1. What are some things you love about spring?
Spring is the time of Ostara so rebirth of everything that went away for tick during the fall and/or winter years. That is all.
2. Your favorite outdoor spring activity?
This is an easy one! Smoking a big ol' cone joint whilst drinking a milk tea or coffee on my balcony! Also, outdoors music at any venue is pure bliss!
3. Favorite spring scents?
@rare I agree on the fresh cut grass thing so much!! Also, I enjoy the smell of just plants outside in general! I also enjoy the smell of people cooking with their windows open (when they are good cooks lol) as it inspires my cooking adventures in ways I might not have thought of or been trained in!
4. Any vacations, adventures, or weekend getaways you've been on or have planned for this spring?
It's already summer here sadly but I'll say this about then (spring) and now... No comment. Heh.
5. I know it's been a while back but how did you spend your Easter weekend?
I don’t do Easter things (yes I referenced Ostara earlier big deal) as I'm an atheist who used to be Roman Catholic and I abhor religion.
6. Question for the stoners: how did you spend your 420 day?
I spent it doing what all good stoners do! Getting stoned! LOL. I also had an impromptu DJ set at my friends place for the in crowd ;)
7. A spring event in your state or country?
In Illinois there's a ton of local and regional things to hit up. I'm not a huge fan of that kind of thing though.
8. What's making you happy this spring?
Spring itself made me happy. For a while. Then... Things got fucked up again as they usually do in my world. Bad headspace and some things that happened just now at the tail end of spring heading into June here were, very saddening and I am heartbroken over a few things that I don't really want to go into in this questionnaire but if you know me well enough, write me a PM and I'll elaborate.
9. Something simple we don't know about you?
I am a culinary school level chef. Yes that's right. I may have said this before but I quit right before graduating (like days before lol). I didn't want to cook for a living. I wanted to live to cook :) A simpler thing, I am a polyglot and I'm learning new languages again as we speak! @olgakulaga knows one of them I'm talking about :) Love ya my wonderful friend and thanks for the pointers by the way!
10. Share your favorite hobbies?
Well, my hobbies are varied but petty apparent from my page here. Cooking, music (both making it and listening to it) as I am an audiophile through and through, comics (Marvel mostly but I do fucks with DC, Image, etc.), gaming both digital and analog aka tabletop gaming (lol), avid fan of chess though I suck at it myself, a fan of reading in general but of course poetry rules my heart, anime, art museums and of course, FILM!!!!
11. How did you discover Suicide Girls?
Well, it's kinda cool. I was invited out to the very first burlesque show done here in Chicago by one of my friends (RIP Todd, you were the GOAT) and I've been here basically ever since lol. I was in love with @nixon and her work at that time as well as the rest of the ladies from that first show. Other faves at that time were and still are @sicily, @reagan and @london.
12. What do you do in your spare time?
See my answer to #10 for that information.
13. Something you love about the SG website!
What's NOT to like honestly? From the SG ladies themselves to the fantastic photography. The forums. The community (those that I know and can stomach me and my views lol). Shit, it's all gravy!
14. Who's ready for summer to get here?
This is going to be an unpopular take here or a hot take if you'll pardon that shit pun but... I HATE SUMMER lol. I live in the fuckin' Midwest and in Illinois especially, we're known for getting to (on rare occasions) experience all four seasons in a day sometimes but our summers, fuck I hate them lol. It's not the temperature honestly because I fuck with places like Arizona and its awesome dry heat. The humidity in the Chicago/Chicagoland area is fucking unbearable. That's the killer here.
15. Who's horny now?
Is this a trick question?? I'll stop being horny when I'm dead lol.
16. Plans for any concerts or music festivals this spring?
Well yes! I saw Ministry and LCD Soundsystem to name two and a bunch o' other ones but, summer and fall, there's gonna be a TON of great bands coming through. Animals As Leaders in fuckin' November... I cannot wait!
17. Some websites and apps you're loving?
Websites... Hmmm well, this one of course. There's also Vintage Synth Explorer. Gear Slutz and other music and art related ones. I'm loving Chat GPT (not so much the stealing of Scar Jo's voice tbh) and I DO LIKE DALL-E because you can do stoopid shit with it lol. The artwork I ask it to create is just magnitudes of cringe, funny and dumb and I LOVE IT! I also use Babbel the website and app as I am a polyglot!
18. Share one personal thing about yourself?
I'm what some would call highly opinionated from sustainability to the ongoing crises all around us (climate change, wars, my country fucking up the world, you know, the usual shit) and it's important that more people my age (in my 40s here) and younger than I get INVOLVED in all of this stuff especially politics! @haub and her country had a horrible flood a little while back and it's fucking awful watching my friends in Brazil suffer through that! Not to mention the whole genocide in Gaza and the whole Ukraine/Russia thing as I have many friends IN BOTH COUNTRIES that I truly adore. Remember this though, when I say I'm upset with the actions of a country, I'm usually talking ONLY about that country's government as they're the fucking problem 99 out of 100 times. Moving on.
19. What would be a perfect spring date for you?
A perfect spring date requires no set parameters! From a picnic in a beautiful park, to drinks at night in a great club/bar. The possibilities are endless with me. Concerts are always a good date choice for me as well!
20. Something you're just proud to say about yourself?
I guess it would be that if I'm cool with you, I love and defend you unconditionally. I always try my hardest to be there for those that I love (friend wise or whatever) and I wear my feelings for you on my sleeve. I'm not someone who abstracts what they feel about you or what I'm going to say to you if asked or if it's out of concern on my end. That's the one primary thing and the only thing that should matter in this world.
Thank you for the nomination @rare! You're one of my favorite people on the planet and we simply MUST hang out one day if you ever make it to Chicago, Illinois!! Love ya and big cyber hugs and kisses for you!
I'm not nominating anyone for this since spring has passed here and we are now in summer. Someone tag me in a summer questionnaire and I'll nominate people for that! Have a good one all of ya and I'll see you when I see you.
