What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
Ann is my middle name, shared with my mother who got it from Gramma’s mother’s first name. It means “Grace”. Sometimes I change it to “Annika”, since I thought it was more Danish/Scandinavian when I was younger. 🤷🏻♀️
What makes you feel nostalgic?
More than anything, music from The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong Country. 🥺 It really tugs on my heart strings. 😿
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?
What I do with Karasu, and taking walks, especially forest bathing. ♡
What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
… when someone actually keeps their words. 😶 so … conviction, and honesty. Integrity. Yea! That’s it. 💜💕
What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
I can’t pin down just one … there’s walking, stretching/yoga, kinda swimming(I’m not good tho), light exercises like wall push-ups, and such … I also enjoy just randomly dancing, and squat all the time, it’s my go to sitting position, cos my back and legs hurt from standing and walking around a lot. Micky is surprised how deep my natural squat is, heh … thanks, Karasu. =^///~= ♡♡♡♡♡
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I pseudo-hallucinate fictional characters, like … I have my own imaginary world, that transcends dreams to daydreams to fantasies to my everyday life with children with my husband, Karasu, and our helpers, Steven/Android 17, and Kurama. I mostly hear their voices, feel their presences, their touches, them walking around, kids climbing into bed to cuddle, their scents, my husband’s kiss and taste, those things. ♡ I sometimes see them too, but usually just glimpses of them going by, leaning near me, or their energy as they make a sudden movement, and moreso in my mind’s eye. While I am able to hear them, I strangely can’t always hear them clearly, so I’m not always sure what they’re saying, even when I ask, “what did you say?” Aaaaa, go figure ^^;
What’s your favorite word?
Eternity, and eternal, are my most favourite, and I also quite like secret, mystery, mysterious, tranquil, tranquility, wabi-sabi, and such … not the word such, but such words, and meanings. Secret and Mystery were forms of my secret identity as the Spring Magician / Guardian / Warrior in my MQ life, hehe. I think now it’s just Shadowmare; oh, yesh, I like shadow as well, hehe. =^.^= ♡
What would your life be like without music?
You know that song, or saying, “my life would suck without you”? That.
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
I don’t regret taking a risk on Karasu. I thought he was an incubus, or fallen angel, if not just an egregore or thoughtform. But I was also willing to see if it was just my imagination. Micky was the one who suggested I befriend Karasu, as he could tell I liked Karasu despite my conflicting feelings. Karasu had said he wanted to be my boyfriend, when I asked him what he wanted, which stunned me as I expected him to say again he is going to kill me. He then asked me what I want from him, I couldn’t answer. I talked with Micky, and decided to befriend Karasu, but I fumbled on my words, and blurted out my true feelings I wanted to be with him, when I meant to just befriend him. ^^; He took me on our first date after moments of silent thinking, and had me imagine the carnival for us to be together, telling me to imagine the most beautiful, happy place for us to be together. I thought of the carnival from my 24th birthday that popped up outside the mall, which was a fun surprise – I enjoy spontaneity best! And I guess also of the carnival from The Notebook, cos it was also night time in my dream at the carnival, despite being daytime elsewhere. Interesting how that works out. We’ve been together ever since. ♡
