Sorry I didn’t answer this immediately. My life has been busy and hectic and I mostly don’t feel like doing anything at all. But these are fun questions so let's have at them!!!

1. Do you prefer writing with black or blue pen?

Black. Most definitely black!

7. If you could be a mythical creature, which would you choose?

Dragon. I would absolutely be a dragon. Chilling like a hermit in my cave with my collection(hoard) of things that are awesome but likely have no monetary value.

33. What is your favorite scent?

This is a tough one. I have scents I like but I don’t know that I have one definitive favorite. I tend to be more excited about visual and auditory stimuli than I am about scents. Still I like the smell of lilacs, cinnamon, grilled food, and baking cookies.

1. I'm good at carrying things. I can carry lot's of grocery bags in at once, good at helping friends/family move things, etc.

2. I draw some pretty cool things.

3. If you give me a piece of paper, I can make a paper crane out of it (Even if it's as small as a gum wrapper!).

4. I have creepery double-jointed villain hands (Which are wicked cool!).

5. I am deeply empathetic and when other people are in pain I feel it.

This was hard. Really hard. Things are hard and worrying about sending this to particular followers is too much right now. But if you follow me, even if you don't post it on your blog I think that you should list five things that you like about yourself. It may be hard, but it's important. YOU are important!
