oops this is really late. my bad

11. describe your ideal day.

I’m actually finding i’m very fond of very busy, productive days. Y’know those days you think back to the morning and it feels like yesterday? I hate that part, but i love those days, and maybe include some friends and coffee/tea and that sounds wonderful

15. five most influential books over your lifetime.

1. Okay, well, if you and everyone else who has ever been on my blog hasn’t already guessed, The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice has definitely been one of the most influential. I read that book for the first time at like 12-13 and there are a lot of things I’m not joking when i say obsessed with because of that book, and I’m like 90% sure Armand is why I’m trans/Armand is 90% of why I am trans. 
2. Sorry but one more book by Anne Rice, Blood and Gold. It’s partially to do with Armand being in it and my love of his and Marius’s relationship, but more so that I saw Marius as this very perfect, noble, kind, patient being that I constantly strive to be more like (i recently was rereading armand though after years since the last time and was heartbroken to realize he isn’t as perfect as i had thought him, but he’s still very much a father like figure i look up to)
   
3. There was something about the Children of the Red King (Charlie Bone) series by Jenny Nimmo that has always stuck with me a bit, i’m not sure what, and i honestly can’t remember a ton since it’s been near ten years since i’ve read it, but i’d definitely like to read it again and would recommend.
4. This is more recent, but I had always loved the Matilda film, and I learned it was originally a book by Roald Dahl and that he had written books of several other of my favorite films (James and the Giant Peach especially), and so I’ve been reading just a lot of his stuff, an d it’s children’s books, but they’re all so good and leave me feeling inspired and roald dahl is very important to me (very)
5. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. He’s more famous for the kite runner, which i’ve also read and is what led me to read this when I realized it was by the same author. Not necessarily how it influenced me, but it made me realize how little we’re taught about afghanistan in this country despite having been invading it for ???? years. It’s very well written, heart wrenching, would recommend but warn that there is suicide and abuse. It had a rare kind of ending that left me content

(my bad this was all a lot longer than it needed to be)

25. could you live as a hermit?

Nah, I’ve lived that life for too long, and not even out of wanting to, and I very much need to go out and see people whether i know them or not too much.
