mochi - favorite studio ghibli film?
This is an unusual one, but Porco Rosso! It’s not that anyone really dislikes it, but it is just not as highly regarded as movies like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. For some reason the main character really speaks to me. It is also a period of history that is rarely visited by supernatural elements so I find that interesting and fun as well.
cupcake - are you a good cook?
Lol, not at all. It’s not that I couldn’t learn, I can cook a few things successfully, but I don’t really enjoy most daily eating. For me meals are basically filling up the gas tank so I can continue to function, and I will happily eat the same things for months or even years with only minor variations.
I have eaten 1-2 ham sandwiches prepared almost exactly the same way nearly every day for the past twenty years for lunch, for example. I got the same food thing going on pretty hard.
So because of that there has really never been a reason for me to learn to cook. I also hate dealing with dishes because I have some sort of sensory thing going on with my hands, touching water that might be dirty drives me out of my mind, so if I wash a sink full of dishes I have to stop to wash my hands 3 or 4 times during the process.
All of this combined means I have oriented my daily eating habits around creating as little fuss as possible for myself. I have learned how to make a few things that my wife and I both like that is a bit more elaborate for her sake, like I know how to make good noodle and vegetable stir fry.
My pleasure eating is mostly going to be about a good meal with my wife at a sit down restaurant or avoiding having to make food or a mess, like getting pizza for the family. Either way it is about reducing my stress and relaxing as much as having good food. Having to make it myself defeats the point of pleasure eating for me.
poppy - favorite pastel color?
#b5ead7, aka Magic Min, aka the typical pastel light green
But really I am not a big fan of any pastel color on it’s own. My second favorite dress is this color, but with white and red flowers on it. It makes a great base or background, and a pastel rainbow is very pretty.
I tend to prefer deep, cool colors. My absolute favorite is deep purple, then I go back and forth between green and blue.
Thank you, this was fun to answer!
