2. What message/advice would you give to your past self?

(answered this one for @risingphoenix761 as well) Break up with the drug dealer, you’re not fat, don’t go out with Marcus, you’re not ‘too much’, put your keys down, everything’s going to be ok, call her back, you don’t need that last glass of wine.

2. What message/advice would you give to your past self?

Break up with the drug dealer, you’re not fat, don’t go out with Marcus, you’re not ‘too much’, put your keys down, everything’s going to be ok, call her back, you don’t need that last glass of wine.

3. What is your happy place and why?

(answered this for @slytherkins as well - great minds!) My parents’ house. It’s like a sanctuary, time stops, there’s enough room for eight adults to relax yet it’s cozy. There are a million books to read, a million records to play on my dad’s bitchin stereo, coffee + donuts until it’s time for wine + dinner, foooooood for days. It’s a gorgeous, two corner, fenced-in lot with a 2500 sq. ft. Victorian. And of course, my parents - they’re amazing people who I still learn from and they still learn from us - including my sister’s daughters.

8. What is the movie/book/tv show that made you think a lot or made you change something about yourself?

(also asked by Slytherkins!) Princess Leia (so Star Wars) was the first character I recall having an impact of the way I thought and felt. I’ve read the Hunger Games trilogy at least three times, so I’d say Katniss also has had an impact on me. Buffy and Faith, Buffy and Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) -- their relationships resonate with me to this day. And, finally, Supernatural -- now and for years to come with make me think.

15. What is the strangest thing you’ve done or seen?

I’ve seen a lot of strange things, I guess, but the first thing that popped into my mind was seeing the aftermath of a person who’d been hit and killed by a car. I won’t go into detail for not triggering anyone, but I can still see it vividly in my mind and it happened more than 25 years ago.

thanks @risingphoenix761 xox

18. Do you have a person in your life that makes you feel special or a person that you feel like you’re soulmates with?

I think this has changed through the years, and I’ve been smart enough to only keep the ones who care about me as I do them. (I will also say that I’m thankful, but I want to drive the point of intention and choice here.)

I don’t necessarily believe in soul mates, but my longest lasting friends here, only ONE of whom I’ve met in person, are some of the closest people to something like that. In no particular order, @glassjacket @boondoctorwho @cracksinthewalls @icemankazansky @stusbunker @fangirlxwritesx67 @maddiepants @justcallmeasmodeus are more than casual friends.

My family, my husband, and my friends here in the mountains, co-workers, my best friend/adoptive sister on the front range -- all so special to me.

Thank you for asking @slytherkins xoxoxxx

13 and 20 for the less basic questions thing 😊 (fookinghelljensensthighs)

13. What is your idea of a perfect day?

Sleep in, morning sex, Americano, hike with my dogs, yoga, writing, reading, make dinner, watch a movie/TV show, red wine, early to bed. *dreamy sigh*

20. What are you currently waiting for?

My mind to stop spinning. Work has been incredibly stressful. When I tried to take a mental health day earlier this week, I worked more than anything and it was all starts-and-stops, so even rougher than a typical work day. This morning, I texted my board president + my co-worker and said I needed some space. My husband gave me a back rub and made me breakfast, I had an americano and a couple edibles and just read. I’m still feeling crappy, but a little less jagged.
