~~And never mind that we clearly posted this on Saturday.~~

I mean. Via thefridayfive.

Rice or potatoes?
I prefer potatoes generally, but rice can be good sometimes.
Fish or red meat?
Yes. Either. Though meat in general is kind of a pain to deal with when cooking for just one person.
Salad or cooked vegetables?
Salad. It's easier, usually.
Cake or ice cream?
:large shrugging noise: They're completely different and can't really be compared directly.
Water, soft drink, wine, beer, or hard alcohol?
I drink water the majority of the time, with the occasional soft drink as a treat, and the very occasional mixed alcohol drink as a completely different type of treat. (Missing from this list: choccy milk, because your epic.)

1. What are you hoping for in 2024?
I'd like politics not to go to hell. That'd be really nice, I think.

I'll also enjoy it if I can finally get on ADHD meds.

But no matter what happens, there will be a cat, and that's wonderful. =^_^=

2. What was your low point of 2023?
Well I got covid in February, so that was fucking unpleasant. I think I managed to avoid anything worse than that, though that's... not a great bar, considering I still feel like my brain is filled with sludge about it.

3. And your high point of 2023?
Have I mentioned the kitty? There is a cat in our house!

4. Do you make New Year’s resolutions or are they just a waste of time?
I've already resolved to flip off a bird and memorize a poem (possibly cheating by first writing that poem), but you do know they don't have to be boring stodgy Betterment Of The Self™ stuff, right? They can be fun resolutions like "eat many pasta shapes" or "try lots of new fruits". ... Anyway no, I don't habitually make new year's resolutions, but there've been interesting posts on my tumblr dash about it. Still thinking about a Fun Resolution, tbh. Maybe I'll look for interesting new varieties of bean to put in my chili and/or tacos.

5. Do you have any traditions for celebrating New Year’s Eve?
Not a one.

1. It's 17 days until Christmas. How do you feel about that?
Well I'm an atheist (ish) so I don't feel super strongly about Christmas in and of itself. I do feel relentlessly owned by the passage of time, since "nearly Christmas" does also mean "nearly the end of the year".

2. It's the second night of Hanukkah. How do you feel about that?
We went to a thing yesterday where they lit a candle for the first night. That was nice.

3. It's Howie Hawkins's birthday. Have you wished him a happy birthday yet?
I don't know who that is. *websearch* Environmentalist socialist, cool. Anti-nuclear, less cool, but nobody's 100% right about everything. 🍰 for the guy.

4. John Lennon died on this date in 1980. Your reaction?
That was a decade before I was born... I didn't know John Lennon died before I was born <.< I assumed he had been alive for some amount of time in my life. Cause. Beatles. *shrug* I didn't say the logic made sense.

5. Beethoven's 7th Symphony premiered in Vienna with Beethoven conducting, on this day in 1813. Can you hum any part of the 7th?
Uhhhhh let's find out, I don't immediately know which one that is.

Youtube screenshot of the thumbnail of "Beethoven - 7th Symphony (Complete) ✔", which is 41 minutes and 48 seconds in length

Well. I probably haven't listened to it casually. But let me just pause this draft for 42 minutes to see if I recognize it.

*42 minutes later* ... what, did you think I was joking? I actually paused to listen to it while I fed the cat and did some work. Conclusion: Yeah I'd never heard that before. I probably won't listen to it again specifically but if I ever decide that I need a playlist of classical music I'll be including this.

1. What was the last dream that you had about?
Last one we've got written down is one that involved taking a lengthy impromptu road trip to a beach and only realizing after arriving that we forgot to bring a swimsuit. (We've definitely had other dreams since that one, but since we didn't write it down, it's lost to the void now...)

2. Does it hold any significant meaning to you?
I like swimming, I like gatherings, I worry about forgetting things? :shrug: Most of our dreams are pretty random.

3. Do you dream in color or black and white?
Color, definitely color. Not super vibrant, but you can't mistake it for monochrome. Or, well, maybe you could, but you'd be having totally different dreams, wouldn't you?

4. What is the most frightening dream you ever had?
I don't think I've ever had any real standout "frightening" dreams. More "upsetting". Like the time we dreamed of our web browser informing us that a friend had died. (Ridiculous invasion of privacy, 0/10 will not be recommending on the dream internet.)

5. Is there one dream that stays clear in your mind despite the fact it was more than a few years ago?
For the most part the only dreams I remember after more than like a day are the ones I write down, and even those sorta fall out of my mind until I look back at the written record. But one that's been sticking with me since I had it a year and some change ago. Platonic snuggle naptime with a friend while the group was out on a field trip. (And never mind that most of the group is adults and none of us are in any classes together.) I woke up first and played video games for a bit. There was a discussion of custom emoji for our discord server.

... speaking of dreams and sleeping, I really should do that, so good night. zzzzzzz

TMI Tuesday! Ask me invasive questions about fic or anything! (I take the prerogative not to answer if the result is far too private.)

If you wanna ask anonymously for some reason here's my curious cat box. I may or may not remember to cross-post the answer back here afterward.

questionoftheday asks: Would you want to be friends with yourself? Why or why not?

My answer: Cute gay catgirl who shares all my interests? Yes please.

~~we'd also make out, probably~~

questionoftheday asks: Are you a cat person or a dog person? How about a bird person or a reptile person? A fish person? Why?

My answer: Cat person, definitely. On account of being a cat.

Current Mood: cat
Current Location: cat
Current Music: cat

questionoftheday asks: What Harry Potter spells would you find most useful in day to day life?

My answer: Apparition is number one, no question. Summoning Charm a distant but undisputed second, Vanishing Charm taking third.

Three things we may or may not have one or more opinions about, via

brin_bellway .

1. Tokyo
My weeb phase left me with vaguely positive inclinations toward anything Japanese, for no actual reason. In truth, I don't know much about Tokyo beyond the bleedingly obvious.

2. Sprinkles
They look very pretty. They tend to taste pretty bad, though. (Or maybe I've just had bad sprinkles...?)

3. Grass
Looks and smells nice. Abolish lawns, though.

Comment here for your own set of three things to have opinions on, thus spreading the meme. (Warning: Timely delivery not guaranteed.)

(if you want to make the scenario fandom-based, I'm currently paying attention to Kingdom Hearts and Rune Factory)

questionoftheday asks: What social media platforms have you quit? Why? (question submitted by

fucktheg0ds)

My answer: I've never intentionally quit anything except Tumblr. The first time, it was because I had developed the habit of immersing myself in stressful discourse and my more moderate attempts to break that habit hadn't worked. I went back a year ish later on a new account, correctly reasoning that if I stuck to rattumb and other people who don't get involved in that particular strain of discourse, I wouldn't have that problem again... and then The Purge happened and I was like "OKAY FINE I GUESS I'M LEAVING AGAIN".

questionoftheday asks: Do you sleep in silence, or do you have to have background noise? Is there a reason for this? How about light? Does it have to be pitch black, or do you need at least a sliver of light to sleep?

My answer: I in practice sleep in silence, despite my preference for noise, because I have no reasonable method of generating noise. As for light, as long as it's below the necessary threshold, I don't think I care.

Tell me an interesting fact about yourself and I will reply with an interesting fact about myself that I think of when I read yours. It may be entirely related, or only related in the weirdest, broadest definitions. It also may only be interesting by the weirdest, broadest definitions. ~who knows~

questionoftheday asks: Do you ever have a recurring dream? What is it and what do you think it means?

My answer: No. ... Look, they can't all be winners!

questionoftheday asks: How prepared would you say you are for a disaster? Say that the zombie apocalypse happened, what is your likelihood of surviving?

My answer: I would be zestfully dead. I can barely handle living in the "functioning" society we have today.

questionoftheday asks: What is your internet history? What websites were you a part of that might not be around anymore, and do you have any fond memories of them?

My answer: There was this one Legend of Zelda fansite, "Zelda Forever", that I was super attached to, and it just up and vanished one summer while I was at camp. I still don't know what was up with that.

questionoftheday asks: What is your least favourite thing about each season?

My answer: Winter: Too cold. Summer: Too hot. Spring and fall: too short. This is what happens when you live at 46 degrees north.

questionoftheday asks: Is there a fictional world that feels like your home away from home? What is it and why does it appeal so much to you?

My answer: I mean, basically any game can feel like this. But if I had to pick one to actually live in, I'd definitely pick Animal Crossing, because it's actually peaceful.

And at this point I lost interest. Whee!
