Questions:

What is your favorite childhood memory? That would have to be mornings at my grandmother's house, my mom's mom. I would wake up early (I've always been something of an early riser.) and my grandmother, a long-time night nurse, would be awake. We'd eat corn flakes and milk with sugar sprinkled on top, to this day my favorite cereal, and drink black coffee. Yes, even as a little kid. We never really talked-- my Ma'amaw has always been somewhat of a stern woman; we'd just enjoy the morning silence. When everyone else would wake up, she'd cook that quintessential southern breakfast, fried eggs, bacon, gravy, biscuits, for the rest of the family. But we had our secret little breakfast to ourselves.   

What was the last thing that made you laugh so hard you couldn’t breathe? Oh my god. Okay, so I work retail part-time as I am trying to finish up my graduate degree and the store I work at has an online survey listed on the receipt. We're supposed to tell the customers about them and let them know if they fill it out, they get entered for a chance to win a shopping spree. Now most people hear this and think, yeah right, I never win anything, so I like to tell them about winners that have actually happened near our store. I live in PA (but am in no way a native) so I tell them about the winner at the store in Harrisburg and the store in King of Prussia. Only here's the thing. I've been wondering why people always give me a funny look when I'm telling them about this and it was just yesterday after working at the store FOR A MONTH that I realize that I have been telling people about the store in "Prince of Persia" PA, instead of King of Prussia. The best laughter is when you can laugh at yourself.

If money were no object, what kind of holiday would you take? I'd take my wife to Paris. She's fluent in French (I'm so not.) and lived there for a year when she was in college. She's been dying to show me her old haunts, and her favorite foods, and basically show off her Parisian prowess to her lady-love. And frankly, I'd love to traipse around Paris on the arm of a pretty girl, trusting our entire adventure to her in blissful, foreign ignorance. 

What is one of your favorite books and why? Excuse me while I go pick a favorite child.... Okay, one of my favorite recent reads is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. It is a novel about the life of Achilles with his companion, Patroclus. The author spins a beautiful love story, fleshing out The Illiad in a way that just floored me. I recommend it to anyone. You won't regret it.

Do you have an unpopular opinion (fandom-related or otherwise)? If so, what is it? I'm a Lokane shipper, which if I cared to listen to anyone else in fandom, is apparently pretty unpopular. But I don't care, so, meh. Also, I realized after rewatching Scandal in Belgravia, that I ship Sherlock with all the ships! Johnlock! Sherlolly! Adlock! He has adorable moments with them all and I love it.

As far as otherwise, I'm of the opinion that my marriage to my wife should be as boring as everyone else's and, outside of Tumblr, that doesn't go over so well.

What is your favorite piece of art? Why?

You're probably looking at that like, "...Why?" I don't know why. Because it's fucking huge in real life and it breaks my heart. It's called "Trinity" by Adolph Gottlieb, and that's probably the thing that unnerves me the most. "Trinity." I dream about this painting.

What charitable cause moves you the most? Operation Smile. 

Morning person or night owl? A strange combination of both. I can (and usually do) stay up until 3 in the morning and I will always be awake and ready to start my day at 5am.

What does a perfect day look like to you? Overcast, with the promise for rain. Or just rain. A heavy, steady downpour. Thunder.

Do you create in any way (writing, art, music, knitting, etc.)? If so, what do you produce? I write (mostly fan fic), though I've gotten a little out of the habit, I am trying my hand at digital painting (eh, we'll see) and I sew, though not clothes. It's super nerdy, but my favorite thing in the world is reupholstering furniture, couches especially. I redid this lovely Victorian settee and chaise set once, but I'll be damned if  can find a picture.

What food can you eat over and over again without getting sick of it? Hamburgers! I'm a recovering vegetarian, no meat for about 9 years, until I got super stoned one night (whattup college) and ate a cheeseburger from McDonald's. I got really sick, but my goodness it was delicious. If my consistently waning metabolism would allow, I'd eat one every day.

35: Talk about things you wish you could stop doing.

This is a long list...

I wish I could stand up straighter. I have dismal posture, and have had it since I was little. I cry wolf with the scoliosis card a lot, but I've actually only ever been diagnosed with the slightest of cases. Now I'm 25 with a noticeable hump that is only going to get worse or be fixed by some medical means. I wish I would stop slouching, but at this point, it hurts too much to "stand up straight." 

On a similar vein, I wish I would hate my body less. Not the weight I've gained since entering my twenties (which I loathe, but I digress), but the things I cannot fix. The size of my rib cage being the most absurd. It's huge, it's a part of my SKELETAL STRUCTURE, I should let it go.

I wish I could stop talking about money, and my problems therein, in polite, and even impolite, company. It's awkward.

"You've always got such a sour look on your face," Luna told him one afternoon as they walked the grounds, gazing at him as they walked. "I suspect it's the Nargles at work."

Draco struggled not to roll his eyes; he'd grown used to hearing her beliefs long ago, but that didn't mean he wanted them bloody aimed at him.

"It's not," He replied stiffly. Luna stretched out an arm and curled her slender fingers around the fabric of his school robes, urging him to look at her.

"You don't have to pretend you're so angry all the time, you know," She said matter-of-factly, a small airy sort of lilt to her tone. "I know you're upset."

"I'm not...upset."

"I disagree," She said, tilting her head to the side. "I think you've been upset for a very long time. Sad, even."

"It's none of your business," He said defensively, yanking his arm away. He'd expected her to grow upset; she didn't.

"Maybe not...but you should really make it a priority to be happy," She said with a sigh, walking alongside him. Her fingers skimmed across his knuckles, and Draco felt a shiver erupt down his spine.

bowieforlife asked you:

Share 10 facts about yourself, then ask 10 of your favorite followers.

1. I'm so lazy *sigh* I just don't want to do anything and have everything handed to me TT.TT

2. I want to travel all over the place. I want to constantly be on vacation. I'M READY TO RETIRE! lmfao.

3. I'm in my 20s, so there will be no retiring as of yet *cries*.

4. I want to visit ALL the Disneys. ALL of them (except for the one in Hong Kong because I hear it sucks).

5. Sometimes I think about getting a sugar daddy so I can be lazy and have everything handed to me.

6. But then sugar daddies are probably not how I fantasize them to be in my head, so it might not be a good idea to actually get one.

7. I fantasize Bowie to be my sugar daddy by the way, so yea, reality most likely will never meet fantasy.

8. By the way, I got two of these messages so I'm answering both on here. I don't think I can come up with 20 facts lol.

9. I wanna get laid.
