Last thing I googled: Animal shelters near me, I want to donate some extra litter and blankets to them.

Song in my head: Nothing at the moment. Most often it's Just Dropped In by Kenny Rogers....why, you ask? The Big Lebowski

Followers and following: I don't actually know. I don't really care. I had a lot before the Purge and in a fit of disgust deleted my blogs. I came back mostly because I keep getting sick and wanted a place for my readers to find me if I went too long without posting anything on AO3

Amount of sleep: Not nearly enough

Lucky number: The numbers 2, 5, 7, 8, and 0 always follow me around. I see them more as guiding numbers than lucky numbers.

Dream job: hmmmmmm. I guess just getting paid to write would be awesome

Wearing: Black T-shirt from The Surly Wench, my favorite local pub. And flamingo lounge pants that are two sizes too big.

Fave songs: oh man... Pretty much anything Mark Lanegan. I'll just throw some links your way.

Carnival, Mark Lanegan

Hit the City, Mark Lanegan and PJ Harvey

Methamphetamine Blues, Mark Lanegan

Josephine, Mark Lanegan

Bananas, That 1 Guy (Hilarious and lovely, listen to it!)

Mustaches, That 1 Guy (Same as Bananas...really all of his songs are like this)

If want to see more of the insane jumble of music that I enjoy, HERE is a link to my personal playlist on youtube. Enjoy!

Instruments? Started playing the violin when I was 9 years old moved on to the viola at 12 (stopped playing 16 because my teacher was a sexist idiot) with the help of my friends I taught myself how to play the flute at 13 (our band teacher didn't know how to play the flute, so the whole flute section was just winging it... again, he was an idiot)… taught the band teacher how to play the fife when the school got a bunch donated when I was about 15. (It was the first time I'd ever seen a fife and I learned it on my own in an afternoon, but it was beyond the capacity of a man in his 50s who had taught band for 20 years to figure out)

Random fact: You mean besides having a deep dislike towards my old band teacher ?(≧▽≦)

I'm legally blind. I just feel like it's going to be something most people on the internet don't know about me. And the blind community is so often shoved under the bus I always want to make sure it's seen in some way shape or form. I was born with cataracts, and ocular albinism (and possibly retinas pigmentosa That one is hard to pinpoint but it runs in my family so I keep an eye on it) I went to the Arkansas school for the blind, lived on campus from age 9 to 16 until we moved closer to the school, which was one reason Harry Potter really caught my attention growing up. I've had two major eye surgeries, and one laser surgery (I’ll most likely need more as I get older and the cataracts keep growing back), and I really, probably, need to start using a cane....

Favorite Authors:  Robin Hobb is hands down my favorite. Please read Realm of the Elderlings and come yell at me about them!!

I also love. Philip K Dick, Chuck Palanuik, C S Friedman, Robert Jordan, Douglas Adams, and Maggie Stiefvater. I'm sure I'm missing a few. I'm gonna go ahead and put Hunter S Thompson in cuz I need to finish Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but the little I've read so far is amazing.

Fave animal sounds: For some reason my cousin and I were curious about what peacocks sound like one night and looked it up and now the thought of peacocks warbling always makes me so happy cuz of how funny we found it when bored and hyper that one night.

Aesthetic: Oh man...Dark Academia, is one. Though I usually dress more grunge for someone who is slightly too young to have lived through the grunge era. Also I love bright colors. Rainbows, mishmash, eclectic everything. I'm all over the place, really. My goal is to start adding some 1940s vintage looks into my wardrobe.
