This is one of my favorite kinds of posts because I get to find out so much about you guys! (Read the first and second in the series -- and feel free to answer those too!) If you want to play along, settle in with a nice beverage and answer the following five questions in the comments (my answers are below). Remember, comments will be visible after approval, so they won't show up right away. And alcohol may be optional, but if we were sitting across from each other in a cozy bar right now, I'd probably order a hot toddy. It is the first day of autumn, after all!
- What musician or band did you grow up loving just because your parents did?
- What has to be "just so" in order for you to be able to fall asleep?
- What's the desktop picture on your computer right now?
- How do you part your hair?
- What is your go-to party trick?
Here are my answers...
1. I've always loved the Beatles and Joni Mitchell thanks to my parents' taste in music -- also Sheryl Crow, Carly Simon, and Bonnie Raitt. My mom and I even went to a Bonnie Raitt concert together two summers ago!
2. It's weird, but I have to wear pants to be able to fall asleep. Whether they're sweatpants, leggings, or nice light pajama pants, it doesn't matter. I can't sleep in shorts!
3. On my work computer, I have a pretty black-and-white triangle pattern I found via Design Love Fest. On my home computer, sadly, it's like that terrible stock desktop picture. This. I've gotta get on changing that.
4. For years and years and years, I've been parting my hair on the right. Recently (inspired by my sister), I've started parting it in the middle. It's differerent...but good.
5. I have very dexterous toes. Especially in college, my party trick was lighting a lighter using just my feet! (Update: Watch it.)
Okay, your turn! I can't wait to read your answers in the comments.
