I am Alissa Elliott.
Things I like include:
o Reading books about history or politics.
o Reading books in which Count Olaf or Voldemort play a central role.
o Reading books that often appear on "Top 100 Books of All Time" or "25 Books You Should Read Before You Die."
o Neat and tidy filing systems.
o Quiet conversation.
o Things that are much smaller than you'd expect (like quails' eggs).
o Things that are much larger than you'd expect (like supersize Pocky).
o Produce from the Pacific Northwest.
o Veggie Medleys, which used to be known as Veggie Baggies and are individual-sized servings of chopped raw vegetables (usually including: purple cabbage, red peppers, carrots, snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, and olives, and sometimes including fennel or jicama or baby corn).
o Feeding people.
o Reading on the bus.
o Watching television.
o Coming home after work.
o Driving over bridges, watching movies about bridges, talking about bridge design and construction, anecdotes about bridges, bridge trivia, and bridge engineers.
o The theory of everything, and the search for it, which means everything from Maxwell to Einstein to superstrings, even though I don't understand a bit of it beyond the most amateurish level.
o Persian things, especially books and also Farsi, which I can say about four sentences in. I'm looking to increase that number substantially.
o US Marine Corps, because they are the first in, last out, and the baddest and handsomest of all the services.
o Sleeping thirteen hours a night. (Not really: that's an exaggeration, but also an ambition.)
