A Nightmare on Elm Street: Top 5 fav songs rn?
Mm right now my favorites are Who you Talkin' To Man by Nostalghia, Saints and Liars by Gary Numan, Circus Minimus by JVZEL, Mad Visions by Royal Blood, and Therefore I Am by Billie Eilish--kind of a weird mix but honestly, it fits right now.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: What's your favorite food?
Aaaa this is really hard to answer! I have a ton of them 😅 One I find myself craving a lot though is Thai curry. There's this restaurant near me that does an red curry with chicken and mixed vegetables and it's absolutely amazing. The portions are also h u g e and it's really cheap. They also have great eggrolls and very strong/delicious thai coffee. Really, how can you go wrong with that?
Halloween: What's your favorite holiday?
Well, definitely Halloween. It's always been one of my absolute favorites. An excuse to dress up (and change your mind on your costume at least three different times) AND you get candy too? I see no downsides here. There's also just all the fun stuff that goes along with it--carving pumpkins, haunted houses and scary movies. I miss getting dressed up with friends and going trick or treating but now I just go buy a bag of candy for myself and have a horror movie marathon/maybe order some takeout. <3 Some years I go clubbing at the local goth/alt club instead and they usually have really cool costume contests so that's fun too. 🖤🖤
I also do really like Christmas. My family isn't really religious, but it's a chance to see a lot of them and do some amazing cooking together. We make pirogi from scratch every year, and there are always plenty of good cookies (and almond braid, and poppyseed bread). I think one of the most meaningful parts is the sharing of oplatek, a thin wafer. You break it and everyone exchanges pieces with everyone else in the room, and it's the opportunity to share words with everyone--ways they've made you proud, good wishes for them in the new year and just tell them you love them. It usually gets pretty emotional and maybe I'll make it through someday without crying at least once. Probably not though 😉
The Evil Dead: Do you have any weird/obscure interests?
Well, I mentioned my love for Medieval manuscripts in an earlier post but I also have a soft spot for old botanical illustrations, or medical texts. They both make really good art references, and honestly are just really fun to look at <3 I'm also really into typography/typefaces--both from a design and a history perspective. It's so cool to be able to look at how characters evolved and shifted from one thing to another--sometimes very gradually, especially when you start comparing it to all the other cultural/technological changes <3 Oh man, do not get me started--I will go on about history stuff.
Final Destination: What’s something everyone else hates, but you love?
Okay, this is kinda weird but cleaning/organizing stuff. I'm a liiiitle bit type A and it's actually something I enjoy doing? I get to listen to good music, and it gives me something repetitive/time consuming to do, so I think it actually makes me less anxious? And you always feel really accomplished when you're done/everything looks really nice too <3 I used to love doing product displays/doing the pastry cases when I worked at a bakery, and there's that very visual/design aspect to it--and the organizational one too.
Thanks for asking!! Was super fun (except for the whole 'accidentally deleting the entire thing the first time and having to re-write all of it' 😂)
