Q&A
Q:What was your last dream about?
A: I was in school... in a fictional world where everyone has a super power. My buddy could adjust her limbs long and short, she could transform, and she forged me a doctor’s note. A guy we met was building a VR game with some broccoli. He was making a miniature forest with them. It was pretty convincing. I was figuring out what my power was but I was sure I was gonna do something in architecture.
Q: How can cute save us?
A: I think cute can save us because cute has saved me many times. I think it can be the most powerful out of all... cute could... potentially convince evil to be better.
Q: What is your inspiration lately?
A: My biggest inspiration these days ... has been my own ideas of my dream self. I want to be that person so bad... I have been trying to build good habits, doing tasks on my own, building my own routine, and getting things done... without worrying so much about the outcome.
I have also been looking at pinterest a lot more for visual inspiration and so far it’s great! I like it because I can see a variety of styles and eras in styles - unlike on social media and youtube, what’s out there currently.
Q: If you could speak to a cat and it had the ability to understand you, what would you say to it?
A: I’d say: Hey bud, what u thinking about? and we would go from there.
Q: What do cats mean to you?
A: My love and fascination of cats really started becoming stronger ever since I got to cat sit my sister’s cat Parsley. Just when he was a little kittne, I got to take care of it for 4 months, when my sister and my bro in law went to Spain during that time.
It really has a personality! It’s like a person! It has so many different moods and emotions... it was like he got me... and I felt like I got him too. We would just stare at each other and play hide and seek.
I was studying for Chemistry at that time (I was taking grade 12 chem during the lockdown) he would come and study with me. A day before my exam, I didn’t sleep and he came around 3AM and said wtf are you doing up still now? And slept beside me.
They are the best ever.
Q: Favourite thing rn? :)
A: I’m really enjoying organizing my space these days... and archiving my own stuff... yesterday I organized my entire book collection by category and my drawers... today I went through my hard drive and logged all of the movies on there on Letterboxd.
Also I have been getting more into reading.
