I hate being stuck at home. If I had my way, I'd be traveling the world...or at least my country.
What was the last thing you made with your own hands?
Does food count? Dressing, green bean casserole, and peanut butter cream pie for Thanksgiving. If I have to name something else, I guess it would be the posters I drew at a recent arts and crafts fair.
In person? I spend a great deal of time alone. I guess I see my stepfather more often than anyone...three or four times a month, maybe.
Do you like short or long hair on someone of the opposite sex?
I don't care one way or the other. I'm not sure I have a "type". I've always liked wavy locks (think Cumberbatch's Sherlock or 90s Paul McGann), but I certainly don't like a person less if they don't have that kind of hair. My brain doesn't really think that way, I guess.
What's the most unusual thing in your refrigerator, right now?
Sesame Tahini - although that's not unusual, just ethnic. Perhaps I should say mineral and amino acid supplements instead...that's a bit out of the ordinary.
If you could hug anyone right now, who would it be?
My friend Brandi who died 11 months ago.
If you were city mayor, what changes would you make to your city?
I don't live in the city limits anymore, but I would put money into properly educating our children and getting the homeless off the streets instead of luxuries like dog parks, new city vehicles, and giant metal moonpies dropping on New Years Eve.
Art, writing, music, charity, babies, food, and I seem to talk about Doctor Who a lot these days. Also systemic disease, but I can't say I like that very much.
I wanted to play the piano, drums, and saxophone when I was a child. I'd settle for almost any instrument at this point, because I'm an old woman and still can't play a thing. I've wanted a hammered dulcimer for years, and I had planned to take guitar lessons a while back but never got the chance. Currently in my possession is an Appalachian dulcimer, a penny whistle, and an Irish tin whistle, so I should probably start with those.
Do you have a nickname? What is it?
My BFF calls me Squirrel. I call him Moose. If you're too young to remember The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, this probably doesn't make much sense.
What can you do to make this world a better place?
Have genuine compassion for humanity, and make every effort to act upon it.
What fruit do you eat the most often?
Tomato by a million miles.
What perfume are you wearing today?
I'm allergic to fragrances. However, I sometimes use Avon Naturals Vanilla Body Spray. I also have Cucumber Melon (that one kills my allergies, though), Peach, and some kind of Mango Pomegranate something or other. I use very sparingly and I've had some of the same bottles for years.
