tutkish tea

Turkish tea: What is your favourite cake?

A very dense double chocolate cake, featuring mousse rather than excessive frosting. Any combination of chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, or butterscotch will probably make me happy. I’m not fond of cakes that get very moist/wet though.

rosehip tea, strawberry tea, Darjeeling tea

Rosehip tea: Which book did you love when you were younger?

“Traitor” by Matthew Stover, which was a novel in the star wars expanded universe that took place after the original trilogy (before the canon was erased by the new movies). It had lots of cool sci fi concepts (an incubator for mind control aliens playing house with captured POWs, terraforming, and bioengineering based civilizations) as well as interesting moral questions about the nature of power and morality. It also features one of my favorite character dynamics, which is the mysterious woman tutor leading their student down an untraveled path (see also Kreia/Exile from KOTOR II). Needless to say I was unhappy when the new movies destroyed the canon, but I understand why they had to do it.

Strawberry tea: Tell me about your first kiss, if you had one.

Wonderful. The mood was just right with the music we were listening to, she had a tasteful chapstick on, and it was long kiss.

Darjeeling: What languages do you speak?

English, and smattering of Spanish and Japanese. I’ve taken Chinese and French but remember almost none of either.
