Getting to Know You

Getting to Know All About You.

Another tag game, yo! Tag 8 People You’d Like to Get to Know Better! I was tagged by the most incredible @movrings​! You’re the only one who tags me in things! Thank you, Love! <3

1. Favorite Colors:

Pale lavender, mint or sea foam green, light pink, and peach, Tiffany Blue

2. Last Song I Listened To:

Ultraviolet by Freya Ridings. It just feels so ethereal with a solid slow beat. Relaxing. Her voice is just so wonderful to listen to when you unwind. She can sound kind of other worldly. To me, it’s reminiscent of both flying or feeling the sensation of a soft waterfall beating down on you.

3. Favorite Musicians:

Florence + The Machine, Kate Bush, Queen, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, The Judds, Duran Duran, Edith Piaf, Jessie J, Anna Natrebko. And many mooooooore!

4. Last Movie I Watched:

Bringing Up Baby

Oh. My. God. This movie! First of all, I am biased. My mother named me after Katherine Hepburn. But! I feel like it’s a prime part of cinematic history. It’s been a favorite of mine since I was little. This is an old fashioned farce, with two amazing comedic actors, a leopard, and a dog. The chemistry between Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn is mind-blowing. And their comic timing together, it’s just legendary. Two thumbs up.

5. Favorite Character

So many good ones! I mean, Jaskier from The Witcher, Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice, Agent Peggy Carter (Marvel), The Honorable Miss Phryne Fisher, Tannis from Letterkenny, Mercy Thompson from the series by Patricia Briggs, Buffy (all the different incarnations, Kristy Swanson included). But my favorite, for years now, has been one half of my OTP.

Stiles Stillinski (Teen Wolf)

Best character on the show. By far. And best acted too. Teen Wolf didn’t deserve Dylan O’Brien and the terrible story line certainly didn’t deserve Stiles. That’s why I’m so thankful:

6. Last TV Show:

Two of them! I keep switching back and forth. The first I watch when I feel the need for a bit of levity, and the second, when I’m in a more serious mood:

a. Letterkenny

This one took me completely by delighted surprise. I really do recommend. The characters really make an impression. But each of them. They just get under your skin, but in a good way. This is a seriously talented ensemble cast, really well written and the quips are whip-smart and take you by surprise. Fair warning, this makes the show incredibly quotable and days later you will still be muttering things like, “pitter patter,” “You wanna come to a super soft birthday party?,” “hard no,” and “Figure it out!”

b. Elementary

So, I love mysteries. And since I was wee, I’ve been a fan of Sherlock Holmes. I really like this iteration. The fact that Watson is a Joan and not a John is interesting as is the premise that she begins as Sherlock’s sober companion. And I love that they don’t creep into the area of romance between the two of them, they’re just bros for life. That dynamic as well as the mysteries and solves, no matter how rediculous or unrealistic certain events happen to be, just makes it so enjoyable for me.

7. Sweet, Spicy, or Savory: Sweet & Savory together. Never Spicy.

8. Sparkling Water, Tea, or Coffee:

NEVER sparkling water. Flat for me! Preferably Tea, got addicted during Study Abroad. Blame the Brits. Coffee for a treat. But like, super sweet coffee.

9. Pets:

Cap’n Jack (the surly Bichon) and Baby James (the recently domesticated street dog)

Cap’n Jack, a.k.a. Jacker Snacker, a.k.a. Snacky, a.k.a. Snackus Aurelius. He is a grumpy old man who likes to dance/trot towards you as he tosses his head in an unparalleled display of adorableness. Baby James is a giant dork with an under bite, a crooked bottom canine, and a mohawk growing up the bridge of his nose to his forehead. Couple this appearance with the way he cocks his head to listen, and he resembles a velociraptor crossed with an orc. But in a way that makes you want to coo at him and give him kisses. These noodles. They drive me bananas.

Well, that was fun! Hope you enjoyed! I’m tagging @theannettles​, @jim-im-a-doctor-not-a-physicist​, @dontstepinmypuddle​, @swingsetindecember​, @pantstomatch​, and anyone else who feels the need!
