There are a million things I
should be doing. Or making a list about doing. BUT, I have cramps from the depths of Hell and need distractions while I cuddle with my hot water bottle and breathe in and out.
1. Can you cook? Yes! And well! But I have this NEED to
bake, mostly. Cookies, pie, root vegetables...But, man am I glad it's not my night to cook.
2. What was your dream growing up? Like every other kid in 4th grade, I wanted to be a paleontologist. After that, I had dreams of fronting some hardcore rock band, and then to be a stage actress. I went as far as my third year of college with the last one before realizing that I'd drawn myself too inward for such aspirations. I hold onto the dream of supporting myself with my art and doing something with my life that makes the world a better place for everyone.
3. What talent do you wish you had? Illustration. Piano. Violin.
4. Favorite place? Ocean. Redwoods. Blankets.
5. Favorite vegetable? Buttercup squash.

7. What zodiac sign are you? Cancer.
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? I have three piercings in one ear and two in the other, and a septum piercing that I only wear jewelry in sometimes. I have an illustration (my own) of an eclipse tattooed on my upper back, center and a Mayan drawing of a cacao tree on my right inner forearm. I want about thirty more tattoos.
9. Worst Habit? Procrastination. Tardiness. Impulsiveness.
10. Do we know each other outside of lj? Most of the people I stole this from, yes!

12. Negative or Optimistic attitude? Optimistic under a thin veneer of pessimism.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? CRY. I avoid elevators like The Plague. I would rather climb thirty flights of stairs than get in an elevator for two minutes.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you? I don't like this question. Moving on.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you: In junior college I appeared in two episodes of a television series made for Chinese television. It was a totally bizarre experience, and I never watched the episodes. My role was that of a student (the evil white girl) trying to blackmail her teacher with threats of reporting sexual abuse. Niiiiiiiiice.
