Do you read literature/culture blogs or websites of any kind? I'm thinking about anything that would help a putative witch to get a sense of what your current tastes in books, movies, games, genres, approaches to culture and literature and so forth are. Not so much anymore. This spring I started to feel uncomfortable with how much time I spent on the internet (and also how ranty/ragey much of what I read made me), so I've drastically cut down on the number of blogs I read.

How do you feel about traditional picnics (namely the intimate table for two variety)? Old-fashioned basket or something more utilitarian (cooler/insulated bag)? Not great, lol. The closest I come to picnicking is eating on patios!

If you were put in a room with 100 random other people the same age and sex as you, from your country, in what way do you think you would be different from the average? I think what would set me apart the most is my resiliency. My entire sixteenth year was spent in a wheelchair, housebound, and incredible pain while I taught myself all my school courses. I was so sick that my mother had to take care of me like I was an infant again: she fed me, bathed me, and was with me nearly every hour of the day. I was finally diagnosed with a very rare autoimmune disease when I was 17 and was eventually able to lead a normal life, but I still struggle with pain each day. I managed to graduate on time with a 4.0 GPA and went to college. Then in my junior year of college, I suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that left me without a large chunk of my memory (I was unable to recognize my family members). I had to leave school and had to relearn everything: how to read, how to tie my shoes, how to drive, everything. I recovered fully thankfully. This got waaaay too long, but I know that these experiences have made me much more resilient than I would have been. There is nothing that life can throw at me that will knock me down for long, and this is something that I don't see very often in my peers.

Haus of Gloi did a Reverie update! Do any of them interest you? (Or anything else up currently?) Not House of Gloi, but I'm falling in love with Conjure Oils.

Witchee, do you cook? Do you do all the cooking? Is it a chore or a pleasure? I do cook, but my mother (who I live with for now) is such a master cook and a slight control freak about her kitchen that she hustles me out of the kitchen if I try. I find cooking for just myself to be a chore (when I lived alone I would wind up eating the same three meals), but I adore cooking for other people.

Which reading level do you prefer to read in YA or Adult? Or even both? I'm not sure what this is asking? I read pretty much anything, but I've been finding lately that most YA makes my eyes roll.
