I believe it is “How to Write a Sentence and How to Read One” by Stanley Fish, it’s much better than it sounds and it gets better as it goes on!

favorite day of the week? Saturday! There’s such a freedom in between the two weekend days, Friday and Sunday (well, Friday afternoon)

can you say the alphabet backwards? Absolutely not, why is this a sobriety test? I only know the alphabet when I sing it!

favorite pair of shoes? This pair of brown faux suede boots I have, the fabric is so soft and they make such a satisfying *clunk* when I walk, it bestows me with confidence!

your favorite state? California, it is so scenic

favorite job you’ve had? I’ve only had one job (and the pay was some sweet sweet volunteer hours and free lunch because I was still in training haha), soooooooo...technically it’s being a summer camp counselor! I won’t lie though, it actually was pretty nice, it’s a bit more fun when you’ve got a camaraderie with the other counselors!
