1. Hooooooooboy. Declaration: I am a foodie with an adventurous palate. I cook well and often. I am willing to try pretty much anything, and I enjoy a vast and wide array of foods. Hence...anything edible? This question is really far too broad for me to tackle... most things can be made delicious with effort and forethought.
I love food.
2. I can't say I have a distinct favorite, but I do tend to fond over any and all of the index-type pages (I.E. The Index Is Watching You, This Trope Name References Itself) and I'm not especially fond of tropes pages that are about tropes pages (I.E. ociety To Prevent Overly Original Names, Friends Of Really Kool Sobriquet, Kalculated Naming Indifference Violent Enforcement Section, People Letting All Trope Titles Exist Relishably) I have been known to spend an entire 40 hour workweek immersed in tropes.
3. Getting into social justice...pretty much happened organically as I grew up. I'm poor, female, and NDN. Social injustice was never something I had the option of not noticing. I'm pretty sure the internet and contact with other actual social justice seekers helped me more than any of my 'social awareness' type classes in college, though. It certainly smacked me over the head with the algorithm of privileges I enjoy more than classes ever did, and taught me how to not be a douche and operate in an intersectionally aware manner.
4. I wouldn't classify myself as either of those things, because I'm from Rhode Island and we have both run through a blender into a chunky mix of city/country/city/country without large expanses of either. The cities with which I'm familiar and comfortable include Providence and its outlying areas, and Boston. Country that I'm familiar with is large chunks of northeastern coastal woodland (Re: many weeks over the course of my childhood spent in Miles Standish State Forest, greenspace areas near my childhood home, tiny local farms all over Southern New England that I visited sporadically through my youth) I'm pretty versatile about where I feel comfortable/where I can survive.
That said, I live on the Internet at this point in my life. Meat-space is tangential to that. When I cannot connect to the Internet, I feel unsettled and disconnected from most of my social support network and the important people in my life.
5. Not really. I had vague 'a horse might be nice' ideations through early childhood, firmly stamped down when I spent a week at an equestrian summer camp at age 11 (I have been firmly in the FUCK HORSES camp ever since). I never really cared about vehicles other than bikes.
What I wanted more than anything as a child was to not be a child. Took a while, but I eventually got that wish.
