Harry Potter. It got me into reading, which is probably the most important thing that's happened to me so far.

Aside from a few minor written things a long time ago, I have a bandcamp page where I host my music. I still haven't gotten around to uploading the first album, and a third album is on the way.

Let life take me where it will. That's partially because I have a lot of downtime right now, and am happy to fill it up with fun things.

Do you frequent any coffee shop enough that any of the cute baristas know your name and drink by heart?
Re: Random Questions Game
Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2015 9:24 pm
by Epignosis
No. I make my own coffee and take it black. For what it's worth, though, there was one Scottish bar and restaurant we used to go to often enough that Earline put in my order as soon as she saw me. I miss Earline. She got fired because she beat the shit out of a customer one night. That place has long since closed anyhow.

I do the non-dairy milks. I like those with protein in them (hemp or soy) but I've had some new cashew milk that is rather lovely.

My Mom wanted to name me for her Mom, my Dad the same. I was named for a song they both liked.
Was there a name you would have rather had then your own?
Linki~
No, been there, done that. One true love is enough for one life.

I like anything that involves touching the earth. I volunteer at a community garden at the Litchgate Preserve once a month. At home, I stick to cat grass and herbs.

Sage. It's got a wonderful smell and tastes great on potatoes. Same with rosemary. These probably aren't that misunderstood though.

Ooo, many. Maybe 20? Not counting winter hats. Then maybe 35-40. I like hats
When I was in college I wore pillbox hats & cloches with pretty much every outfit; jeans, whatever. It was my protest against poufy 80's hair.

Pretty well. It's early enough in the season that nights are still cool enough, but not so cool that the windows need to be closed. I have a fuzzy cat on my lap, a dog on my feet, and a glass of malbec in my hand. Life is good.
