was so big and bright. It was kind of magical.
39. lemon cake or lemon meringue pie?
47. favorite type of cheese?
Um, like, all of the cheese? I fucking love cheese. But right now a nice baked brie sounds really good so let’s go with that.
