castironMay 6: How important is the decor of a restaurant to you? Not very. The acoustics, now, are important; if everything is hard surfaces and the noise is deafening, the food's going to have to be something amazing for me to want to eat there, even by myself, let alone with someone I want to talk to. But if I can hear myself think/hear the person I'm with and the food is good and reasonably priced, the decor can be dull and I'll still be happy to go there. (And at this point? I'll be happy if there's a restaurant I can eat at in six months.)
May 7: Did you have a teacher who inspired to learn and grow as person? Several. I had a bunch of excellent teachers in middle and high school. College, not so much.
May 8: What is the worst food you’ve ever had to force yourself to eat to be polite? I've actually been fortunate to not be in this situation, at least during adulthood. I'm recalling some horrible canned peas I had to eat as a kid, and I have one relative whose house I try to avoid eating at because the food's not that great, but overall I'm not in situations where I have to choke something down out of politeness.
May 9: What is a mistake people often make about you? That I'm quiet because I'm not interested. The opposite is much more likely -- you folks who are talking are fascinating, and I may not have something to contribute but I'm enjoying listening to what you have to say.
May 10: Have you ever been sky diving, bungee jumping or scuba diving? Not yet. I doubt I'll ever scuba dive, as I have ear issues with regular diving, but I hope to try sky diving or bungee jumping before I'm too old to do either safely.
May 11: What class at Hogwarts would you really excel at? As a Muggle? History of Magic. If I were a wizard? Probably arithmancy or charms.
May 12: What new fact have you recently learned? New Zealand has a biscuit tin that they use to randomize whose bills get presented for debate. Also, if I Google "Nutrax cocktail" to see if anyone's come up a drink based on Murder Must Advertise's "Nutrax for Nerves", I get a lot of results for CBD oil. Hmm.
