Wow, you’re fast. I hadn’t even given @sinesalvatorem the ping she wanted next time I posted an ask meme. (I couldn’t do it in the post itself because you can’t do pings on chat posts.)
47. What is your most expensive piece of clothing?
Not counting jewellery (besides, I have no idea how much any of my jewellery cost because it was all given to me by other people*), I think my winter coat? USD**$100 might have been the cost before the substantial sale it was on, though; I’ve had it for a few years, so I don’t recall exactly. The final cost might have been as low as $50.
(I don’t really go in for fashion or indeed aesthetics in general, so I never treat myself to fancy clothes because it wouldn’t be a treat.)
90. What makes you angry?
(no, brain, this is not a trick question to suss out whether you have Appropriate Emotional Responses, Kelsey would not do that)
People being wrong, On The Internet or otherwise. Even if it’s an honest mistake and they couldn’t have known any better, I still feel angry to some extent, though I try harder not to show it.
94. What are your strengths?
I’m pretty good at figuring out what my personal quirks are and ways of working around them, exploiting them, or just plain living with them. (As I recall, the example I used last time I was talking about this was knowing exactly how many new books I need to binge on in order to develop a special interest in the series: four. If I don’t want a special interest in a particular series, I can usually*** avoid it by limiting my book consumption during the first read-through; if I do want it, I have a benchmark to aim for.)
*Unless you count my (digital but non-smart) wristwatch, which I bought for $20.
**I bought it during a trip to America.
***Some series have a “love at first sight” thing, and those only take one book, but I can tell in advance which ones those are.
