5 things I like about myself? Uuugh, that’s tough.... I generally suck. (I answered one of these before from you @elylandon so I’ll try and give new answers this time).

Usually, if I have drawn something at least once or twice, I can re-draw it again without the reference photo and have it be relatively close to what i had drawn before. (not that they are amazing drawings to begin with)

After I follow a recipe once or twice while baking/cooking, I usually can modify the recipe in future makings to fit just how I’d want it, or use substitutions when necessary. The rest of my family can’t cook for shit (seriously... even when they follow recipes they usually suck, or don’t follow it correctly and ruin it). So I have that going for me. I think basic cooking should be a skill everyone should attempt to learn and be somewhat comfortable doing. 

I think I have a good sense of fashion/style. I’m not afraid of color or using trends (that I don’t find tacky) to my benefit in a tasteful way. Obviously this past year (2020) I only wore pajama bottoms and t-shirts all day when at home, but I never go to the grocery store or out in public looking like a couch potato (which many people do, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but personally, I don’t like presenting myself to the world without looking at least marginally presentable). I miss using my wardrobe to its fullest. I have so much cute clothes that I can’t wait to wear again.

I have never smoked a tobacco cigarette in my life. Not once. Ever. I also don’t drink alcohol much, only limited amounts when in a social setting. I usually was the DD for the ride home because of this. I think have an amazing liver and lungs for a 37yr old (soon be 38 next week...**le sigh**). My intestinal track is awful due to having Crohn’s disease, so... that stinks.

Name a list of shows that have changed your life?

Omg, seriously, Sailor Moon is on my list too! It was one of my gateway shows  into anime. I would watch it at like 6 am on Fox when I was in high school... though at some point I think they pushed the time back and I had to start recording it and watching it after school. CardCaptor Sakura is a close second. (I also loved Fruits Basket, but I wouldn’t say it changed my life.)

Stargate SG1 and Atlantis weren’t exactly life changing, but they were shows I was able to watch and enjoy with my mom becuase we were both in love with them. The Mandalorian is another show that we watch and call each other to fan girl over together, so it’s been real nice to have that. 

Star Wars Rebels was something that finally got me back into drawing again. I use to draw sooo much in high school and college, but after I got out of school, I just stopped doing any kind of art just for fun. I was an art major... so, drawing became more like work and I just was uninspired for so long.   

Favorite song right now? 

Oh geez, hard to say. I’ve been listening to so much Mando season 2 music, and love Open the Door (though it’s playlist I made of all the quieter songs easy to work to). The recent three songs I added to my regular playlist (that’s not quiet music) are Cooler Than Me by Lucky Luke, Into by The xx, and Deep End (sidepiece remix)... favorite songs are always in flux for me. 

If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing?

I would be traveling too, pretty sure that’s a common dream of most people. I want to do the whole Lord of the Rings tour in New Zealand for sure. And make more trips to Japan. 

I’ve been having my baby Grogu(s) watch the Harry Potter series. They grew quite attached to the house elf Dobby... and we just finished Deathly Hallows Part 1. They are heart broken babies now. The character they most related to died!
