@introvertia tagged me in this game a few days ago and I am back at the laptop and ready to play :)
Something about me that might surprise my mutuals: oh god, idk. maybe my blocked tag list? I was just talking to someone about how I have The Pitt on my blocked tags bc while I'm happy for y'all, those gifsets are LONGGGGGG and I don't want em on my dash. I've also got Steven Universe blocked, and that Digital Circus thing, and Deltarune, and Sonic... idk maybe I'm a hater. I believe strongly in blocking tags not unfollowing people but that's just me!
Favourite Drink/Soda: I'm a big seltzer person lately. the summer Polar flavours are really hitting. I used to make my own kombucha but I stopped taking care of it and it died :C I also really like that Agua de Kefir stuff though I can only find it at Trader Joe's. when I'm feeling bougie I loooooove the 'severed lime' flavour Liquid Death. I also love sweet tea, but I usually have to make my own because I live in the Northeast.
An activity/hobby that you do: oh so many! and a lot of them fell off while I was super burnt out and depressed. I knit, I'm working on some woodland animal plush for my friend's 1 year old and a pair of socks right now. I like making little.... idk what to call them, paper sculptures kinda? I like sculptural work better than drawing but I also like to draw. I'm a big video game girlie and I've been replaying a lot of the Nancy Drew point-and-click games lately. getting the puzzles quickly makes me feel smart and competent xD I also like crosswords, though I've fallen off my streak lately. I used to play cello pretty seriously but donated my cello years ago and haven't gotten back into it. maybe after my dissertation is done.
A TV Show/Movie that you’re watching right now: The X-Files, but slowly. it's a first time watch for me (I think I'm in the midst of season 4?) and I am LOVING IT. I'm kind of rationing it - only watching a couple episodes at a time. movie-wise, we just watched Sinners last week and holy shit did I love that. 100/10 vampire creature design.
A book you’re reading: I'm reading The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, which is one of the first like, Lesbian Novels. it's good and very moving but also very sad bc it's about being a lesbian in like 1910 (it takes place over a long period of time so I'm being rough with my dates) which was obviously not great or fun. to supplement how not great and fun that book gets, I've also been re-reading Samantha Irby's essay collections, which are also heartbreaking but are more often hilarious. my fave book of hers is We Are Never Meeting in Real Life with Wow, No Thank You being a close second. on my lunch break today I plan to start Meaty, and when I do that I'll have re-read all her books again this year!
Favorite Dessert: mango sticky rice, grocery store marble cake with the good buttercream, mini cupcakes, cotton candy, funnel cake, those Snickers ice cream bars, Cadbury mini eggs, s'mores, coffee ice cream (or a coffee ice cream milkshake), flan, churros... you give me a sweet, I am prooooobably down with it.
