#by the way my mom's favorite hobby is hiking

[podcastwizard]

no coincidence that my terrible grandmother's favorite hobby was golf (ew, cringe) and my wonderful grandmother's favorite hobby is thousand piece puzzles and her extensive library of mystery novels (cool, awesome, love you grandma)

15 questions for 15 friends:

Hi, @lady-featherquill and @missamyrisa2! I’m honored that two such illustrious writers would think of me.

Were you named after anyone?: Nope! My mom may have gotten the name from a soap opera she was watching, though… but that might just be one of my dad’s lame jokes, lol.

When was the last time you cried?: The ending of Godzilla Minus One. I’m serious.

Do you have kids?: Nada.

What sports do you play/have you played?: I played tennis when I was in junior high and early high school! Was big into it for a while … and then we moved and my new high school didn’t have a team. Had a thriving theatre program, though! I’m ultimately very thankful for that.

Do you use sarcasm?: Me?? Psshhh. Nahhh. 😉

What is the first thing you notice about people?: Tough question. IRL… probably the way they carry themselves? The way they move through space. I also notice how they say things… phrases, reactions. Does that make sense? … Maybe this is too deep. I notice clothing style, too! Not in a critical way, just assessing. As for online, I WILL notice your texting style. Perfect grammar, all lowercase no punctuation, how often you use emojis and how. Just warning y’all.

What's your eye color?: Brown, tending more toward honey/amber than black. (My brother has super dark brown eyes like the latter and I’m only a little envious.)

Scary movies or happy endings?: Happy endings, definitely. I can’t handle scary movies at all, let alone downer endings. … I never did watch that Cyberpunk anime. I should get to that…

Any talents?: Writing. Acting. I’m a fast reader. Projecting my voice. Memorizing lines. ... a lot of these are related to acting, haha.

Where were you born?: Louisiana! And then got moved away before I was even a year old, so I don’t exactly remember it.

What are your hobbies?: Reading, writing, video games, listening to music, TTRPGs (GMing and playing). Typical nerd! I also like walks, casual hikes, and trying new coffeehouses.

Do you have any pets?: Sadly, no… I miss having dogs. And I love cats, but I’m allergic to them… it sucks.

How tall are you?: 5’7”, and a lot more confident about it than I used to be! (I know it’s kind of the stereotypical “bitter guy” height, lol. It’s fine, I probably shouldn’t go into politics anyway. 😆)

Favorite subject in school?: English, hands down. 

Dream job?: I wish I knew. It would be fun to be creative for a living – a writer, or one of those streaming D&D Dungeon Masters – but it might also drain me of the creativity I need for my hobbies. I’d like to do something that actually helps people, charity work or something. I know I sound really driftless for a 30-something… I just care more about my life outside of my job, y'know? And I’d like to get out of finance one day, man.

Join in and pass it on if you can. Don't feel obligated!: 15?? That’s a lot. Hi, mutuals! If I haven’t said hi before now, I’d like to get to know you better. 😊

✨15 QUESTIONS FOR FRIENDS✨

.

.

.

I was tagged by the lovely Sindar @remusjohnslupin (fight me, I’m ready 👁️👄👁️🔪). So excited to do one of these “get to know me” threads again. They’re always so interesting to read.

.

.

Are you named after someone? Nope. I’m named after a project my father worked on (the Mars rover missions) and my mom’s favorite day of the week, Sunday.

When was the last time you cried? A few days ago. It was for a role though so that doesn’t really count (?). In a non-acting capacity I’d say a week ago when I had the wonderful realization that a 40 hour work week isn’t condusive to my creative process and school schedule and cried in relief as I put in my two-weeks notice.

Do you have kids? Nope and I don’t want to have any theough pregnancy. I don’t like the idea of being physically pregnant and my family has a few things genetically that I wouldn’t want to pass down to my children like breast cancer and ovarian cancer. But I want to adopt three kids someday—preferably preteens or teens because I hate knowing that there are kids going through life in foster care and are phased out of the system at 18 with no experience and they’re expected to either sink or swim. It’s pretty heartless tbh.

What sports do you play/have played? Oh gosh, okay, there’s a lot. I was captain of track for all four years, swim and dive for three. I was the ace pitcher of my HS’s baseball team. Played volleyball. Did tennis for a year but didn’t stick with it. I surf, skateboard, snowboard, and rock climb and I’m thinking of picking up dirt biking because my friends from my work won’t leave me alone about it.

Do you use sarcasm? I’m a writer. The answer is pretty self-explanatory. lol.

What is the first thing you notice about people? Their tells and mannerisms. I always notice if someone’s words match their mannerisms and behavior and that tells me half of what I need to know about the and what they won’t say aloud.

What’s your eye colour? Dark brown.

Scary movies or happy endings? In the words of Tulio and Miguel, both. Both is good.

Any talents? I can write and play a mean fiddle/violin solo. I also have a talent for injuring myself but bouncing back quickly and with little fear toward repeating the same mistake that got me hurt in the first play (broke my nose twice snowboarding, still go up to the mountains every winter).

Where were you born? The forests of North Carolina. My family has since moved.

What are your hobbies? Writing (the love of my life), going to the gardening center for more plants because there’s no such thing as too many, hiking, biking, running, rock climbing with friends, annoying/teasing my friends while they’re rock climbing, discovering something new in the city on my days off, camping, calling @remusjohnslupin a Sindar and cackling like a bog witch when she scolds me for it, etc… The list is endless.

Do you have any pet? I have a monster named Mitzy who claims to be a chihuahua but I know she’s a gremlin larping as a dog.

How tall are you? 5’10”. Idk how many centimeters that is exact. I think it’s ~178cm.

Favourite subject in school? English, geology, and art. I can’t pick so it’s a three-way draw.

Dream job? Writer-Director that moonlights as a contributing writer to Scientific American.

15 questions for 15 friends

Tagged by @gingerniiiija. Thanks, friend! This was super fun.

Were you named after anyone? I was. In good Southern (US) fashion, I have a double name that incorporates my grandmother's maiden name, which was also my mom's middle name and is now one of my niece's names.

When was the last time you cried? Today. I took one of my dogs to board at the same time that a pup was coming for their last vet visit and watching him surrounded by his crying family while an instrumental version of a Brandi Carlile song played over the vet speakers broke me. Managed to keep it together until I got to the car. Before that, Thursday during Critical Role.

Do you have kids? I do not. I do have wonderful nieces, and being their aunt is one of the best things in my life.

What sports have you played/do you play? I played church basketball and soccer when I was little. As an adult, I've played rugby but I tend toward activities like running, yoga, swimming, and hiking/wandering with my dogs.

Do you use sarcasm? Yes, in a dry humor way. My entire family is dry as hell, so it's a big part of my sense of humor, although I rein it in with strangers so as not to be a tool. I'm typically called a golden retriever gay, but one of the highest compliments I have ever received was one of my oldest friends telling me that Sister Michael from Derry Girls reminded her of me.

First thing you notice about people? I genuinely don't think I have a pattern here. Voice, maybe? Or smile? I do often appreciate and take note of people's style as well, especially shoes.

What is your eye color? Green

Scary movies or happy endings? Whichever has the better queer storyline

Any talents? I come in clutch in the following trivia categories: pop culture (non-reality tv); 90s country music/modern women of country; name that song; US history and politics and/or law; and queer things. Per my nieces, I am very good at the "funny faces" feature on FaceTime, a solid water slide escort, and an acceptable makeshift jungle gym. I have been told that I'm an excellent driver; I enjoy driving and have driven both a passenger van and a U-Haul up most of the East Coast of the US.

Where were you born? A military base in the United States.

What are your hobbies? I love writing, feeding/spending easy time with friends, reading (preference for fiction, poetry, and comics, although I do love some philosophy and theory as well), exploring good food and new places (solo or with friends, my own city or others), live music and theater, playing board games and Switch, watching tv and movies (my oldest niece and I see a movie every time I visit them in person and it brings me great joy), and being silly with my nieces. I'm a lawyer and a law nerd, so I also spend time following SCOTUS and listening to legal/political podcasts.

Do you have any pets? Two dogs, Annie and Buffy, a big doofy retriever mix and a tiny poodle-ish terror respectively.

How tall are you? 5' 8"

Favorite subject in school? Growing up, English/Lit, closely followed by History. At university, I majored in History and Gender & Sexuality Studies.

Dream Job? Obligatory note that I do not dream of labor. But I'm actually currently working on a career shift, so I'm giving this a lot of thought. I'd love to be a writer, journalist, professor, or preacher (last one is more complicated, for probably obvious reasons).

Would love to see answers from anyone who wants to do this! Tagging @korralone, @kasadilla11, @antlereed, and @overnighttosunflowers. Pls forgive me/disregard if you hate this, ha.

Tagged by @giddyupbuck @spotsandsocks @monsterrae1 @wikiangela @stereopticons @thewolvesof1998 @statueinthestone @your-catfish-friend @apothecarose @pirrusstuff @eddiediaztho @jesuisici33 Thank you loves! (and I know I haven't read all of yours but I'm catching up and I'm sure you're all lovely!)

1. Are you named after anyone?

No. My middle name is the same as my mom's but I think that's more because it's very common.

2. When was the last time you cried?

When I was writing the snippet in this post. It was a full out I can't even see anymore type of ugly cry.

3. Do you have kids?

One! Well, 3 if you count the cats (and I totally do)

4. What sports do you play/have played?

Not really much of a sports person (I'm sure that's shocking information) but I did at one point do track, cross country and marching band.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Moi? Never!

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

For IRL people probably their energy. And I guess something similar for Pocket Friends just in a different way.

7. What’s your eye color?

a nice medium brown

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

happy endings. y'all can have the scary movies (I'm such a scaredy cat)

9. Any talents?

Dude (gn) I hate this question so much. I'm sure there's something, I just can't think of what it is. I guess I like to think I'm good with puns and word play. Oh! And I have this knack for getting upgraded seats at concerts and sporting events.

10. Where were you born?

Northeast US

11. What are your hobbies?

Reading, leisurely sipping coffee, sketching, writing, hiking, listening to music

12. Do you have any pets?

2 cats, Luna and Persephone

13. How tall are you?

5' 4.5" (163.83 cm)

14. Favorite subject in school?

History (my love of historical AUs makes so much more sense when I consider this)

15. Dream job?

I seriously have no idea. You would think by 38 I would have figured it out. Alas... I love options and think I would probably be happiest to flit between careers rather than choose one.

[walkawaytall]

15 questions tag game

thank you @officialfoxsquadron for the tag :D

Were you named after anyone? No. My parents just liked the name.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I think a couple of weeks ago? I'm trying to remember if I cried in my last therapy session, and I vaguely remember tearing up. It's funny; I was such a crier well into my mid-twenties and then I just...wasn't any more. The fact that I can go a month or more without crying now is still bizarre even though I've been like this for a decade.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? I don't. I would like kids, but that has not been in the cards for me up to this point.

WHAT SPORTS HAVE YOU PLAYED/DO YOU PLAY? Okay, well, first off, I've never competed in anything. I've taken horseback riding lessons (dressage and show jumping mainly), took ballet off and on over the years, I was a cheerleader in high school (I don't think the validity of cheer being considered a sport is called into question much any longer, but also, I was a base. I lifted people. It's a dang sport.), I used to run (I have successfully completed two 5k races and a 15k, but I think I'm done with running), and for the hottest of seconds, I did some roller derby training but never competed.

DO YOU USE SARCASM? Regularly

FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Their demeanor, I guess?

WHAT IS YOUR EYE COLOR? Blue/green with some yellow around my pupils (I think it's called central heterochromia, but I'm not looking that up right now)

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? I don't like truly scary movies at all, so happy endings, I guess. My limit watching something by myself is like...The Sixth Sense. I watched Haunting of Hill House with my mom and brother and loved it, but when I tried to rewatch it, it was way too spooky for me. And I don't think most people consider that show particularly scary, so. Happy endings.

ANY TALENTS? writing, I've dabble with different artistic mediums and have been solidly okay in most of what I've tried except fiber arts stuff, my brain works a little differently than a lot of people's, which works well in my line of work because solving problems sometimes involves looking at the issue differently, and I tend to notice stuff a lot of people don't (just like they notice stuff I don't).

WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Texas

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? Writing, horseback riding (though it's been nearly a year), video games, hiking if it's not 100000 degrees outside and my allergies aren't acting up (so, basically never these days)

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS? Two cats, Winnie and Posey.

HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'6". Fun(?) fact: my mom and all of her siblings grew an inch in their twenties, and I didn't expect to do that because I physically take after my dad a lot more than my mom, but I was 5'5" all through my teens and early twenties, and then suddenly was measuring 5'6", so I guess I also did the thing.

FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL? English and Anatomy & Physiology

DREAM JOB? Writer of some sort.

#it me #15 questions #wat answers

[menlove]

do you have any tips for viewing sex as a hobby like knitting thing? i sometimes fall into the trap of viewing sex as this mystical / special thing or viewing people who have had sex as part of this cool club that i'm not invited to.

hmmm... I guess for me one of my Revelations about this came when I was like? 17? and it sounds so silly but this was Seventeen Year Old Brain. but my mom was getting REALLY excited over colorful toe socks and I was like. you have had 4 children & have the most bizarre sex life of anyone I know and you're getting excited over Colorful Toe Socks.

and then I had sex when I was 18 and it was...... very average. not mind blowing or earth shattering. I was still very much Just Me. didn't become cooler or gain a suave personality.

and even now, I have good sex fairly regularly & it's still one of the least important parts of my personality/line of thought. I'm still just me, I'm still incredibly dorky and overly-obsessed with sci-fi and have weird habits. and I don't think you have to ever have sex to have those sorts of revelations. I definitely didn't, when I had that one about my mom and her colorful toe socks. I guess it just means... humanizing people that have sex? and I don't mean that in a mean way towards you to suggest you're DE-humanizing them. but rather that it's v easy to put sex and having sex on this pedastal as smth that changes a person and just reminding yourself of all their lil quirks and likes and personality traits that have Nothing to do with sex helps w that.

and ofc there's gonna be people out there that talk about it like it's the Coolest Thing Ever that you're sooo lame for not trying, and those people are assholes. but it's like people who tell you you HAVE to try hiking or trying their favorite food you know you hate or just HAVE to watch the newest TV show everyone is obsessed with. they're not right and you know yourself best.

15 QUESTIONS FOR 15 FRIENDS

thank u thank u thank u to these absolutely sweeties who tagged me: @soupbtch @ofmd-ann @gentlebeardsbarngrill 💖

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My mom was playing volleyball in the early days of her pregnancy and one of the opposing team member's name she loved so much, said she'd never heard it before, and named me it. I grew up in a small town and there were two other people with my name in my grade. Sad for me. However, I nicknamed myself as soon as I could talk and have never gone by my legal name (except professionally 🤪). Also I named myself after a bug sooooo who's the real winner here 🪲🪲🪲

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? This morning i listened to a podcast about community care and queer platonic love using bell hooks work as the foundational text and it made me cry happy tears of gratitude for the growth I've had in my own life. I do cry fairly easily, especially over beautiful things, the joys of being alive, that sorta thing.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? No no. I have one precious adorable perfect nephew and he is everything I could ever desire.

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED? I grew up playing soccer til I broke my nose and knocked all my front teeth out! I'm a big ping pong fan (I was the reigning champion two years in a row at math camp 🤓)

DO YOU USE SARCASM? sorry, who is she?

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? I love fun and unique hairstyles, tattoos, kind eyes

WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOR? Dark brown, when I was born, you couldn't distinguish my iris from the pupil because they were so dark. They've lightened a bit over the years.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Never been a scary movie fan, but a happy ending isn't what I seek, either. I love a good melancholic storyline and ending 🖤

ANY TALENTS? I'm a typebusker - I take my 1943 typewriter with me to events and write people poems on demand ✨️ I also love fiber arts of all kinds!

WHERE WERE YOU BORN? tiny lil farm that's been in my family for 7 generations

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? DMing and playing DND, quilting, weaving, hiking, film photography, collaging, finding new ways to explore poetry and art, playing the banjolele

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS? nah I grew up with a herd of dogs but I move around every few years and travel a lot, which has made having pets difficult over the last decade. I have loads of plants tho!

HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'3 on a good day 👑

FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL? three way tie between anything art related, creative writing, and physics (like how creative and dreamy is physics??? It was the only thing that challenged me and I even started to study it in undergrad!!)

DREAM JOB? I have a pretty dreamy job that's values-aligned, flexible, remote, creative, and fun! It's pretty high stress and I'm always working tho, so something less intensive that let's me travel more would be ideal 😎

What is the first thing you notice about people? HEIGHT and hair and smile. Then sense of dress. Although to be clear none of that matters if their personality sucks and they’re unfunny lol

What is your eye color? Blue/grey

Or maybe I’d be a farmer and take care of cows.

[themuse-if]

20 (or so) Questions with Jo Nielsen

Let's see what lies behind those beautiful eyes. Is Jo really just a hot hippie or do they have a more thoughtful side?

Interviewer: Jo, thanks for sitting down for a deeper chat. Let's start with your birthday – Aquarius, right?

Jo: Absolutely! Born on February 2nd. * starts to get more animated* The "Age of Aquarius" from "Hair" does pop into my head every now and then, you know? The '70s musical – but let's not get stuck on that.

Interviewer: Got it, Aquarian vibes. Any nicknames you go by, or is it just Jo?

Jo: Jo suits me fine. Keeps it simple. *shrugs*

Interviewer: Good to know. Beyond music and the Rebel Rejects, what are some of your good traits?

Jo: Empathy is one. I've been through a lot, so I tend to connect with people on a deeper level. I'm also a good listener. Life's too short not to find humor in the chaos, so a wicked sense of humor is in the mix too.

Interviewer: Sounds like a solid combo. On the flip side, any traits you consider challenging?

Jo: I can be guarded. Growing up in a commune, nudist colony, and a cult – trust doesn't come easy. It's a protective mechanism, you know? Opening up about my own struggles is also something I'm working on.

Interviewer: Understandable. Hobbies outside of music – what's Jo into in more detail?

Jo: Getting lost in a good book is one of my favorite pastimes. The escape into different worlds helps me find balance. Also, nature – hiking, camping. There's something calming about the outdoors that resonates with me.

Interviewer: Nice choices. Let's explore strengths a bit more. Besides the drums, what do you see as your greatest strength?

Jo: Resilience, definitely. Life threw some curveballs, especially after my dad's sudden suicide, but I've kept bouncing back. It's like punk rock – resilient and unapologetic.

Interviewer: Powerful. And on the flip side, what's your biggest weakness?

Jo: Maybe a bit too self-reliant. Asking for help isn't my strong suit. It's a work in progress, though. *runs finger through hair*

Interviewer: Growth is a journey. Describe yourself in one word.

Jo: Complex.

Interviewer: Intriguing choice. How do you think others see you in one word?

Jo: Genuine.

Interviewer: Nice. Let's dive deeper. What's your greatest fear in more detail?

Jo: Losing people I care about. I've dealt with enough loss already, and the thought of it happening again is something that keeps me up at night.

Interviewer: Tough reality. Top priorities in your life right now – could you elaborate?

Jo: Keeping the Rebel Rejects together is crucial. The band is family, and we've been through thick and thin. Beyond that, it's about enjoying the simple moments – friendships, music, and finding inner peace.

Interviewer: Family – tell me more about your relationship with your mom.

Jo: It's just me and her. After my dad's passing, we became a tight-knit team. She's been my rock through all the unconventional experiences. We've leaned on each other in ways that go beyond the typical parent-child dynamic. *cracks a sad smile*

Interviewer: That's really sweet, I hope you won't miss her too much during your transition into university. Alright, future goals – what's on Jo's agenda?

Jo: Fame and fortune aren't the driving forces for me. Playing music with friends, exploring the world, and finding those hidden gems – that's what I'm all about. Maybe create a little haven of my own someday.

Interviewer: Sounds like a fulfilling journey. Rainy days – walk me through how you spend them.

Jo: A cozy bowl of miso ramen, a good book that transports me to another world, and the soothing sound of rain tapping on the window. Maybe crack the window too. I love the smell of rain. The perfect atmosphere.

Interviewer: Love the imagery. Favorite book in more detail?

Jo: "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. Holden Caulfield's journey through the complexities of life resonates with me on a personal level. Especially when I was facing some very particular struggles when I was younger.

Interviewer: Solid choice. And what's your favorite movie?

Jo: "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" for sure. The messiness of relationships and the beauty in imperfection. It's a visual representation of how love isn't always neat and tidy, but it's real.

Interviewer: Beautifully put. Alright, any dark secrets or unconventional experiences you're willing to share in more detail?

Jo: Growing up in a commune, nudist colony, and a cult – it's more than just a quirky backstory. Each phase shaped who I am today. It's not a secret, but it's not your average upbringing either. The real secret is why we left, but I can't share that with just anyone.

Interviewer: Ok, thanks for sharing that much with me. Lets make this a little lighter. What's your best physical feature?

Jo: My eyes obviously! *a flurry of silly blinks and giggles* No but seriously they feel like a representation of me and and my duality, and I thinks that's kind of cool.

Interviewer: *covers face with notecard to hide intense blushing* *whispers* you're so fucking cute *clears throat* Nicely said, I definitely agree, your freckles are cute too though and your hair and... I mean... sorry next question. What about your least favorite physical feature?

Jo: *shy smile* I mean sometimes I look at my nose and I'm not sure how to feel, or I think I'm too pale. Not that Ro stands for that kind of talk. They're always like, "I'm only friends with hot people, so deal with it, your HOT!" *chuckles* I love them they're so cute.

Interviewer: Speaking of love, let's move to the last question. How would you describe being in love?

Jo: It's like finding a melody that perfectly fits with your rhythm. Imagine a cozy indie bookstore, flipping through vinyl records, sharing stories about our weirdest experiences. Moments by the river or a tucked-away park – it's a quiet symphony that speaks louder than words.

Interviewer: Beautifully expressed, Jo. Thanks for sharing your journey in more detail. Excited to see where life takes you and the Rebel Rejects!
