Do you have an accent?
Many.

Have you ever been given roses?
Maybe at graduation? It’s not a clear memory though, so, probably not.

Current hate right now?
Nothing, but there are loads of things I find frustrating (e.g. the dearth of U.S. working holiday visa programs, the status of my bank account, that most cars–mine included–still run on fossil fuels, geometry, the email that I am procrastinating responding to, factory farms,  BET, etc.)

Met someone who changed your life?
Well here’s some trivia (as if the rest of this hasn’t been?): there have been 3 boys who have had a profound impact on me and they all have the same name, 2 of them in fact, have the same initials. And their birthdays are within 2 weeks of each other.
Yeah, that’s not weird. There’s actually a 4th too but he–you know what? We can just file this under: Reasons I Believed I Was Cursed.

Have you ever dated someone longer than a year?
No.

I don’t feel like pirates eat well.

What songs do you sing in the shower?
All of them.

Ever had someone sing to you?
Megan Hilty, but then, I already told that story.
