8. favourite instrumental track(s)?

I love instrumental music. Here are some that come to mind: Clair de lune, Jupiter, a lot of Mozart stuff, Hover II by Andrew Bird, Out of Egypt ... by Sufjan Stevens, Victor Wooten’s Left Right Center. There are so many great songs.

9. favourite non-musical sound?

I usually answer this one with the sound of wind through tall grass or trees, but I recently really like the sound of hard rain just outside. Typing on a mechanical keyboard (I don’t have one yet). Also I really love the sound of an orchestral tuning, but that is defs a musical sound.

12. favourite scent?

Woah... this is hard. Hmmm, I really love the smell of pumpkin pie cooking, or fresh basil. But as a oddly specific smell, I have a strong connection to the smell of fake flowers in the green styrofoam at craft stores. Whenever I walk down one of those aisle, I am hit will a deluge of memories of the basement of the first house I grow up in. 

18. worst thing you’ve ever tasted?

this is a horrible time in my past when I accidentally tasted a certain drink. that moment was absolutely the worst.

22. any specific textures that bother you?

Yes, a lot actually. Certain fabrics that my nails can get caught on like silk, felt, and loose wool. Some foods, most old plastic dish ware. Anything sticky. There are many more but I can’t really think of them.

26. do you ever feel like you have a sixth sense? in what way(s)?

Sometimes. I have really strong deja vu and I can almost predict what is going to happen in those moments, down to the words that are going to be said. And I think people can sense things that they don’t know that they are sensing. Like how we can sense heat as a infrared color on the light spectrum and stuff like that.
