5 favorite songs: Oh God this is difficult; I have like 30 favorite songs and they change daily. Here’s what I’m listening to now, at least: Mladek—Russian Circles; Wagon Wheel—Mumford and Sons; Through My Prayers—The Avett Brothers; Gold Dust Woman—Fleetwood Mac; Dancing in the Dark—Bruce Springsteen.
5 favorite blogs: Aaahhh, another difficult one! OK, so five of my faves: America’s Test Kitchen (because who doesn’t love food?!) http://americastestkitchen.tumblr.com/ ; NASA http://n-a-s-a.tumblr.com/ ; My Daguerrotype Boyfriend http://mydaguerreotypeboyfriend.tumblr.com/ ; Thranduilings http://thranduilings.tumblr.com/ ; and (my darling friend) The New Guise http://newguise.tumblr.com/ (totes because of his nature porn).
5 facts about myself: I saw Lord of the Rings when I was 7 and it literally changed my life (thank you PJ and the Professor!). I was going to make a fact about how I’m in love but we can’t be together and how I’m learning to be alone, and then I thought, “That’s fucking stupid; in a year, I’m going to regret not talking about things that really matter and not some stupid-ass man,” so instead I’m going to say I love grammar. I used to want to be a medical illustrator, and part of me still does, even though I’m a Rhetoric major. I adore Garrison Keillor and Ted Kooser, my two favorite writers by far. My family is from Northern Wisconsin and we vacation there every year; it’s the only place on Earth that’s ever been, or really ever will be, I think, home.
5 facts about my appearance: At 5’4”, I am the shortest person in my family (it sucks) but I’ve been told I “look taller” than I am. I have pretty long hair and I dye blue streaks in it. My cheekbones and my eyes (green) are my favorite features. I have tiny hands. I wear a size 4/5 (ish, depending on the brand, can go lower or higher) and sometimes I feel really slender and sometimes I feel really fat and I’ve come to realize size and weight have nothing to do with how attractive you feel.
