(title has nothing to do with blog, as per usual)

1. Have you ever tried to learn (or re-learn) a foreign language as an adult? Which one? What worked for you?
I’m trying to learn French right now. I hate that I didn’t have the guts to try to take a language in high school/college. It’s also pretty sad that I have FIVE COLLEGE DEGREES and not one of them required even a semester of language. Not even philosophy. Not. Even. Philosophy.

2. Do you donate blood? Do you know your blood type?
I’m O+ I’m pretty sure, but I’ve never donated blood. I wanted to in high school, but I was “profoundly anemic” and couldn’t.

3. Have you ever been in a play or musical?
Yes! I was in all of St. Mary’s all-school spring and Christmas musicals, but I don’t know if they count. I was Violet’s mom in our fifth (fourth?) grade “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” play. I was the waitress Gina in our eighth grade “Chateau La Roache.” I was the housekeeper (I think?) in our high school drama play of…uh, that Ayn Rand play. The courtroom one. I can’t remember the name and I can’t be bothered to look it up because Ayn Rand.

4. Do you use certain text or ring tones for specific people? Who gets their own? Or do you just use the default on your phone?
I downloaded the old ICQ “uh-oh!” sound and I use that for my text tone for everyone now.

5. When did you get your first digital camera? Do you still shoot on actual film, or all digital now?
I still have my digital camera, but I can’t remember when I got it. I just use my phone now.

6. What do you think someone else would say the most daring thing you’ve done is?
Probably sky diving, but THEY HAVE NO IDEA

7. Do you talk with your hands?
Yup.

8. Do you have a lucky number? What is it, and what is the story behind it?
I dig 11, but any number with repeating digits seems to find its way into my life.

9. What kind of milk did you drink, growing up? And now?
Skim at my mom’s, 2% at my dad’s. When I drink milk now (which is rare) it’s 1%. Or chocolate.

10. What is your favorite kind of pie?
Not a big fan of pie.

11. Are you a note taker?
Yup. I doodle a lot too.

12. Do you have an eclectic mug collection, or is your stuff all matchy matchy?
I have a Black Mesa mug and a Chinese zodiac dragon mug. Both are used to hold pens.

13. Do you have a junk drawer in your house/garage/at work/wherever?
Not really.

14. What is the longest amount of time you’ve worked at one job – and what was/is it?
Current job! Since 2016.

15. How old were you when you took your first commercial flight? To where did you fly?
I was pretty much a baby. Probably St. Louis.
