Tagged by @wuschwusch <3 <3 <3
a - age: I was a tween in the mid 90s, you’re welcome to do the math if you are so inclined
c - current time: 1:22 am EDT
d - drink you last had: pineapple grapefruit seltzer
e - easiest person to talk to: the internet lesbian film nerd friends I text and video chat with
f - favorite song: Part of me is all ‘I’ve been studying music for 20 years, how rude?’ But another part of me is like, ‘It might be “Like A Prayer” bc it’s a masterpiece’. The choir, Prince, the use of a relative major and minor key, the way it pretends to secretly be about sex when it’s actually secretly about Madonna’s faith and relationship to God/Catholicism/grief/trauma...idk. I hadn’t heard it in awhile but it seems to be following me around this year, and I always cry when I hear the bridge. If it’s not that it’s “Light Rail Coyote” by Sleater-Kinney, and if not that then “Good Luck in Jail” by Drive Like Jehu
g - grossest memory: ...a few years ago I was rehearsing Bikini Kill covers for a one-time benefit cover show thing and I sneezed really badly all over the microphone while we were practicing “In Accordance to Natural Law”. Like, really badly. Like you would not believe how much (apparently infected) snot got all over the place, but mostly on the microphone. We disinfected as best we could but one of my bandmates is a school teacher and we only had one microphone and we all got sick/kept getting sick/stayed sick for the two dead of winter months we worked on it. But somehow were all okay for the show? Punk rock, yalce!
h - horror yes or horror no: No. I’m too soft for it, honestly.
j - jealous of people?: Sometimes I’m profoundly jealous of people who aren’t orphans. Who have partners and roommates and bandmates and friends, whose parents are alive, and who seem like they have nice, normal, functional, emotionally full lives.
l - love at first sight or should I walk by again?: I’m gonna say no? I feel like ‘love at first sight’ is usually not so much ‘love’ as it is...trauma bonding.
m - middle name: Nope. My mom told me she didn’t see the point in middle names? My family is Catholic, we have confirmation names instead.
n - number of siblings: 0
o - one wish: To be free, in the Nina Simone sense. To be free of fear, to not have any reason to be afraid when I go outside by myself. Either that or to not be an orphan anymore/have some kind of family again at some point.
p - person you called last: my abuela, to let her know what time I’d go to her house for dinner
q - question you are always asked: ‘Hey, so how’s grad school going? Are you a doctor yet?! lol’
r - reason to smile: Recently had a birthday and actually enjoyed it; I’m no longer surrounded by people who make me feel like I’m hard to love; I finally have gay women friends and feel like a decentish future is maybe possible
s - song you last sang: "Edge of Seventeen” came on the radio when I was in my car before and I went to town with it
t - time you woke up: Sometime between 1:30 and 2pm
u - underwear colour: black
v - vacation destination: I don’t really like traveling for various reasons, but I’d like to visit Havana, and I always want to go to Puerto Rico and visit relatives that I never got to know. I also always want to go back to Yosemite, because it might be the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.
w - worst habit: Can I say, ‘having an anxiety disorder’? If not, perfectionism, and putting off doing things if I don’t think I’ll do them ‘perfectly’, thinking my life is over and that I’ll be unloveable if I’m not ‘perfect’, etc
x - x-rays: Only for dental work, I think?
f - favorite food: arroz y habichuelas, tamales/most Mexican food, omelettes/breakfast food
Most of the people I would’ve tagged have already been tagged! But still hi tagging @lezmedici and @channelcherry and also anyone else who could use the distraction of filling this out
