Also sidenote you almost definitely could use pine needles in your ratatouille. It's been forever since I've had them so I can't make flavor recommendations but people absolutely use pine needles for teas and tinctures in the same fashion they do rosemary (idk about taste tho), so it's definitely an idea. There's probably some recipes online

I’ve tasted some tincture with pine needles/sap and I know about the tea, but only that post & this encouragement of yours is the first time I’ve realised there’s nothing and nobody preventing me from throwing it into actual food in a spice-like manner! Amazing. Eye-opening. Feeling unstoppable. So like thank you for the idea, I’m going to google recipes & forage a bunch of needles the next time I go walking around; unlike rosemary, there’s pines all around & plenty needles to spare. Will let you know if they go well with the ratatouille, hah!

Is rosemary expensive these days? If you weren't in Finland I'd probably suggest finding a semi-local bush of the stuff and taking a cutting to grow your own bush from, but I'm not 100% your climate zone would be right for that.

Oh so I’m pretty sure it’s not actually that expensive, just that a) I tend to be cheap af whille getting groceries and b) fresh rosemary is still 3 times as pricey as like similar amount of fresh basil, the dried stuff a little less so but still?

But hahah yeah, you’re right about that - I’d shove rosemary into anything if it grew casually around, but nope not here. I’ve been trying to grow some on my sorry windowsill from a store-bought cutting - it’s not that prosperous but works at times:”D

☄ + 💤 + 🚶‍♂️?

☄ Song for when I feel lighter than the air - So many kinds of lightness... Lazy Sunny Days by The Parlotones for the relaxed, easefull and total lightness; Lovin’ You by Minnie Riperton for the first spring afternoon without a heavy coat, Actor Out Of Work by St. Vincent for the “feeling way too light, everything is up in the air, is this real or happening, I keep trying to grasp anything but keep floating away”-lightness; Cut To The Feeling by Carly Rae Jepsten for giving the euphoric wild wanna float into space or at least meters abowe the floor because I’m bubbling helium”-lightness; Not In Love by Crystal Castles & Robert Smith for the lightness that hits you in the middle of a dark dancefloor and everything feels unreal in a way that’s neither good or bad but it’s a current in the air taking you in all the possible directions; Take on Me (symphonic version) by a-ha for the kind of lightness that makes you dance a mockup ballet in your bedroom 2am, Atmosphere by Joy Division for the rain that seems to hang in the air lighter than it should and you’re about to ascend with it, every step a bit more translucent and feathery; A Burning Hill by Mitski for the empty lightness, there’s nothing in me and reality holds no weight, I am just a shell and about to burn into aether

💤 Song I fall asleep to - I really am not good at using music to do that, but like I can imagine falling asleep to like The Sixth Station from Spirited Away-soundtrack, The Dreamer Slept But Did Not Dream by Darshan Ambient, or Done With Those Days by DeVotchKa?

🚶‍♂️ Song for when I feel alone: Do I wanna feel even more alone? Unfortunately sometimes yes, so i.e. Liability by Lorde & Matkustaja by Egotrippi & Wanna deel less alone? A Better Son/Daughter by Rilo Kiley and Smile by Mikky Ekko. Weird mix of both? Stuff like For Forever from DEH, The Sound of Silence by The Simon & Garfunkel, Rocketman by Elton John/Taron Egerton and Lopulta olemme kuitenkin yksin by Scandinavian Music Group

Afksjds sorry, I got really carried away with these: “D Thank you for the ask & säkin oot tärkeä<3

🔥

So I could answer with so many legitimately good songs, but shutout to 4ever by The Veronicas for without a single fail pumping me up, making me want to run track supersonic fast, dance till a heart attack, do over my entire life, plan a heist, speed through a neverending highway, crash something just to get up trembling holding a peace sign and immediately pass out, actually learn soccer, backflip over rooftops and talk to various crushes since like 2010 to this very day.

10 & 24 for the totally normal ask game!

Thank you!:DD

10. If you had to go on a long, grueling journey, would you want to go alone or not?

Hmm. I probably would end up going alone, because if it was up to me I wouldn’t want to anyone else have to go thru the possible dangers or just general weariness of the journey if they didn’t have to. And a big part of me would know I wouldn’t handle a long, grueling path that well, and wouldn’t want anyone there having to bear or witness me at likely my worst. Going alone would offer an opportunity to maybe space out and make it pass faster, I would only have to decide and fend for myself, and could focus only getting through the journey without worrying about getting along or making someone else as happy and safe as I’d like to, and so on. But all that being said, I obviously wouldn’t want to go alone. I’d curse myself and my decision if I did, I’d get hopelessly lonely and would probably be less likely to actually get to the easing end of that journey. 

24. Do you like going to haunted houses, either commercial or abandoned?

For the commerical ones - unless they are like super cheesy ones OR more like dark and spooky walk-through theater and less about jumpscaring you, I don’t / wouldn’t::D I’m pretty sure I’d be the kind of customer who would accidentally scream and panic-punch the actors if I got too jumpy, and that would be good for no one, lol. 

For abandoned houses - given a chance, hell yeah I’d like to explore them! I get easily wary of houses that seem to have too much story left up to imagination in them a- the “can’t look at them for too long but don’t want to look away either”-kind - and have lived uncomfortably near many, but they also interest me intensely.
