I was tagged by the breathtakingly beautiful @rare to fill this out. She's one of the loveliest people on this site so I'm very humbled to have been tagged. How could I say no?!? The concern is that the answers will come off as being slightly lame but fuck it, I'm filling it out anyways. Here we go!
1.) What's you favorite summer activities?
I enjoy hiking and hanging out with my family and friends. If I'm lucky I'll have a vacation lined up that summer.
2.) 3 Things You Hate About Summer
1.) It's very hot and humid during the summer in Ohio so at points it gets to be too much.
2.) There's few tasks at my job that crop up during the summer that I find to be somewhat annoying. Nothing I can do but power through, though.
That's about it, tbh. Summer is pretty dope. I can't think of a third thing.
3.) Who's going on holiday or vacation this summer?
Me! I'm going to Surfside Beach, South Carolina for a family vacation next month. Interestingly enough, the Chinese spy balloon that was in the news was shot down in the ocean was by Surfside Beach. It also has a kick ass famers market.
4.) Who's in love, who's looking for love this summer?
Not in love, not looking for it either. Next question!
5.) Favorite 3 summer drinks to stay hydrated?
1.) coconut water
2.) gin and tonics
3.) Essentia water. honestly, I could do a lot better with staying hydrating.
6.) Favorite summer beaches
Pawleys Island, forever. It's pure magic.
7.) something you're looking forward this summer?
The aforementioned vacation. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Cleveland Orchestra performing at their summer home at Blossom Music Center.
8.) Tell us something we don't know about you?
I play my cards pretty close to my chest around here and I'd prefer to stay an enigma wrapped in a mystery but in the spirit of the questionnaire, I'll play along. I'm the oldest of my siblings. I have two brothers and one sister. All of them fucking rock. They're so awesome! The best people I know, no bullshit.
9.) Something new you want to try this summer?
Hallucinogens
10.) Favorite summertime alcohol drinks
1.) Fatheads Sunshine Daydream. The perfect beer, imo. A summer staple. It's in my fridge right now!
2.) tequila and pineapple juice. My recipe for this is to take some amount of blanco tequila that I can't be bothered to measure out and then add natural pineapple juice and then ice. The ratio of tequila to pineapple juice becomes more tequila and less pineapple juice with each drink.
3.) it's going to have to be a tie between gin and tonics and bourbon on the rocks.
11.) Who's going to see a concert this summer?
If you count seeing the Cleveland Orchestra as a concert then yes.
12.) favorite summer vegetables
I don't know of this answer counts but I'm going to say grilled vegetables. I only have them in the summer but they're incredible. I could eat pasta salad with grilled vegetables every day.
13.) Regular burger or vegan burger?
I don't eat meat anymore so veggie burger. Before I went vegetarian I thought black bean burger were better anyways.
14.) Craziest thing you've done this summer.
uhh.....nothing? I stayed up late one night? Hell if I know. I'm 44 years old and risk averse.
15.) Things you love about summer?
The longer days, the peak amount of sunlight for my solar panels, that people bring out their cool cars, the general vibe of people. Winters in Cleveland can be pretty brutal so even with the summers being very hot and humid, it's still preferable to the winter.
16.) Who's ready for Fall and Halloween?
I am! I usually transition from beer to hard ciders, particularly this one. During the month of October I'll watch at least one horror movie every night. It's a tradition I started last year but I plan on doing it every year from now on. I also think fall/winter colognes are more interesting. The falls around here are gorgeous and the weather, at least imo, is perfect.
17.) Your summer fantasies and dreams?
Sitting on the beach in Surfside Beach. The weather is hot but the ocean breeze is keeping me cool. I've had a 10 mg edible and a few Sunshine Daydreams. The perfect buzz has been reached. It's tradition for me to listen to Satellite Anthem Icarus from Boards of Canada once I've reached this state.
18.) Personal question: where do you see yourself in summer of 2025?
That's two year away. I have no idea. Hopefully on a beach somewhere doing what I've answered in the last question.
19.) Fun question: who's horny right now?
ehh. maybe.
20.) serious question: do you have a summertime crush on this website?
Yes. Next question. Wait...that was the last question.
I don't usually like tagging people, mostly because I don't know a ton of people here and I'm guessing the ones I do know have already been tagged but with that in mind, I'll tag @cheshire_ and @lioncourt, two of the most frequently tagged ladies on the site.
