OH GOD NOW I HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP

What is on your bed right now? 
Uhhhhhhhhhh…bed stuff? Pillows, blankets, etc. And lots of cat hair.

What’s your favorite word or phrase? 
My favorite word/phrase to say or my favorite word/phrase in general? In general, my favorite word is syzygy and my favorite phrase is the wonderful palindrome “Massive Levis, Sam!”

What is the best ice cream flavor? 
Oreo.

Did you wake up smiling this morning?
 
HA. Never. The planet is doomed and I am almost always sad about something or other, so…yeah.

Is there something in your life you used to have, and now miss? 
This is super random and specific, but back in…first grade?…I wrote a “book” called “A Coo’s Story.” I gave it to a friend who then moved away and I never saw her or the book again. I’d love to have both of them back in my life.

What major company would you like to work for? 
It’s not a company, but I’d love to work for Statistics Canada. I remember I used to want to work for the Census Bureau, too.

What time do you wake up on a typical morning? 
It varies quite a bit. Right now I don’t get up super early because it’s too cold to walk/run early in the morning and I don’t teach until late. But in the summer (or if my teaching schedule demands it) I can get up as early as 4:30 to go running or walking.

What holiday makes you sad? 
New Year’s. New Year’s is so freaking depressing for too many reasons to list here.

Where does a good night’s sleep rank on your priorities? 
PFFT. Am I asleep? Then it’s a good night’s sleep. Did I sleep for more than 3 hours? Then it’s a good night’s sleep. I don’t need much to feel rested, so it’s not really a huge priority.

One song that makes you cry? 
Mary Chapin Carpenter’s “10,000 Miles” is the saddest goddamn song, bro.  

How old was your mom when she had you? 
30.

When is the last time you went to the beach? 
Oh god. Probably when Nate and I did our west coast road trip back in 2015. We stood in the ocean on the Oregon coast and froze our feet in the ocean.

What is the most random object around you? 
A sponge.

What is your favorite sushi? 
Man, I haven’t had sushi in FOREVER. Maddie, remember when we went to that really good sushi restaurant by my old place in Vancouver that time you came up and visited back in 2010? I can’t remember what type(s) we got, but I liked it.

What food do you find disgusting? 
Hahaha. There are too many to list or to categorize. I’m fairly picky.

If you could have any type of dog in the world, what would it be? 
Not a dog person. Gimme cats.

What was the last meal that you made for yourself? 
Spaghetti!

Is the hard drive on your computer full or getting close to being full? 
Getting close, actually, yes.

Are there any songs that you prefer the acoustic version over the regular version? 
Probably, but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.
