Ten Pointless Facts About Me
I stumbled upon David's post of the same name and thought it looked like a fun and quite different set of prompts, so I thought I'd share my answers!
Do you floss your teeth?
I probably should but admittedly don't. I brush every day, sometimes twice a day, but I've never flossed.
Fun fact: I was terrified of dentists for years because of Steve Martin's character from Little Shop of Horrors and because my childhood dentist was not great, but now I don't mind so much. I'm lucky to have pretty good teeth, so I haven't had to deal with many cavities and such.
Tea, coffee, or water?
Coffee, of course! I love it so much I have a slash page dedicated to it. I'm not much of a tea person unless it's boba, but even then, my flavor of choice is coffee milk tea. I love water and try to drink a good amount of it throughout the day, but it has to be cold.
Footwear preference?
Right now, I'm wearing a thick pair of socks. In warmer months, I usually go barefoot around the house.
When I go out, I often default to my pair of Blowfish Malibu canvas high-top sneakers simply because they're the most comfortable shoes I own. If I'm dressing up or coordinating an outfit for a special occasion, I'll find another pair to wear, but most of the time I dress for comfort.
Favourite dessert?
I'm a bit boring and love a classic yellow cake with chocolate frosting.
The first thing you do when you wake up?
Feed Ranni. She wakes me up every morning at 6:00am for breakfast. I have a coffee mug that reads "I'm only a morning person for my dog." 😄
Age you'd like to stick to?
My 30s have absolutely been my best years. I'd probably age myself down a little, maybe 33 or 34, but I'm definitely sticking with this decade of my life.
How many hats do you own?
- a gray Metal Gear Solid beanie
- a black and white Pokémon beanie
- a black cap that reads "actual ghost" in white lettering
- a black cap with a peace sign, smiley face, and heart on it (got it at a thrift store)
- a gray cap with Darth Vader's helmet on it (was a gift)
Describe the last photo you took
We keep our artificial tree up year-round and decorate it for different seasons and holidays. Right now, it's decorated for Valentine's Day, and I took a photo of it to show my mom.
Worst TV show
I caught an episode of King of Queens once and hated every minute of it. It's about a horrible, selfish husband who constantly puts himself in situations that end in an argument between him and his wife. I don't get the appeal.
As a child, what was your aspiration for adulthood?
I wanted to be a paleontologist or geologist. I was obsessed with Jurassic Park and collecting rocks and crystals. I still love geology and read up on it whenever I can. I ended up becoming an accountant, which is much less interesting, but I'm okay with it.
