1. Do you make your bed? Sometimes I do not. Sometimes I get a rush of inspiration and I do.
2. What’s your favorite number? 27 for the sheer comfort it’s supplied me since I was 17. 9 because it’s been my favourite number since I was a kid.
3. What’s your job? I am a Senior Staff Lead and Social Media Coordinator for a local Agricultural-Tourism Farm. I also work part time as a Sorter in the Ontario Distribution Center for a multi-billion dollar, multi-national warehouse chain - in their refrigerated section. When not at either of those places, I am driving deliveries for an Edible Arrangements location, teaching ballet, or being coerced into taking photos for money. I’m applying for college programs to get my Television Broadcasting degree.
4. Can you parallel park? I absolutely can. For some odd reason, I am exceptionally good at it when driving rental vehicles and less so when driving my own.
5. A job you’ve had which would surprise people? I delivered newspapers for more than 18 years, and also had a stint for several years as a professional clown. I can still balloon sculpt.
6. Do you think aliens are real? Big universe, we’re probably aliens to something else out there.
7. Can you drive a manual car? I wish. Manual cars are very uncommon here and I haven’t had access to one to learn.
8. What’s your guilty pleasure? So, the dictionary definition of a guilty pleasure is literally: a movie, television program, or piece of music that one enjoys despite feeling that it is not held in high regard. APPARENTLY. In that case, there’s a lot of Kylie Minogue in my playlist and her sweet angel pop beats are what get me through long days in the warehouse.
9. Tattoos? I have two, acquired at ages 18 and 27. No immediate plans for any more.
10. Favorite color? Purple, orange, pink, blue. The sunset or sunrise, basically.
11. Things people do that drive you crazy? Share propaganda news articles and posts on Facebook, and believe them without ever reading or researching any of the content. Choosing not to outright apologize, even when they’re admitting to having done something wrong (just say the words “I’m sorry”).
12. Any phobias? I have emetophobia, which entails extreme fear surrounding the concept and act of vomiting, as well as seeing it. I struggled a lot with it for much of my life, but I was honest with people about it and got the support I needed to cope with it in my everyday life.
13. Favorite childhood sport? I never excelled in anything athletic as a child, but my brother played baseball and so I went to a lot of games. I remember being good at European Handball the one gym class we got to play it, before the school decided it was unsafe.
14. Do you talk to yourself? Not aloud, usually. I get pretty animated in the car when I’m alone, though.
15. What movies do you adore? The animated Anastasia. Nottinghill. Nightmare Before Christmas. I’ve watched Café de Flore a few times. I don’t like watching movies alone, so I’ve not seen many in the last few years other than horror flicks. I like the films from the Ed & Lorraine Warren collection.
16. Do you like puzzles? I did them constantly as a kid, but haven’t touched one in years.
17. Favorite kind of music? Feel-good pop, indie, alternative, French pop.
18. Tea or coffee? A decaf orange pekoe tea with two to three sugars and lactose free milk is how I begin most mornings.
19. What’s the first thing you remember you wanted to be when you grew up? An archaeologist. My brother’s a giant nerd; we watched a lot of documentaries.
