Questions for me:

Name one place you really want to visit someday.

I’m not too much of a traveler and I did so much of it when I was a child. It would be pretty incredible to visit Egypt and see the pyramids. I also wouldn’t mind going to Italy because I imagine the food would be delicious.

What is the perfect end to a day?

Ending the day in a soft and warm bed, feeling super cozy. Watching a movie or reading a book. Maybe a cup of hot tea.

Which do you prefer: Cooking for someone, having someone cook for you, cooking for yourself, or takeout?

It really depends on so many factors. I usually don’t like cooking for others because it’s a lot of pressure. So I would rather someone cooks for me or takeout. Homecooked meals are usually better but it depends what it is and if I like it. Pizza is almost always better through takeout.

For reading, what format do you like best (print, electronic, audio, etc.)?

I prefer books, it feels better on my eyes than electronics, as I spend most of my time already staring at a screen. I am recently enjoying audiobooks, might try to get into that more because that way I can multitask and get other things done. Reading a book is more meditative but not always practical, as it’s time consuming.

Other than looking at a clock or phone, how do you check the time?

I use my laptop. And I work, I wear a watch.

What kind of ending to a story makes you mad?

If a story ends too upsetting or too perfect, I hate it. I get mad when there’s no resolution and all the characters end up sad and depressed, I also get mad when everything magically works out and everyone is happy and all the bad characters get their justice. I like a balance because it’s more realistic and relatable. I like when it’s mainly satisfying but there’s also still a hint of melancholiness and more struggles to come. I like when most of the questions are answered but there’s still some room to wonder or interpret what happens next.

If you had a time machine, what would you use it for?

I think going to the future would ruin a lot of things about the present. I always wanted to see myself in person as a young child, like 3 or 4 years old, because I feel like I could learn a lot of things about myself and gain better self-understanding. That’s like the age when you act your true personality before the world pressures you to be someone you’re not. I could see which current parts of me are true and which parts are conditioned.

If you could control an element, what would it be?

I would probably choose fire, pyrokinesis has fascinated me for a long time.

Are colors more or less vivid in your dreams?

I have never really noticed too much of a difference!

What kind of sky lifts your heart?

A cotton candy pink sky is so beautiful!

Where do the lost things go?

I’ve often found myself spending a long time looking for something, and as soon as I announce out loud “I can’t find this!” it suddenly appears!

My questions for you:

1. What is your favorite planet and why?
2. What do you typically eat for lunch?
