So this is really horribly embarrassing… But I just found this on my desktop, which reminded me I never answered it… It has been there over a week now… Sorry. Anyway:
13. Ah. Well, usually it goes the other way: I’ve gotten more shit for not liking certain things than for liking certain things. But that is mostly because so much of what I love is so weird that I just keep it to myself, I don’t really share my musical tastes. I’ve enjoyed a long, long love affair with Tom Petty’s music, that’s probably the thing I’ve been teased most about. Usually, the grief I get given for my musical tastes falls into the “You like that? My parents like that! Urgh!” category. *cough*alsomyloveofseashanties*cough*
14. Anything I want to rant about? My dear, I’m afraid asking me that is a little like pulling down a damn that spans a mighty river… but here’s one thing: conversion between different systems of measurement. I mean, there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t have a global measurement system. It would make so many things so much easier. Baking, for one. Seriously, I cook almost every day, and all the recipe requirements are in cups, teaspoons and tablespoons in my head, but all the English measuring cups and spoons are labeled in fluid ounces, pints, and milliliters. I know it’s a massive “first world problem,” but if you’re as incapable of math as I am, a really frustrating one to deal with every day. So yeah. That is really tedious.
