Rachel Barenblat, the Velveteen Rabbi, tagged me for a seven things you don’t know about me meme. I’m a big fan of numbered and lettered lists, so: onward!
- A few weeks ago, I dyed my hair with henna. I naturally have dark blonde, wavy hair; the henna has turned it into a gorgeous red-gold that glows in sunlight, and loosened the waves quite a lot. I’m not sure if I’ll keep up with it — not least because it completely alters my makeup — but I really do think it’s pretty.
- I’m utterly convinced that the 42nd Street library has every book I could possibly want to read in their catalog; they have never failed me in a search.
- I taught myself HTML and CSS to the point where I get paid for it. And think it’s fun. (I make birthday presents of website layouts.)
- I’m incapable of sitting through a movie without talking back to it.
- I genuinely like country music; most of it non-ironically. I’m aware this is incredibly uncool, and I can’t bring myself to care. It’s fascinating.
- I have a really good visual imagination, but a crap visual memory; I have a hard time describing even family members in physical terms.
- I go through about two quarts of milk a week, even when I live entirely alone. Most of that milk goes into tea.
I’m tagging common periwinkles, eat make read, Not Eating Out in New York City, and The Bitten Word, if they want to do it.
