fauxklore1 SEPT: World Letter Writing Day: When’s the last time you wrote a letter? Most years, I do letter writing month in February. I don’t think I managed it this year, however, because it was a particularly busy month.
2 SEPT: World Coconut Day. Coconut. Yay or nay? It depends. I like coconut cream pie, for example. And I like coconut in some vegetable curries. But there are other flavors I like better.
3 SEPT: Cinema Day: What are the benefits and drawbacks of watching movies in a movie theatre? I have an excellent movie theatre close to where I live, which shows a mixture of mainstream and independent movies. I see a lot of movies there that wouldn’t really be available to me in other venues.
4 SEPT: Spice Blend Day: What’s your favorite curry? I am not really sure how to define curry for these purposes. In general, I like medium heat and like both Thai and Indian flavors. In terms of things I am likely to make, aloo gobi is one of my mainstays.
5 SEPT: Be Late for Something Day: Are you a punctual person? I try to be, mostly because I think it’s rude to keep other people waiting.
6 SEPT: Dog Walker Appreciation Day: Would you like to be a professional dog walker? Definitely not. I am not crazy about most dogs to begin with and cleaning up after them is not my idea of a good time.
7 SEPT: World Beard Day: What’s the most famous beard you can think of? The first thing that came to mind was the brothers on the Luden’s cough drop box. If I remember correctly, we believed that their names were Trade” and “Mark.”
8 SEPT: Iguana Awareness Day: Would you ever keep an iguana as a pet? I don’t really know anything about how to care for iguanas.
9 SEPT: Wonderful Weirdos Day: Who is the most wonderful weirdo you know? Oh, so many people to choose from. I could write a whole treatise on Loserdom, for example.
10 SEPT: Swap Ideas Day: Do you have someone you swap ideas with? Not on a regular basis, alas. I have a couple of friends I can exchange some ideas with, but not it’s more on a now and then basis.
11 SEPT: Libraries Remember Day: Do you have a favorite library? My local library is just okay. But it is conveniently located.
12 SEPT: School Picture Day: Do you have a favorite school picture (yours or someone else’s)? I probably have one somewhere, but not easily findable right now.
13 SEPT: Bald is Beautiful Day: Is bald beautiful? Bald heads look good on some people, but wouldn’t suit me at all.
14 SEPT: Fall Astronomy Day: Do you have a favorite planet or constellation? I’ve always rather liked Saturn. The rings are so pretty.
15 SEPT: Cheese Toast Day: Have you ever had cheese toast? I’m not sure what that means. Is it what I would call “grilled cheese”? I am not, in general, much of a cheese eater.
16 SEPT: Guacamole Day: Do you have a favorite way to eat guacamole or a favorite recipe? I’m not really crazy about guacamole. I don’t like mushy foods, in general.
17 SEPT: Voter Registration Day: Do you vote? I have voted in every election for which I was eligible to vote.
18 SEPT: Cheeseburger Day: Would cheeseburgers be served in your version of paradise? Again, my body doesn’t handle cheese well, so no.
19 SEPT: Talk like a Pirate Day: What would you do if you were a pirate? Learn to speak Somali? (And, yes, I’ve made that joke before.)
20 SEPT: International Day of University Sport: Do you follow a college team? Did you play sports in college? I don’t pay attention to college sports at all. I played casual intramural sports, but nothing serious. I was more into dancing.
21 SEPT: Gymnastics Day: Can you or could you ever do a cartwheel? I never succeeded at doing anything gymnastic, least of all cartwheels.
22 SEPT: Hobbit Day: What’s your favorite Hobbit? I suppose Samwise Gamgee, for his loyalty to Frodo.
23 SEPT: Pot Pie Day: Do you like meat pies? Pot pies are something I like once in a while.
24 SEPT: Punctuation Day: What’s your favorite punctuation mark? I probably overuse semicolons. I also like the interrobang, but admit I have never found a good reason to actually use one.
25 SEPT: World Pharmacists Day: Do you know your pharmacist? I handle prescriptions via mail order so I pretty much never see a pharmacist.
26 SEPT: Johnny Appleseed Day: What’s your favorite type of apple? It depends. For just eating, I will go with honey crisp. But for baking I like tarter flavors, so would go with granny smith or maybe even a more classic older variety like Cortland or Winesap.
27 SEPT: Bakery Day: Do you have a favorite local bakery? It’s a very occasional thing, but there’s a very good pie bakery (called Pie Gourmet) in my neighborhood).
28 SEPT: Good Neighbor Day: Are you a good neighbor? I try to be.
29 SEPT: Coffee Day: What’s your favorite coffee drink? I stick to a medium roast pour over, for the most part.
30 SEPT: Orange Shirt Day: Do you own an orange shirt? I don’t think so.
2 SEPT: World Coconut Day. Coconut. Yay or nay? It depends. I like coconut cream pie, for example. And I like coconut in some vegetable curries. But there are other flavors I like better.

Date: 2024-12-19 02:36 am (UTC)I have a very distinct memory of the photo on my HS ID senior year was the best photo of me that had ever been taken. Unfortunately there was no way to get copies of it and I'm sure it's been lost to time.
30 SEPT: Orange Shirt Day: Do you own an orange shirt? I don’t think so.
The only orange-colored clothing I own is an ascended sweatshirt and generally way too hot for Orange Shirt Day. (Though I try!) I keep meaning to see about ordering one of the more 'official' ones and then don't.
