Three Things About Me

1. I love baking. At the moment cookies are my favorite, but I'd love to experiment more with cakes in the future.

2. I've been keeping a diary for around ten years. I'm on my fourth journal now.

3. I'm a movie nerd. I know actors well, and weirdly enough, movie composers. I often notice things like movie pacing, lighting, and cuts as well. I love reading and watching books about movies so I can learn more about them.

The Questions

1. What is the weirdest food you've ever tried? The thing that comes to mind at the moment is picked cauliflower. We went to a Mediterranean restaurant and I thought it looked like normal cauliflower with cheese on it or something. Nope. It had a distinct taste of vinegar. There might be something weirder I've tried, but that's what comes to mind.

2. Have you ever ridden a horse? Only ponies, I think. I rode some at a Renaissance fair once, and once at a chateau in France. I think it would be fun to learn, though.

3. What was your first pet? Probably a family goldfish or guppy. But the first pet that belong to me was my cat, Kitty.

4. What's your favorite type of nut? I actually don't care for nuts, but I will eat almonds if they're doused in dark chocolate.

5. Silly question! What kitchen appliance do you relate to the most on a personal level? The mixer. It's got parts inside that are always whirling around, like my brain, but it's also steady, like I try to be.
