I'm already kind of an open book but sure, why the heckie not?

3. Is there something you want to tell someone, but won't?
Yes, but it's a matter of "something an anonymous someone said got to me and I want them to know my feelings about it."
I have no way to contact them even if I felt it would accomplish anything, which I know it won't.
4. Do you believe in soulmates?
Yes, I found mine in early 2020 and married him in 2021
That said: I don't believe there is necessarily a "one true love" for everyone, just that there are partners who are ideal for each other in terms of compatibility. And sometimes there are people who just aren't into relationships at all, which is fine.

Nah, it's paws, unsurprisingly.

6. What was your first job?
First paid-to-do-a-task thing was mowing the lawn as a teenager, but first hired-by-a-company role was working as a contract data analyst for Amazon regarding the Echo (which was called Project Knight at the time). Basically, my role was to transcribe audio and check the transcriptions that others had done for accuracy. I lasted about six months before I couldn't stand hearing the children of beta testers constantly screaming into the microphone anymore.

@owashe@meow.social omg how i would've loved to have been a fly on the wall hearing you go through those recordings
reminds me of when you brought that up when i posted about youtube's community captions. both great ideas in theory, each with their own pitfalls in practice -

But there were some gems, like the time a gentleman with a very heavy Chinese accent said "set a reminder to buy a birthday card" but whoever did the initial transcription didn't understand the pronunciation differences (I don't think there's a "th" in Chinese so it came out as "s") wrote down "set a reminder to buy a prostate pop"

7. What was the last song you sang?

8. What is one of your most treasured memories?
When I met my husband (then boyfriend) in person for the first time. He drove like 600 miles to where I live, went to a motel, he opened the door and I clung to him and was like "Holy shit you're actually here I can't believe you're here!" Then I spent the next several nights with him.

9. What has overwhelmed you recently?
Recent health issues that left me barely able to function during the worst of it. I'm past that point, thank dog, but the worst of it was /bad./

10. Someone gave you $100, what are you spending it on?
In the past I probably would have immediately spent it on a video game or something, but now I'd most likely save it for a rainy day.

11. What makes you feel appreciated?
When my husband decides to fuss over me, and when others take the time to reach out to me when I'm having a rough go of things.
Also (technically speaking for a headmate here, plural system whee) when we write a story and it gets positive comments. Always a nice feeling :3

12. Do you have trust issues?
Not really. I recall there were times when I had a lot of trust breaches in quick succession and couldn't really trust anyone, but they didn't last long. Usually I have the opposite problem of being /too/ trusting.

13. Best concert you've ever been to?
I've been to two concerts. One was a B-52's concert from when I was maybe 8 or something and I don't remember any of it. The best one is the one I remember from back in high-school: Dragonforce, and I saw it with my friend and his dad. Said dad was (I shit you not) Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith, and he had Star Privileges or something and we got to meet the band in the green room before the show. In all honesty, that's the only part I remember beyond the fact that we were watching from a balcony thing (not a VIP thing, just second floor) and the band told the entire mosh pit on the first floor to give the second floor the middle finger, which they did without hesitation.
