Touch-Me-Not: How do you feel about your current job? Contrary to my vague posting, I don’t hate it but I am over it. There’s no room to grow as a graphic designer here and after 3 years of the same bs I’m ready move on.

Transvaal Daisy: What’s your favorite item of clothing? two thrifted sweatshirts (surprise). one has a vintage mickey mouse graphic, and the other looks like an old school hoodie with a bear on it (like the one on the california flag) and it says “el camino camp”. I’ve never been to el camino school or to a camp but it looks neat and it’s comfy so all in all I say it was a good investment.

Tropical White Morning Glory: Describe your aesthetic.  menswear and dressing like my mom during the late 70s

hell yeaaaaa honeysuckle!!! and ahaha i’m the same @ clothes (i saw a patterned at old navy with jellyfish on it that reminded me of you so i’m delighted i was somewhat on brand)

raspberry: favorite flower?

I like most flowers, especially the ones that have strong scents. The smell of honeysuckle is one of my favorite things in the world. Lilacs also have a great scent.

blackberry: is your life an action film, a comedy, a romantic comedy, or drama?

It’s a sitcom

plum: favorite clothing brands?

papaya: what song describes your aesthetic? I answered this here, but because I feel like there are others that could also describe my aesthetic… “Midnight Snack” by HOMESHAKE

nectarine: would you consider yourself an emotional person? I feel a lot and often very strongly, but I’ve also spent too much time reigning those emotions in that I don’t think I physically express it well anymore. But in words and through art? Yes, I’m very emotional.

plum: favorite clothing brands? That I wear: j.crew, everlane, and levi’s. Out of my budget: vince. and a.p.c.

blackberry: is your life an action film, a comedy, a romantic comedy, or drama? A comedy with a slight emphasis on romance.

passion fruit: how would you describe your style? thrift-store clothes that don’t look like thrift-store clothes, I guess

15. do you think musicals are cheesy?

I mean, it depends on the musical. I used to like them more than I do now. I was kind of a theater-kid in high school. These days I’d go see a musical if someone really wanted to go with me, but I wouldn’t really seek them out myself.

30. describe your best friend

My best friend is definitely my sister Rose. She’s a really good artist. (Check out her art blog. I mean, you know her, but other people reading my answers should go check out her art blog). She has really good taste and all of the good anime/comics I’ve watched/read have been because of her making me watch/read them. She’s also hilarious. 

45. i’ll only date you if _____. (fill in the blank)

I’ll only date you if you can pass through The Seven Trials of My Overwhelming Fear of Intimacy 

60. ever embarrass yourself in front of a crush?

Oh, sure. I’ve only had a handful of crushes in my life but I’m pretty embarrassing on a regular basis.

75. write a short love poem to your crush/self?

Speaking of embarrassing yourself in front of a crush... I may or may not have written poetry for a girl before... But that’s way too personal to actually share, so here’s a bad sonnet I wrote about a tinder date once:

Rain fell from clouds onto my bare-skinned headNo hat, no hood, just droplets in my eyesThe cold and warmth of spring into me bledMy gaze turned down, and never to the skies.

I trudged along, no cover to disguise,the drops were stopped by nothing but my shape.Surrounding me, the weather knew my size,and torrent, intimate, flowed 'cross my nape.

At lunch with you, the rain I did escape.Then words, not water, poured around my heart.I sent my own, and with them tried to scrapesome notion of what here could maybe start.

But though the water covered me without,it knew not me, and I was left in doubt.

I guess this is also a poem I wrote about a girl, but we only went on two dates and I didn’t have feelings for her so it only kind of counts. This is mostly a poem about the futility of trying to decide if you like someone or not on a first date. 

90. how confident are you in your sexuality?

I’m extremely confident in my sexuality in the sense that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a lesbian.

59-What’s your favorite kind of aesthetic?

Sleek and tailored outfits, 1960s chic, and mid-century furniture.

66-Ever made a playlist for someone?

I have! I think it was just last year I took made a few for people that sent me a message in response to some meme I posted about randomly generated playlists :) It was fun

80-Do you like plane flights? Airports?

I haven't been on a plane or at an airport in YEARS, but I remember enjoying it? I treated it like a long bus ride and read a book until we landed or I fell asleep.

90-What’s your favorite personality trait you have?

Bless you, friend!

4-What kind of self care is your favorite to do?

Lately, sitting at home with hot coffee and playing a game that doesn't require much concentration from me. Usually that's SW Battlefront 2.

16-Do you do art? Using what (pencil, watercolor, etc)?

Why, yes! I think I do! These days I mostly do digital drawing, but I often sketch with pen on paper. (Office supplies. Office job. It's easy to sketch there on scrap paper.)

29-Do you believe in magic in general?

I don't to be honest, and I'm not sure I ever really did even as a kid. But I love the idea of it and I love stories and movies about it.

35-What makes you happy?

Mythical Creature Asks

griffin: how many books have you read this year? According to my Goodreads challenge log, I’ve read 8 books this year, only 3 of which were not rereads. :( This makes me a little sad because I always challenge myself to read, and I usually only log new books but… this year has been something else. My heart hasn’t been in it I suppose.

kelpie: festivals or concerts?

Festivals, please! I don’t like masses of people or stinky public restrooms, but they’re so fun and I love being to walk around and people watch.

manticore: picnics or hikes?
