Thanks for tagging me, @dollsome-does-tumblr
Were you named after anyone?
In classic Catholic tradition, I was named after a saint. My IRL nickname came from a name my parents saw in the closing credits of a show they can no longer remember. The nickname stuck, even if the show (and the religious affiliation) didn’t!
When was the last time you cried?
Not sure, but it probably wasn’t that long ago. I am still the sentimental sucker who cries at every sad movie and TV show. And book. And commercial. And dream.
Do you have kids?
Yes.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
All. The. Time. Slightly OT, but it’s weird how we all have our own micro-cultures that we assume other people have as well. I strongly remember a friend in college who insisted that happy couples never argue, tease each other, nor are sarcastic when speaking with each other. That was news to me!
What’s the first thing you notice about people?
I feel like this question comes up a lot in these kinds of things, and I never know how to answer them. I don’t know? I’ve never particularly noticed what I notice about people.
What’s your eye color?
Hazel-green-blue, changing depending on the light and what colors I’m wearing.
Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings for sure. I’ll enjoy the occasional psychological thriller but I don’t have any tolerance anymore for on-screen gore nor jump scares.
Any special talents?
🤔 How do we define special talents on a website where the majority of users write and/or draw for fun? Presumably differently than in a corporate ice-breaker?
I like to write and I like to draw and paint. I used to cross-stitch, embroider and crochet a lot but I’ve fallen out of the habit. I don’t have any, like, funny party tricks, though.
Where were you born?
In the United States
What are your hobbies?
Reading, writing, drawing, painting
Have any pets?
I have the sweetest little puppy who is my little ray of sunshine.
What sports do you play/have you played?
I have poor hand-eye coordination and I flinch and/or duck when a ball or other projectile comes in my general direction, so…
I have played soccer and softball as a very young kid, but neither beyond mid-elementary school.
How tall are you?
Shorter than average for a U.S. woman.
Favorite subject in school?
In high school, it was probably a split between English (because I loved reading) and Math (because it came easily to me). In college, basically every Psychology course I took (I can’t remember whether there were any required Psychology courses that I disliked, but if there were, I’ve forgotten them).
Dream job?
Now that I’m *cough cough* years old and have been through a few career transitions, my idea of a dream job is different from when I was younger. My dream job when I was younger would have involved me doing whatever I was most passionate about at the time. These days, I’d rather have a job that allows me the flexibility to take care of my family and enough free time to enjoy my hobbies outside of work. So, I suppose my current dream job would be a part-time, remote job that lets me set my own hours but nonetheless pays a livable wage and also provides top-tier health insurance at no cost to me. We’re talking dreams here, right?
Tagging: I always get stressed at this point, so I’m just following my usual practice of tagging the mutuals I’ve most recently interacted with. Feel free to play or ignore as you like! Also, anybody else reading this who wants to play along, consider yourself tagged!
