So, @kindclaws and @marauders-groupie tagged me in this and I can’t say no, really. What I can say is that work has melted my brain into a puddle circa 2 weeks ago, so don’t count on me saying anything that makes sense. Also, there might be some tmi. Just saying.
1. do you make your bed? Only if I’m in the middle of a really bad anxiety crisis, when messy rooms can fuck up my mind way too hard, or when I’m hosting big events (think: Christmas, World Cup, any&all family holidays or else I’ll listen to my dad go on and on about it for the rest of eternity)
2. what’s your favorite number? Eight. 8 is infinity and power and also a symbol of wealth and prosperity and I’ve always loved that.
3. what’s your job? Crying my eyes out in my cubicle then manically smiling to anyone who looks at me so they’re too scared to ask me what the fuck is going on. Can sometimes involve me punching my laptop.
4. can you parallel park? No. Not at all. Would I parallel park in whichever way I can manage should the opportunity arise, even though I never got a license, don’t own a vehicle, and would certainly wreck the entire car while doing it? Absolutely yes.
5. a job you had which would surprise people? I painted on children’s faces at kids events, even though I don’t like children at all. It really wasn’t that bad, the kids were always excited and cute, and also screaming at mothers who refused to let their young sons choose things like hearts and butterflies because they weren’t manly enough for their 5 yo was a great outlet for my pent-up anger.
6. do you think aliens are real? To quote my beautiful friend Lana: Why the fuck not?
7. can you drive a manual car? Well, my dad taught me to, so theoretically yes. But, as stated above, I don’t have a license. And also the only times I drove, I was pretty furious, the car was never mine and I always, always destroyed some part of it. I once ripped a Land Rover’s rearview mirror with a tiny, tiny J3. Don’t ask me how, I don’t know.
8. what’s your guilty pleasure? Only the pleasures I don’t partake in, and let me tell ya, it’s not often.
9. tattoos? A grand-total of 8. I’ve got a sun on my ribs, the world on my shoulder, Aries’ constellation on my wrist, tattoos with both my parents on my legs, a quote from my favorite childhood book on my back, a moon behind my ear, a crown on my chest.... There’s a lot of them.
10. favorite color? I truly, honestly, do not understand how people can choose that. I love all colors. Red is my power color and gold makes me feel like a fucking goddess. Blue is the sweetest of colors and lavender calms me right down. So yeah, I don’t understand how people can choose that so easily. (But, y’know, pink).
11. things people do that drive you crazy? I’m kind of an asshole when I’m in a grumpy mood? But the surest thing to drive me mad is trying to force me to do anything.
12. any phobias? Cockroaches.
13. favorite childhood sport? Dance! Love it wholeheartedly, practiced for 8 years until I fucked up my ankle and became this lazy, lazy couch potato.
14. do you talk to yourself? All. the. time. I might be doing it right now.
15. what movies do you adore? Too many. All my teenage year movies that I love unironically (see: Legally Blonde, Clueless, Mean Girls). Movies with amazing art direction (see: Grand Hotel Budapest, 2013 Ana Karenina, Love, Vincent, etc). Movies that make me feel human (see: too many to count).
16. do you like doing puzzles? I too, would choose crosswords over puzzles any given time.
17. favorite kind of music? No favorite kind of music. Taylor Swift, Bach, Fleetwood Mac and Queen are my favorites, ever. I’ve been loving to listen to Lizzo, Billie Eilish and The Lumineers lately. I was in a huge Ariana Grande mood last year. I have no idea, really. I do love pop, rock and classical pretty consistently, though.
I tag @blackcoffeeicedtea , if she’s even still on tumblr.
