honestly. how dare you. the vampire squid is the low-hanging fruit that i use when i can’t come up with anything better. i was into the vampire squid when i was 12. do you think i’m basic or something

anyway.

pomegranate: when do you feel the most confident?

while setting up a punchline in a group i have a good sense of already; when i’m discussing a journal article w other people; s*x, sometimes, tbh. basically situations where it’s not necessarily that i am exactly right/going to do everything right, even though there’s a decent chance i will, but that i’m sure that i can come across as smart and interesting and valuable regardless.

blueberry: what do you want to dress up as for halloween?

presumably as always i will try to come up with something charmingly esoteric and end up panicking and improvising with whatever i have in my wardrobe. if i’m really lazy or preferably doing several days of costumes then i may repeat last year’s Cambridge Youth Dying Of Consumption. 

kiwi: what’s something that fascinates you?

architecture & architecture theory, not that i like, know or understand anything about it.

papaya: what song describes your aesthetic?

aesthetically, i exist at the intersection of “kiss me, son of god” by tmbg and “staring at the sun” by tv on the radio. i am the middle of that venn diagram.

star fruit: favorite sea creature?

i appreciate the way that tunicates are extremely unlikely-seeming chordates that move from tadpole to notochordless colonies or superficially sea-cucumber-like organisms. plus it’s really cute to watch the backs of the larvae zip themseves up into tiny protonotochords!
