5. What's your drink of choice? (Coffee/tea order, alcohol of choice, pop, etc)

i think in terms of just. sheer volume of consumption monster is my drink of choice across all fronts but! some other choices are: earl gray with honey and a shot of espresso for hot drink, iced chocolate/mocha for cold drink, cider or ginger beer for alcohol, and my beloved solo lemonade for soda

7. what's your favorite way to travel? Is there a mode of travel you haven't done that you want to experience?

i love air travel 🫶 and tbh i don't even hate the airport that much. but i obviously don't get to do that often so for more mundane stuff i love the train and i think a decent train is like the best way to travel. as for something i want to do... i like the idea of a boat trip (like a long one) but i fear once i was actually on board i'd hate it. so. dunno.

12. dishes or laundry?

DISHES 🙏 i was a dishwasher for years i have that shit on lock. i hate laundry because i go into waiting mode while its in the machine and end up doing nothing for 45 minutes. sucks.

14. Favorite book you read this year?

i feel like i didnt read much this year 😭 fave is probably the murderbot diaries? which is technically multiple. but i do what i want. i've also just started you've got red on you which is really fun

22. Favorite place you visited this year?

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

okay i have quite a lot because i have been cooking this year. but i think all-timers for me are 'Beaten dogs will bite, after all.' and 'The two of you are in a safehouse in the countryside — countryside means thick beech forest, house means a one-room hunter's cabin, and safe means nothing.' both from stare into the sun

18. current number of wips

too many 🙏 i have a bunch of one-shots floating around, just got my bad things bingo card, and then theres the three big wips that are actually in progress (working dogs, just long enough, and the rest of diamonds). the goal for next year is to try and get a oneshot and a chapter of something up each month. we will see how long this lasts.

21. most memorable comment/review

probably these two from @hr-twink on in which river is normal. sorry to put you on blast bestie but i think about 'IM SO EXCTIED (in all senses of the word)((<—WHORE))' like once a week.

Speak Roughly to Your Little Boy,

  And beat him when he sneezes:

He only does it to annoy,

  Because he knows it teases.”

CHORUS

(in which the cook and the baby joined):-

Wow! Wow! Wow!

I speak severely to my boy,

  I beat him when he sneezes;

For he can thoroughly enjoy

  The pepper when he pleases!

CHORUS

Wow! Wow! Wow!
