1. I drive a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek that I bought with my own money and I’m super fucking proud of even though it needs a good wash. It’s officially some shade of gray but it looks baby blue.
2. I have polydipsia which is a fancy word for saying I am medically ultra thirsty and it’s a condition. I glug giant gallons of apple juice and carry gargantuan water bottles around because of this. My boyfriend buys me juice whenever he knows he’s going to see me and I drink it all.
3. When quarantine ends I’m going to dye my hair pink (unless my hairdresser says no).
4. My favorite show is Bojack Horseman. It’s fantastic, hits you where it hurts, and I highly recommend. Last season kinda sucked though. I also really like F is for Family.
5. I have synesthesia, which means that my brain is wired so that all letters and numbers are bright and colorful. When I see a page in a book, for example, that page is filled with color.
6. I used to drink sour milk but my friends and family told me to stop. I love milk.
7. I gave myself surgery once when I was in high school. I had a swollen lymph node and my family refused to take me to the doctor. I flame sterilized some Hello Kitty scissors and then cut it out myself. Minimal scarring, no infection, I did a wonderful job and I did it for free.
8. I have a tendency to smell everything I own. I’ve been doing it since I was a little girl. Like, give me a present and I will sniff it.
9. I finally got to try edibles and they made me hallucinate like crazy. But that’s another thing off the bucket list!
10. I used to be a Girl Scout but there was this one really amazing girl in the group who was a huge brat who derailed all of our projects and I was her peanut gallery. We accomplished nothing.
11. I still remember how to play the trombone.
12. I love essential oils, candles, incense, and anything I can use to make the air smelly.
13. I have three nephews who I love. The oldest I call “Babby” and we are the closest. He likes Godzilla and watches every Godzilla film.
14. I recently gave away everything in my room that didn’t spark joy and now my life feels clean and fresh and new.
15. I played Animal Crossing for a while but I recently stopped because my town just wasn’t progressing as fast as everyone else’s and I was getting frustrated lol. Also I had like no cute items.
16. I take showers every day but honestly? I hate getting in. I don’t know, I hate getting wet.
17. I bought a Korean skin care routine pack for $40 and it just made me break out more so I’m just back to using a simple face wash and moisturizer and then one face mask a week.
18. I have a dog, three rats, a rabbit, and a hermit crab. They’re annoying to take care of but I love them dearly.
19. I loved Pokémon while growing up and I honestly still do. But I only really “get” generations 1-4 and the others are lost on me. It’s just what I grew up with.
20. My term of endearment to my boyfriend is “dinky bird 🦢”
