[Weight gain and past years on Risperdal and Invega, a side effect from that's far kinder to women than the rare men that have it.] I think I've mainly slept on my right side for years now. Never on my left. I have also started sleeping on my back more and more.

Have you ever experienced a "side effect" from a medication that was not that bad of a thing?

When I was on Risperdal I went up to a C cup, wasn't complaining about that at all :P

If you could have any super power, what would it be?

To. Make weapons of all types disappear. Guns, big and small, tanks, bombs, land mines, just poof, gone.

What’s something you do when time moves slowly?

pace. They always love that IP.

Are you able to get less commonly used cooking ingredients where you live?

Yes. I live in Czech Republic. There are a couple veggies far more popular (and therefore available) here, as well as different cuts of meat and meat, and several other things. I saw that even some Czech cat foods (of all things) even contain meats like venison, wild boar, duck, and rabbit, which are not easy or reasonably priced in most US stores.

What is the fanciest meal you have ever eaten?

Yes, I went to the Boston aquarium a couple times and I just want to say I love their penguins.

If you could study anything you want just for fun at a college/university what would you choose?

Science fiction in literature. I once took a intro into science fiction . I was great. I’d love to explore that in greater depth

If you could run your own channel what would be on it. Would it run 24 hours or only for certain times?

It would be the spacey Deftones songs put to videos of outer space (like POV of a comet travelling the universe) and it would run from 8pm-2am for the insomniacs.

If you could safely and humanely keep any wild animal as a pet what animal would you choose?

Ooh I love them; so my favorite route (in NH) is taking I-93 through Franconia notch, then taking rt 3 to 302 through Crawford Notch and taking Bear Notch Road down to the Kanc and taking that back to the interstate. It's scenic any time of the year but it's especially impressive in the fall.

Have you ever ridden a snowmobile?

Sure. Maybe I wouldn't want to listen to them every day, though. Sometimes.

What was your favorite song(s) as a teen?

My favorite song as a teen was "Hotel California" by The Eagles. Once i was in a diner and that song came on the radio twice in a row! I made everybody wait until it was done playing until we could leave!

Where you are, has the mask mandate been lifted?
Thanks for this!

I’m in southern Minnesota, yes the mask mandate has been lifted but yesterday when I went to the stores there was about 1/3 of the people wearing them. As I do. I will be wearing mine until the rates go down more.

If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to?

5000 years ago when polytheistic religions came about so I could convince people I was a God.

What are you currently craving?

Food-wise, nothing, but only because I finished eating two little chocolates and then a large serving of popcorn not long ago. Now I hope to fall asleep. It's after 11 pm and we had a very busy evening.

What makes you feel coziest?

I have two heaters in my small living room and when i have them both on it gets nice and warm in here. Also, my fluffy throw blanket. Also, my fleece-lined slipper booties. Also, my fleece men's hoodie with the hood up. Also, a Nutella hot chocolate is superb. As you can see, in Ontario we have to have lots of strategies!

Have you ever had a Nutella hot chocolate?
Thanks for this!

A: I did. I played trombone. I was so short I had to use my foot to kick it back up from 7th position.

Q: Did you have a crush on a teacher in high school or college?

No, I was involved with media production and communication, but I had a boyfriend, a really awesome person, who was a drummer in band.



If you could time travel, where would you go?

I’ve always wanted to visit the Bronze Age in the Mediterranean and to visit the Stonehenge in its hey day to see why they built it.

Oh, forgot the question 🙋🏻

Would you rather a a famous person or a rich person?

I lusted after my high school physical education teacher. He had a winning wolfish grin and honey blonde curly hair and the most attractive body. His shoulders and pectoral muscles were so developed they would stretch his t-shirt and then it would be loose around his toned waist. He was a real specimen!

Do you like nice hotel rooms?

Yes. Although I'm always cautious after finding a sock and some underwear in a bed in a nice enough hotel on my 2nd night staying there. (ewwwwww) Now I strip beds before I do anything else in a hotel room.

What do you use to reward yourself?
