[197/365] questions about myself

[cosmolinguist]

1. Do you put ketchup on hotdogs? Yep. Now I like fried onions and mustard too, but when I was a kid it would've just been ketchup.
2. Choice of pop? Root beer is my favorite. These days I usually get Coke because it's guaranteed to not have sweeteners (which I hate and which sometimes give me migraines)
3. Do you put salt on watermelon? I never have but I bet I'd like it.
4. Can you swim? Yes, I had lessons for years as a kid and got every qualification short of lifeguard.
5. How do you eat your steak? I never do
6. Favorite type of food? Pizza
7. Do you believe in ghosts? I believe that ghosts are important to people and people are important to me.
8. What do you drink in the morning? Always water. Sometimes tea, or coffee. Orange juice when we have it.
9. Can you do 100 push-ups? Probably?

15. Do you have a nickname? I don't know! Can't think of any.
16. Favorite holiday? The day I first get to eat a strawberry out of the garden.
17. Beach vacation or mountain? Either sounds good to me. I've had mountain vacations (my dad loves the Rockies and his sister used to live in Colorado) but never really a beach one.
18. Rain or Snow? Ugh if I must, rain, because I hate rain but I hate cold more.

30. Shower or Bath? Shower, it's quicker.
31. Last song you heard? Good question tbh, I was listening to The Age of Pleasure while I was working on Friday evening (doing sensitivity reading, it was really interesting!) so it must be something from that but I can't remember exactly.
32. Broken bones? arm when I was 2, foot when I was 18.

36. Are your parents still alive? They are. They're 74 and 71.
