get to know me meme. (me)me.
tagged by my friend @devinwolfi. i haven't done one of these in a long time but i like vinny, and i am a raging egoist and thus i like to talk about myself. so.
the origin of your username: i wanted "theurbanspaceman" but it was taken on gmail. motherfucker. i was keen on a username unique enough to be available on any platform i should like to use it on; thus far, success.
i always order this food: ramen, pho, or wonton soup; there must necessarily be a noodle of some variety within a broth.
current overused emoji: i am not habitually an emoji user however i do enjoy these three: :] :D :⥏
current favorite show: ted lasso, of course; but at the present i am watching spartacus. it's not good but it is pulpy and violent and gladiator-adjacent and therefore speaks to me. i am not really television-oriented and so i do not watch many shows. i am quite keen on movies, however, and an old favourite which has been on my mind lately is the secret life of walter mitty. i have also recently enjoyed la chimera and the secret agent.
current favorite book: stag's leap by sharon olds; frankenstein by mary shelley; whereas by layli long soldier; fight club by chuck palahniuk; and maria dahvana headley's translation of beowulf.
current favorite video game: house flipper, as ever, uncontested.
song on repeat: eat your young by hozier; witch image by ghost; and seven devils by florence + the machine.
last thing you got really into: rooibos tea. the colour green. consistent journaling. gifmaking, over bag26a; i am not particularly good but i do like the process.
oddly specific thing that brings you joy: morning star white sage incense.
phone wallpaper: a sort of generic space image. my lockscreen is a collage of rey skywalker.
what smell makes you happy: lately i've been really keen on an elderflower and lime candle; usually, cinnamon, sweetgrass, and sage incense, leather, grass, books, tobacco.
morning, night, or other type: night, consistently; i have attempted extensively to break myself of it but i cannot alter the way i am wired. neither beautiful sunrise nor peaceful sunrise can coax me to enjoy mornings. i am trying to go to bed a bit earlier, though; i have been ill for some months and my gp has recently requested that i attempt ten-hour nights. a bit daunting as it's practically half the day but i am making an effort.
what's your work/profession: i am an academic! which is to say i am in grad school. i conduct research in the realm of english. i'm also a poet, and would pursue it full-time if i could; alas, poetry rarely if ever pays the bills.
anyway! double-tagging beloved @dear-galileo per her request as well as a few mutuals: @sagittastars, @bigmanroykent, @lemongizumo, @spcecowboyyy, & @backgroundagent3.
