intrusive multiples of three?
3) whats your favorite/least favorite quality about yourself; why
Um. Favourite: memory. I have a kick ass memory, for a lot of things. Means I can stage manage largely without notes. Don’t learn from me kids; it’s a bad thing. Least favourite: mental health issues. Shouldn’t need an explanation.
6) how is your life different now from two years ago
Answered already. But also, I can mostly look in mirrors without flinching now. So that’s a thing.
9) whats the worst pickup line someone has asked you
... no one ever has. Though Will’s said some pretty strange stuff to me that could sort of pass, I guess?
12) 3 deal breakers in a relationship
Assuming dating and not friendship type relationship...
1- Sex. Won’t do it, don’t want to hear about it.
2- Hard to put into words, but a... lack of distance? I don’t want a mind-reader, but I have a hard time with people who don’t get that sometimes it hurts to be touched. Sometimes I need to wedge myself into a corner and rock back and forth, and I can’t handle someone who follows without permission.
3- Aversion to cats. Allergies I can deal with, there’s ways around that, but if you hate cats you’re right out.
15) what is your favorite memory
I don’t have one singular, but I need this right now so I’m just gonna dump a few:
Walking hand in hand through Berlin with Mama.
Curled up on the grass under the chestnut tree.
Dancing with Nick.
Sprawled out on the greenroom floor with my techpeople.
The Tango Maureen.
The aftermath of the last three major public panic attacks I had. The first one someone unexpected was there singing to me and linking arms until I felt better; the second happened in front of someone I care about a great deal, and he stuck around and talked to me until it faded; the third was with a woman I’d met not long prior, and as it turns out listening to her talk about diamonds shuts up the mind-demons too.
Hugging Amanda. (This might actually be my favourite.)
Disney World on my birthday.
Breakfast with my People. (Never offer to share your whipped cream.)
That stupid fucking sock convention. (In fact, that whole trip.)
Most of Cannon Beach.
18) do you like your laugh
I try not to think about it...
