What is your favorite physical aspect of your partner? If you are single, describe something you like about a crush or your fantasy celebrity date.
Forearms or arms in general! To me they signify protection and strength. They are what can hold me tight and shield me from danger. They are muscular from his physically demanding job. The definition of tissue and veins reminds me of a sculpture by the great Renaissance artists. Also, in the summer he tans really dark and ends up with a farmer’s tan on his upper arms. He has a tattoo on his upper arm and when we’re laying in bed and I can’t sleep I stare at it and trace it lightly with my finger.
What about you?

Describe the day you met your best friend, from your friend’s point of view.
It was a busy day in the dorm; everyone was moving in. I didn’t expect to be a floor coordinator but here I am. Everyone is excited and so far the “meeting of the roommates” is going well. It should be a really good year. There’s a girl who lives a few doors down and she seems weird but in a good way; fun and loves food especially Kraft Dinner. She wants to be a teacher. You can tell she’s a bit nervous but that should subside. We like a lot of the same TV shows and love to travel… little did she know almost 20 years later we’re still best friends.

Normally, we head back to the vault later in the month, however, I couldn’t resist dipping back to 2021 in honour of International Women’s Day.

What is a priority for you right now?
Getting through the winter; it can be a real struggle which I am a little embarrassed to admit because so far, there have been minimal slow and fewer super cold weather days –although when it was cold…IT WAS COLD. At one point it felt like -50. I get the winter blues so bad. I really just want it to be summer when it is warm and light out for longer. The coldest part of our winter is also when the school year seems to drag or is the most tense and that takes a lot out of me. Also, I am by myself a lot of the time in the winter so if anything goes wrong it really sucks. My anxiety is an all-time high. I just wish it was fall all year long but I guess I picked the wrong province or country to live in.
