Thank you dear! 💙 Finally finished these now!

Homesick: What is "home"?

That's a tough question! "Can't Find My Way Home" is a song that often pops up in my head when I hear the word "home". I think it can be different places. There's my own apartment of course, but nothing compares to my childhood home that I grew up in. It wasn't the most attractive looking place with it's outdated decor, 70's wall paneling and wallpaper and funky mismatched furniture...but that would be where I really consider home. 🏡

Memory Lane: Best Childhood Memory

I have a number of great childhood memories, so I don't know if I could choose a "best". One would be creating and drawing in the dining room and in my room upstairs, both at my old house. Another would be visiting my nana - the smells of her home, eating her delicious baked macaroni and sitting in her cozy living room that always had a dish filled with Andes mints. Then there's some of our vacations, which include going to Amish County, visiting the lake and the beach. ⛱️

Mother's Kiss: Comfort item.

Well, now it would probably be my recliner, which must surely make me sound about 90 years old. 😂 Also hot chocolate or most kinds of chocolate really! 🍫 When I was younger, I think it was the cat pillow at my nana's home. 🐈

Oh, also these:

Grin: What was the last thing that made you smile - really smile?

I don't normally say this about baby pictures, but yes, someone just sent a group text with their baby smiling and it was the cutest thing 💕

Laughing: Best joke?

I'm not sure if I have any jokes of my own. But here's a favorite dad joke (maybe not quite knee-slappers, but I like 'em): "It's inappropriate to make a dad joke if you’re not a dad. It’s a faux-pa." 🤓

And here's a picture of some dads laughing...

And then there's this one:

Park Benches: Favorite hobby to do w/friends?

Visiting cool sculpture gardens - I like that art & nature combo. Another would be doing karaoke, but none of my friends seem to jump at this opportunity 😅

Jukebox or Juicebox? 🤔:

Well, if someone holds the jukebox for me and there's some good old tunes on there, I'd probably be happy to drink it. Juiceboxes might taste better though. 🥸

Memory Lane #2: One thing you hope to accomplish that you'd be proud of in the future?

I've been wanting to publish a book of my photos and blog posts for years (not my Tumblr blog posts lol - different blog!) ✍️

Dandelion: Two colors you like best together?

Hahaha!! You’re now the second person to mention that line. That’s all I think about when I see ‘trendy’ baby names! That and the baby announcement:

Jenny and Brad Davis are proud to announce the birth of

mother’s kiss: what’s your comfort item?

imma be honest, its really sorta dumb lol

when i was younger, four or five, my parents and i would often do “family nights” in which we’d color in coloring books and id pin up the finished colorings on my wall. i lost mostly all of them, i have only one now, and i cant even remember if it was my mom or dad that colored it, but its a little christmas tree with presents underneath it. the page is yellow and the colors are dull from it being there for so long, the paper is ripped up and bent, but just looking at it makes me feel both sad and happy 

,, i also have a couple pictures of my dad and i from when i was like 2 but i dont count them as comfort bc i just wanna cry when i see em fkljgsdlfkg

memory lane: best childhood memory?

ah i have so many i dunno if i can choose just one !!

how deep into childhood we going? like, pre-teen age or pre-pre-teen age ???

well, i cant remember all too far back, so.. we’ll go with a memory from a few years ago and im not entirely sure on my age, i think i was 13? 13 or 12, i dont know, and its really uneventful lol

Hey PS! I just saw that memory lane is written twice in the post. I meant the “what’s your favorite childhood memory” one :)

Hey @rainbow-waterfalls :)

memory lane: best childhood memory?

I can’t think of anything huge or particularly momentous. Little things like pillow forts in the living room and sleepovers with my cousins :)

rose-coloured goggles: what’s one risk you took that ended up being completely worth it?

Applying for my current job! I applied on a whim, was completely surprised when I was invited to interview, and then completely forgot about it so it was super awkward when they called to offer it to me.  

disney: favourite disney movie?

Aladdin!

mixtape: what’s the name of your favourite playlist? I have a playlist called “Darling, Stand By Me” that I made for my Duke fic that I still haven’t finished, but I love that playlist (it’s kind of a trash fire now because I add random stuff now)

tree climbing: do you call them bandaids or plasters? or something else?

Either plasters or elastoplasts :)

atari: favourite video game?

Sonic 2!
