Hey friends! I’ve been seeing posts around where bloggers have answered Vogue’s “73 Questions.” I thought the one I found here, on The Dating Bitch, looked like fun. Another one will be coming at some point (probably as part of Blogmas), but this one looks like fun. After reading her answers, I totally get why we get along so well.

If you want to learn more about me, then keep reading!

 Vogue’s 73 Questions

1. What is your usual Starbucks order?

White chocolate mocha with almond milk and extra white chocolate, no whip no foam. Then I sprinkle chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon on top.

2. What does your workstation look like right now?

Way too messy. I actually can’t sit at my desk right now, because I’ve got planner stickers and photo setups for Etsy everywhere.

3. All-time favorite food?

Spaghetti and meatballs. I could eat it every day.

4. Favorite author?

Michael Crichton. He has the skill of taking something super cool and making it REALLY scary. Prey and Jurassic Park come to mind.

5. What do you think of open relationships?

They’re not for me, but every relationship is different, so if something like that works for you, I don’t feel I’m in a position to judge your choices.

6. Favorite video game?

Jak 2, part of the Jak & Daxter franchise. I’ve beat the game at least 100x by now, and have never been able to beat it in one life. The struggle is real, I’m telling you!

7. Guilty pleasure treat?

Andes Mints brownies

8. Favorite film?

The Matrix and Undercover Blues. Resident Evil is definitely on the list, too, along with Real Genius, Batman Forever, and The Watcher.

My tastes in movies are extremely eclectic, right?

10. Twitter or Instagram?

Twitter, hands down. I tried Instagram for a while but was terrible at engaging and getting engagement. Twitter works tons better for me.

11. Desktop or Laptop?

Either one, honestly, depending on my needs. Eventually, I plan to have both. My husband wants to beta test computer games sometimes, so having a desktop would work better for that.

12. Best advice you’ve ever received?

I’ve received a ton over the years. “Look on the bright side” seems to be a good one.

13. What project are you working on right now?

I have several going all at the same time: Etsy products, proofreading, blogging and podcasting. Each fulfills a creative part of me that I love indulging.

Green is the feng shui color of Health and Potential. I can’t say that’s a bad thing to surround myself with.

In everything but history.

16. Dream job?

What I’m doing right now. Owning a small business, that gives me the opportunity to indulge my creative side.
