1. What's on your bedside table?
A lamp, a jar of bookmarks, a selection of science fiction,
fantasy, and philosophy, and a box of dicks, large.
2. Five items you "can't" live without.
- Laptop (because I'm a writer).
- First aid kit, because I'm a packrat who used to be a
DM [dungeon master].
- Something for music: phone, TV, CD player.
- Something to read, usually some kind of science fiction,
fantasy, or social work-related nonsense.
- A necklace.
3. What are some words or phrases specific to where you live?
As in, where I live, or where I'm from? I'm going to go
with where I'm from because Damn. I mean, I still don't
understand what fussin means so I can't claim Kentucky.
Coon huntin. That dog don't hunt. If bullfrogs had wings
they wouldn't bump their ass every time they jump. Useta
could ("I don't play guitar much but I usedta could.")
Whenever I was five--I *still* tell time in stories that
way. Y'haven't changed a lick ("You look good Leslie!"
"And y'haven't changed a lick").
4. What are your healthiest habits?
Regular masturbation, tea as meditation, exquisite sleep
hygeine, and I keep a gratitude journal. That's all I got.
5. What are the rewarding aspects of your job?
You're not putting my last name on this? Good.
Going in every day to a place I couldn't leave of my own
volition and helping other people get out of it.
Smiling at people who don't get a lot of smiles in their
lives, and when they genuinely smile back.
Engaging with administration even when it's frustrating,
and giving a voice to staff and patients who don't get
that voice otherwise.
