@rob-anybody  I loved the colors so much in the braid, but had no idea what was going to happen to it when spun.  It’s astonishing how the yarn turned (turns) out.

@figsandtea  Thank you so much!  Mittens sound like a great idea!  (We’ll see how far the yardage takes me.)

All right, here we go! I was tagged by figsandtea, and since I've already done this once I'm not gonna tag eleven more people, but I'm totally down to answer some questions.

What is your normal morning routine? If you have a different routine for weekdays/weekends you can describe both or choose one, either way.

On the days I work, I shower and fix my hair at night before I go to bed, so in the morning my routine consists of convincing myself to get out of bed, doing my skin-care thing (I'm like super into skin-care now for some reason, although my skin hasn't been this flawless since I started getting acne in 4th grade, so I'm not complaining), and finding clothes on my bedroom floor that don't smell too bad. When I'm not working I try not to get out of bed before noon. Ever.

If you could be any animal what would it be?

I'd definitely be a bat. Bats are the shit.

If you had to live in any previous time period what would it be?

That's a tough one. Probably Chicago during the Jazz Age. I write that time period very well so I think I'd probably do okay there.

Is there an item of clothing you absolutely cannot do without? Underwear doesn’t count here (unless it’s a corset or long johns or something besides boxers/briefs/bra/panties).

My leather jacket. That thing is badass.

Fuck/Marry/Kill: Prince Harry, Theodore Roosevelt, Queen Elizabeth (the first one).

Oh my god??? Fuck: Teddy Roosevelt, dude was probably a beast in the sack. Marry: Prince Harry, mostly because I've had a crush on him for years wow. Kill: QEI. (Sorry.)

What kind of car/transportation do you have/use?

I have a piece of shit Monte Carlo that my dad got me when I was fifteen, but since I don't drive (no permit, no license, I'm a rebel) my mom uses it. Every time we go somewhere I'm like 89% sure we're going to die. That thing is a death-trap.

What was your favorite toy as a kid?

I had this Woody doll, as in Woody from Toy Story. I took that thing EVERYWHERE. It even said all the things that Woody said in the movie; I used to be endlessly amused by pressing the little button and hearing "There's a snake in my boot!" over and over again.

Is there a book that you wish you’d never read?

I thought I wasn't going to have an answer for this, but then I totally remembered: back in my formative years I read this book called Shades of Twilight (which has nothing to do with either Twilight OR 50 Shades of Grey, funnily enough), and it was about this incredibly dysfunctional family where two of the cousins were in love and this dude's wife got pregnant by her biological father and the grandma was the murderer??? I'm pretty sure it fucked me up forever in terms of what I like to see in my fiction.

Is there a TV show you will rewatch for the rest of your life? If so what is it?

I like TV. Like a lot. So there are a lot of shows that I could watch and never get tired of. But as for one that I could go back to over and over again, I would have to say Queer as Folk, the US version. That show means a lot to me. 

What is the weirdest dream that you can remember having?

Fun fact: I don't ever remember any of my dreams unless they're nightmares. So imagine never EVER having a good dream, like ever. That's pretty much my sleeping experience. Luckily most of the time I don't remember my dreams at all, but every couple of weeks or so I'll have a real bitch of a nightmare, mostly involving having to go back to high school for some inane reason (my issues, let me show you them). I've also had several recurring dreams about these weird dog-monsters who try to get into my house and eat everyone. I'm not sure what that means.

If you could pick one snack food to eat for the rest of your life what would it be?

This isn't technically a "snack food," but it's my favorite thing to snack on so I'll tell you about it anyway: my mom makes this homemade cheese spread stuff, which is just like, shredded cheese with bits of bacon and green onion, mixed together with sour cream, topped on vegetable crackers. It's literally like my favorite thing on earth. So that's what I'd pick.
