What are you most worried about for the future?
Well, for the world in general, I am a little concerned that humans may try to annihilate each other.
For those I love, I am concerned that something may happen to make them unhappy or unhealthy.
For myself, I am concerned that I may not be walking the correct path towards what I am destined for.

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
Well…. I have done without lots of different things in the course of my life – some luxuries, some necessities.
I can honestly say that there isn’t a luxury I can’t live without. In some cases, would it suck? Would I bitch and complain for a bit? Absolutely. But my mind and my body are fully capable of adapting, and I would survive, and still be breathing to conquer the problem a different day. And that is the key.

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
Yes, but it depends on what part of childhood. When I was very young, my favorite book was The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In my early teen years, which I would still consider childhood, it was The Mists of Avalon.

What quality do you value most in a friend?
My father gave me a piece of advice when I was younger. He said that you should be able to count the number of true friends you have on one hand, and have fingers to spare. If you can’t, some of those people are not actually your friend.
I have never been a person to have a ton of friends, in part because I’m simply a strange little introvert and a complete nerd.
There are two qualities that I value most in a friend, and I cannot assign more value to one than the other – they are equally important to me. The first is the ability to listen without judgement. Sometimes, that is far more helpful than any words of wisdom the person could offer. The second is the ability and willingness to call me out on my own bullshit if I’m being an asshole. Compassionately, of course, but still.

Do you have any collections?
Yes.
I have a tendency to collect various mugs or travel cups, some with sayings printed on them, some without. I don’t know why, I just like them. They are spiffy, and they make me smile.
Beyond that, the only other thing I really collect is my own writings and drawings, and implements used to create them. I have an insane amount of notebooks, drawing pads, post-it notes and random stray papers. I also have boxes of my favorite pen, and a small plastic set of drawers on my drawing desk filled with pencils, colored pencils, pencil lead, and charcoal. Not to mention all the files I have on my computer or online with my creations.
