A survey and a new family member.
1. When you were fourteen, who was your favorite band?
I don't think I listened to music regularly at that point.

Frequently. Sometimes it feels like my vocabulary has shrunken down to about five hundred words and I reuse words over and over again. That and I'm forgetful and mention things from the day before a second time.
3. Are you afraid of becoming middle-aged?
Maybe a little. I'm afraid of wasting all the time I have from now to then.
4. What are seven things you couldn't live without?
