[insert survey joke here]

1. What are your plans for January? 
Re-start my walking miles for the new year. Start marathon training. Teach. Not die in the cold.

2. What do you want to see happen in 2023? 
I’d LOVE it if Covid just disappeared. Can you do it for me, 2023?

3. What would you give a 5 star rating? 
Uhhhhhhhhh summer? It was nice to finally go back to Moscow for a bit and hang out with my mom there, even if the trip did get cut short a bit.

4. Do you have writing goals for 2023? 
I do! I’m going to try to do at least one major edit/proofread of Ghost Town Realty.

5. How do you feel about memoirs? 
That’s basically what this blog is, haha.

6. If you could join any musical group who would you choose? 
COLDPLAY

7. What are your favorite genres across all media? 
Can “classics” count as a genre? If not, documentaries. Though I don’t know how much documentaries reach beyond the medium of television.

8. What candle scents are your favorite? 
NONE!

9. How well can you mimic other accents or voices? 
I’m not too bad at this, actually. I can do the turrets from Portal pretty well. And the transit announcer from the start of Half Life. And Barney Rubble’s laugh. And Lois Griffin. And Comic Book Guy. And Ralf Wiggum. And probably others I can’t recall right now.

10. What books are on your TBR list in 2023? 
Anything on this list that hasn’t been read yet!

11. When do you decide it’s time to upgrade/buy something new? 
When it gets too worn out to function well enough for my needs.

12. Why is your favorite color your favorite color? 
Because orange is simultaneously very soothing (at least to me) and something that makes you feel more energetic and happy.

13. Who understands you the best? 
Probably my mom.

14. Do you write letters? 
I genuinely can’t remember the last time I wrote a letter.

15. How do you keep going when times are hard?
I don’t.
