15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Thank you @coffeebanana, @ck2k18, and @lesbitorte for the tags :)))

1. Are you named after anyone?

I have my grandmother's name as my middle name, but my first name is new to the family tree.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Oh uhhhh I might have teared up watching Across the Spiderverse a couple nights ago? I also think I shed a few modest tears after being left at the airport for an extra hour at 2 am (NOBODY'S fault, just a victim of circumstance), on the tail end of a very stressful day of travel

3. Do you have kids?

No but I'd LOVE to someday

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I'm told I do, especially by people who I'm just meeting :) but it's the vibe in my family, so I don't think of it as "a lot"

5. What sports do you play/have played?

No SPORTS sports, but I did swimming and running for a while, and now I rock climb and hike. Also I love dancing and yoga!

6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?

Gosh it depends on the person - probably if they're nice or not? I interact with a lot of different people every day at work, and so the first thing I usually clock is whether I think they'll be easy to get along with.

7. What’s your eye color?

🔵👄🔵

they were once described as "fanfiction blue" and I think that's my favorite one to date

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I don't feel like the two are exclusive to each other but dude happy endings!!! I don't like my main emotional experience in a piece of media to be fear, and i don't need it to be HAPPY either but at least a sense of catharsis and relief is needed or I get a little messed up about it lol

9. Any special talents?

Ooh well I'm pretty good at languages! If we mean like a party trick kind of talent, I'm coming up blank, but I do have a lot of poetry memorized.

10. Where were you born?

Texas baby 🤠🤠

11. What are your hobbies?

so so many!!!! art of course, I'm learning to swing dance, piano and singing are something I love doing when I have the chance, hiking and rock climbing as I said, plant identification, cooking (I'm big into mediterranean food right now - complicated saucy entrees on fresh bread or rice is like my IDEAL meal I think), crocheting, and reading - probably others lol but that's enough of a list!

12. Do you have pets?

MHM A CALICO NAMED JUKEBOX LOVE HER TO BITS AND PIECES

13. How tall are you?

5'6" and a quarter hehe - 168 cm

14. Favorite subject in school?

It depends so much on the teacher. I've LOVED my linguistics and brain cognitive science classes in college, though.

15. Dream job?

I have a couple! Top choice would be a specific type of interpreter in the language field I'm studying to go into. I want to be a teacher at some point (my parents and grandparents were all teachers for at least a bit, and I've always assumed and hoped I'd end up in a classroom again for a while as the educator), and I would SO SO love to be a children's book illustrator someday. Artists like the Johnstone sisters and whoever else illustrated my books as a kid have had such an influence on the interior decoration of my brain.
