Name: Not available. I keep some distance on social media because it’s just too damn easy for employers and creepies to stalk you online. Though my handle here is really awkward to say, so I need a nickname or something. She/her pronouns.

Zodiac sign: Sagittarius and it’s almost always wrong. 

Height: 5′7″, wow much average

Languages spoken: English, though I’m intensively studying French (at B1 currently and hoping to get to basic spoken fluency by the end of 2018) and Japanese (probably A2 and would like to take the N5 by next year), have just started Mandarin (below A1), and have studied Spanish for like, 8 years or so. Visually, I can tell the difference between like 30 languages (thanks high school choir!) and have dabbled with Korean, Turkish, and Russian.

Nationality: United States, expatriate living in Canada and will be applying for dual citizenship soonish.

Favorite fruit: Highly seasonal question. Fall: apples (ambrosia), Winter: oranges and clementines, Spring: I’m probably eating all the early asparagus, Summer: Strawberries and blackberries (preferably in cream)

Favorite scent: wisteria, sage, and mulling spices are some favs.

Favorite color: Don’t currently have one, but I’m pretty in love with my pink hair.

Favorite animal: Softspot for octopodes and cats. Preferably not combined.

Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate: Coffee. Get yourself a tiny grinder and treat yourself to freshly ground coffee in the morning. Enjoy your bliss.

Favorite fictional character: Too many to list, but I have a sideblog for Vegeta and Bulma from DBZ. 

Dream trip: Cultural tour of Japan with several onsen visits.

When blog was created: No idea. like 5 years ago?

Last movie watched: Can’t remember (I hate theaters because people are just too damn rude), but I enjoyed The Expanse (other than Holden.. friggin useless character).

Songs you’ve had on repeat: See below.. because tumblr won’t let me put it right here? Anyway, I want "Good Run” played at my funeral. “Stallion” is just a great piece if you need motivation. “Take it like a man” is just awesome and dancey and always makes me smile.

Favorite candy: Australian soft strawberry licorice, chocolate covered marshmallows

Favorite holiday: Not gonna lie. I love my summer vacations and treat them like a holiday.

What’s something you like about yourself?: I think I can be witty at times.

A topic you’re interested in: Cognitive development in adolescents. The brain gets pretty weird around puberty and it makes for a complicated time in everyone’s life. I’d like to know more so that I can be a more effective and compassionate teacher.

Something you’re proud of: I’m one of those Jack of all Trades type people. I know how to do like a zillion things “pretty well”.. enough that it looks like I know what I’m doing or can take a pretty solid guess and figure things out and people are like ooh wow. The only problem is that I don’t linger on any hobby long enough to truly master it. Trying to break out of that mold with my language studies.

How is Roxy doing now (end of February?) Is she available for a new photoshoot? :)

She’s doing fine but this whole thing has been a debacle.  They wanted to treat it as an open wound and avoid surgery.  We go to vet Friday and they say she can keep the bandage off.  Then as we are in the exam room she starts bleeding again.  The vet says change of plans, puts bandage back on for 5 more days and says “I hope we can avoid surgery.”  I have had to pay $66 each time i’ve gone back when they should have done the surgery in the first place, if they think I am paying for the surgery after already paying $535 there on top of $450 at urgent care they are mistaken.  I really want to take her somewhere else but I can’t risk adding too much more to what I’ve already paid.  Plus they put her back on antibiotics which upset her stomach so my poor pup still can’t play outside and is now all nauseous all the time. If they do tell me she needs the stitch AND they expect me to pay for it, I am taking here to another vet and plan on possibly suing them for not doing the stitch in the first place like the urgent care place recommended.  Sorry for the rant I am just really pissed off about this whole thing, you do not mess with my pup.  I will try and get some cute pics of her later tonight to post for ya 

Tril, do you have a jazzy playlist on spotify you'd be willing to share?

Most of the time when I'm listening to jazz, it's on the radio. The Portland jazz station, KMHD, is really fantastic, and I have it on 90% of the time when I'm driving, and fairly often at home too. They also play a mix of hip hop, r&b, soul, blues, and all the things that exist in the orbit of jazz and its history.

I did find this spotify playlist from the station's program director, of all their favorite new jazz singles for 2021. It's pretty cool!

I’ll bite.Why? This would completely alter the...

Haven’t read the book. Just thought it would be interesting to have a film centered on a blind woman who navigates the apocalypse with sighted survivors in a world where the ability to see (or see to the extent that a sighted person is expected to be able to see. Many people who are blind do have some vision) is a barrier to survival. So a kind of reversal of the dynamic in Saramago’s Blindness, which I was also reminded off by Malorie’s refusal to assign the children names since Saramago’s characters are referred to by epithets like “the doctor’s wife,” “the girl with the dark glasses,” “the boy with the squint,” etc.

Can I ask how long it took for the piercings to heal completely? Is there residual soreness?

@abcoconut:

I got my nipples pierced 2 days ago. But right now there is zero residual soreness.

There was some residual soreness for 2-3 hours after I got them done, but since then there has been no pain unless I bump them.

ok but frats do this too, just with more violence
