15. Sci-fi and fantasy (books/TV/film), yes or no?
Yes. All of the both. My favorite genre is sci-fantasy, fantasy and sci-fi. (I'm online because I can't find anyone offline who loves it.)
16. Do you know how to knit? Even if you don’t – do you own anything hand-knitted?
Yes. I suck at it - because I can't count to save my life. But I've knitted a blanket, a few clumsy scarves, and a few clumsy hats. I don't follow patterns - they don't make any sense to me. I can't read them. I just play.
I'm an intuitive artist.
And yes, I own knitted items, two throws, one by me, one by my church, and several scarves and hats.
17. Have you ever seen a ventriloquist act?
In person? I don't know. On TV, yes.

Books
Finished We Used to Live Here by...Marcus Kilewer
It reminded me a lot of Jordan Peele's horror films - specifically "Us". Also Shutter Island, The Prisoner, and various films and books dealing with the concept of altered realities, or parallel realities. It's also a...book that will thrill folks who like puzzles and minute, seemingly random details. (It's a nerdy book.) I was bored by it for the most part, and had difficulty understanding why folks loved it.
It's okay. ( vague spoilers )
Now I'm reading a science fiction novel - "Rules of Redemption by T. A. White". So far so good - the protagonist, Kira, is scavenging alien war vessels for parts, with her drone companion, Jin. I'm not sure where it goes from there - as of yet.
And on audio - "Sanctuary" - Roman focused novel by Illona Andrews in the world of Kate Daniels. It's about a dark volv priest, with a lot of Eastern European mythology.
I've decided to break from Horror for a bit - I'm anxious enough at the moment, don't require help. Although the last two horror novels I read, had massive pacing issues, not helped by unlikable characters. I got irritated and bored by both. So dumping that genre and jumping back into urban fantasy and science fiction.
