7: "Why Do You Love Me" by John Van Deusen

Will You come and save me even if I'm I'm the one to blame for this?

29: "Plastic Jesus" as performed by Tia Blake

I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I've got my plastic Jesus Sitting on the dashboard of my car Going 90, it ain't scary, 'cause I've got the Virgin Mary Sitting on the dashboard of my car

35: "The Last Thing on My Mind" as performed by Peter, Paul and Mary

Are you going away with no word of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind?

46: "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan

7. your preferred writing fonts

Usually Palatino, because it's Scrivener's default! I'm also a pretty big fan of Crimson Text for typesetting.

12. a trope you're really into right now

This one's a little difficult (so many tropes!), but I will admit, I have been really into band AUs recently! I also love a good Only One Bed fic and Mutual Pining, but that's less of a "now" thing and more of a "general" thing haha

19. the most interesting topic you've researched for a fic

I was about to bring up the time I used my own Real Life Pneumonia as fic research, but actually, the answer to this is probably "mid-2000s Japanese middle school curricula." (Specifically because it led me to Run, Melos!, and I ended up looking up the original text and dusting off my very rusty Japanese to translate it. It was a fun deep dive, and given that the short story itself had some fortuitous parallels to the themes of the fic, it ended up serving as a useful narrative tool, too!)

25. besides writing, what are your other hobbies?

29. how easy is it to come up with titles?

This train whistles and blows all sounds away

Stabat Mater - Woodkid

Trains 🚂

1: Catchiest song

VERY hard to gauge, but I think I'll go with this one.

2: A song you didn't expect to see in your top 10

There were a lot of surprises this year, but this was the biggest one...

10: A song that was also in last year's wrapped

...I honestly think this is the only song in both??

12: A song you feel should be higher up

Was telling my boyfriend's sister that I expected ELO to be my top artist, and while "Boy Blue" made my top 5, I thought it would be like. #2, or maybe even #1. Not #5.

20: Happiest song

Hard call, but I'm going with this one.

17. If My Heart was a House, Owl City

One of my favorite Owl City songs.

28. Sports Song, Weird Al Yankovic

Weird Al was my overall top artist, which frankly i attribute to Spotify liking him more than anything i've done. There's a post in my drafts somewhere about how Spotify doesn't really know how to use "randomize", which feels true even if it isn't actually true.

45. Gone, Gone, Gone by Phillip Phillips

I don't know that i'm surprised this one made it on the list. Pretty sure i hit repeat on it at least once, so it's less of a surprise than some others.

75. Nearer My God to Thee, BYU Vocal Point

No comments. Like this song, obviously.

90. The Other Side of the Radio, Chris Rice

Had no clue i listened to it enough to get on the top 100. But how many listens does it take to get on the top 100 in the first place? Also trying to comprehend a year's worth of Spotify listening is futile.

Things that make me happy 🍂

Crisp autumn air

the feeling before it rains

walking my dog right before the sunrise

wearing a comfy sweater to church
