thank you @sleebyshiba for tagging me for the "9 people you'd like to get to know better" tag game :D

Last song: Bahlam Maak by Nagat Al-Saghira, her voice is absolutely stunning and dreamy and this song in particular reminds me of some julio iglesias songs my dad put on when i was younger

Favourite colour: in this season i will say blues of all shades ... but all colors are dear to me in some way like how can there be a singular favorite???

Last movie/TV show: Anatomy of a Fall; i'm a sucker for films that explore tensions within a family and Sandra Hüller's acting impressed me a lot and now i wanna watch her other films :O

Sweet/spicy/savory: savory foods that are sweet, but also i'm the type of person who doesn't like desserts that are too sweet yaknow?

Relationship status: single......

Last thing I searched: scholarships for grad school ;_; pray for me...

Current obsession: resident evil... ive been playing through the main games with a friend and its been so fun to see this series reinvent itself time and time again. i hate capcom but i love claire redfield ... what can i say i contain multitudes...

Last book: The Hired Girl by Laura Amy Schlitz; set in 1911, it's about a young girl who runs away from her abusive family and ends up working as a servant for a Jewish family. it's been a very long time since i've read a book aimed for a younger audience, and i was very taken with how much compassion and care Schlitz wrote the main character and the way she doesn't shy away from writing the tensions that come with the main character's position.

Looking forward to: for the immediate future, getting my enrollment for school squared away and done with!!! but also really looking forward to going to shanghai in march/april. i haven't been back since i was 12 so i'm excited to be able to travel the city as an adult this time around :3
