15. What’s that one genre you won’t touch? ugh this is hard bc i read Everything but lately i’ve been avoiding YA. also i’m wary of sci fi and genre writing in general (like not ~literary~ fiction) for formulaic writing and also sometimes it just seems stupid to me lol

18. Biggest turn-off on the first page of a book?that typical YA entrance. idk how to explain it, but i feel like everyone knows what it is. i just...can’t do it anymore.

21. Can you appreciate a book without liking it?oh for sure!  like i didn’t really care for one hundred years of solitude but it has such literary significance and i can recognize why...idk like i appreciate the writing it was just a little Much for me. it’s one of those books i need to reread.

thesassisnecessary replied to your post “i’d love to do some kind out callout or shoutout for people in the pgh...”

maybe do like, a formal post to be kind of like an ad or something? or something so that people can kind of get to know you so it's not a stranger on the internet?

that’s not a bad idea but i wouldn’t know where to post it

lace honeybee typewriter

!!! thank you angie!!!!!

Lace: Your favorite things to wear?hm idk i wanna say sweats bc i like being comfortable but i also like looking cute so that or this dress i got from old navy! it’s the black flowery one

Honeybee: Name something positive you have done for yourself or someone else in the last two weeks.i let two of my friends sleep over in my house last weekend bc they were too drunk to go home; lent one of them my pajamas (the other one literally passed out on the floor the second she came in)

Typewriter: If you had to come up with ten words to describe your life story so far, what would they be?naturally the first word is: fuck. depressed, isolated, social, work, academia, sports, reading, writing, music.

do you love easily?

It takes me a really long time to fall for someone (months, years). I might have a crush easily but I get over those easily also. But actually loving someone? Yeah, no. 

how often would you want to see your family every year?

6-8 times a year would be ideal I think. 

have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?

The last person I was crushing on I felt like that, but that delusion got dashed recently. I am that way with one of my friends from high school. We talk in a second language of random nonsense and tv/movie quotes. It’s probably irritating to everyone else around us hahahaha but I love it. :)
