Last book: I finished Tough Guy by Rachel Reid and it's my favorite so far and I think that's because it has the least amount of hockey in it. Now I'm in the middle of . . . Common Goal and not loving it as much. Also reading The Sicilian Inheritance because it came off hold at the library and also I need to make my brain do something other than HR universe.

Last song: I've been listening nonstop to my Hollanov playlist, the last song was Hudson by the Favors.

Last movie: Death on the Nile 2022 which I did NOT care for.

Last series: I haven't escaped the cottage. But I also did watch the first half of Bridgerton season 4.

Salty or sweet: Both is good 🤝 <- same

Coffee or tea: Coffeeeeeee but I am trying to work through a backlog of tea as well.

Working on: I started a new fic last week and maaaannnnnn the writing muscles are out of shape. I'm not telling you a single thing about it. (Unless someone asks.) (Or unless I've already told you about it.)

THANK YOU YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN. I can’t believe how lucky we are to have had so many birthdays together! I can’t believe how lucky I am to see you twice this year!! I just love you so much 🩷🩷🩷

I did!! It was 2019, I think? Or somewhere around there. PEI had been on my bucket list since I was a child and read Anne of Green Gables and watched the movies with Megan Follows, and I finally made it happen. We camped, stayed in Dalvay by the Sea where they filmed one of the poetry reading scenes, toured the Anne of Green Gables house, saw the play, all the things. It was so delightful!!!

Thank you so much for tagging me!!!

Friday night Warframe with @swaps55 @screwyouflightlieutenant and @n7zachammer. I just love having a standing appointment to have a good time shooting aliens with some of my favorite people.

My Tuesday night in person RPG group. We've been playing Lord of the Rings recently but have also done a multi year campaign set in the Expanse universe. They're ridiculous and I love them.

I went on a hike this morning and the weather in Austin has been perfect lately, we stole swaps' pleasant SoCal weather, it was only 75 degrees!!

I recently read What Monstrous Gods by Rosamund Hodges and really enjoyed it, love finishing a good book that ties up all the loose ends.

I recently helped a friend (and old coworker) of mine get hired at my workplace and I'm really excited for them to start next Monday. It's gonna be a much better work situation for them and I get a stellar new coworker that I already know and love.

I like my hair, it's very curly and bouncy and brings me joy when it's not bringing me frizz.

I like my writing, I reread my fics a lot because I write things I want to read and sometimes I'm very impressed by a turn of phrase or the way I conveyed an emotion.

My sense of humor. It's dry, it's sometimes biting, but man I love to make people laugh.

I like that I'm an extroverted introvert and I like that I've figured that out about myself instead of letting everyone tell me that I'm obviously an extrovert bc I'm so friendly.

Gonna go ahead and put this behind a spoiler tag just in case
