Thanks, B <3

23: what's your favorite thing to do on lazy days where you have 0 obligations?

Shockingly, waking up early but without an alarm. Lazing in bed until hunger overcomes me, and then going to get Cuban breakfast or biking out to the little diner near my house and gorging myself. :)

42: do you have a favorite coffee shop? describe it!

I suppose? I haven’t been there in years, though! Back when I was in Gainesville going to UF, I went to this coffee shop called Volta. It was my first exposure to like, nice coffee, and they had incredible tea, hot chocolate, and pastries that they made on site. They’d also feature local art. The whole place was very minimalist and clean - lots of whites and reds, and a great place to study or meet up and chat.

58: who's the wine mom and who's the vodka aunt in your group of friends? why?

I’m the wine mom, @worldsonlyconsultingdetective is the vodka aunt, and @kittengrin is cider sister

84: are you planning on getting tattoos? which ones?

NOOOOO I AM DEFINITELY A HARD, COLD-BLOODED KILLER CINNAMON ROLL 

I was tagged by eveningsoother!

Rules: Answer the six questions someone tagged you in, then make up six of your own and tag six people!

1. What is the best thing that ever happened to you?

Getting into Trinity College Dublin and living in Ireland for over a year and then travelling all over the world. :3

2. What is something that really interests you?

Just about everything interests me. Cooking. Bees. Writing. Words. Giant robots. If I had to pick something, I'd say, Psychology still really fascinates me. I have multiple degrees in the subject.

3. Describe your most memorable dream.

I actually am not even going to touch this one because my most memorable dream was a horrible, disgusting nightmare about a little girl who was stuck living with her serial-killer uncle. I wrote about it (here.)

4. What’s your favorite quote?

"Well-behaved women seldom make history." - Laurel Ulritch

5. What’s your favorite episode of anything and why?

Fav. episode of anything is Tales of Ba Sing Se from Avatar: the Last Airbender.

6. What character do you relate to the most?

Probably Ava from Gail Carson Levine's Fairest, because I've always been very tall, and she was very tall as well. The book deals with a lot of her insecurities in relation to her size and appearance, but she's also a strong, well-developed, good person.

All right, my turn to pick questions:

If you could have any screen name, regardless of length or the rules of the sites, what would you pick?

Frozen or Tangled?

Marvel or DC?

You get to marry a fictional character. Who do you pick?

First fictional crush?

Who is your IRL OTP?

Ok so Imma do the thing, cause I like questions, but I won't be sad if no one I tag does it too.  :)  

Rule one: Always post the rules

Rule two: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones

Rule three: Tag 11 people and link them to the post

Rule four: Actually tell them you tagged them

How many siblings do you have and are you close to them? 3, I'm the oldest of 4.  And, kind of? I like them, and we get along mostly, but they live in VA & MO so I don't see them often.  

If you could have any job, what would it be? Surgeon.  Not sure which kind yet, but probably general surgery cause I'm kinda old and I don't really want to do a fellowship after residency so I can specialize.  We'll see how it goes though.  =D  Barring that...independently rich and traveling the world.  x.x 

Have you ever traveled outside the country you live in? If so, where? Yes, but only to Canada.  It was really Canada though, not just flitting over the border.  I went to Edmonton.  

What is your favorite movie? Pacific Rim, probably.  Across the Universe, Avengers, and Serendipity are also up there.  

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? All of them that don't have mint or coffee.  I'm a pretty big fan of chocolate brownie types or the kind that have little reeses cups in them, but I more have favorite ice cream brands (Talenti) than favorite flavors.  

If you could live anywhere, where would you live? Choosing only from places I've actually been - Martha's Vineyard.  My dad's family is from there for tons of generations back, and we used to spend summers there in the giant old house that had been in my family since it was built (till my Grandma sold it. =***(  ).  It is my current favorite place on earth.  From places I haven't been? Italy or Tahiti.  

Do you use Facebook? Yes. :/

How many times have you moved in your lifetime? Uhm...NY/NY, MO, FL/FL/FL/FL, VA, MD/MD/MD, FL...so 12, not counting smaller moves like into the college dorms.  

What is the longest period of time you have lived in any one house/apartment? The shortest? I lived in the second NY house from 2nd grade - graduation.  So approximately 10 years.  Shortest (again, not counting things like dorms) is a year.  After I moved out of my parents house the longest I've lived anywhere is two years.  

Do you like to cook? No, I hate it.  Baking is ok, but I despise cooking.  

What is your favorite thing about yourself? My brain.  It's awesome, most of the time.  =D 

So I guess I add my 11 questions? Here you go:  

1. What was your favorite of all the places you've lived? It can be a specific house/apt/etc. or a state or whatever.  

2. Did you go to college? If you did, what was your experience like, and what was your major (or degree if you finished)? 

3. What's the most difficult thing you've ever done?

4. On a scale of 1-10, how pervy are you in your brain?

5. What's the weirdest and/or creepiest thing you've ever seen?

6. What is something you hope gets invented and makes its way into public use within your lifetime?

7. What's the sickest you've ever been (you can skip this one if you don't wanna share)? 

8. Speaking in broad terms, what is your favorite time period and cultural aesthetic (IE, America in the 50s or Tudor England.)?

9. I liked this one from above: Why did you decide to follow my blog?

10. What's the most scared you've ever been?

11. If you could afford any car and there were no rules concerning street legality, what kind of car would you drive? What color?
