✰ answer the questions given to you by the tagger
✰ write eleven questions of your own
1) What’s one food that everyone seems to like except you
Those autumnal spices: ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. Everything associated with pumpkin-y things. I find autumn a brutal time of year because everywhere you go someone is trying to force something with ginger or nutmeg or cinnamon or all of them upon you, and I simply do not care for that flavor profile.
2) You’ve had a long/bad/ugh day. When you finally get home, what do you do to make yourself feel better
I make myself a cup of tea or a glass of wine, hopefully track down some chocolate, pull a blanket up over me, and then dive into the internet. And then, hopefully, I write.
3) What’s that one weird, silly thing you actually believed for far longer than you should have
I think I want to believe desperately in so many fictional things.
4) What’s your must-have road trip snack
A Dunkin’ iced tea, tbh. I am more likely to want something to drink than something to eat.
6) What are you procrastinating on right now that you should be doing
Actually I AM DONE WITH MY OBLIGATIONS. For one glorious week I am allowed to not do anything and I am very happy. :-)
7) Favorite season and why
I like all seasons except fall. Not just because fall has all those flavors I don’t like but I have a hard time adjusting to the darkness and the gloominess. Once it’s actually winter, it’s not so bad, because I like the way the air gets cold and sharp and I love a good snowstorm. But that gray, rainy darkness makes me sad. I do definitely appreciate aspects of fall, so I don’t *hate* fall; it’s just the one I find myself sadder in than the others, which I blame on how much I need sunlight.
8) Describe your favorite place you’ve ever been (in as much detail as you want)
9) If you had to choose a time period besides the current to live in, when would it be
I don’t think I’d really want to live in any other time period. I think I’d be really bad at it. Being ten years older (I was born in 1980) probably wouldn’t be that terrible, though. It seems like that could have been a sweet spot in history to have hit upon everything. Not that *I* want to be ten years older! But if I had to choose a different time period, I think maybe I would just shift it a little. But even ten years might be too much, because I wouldn’t want to hit technology much older than I did, I already find it challenging enough. So who knows. As challenging as this time period is, others were not better.
10) How do you take your coffee/tea
I only drink tea, and I usually take it with nothing, just straight. Black, I guess you would say. Including my iced tea. But if there is quality honey available, I will put honey in my tea (and lemon, if it’s around).
11) If you had more free time, what hobby/activity would you start doing
I own a harp that has been sitting untouched for so long. :-( It saddens me, I really want to learn, I just can never seem to find the time.
1) What was your first ship?
2) What’s your favorite trope?
3) Recommend a television show to me.
4) What do you keep by your bed?
5) What sound do you use as the alarm on your phone?
7) What’s your ideal meet-cute?
8) What’s your personality type?
9) Do you have a book you re-read often?
11) Would you like to travel to outer space?
