Artist/song you will never add to your playlist?
Given the speed with which I am changing, just about anything could end up in it. I won't even mention what travesties I'm listening to at the moment lol. I used to think I wouldn't listen to country, but there you go - listening to Joan Baez a lot lately and many of her songs are borderline-country, and she touches my heart.
What do you hate about yourself?
One of the things I hate about myself if usually my skin. Since I've been two weeks old I've had extremely dry skin and atopic eczema. Most people don't have to consciously assess their skin daily but I do. I need to moisturize because otherwise my skin becomes flakey. I am quite sensitive about this topic actually, see, it is quite psychosomatic - my mind in stress or anxiety influences the quality of my skin and vice versa. Also one thing becomes more prominent - I produce more dust than others, dust consists mostly of dead skin cells. I quite like that, thinking of myself as a virile producer of dust. And CO2.
What is your least favourite thing about humanity?
Oh there are so many it is hard to actually pick one. I just hate this dreadful anthropocentrism going on. Like, I understand that it is inevitable - every species for its own - but our thinking rarely leaves the solely human interface, yet there are so many things that reach so far over our understanding and thinking, and it seems like there's just no empathy towards the organisms that are not the animals calling themselves 'humans'.
