Short answer: Yes.
Read. Write. Take walks. Listen to audiobooks. Do 1000-piece puzzles.
Yes. I have seen about 8 episodes. It was okay. I appreciate that it has generated some interest in Chemistry. It's not exactly a paragon of truth about the subject (or chem teachers) though.
I was born in S. Korea, raised in central NJ.
Spaghetti with meat sauce.
Favorite show changes. I enjoyed Criminal Minds.
For reading or writing, I am a little all over the place: scifi, fantasy, mystery, thriller. Mostly YA stuff.
I can go either way on this. I enjoy Stash peppermint, loose leaf peppermint, and some berry flavored teas. Lady Grey also tastes amazing, but I don't think it likes me.
My interest in sports has waned over the years. I did play soccer and softball in high school, but my interests flipped to writing in college.
I believe the actual writing part started with a rebellion of sorts against literature classes and the need to deeply analyze everything, but it probably started way back with loving stories as a small child. It started with a love of reading and stories in general.
