So many questions.

Because Kendra wouldn’t get off my back, and I may or may not have spent the entire day in my room on the computer, I now have a complete questionnaire to share with you. You’re welcome!

What are the last three things you purchased?

1. Chocolate frozen custard in a waffle bowl with oreos on top (from Peaks). The waffle bowl was disappointing, but the custard was not. I didn’t know things as creamy as that custard existed.
2. Groceries from Safeway. This doesn’t sound exciting, but I made myself a meal out of these groceries (asparagus and tomatoes roasted with garlic and olive oil; fried egg; toasted English muffin), and as the other two purchases make clear, this is a not usual.
3. Three vodka-crans and half of a portabella mushroom burger. Oh, it was heaven.

What are the last three albums you bought?

I’m having a hard time with this one. I think the last album I actually bought was the Michael McDonald record used to bring Angie joy (it’s still staring at me from across the room. That silver hair is so realistic…). Other than that, the past few years have been filled with many a borrowed/stolen cd from the library, and few purchases.

"Michael McDonald with Godfrey body"

What are the last three places you visited?

1. The Hoh river/rainforest (beautiful + hungry bear cafe).
2. Orcas Island (beautiful + baby sheeps).
3. Hood Canal (beautiful + tons of fog).

Mushrooms on the Hoh

What are your three favorite movies?

This question hurts me. I just don’t have favorite films right now. In years past I could easily name three Wes Anderson films and be done, or name Anne of Green Gables and be done, or name Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine and Amelie and be done. But I don’t know, those are all still very near and dear to my heart, but I feel like I’ve watched so few movies lately that it’s not fair to name favorites when I’ve hardly seen any of the new contenders. But…I think Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine are probably still on there…and I’ll just leave the last spot open for my future favorite.

What three things can you not live without?

1. Coffee (it’s both a physical and emotional addiction these days).
2. Solitary walks/alone time/time to organize my room (they keep me from going crazy).
3. Food with friends (I love to eat with people I love).

What are your three favorite possessions?

1. My newest journal.
2. My tiny bunny.
3. Godfrey.

The best

What would be your three wishes?

1. Self-sufficiency for everyone.
2. The elimination of weapons (I just listened to the gun episode of This American Life, so it’s been on my mind).
3. To be able to fly (yeah, I still want that, and I don’t choose time travel even though logically it’s the much smarter/more exciting choice).

What three things haven’t you done yet?

1. Learned enough about the world. I, unlike Kendra, cannot name most of the countries, nor can I tell you much about them, or the people who live in them, or the history of them. And I want that, all of it.
2. Lived alone. I want to try it, and it could be happening soon.
3. Learned another language. Someday I’ll do it…

Hey Kendra, what's ny i Norge!?

What are your three favorite dishes?

1. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, with a side of granola, and cake…
2. I’m going to second that West African Stew that Kendra chose. That is the tastiest thing, and so fun to make.
3. Oh no, this last spot could be so many things. A really good curry? A really gooey veggie burrito? Anything with lots of olive oil and garlic? You choose, reader. I love so many foods so much.

Which three celebrities would you most like to hang out with?

Mostly I wouldn’t want to hang out with most celebrities because they either don’t interest me or they’re too amazing, and I don’t know how to act in either situation. If I could overcome my own awkward conversation abilities, I think I might choose any of the members of Sigur Ros (they don’t intimidate me, they are very talented, they come from and love a beautiful place, and I think it would be a pleasant time, preferably taking place in Iceland), Louis Theroux (mainly so I could follow him around as he filmed his latest documentary), and I’m going to steal Michelle Obama (because, as Kendra said, I want to be friends with this lady real bad).

Michelle (and another celebrity I wouldn't mind meeting)

Name three unusual things you are good at.

Ugh, let’s see here. I wouldn’t say these are unusual, but I believe I’m good at:

1. walking
2. organizing my space (and yours)
3. loving my job

Which three things are you coveting?

1. My pair of El Naturalist boots pre-heal catastrophe
2. a yet-to-be discovered cheap and awesome rug for my room
3. a bunny (a short-haired one)

The bunny I covet might wear this hat

Name three bloggers you are tagging.

Meh.
