I've never eaten a salad in my life, and I am, in fact, proud of this

HI! Im Alexa, or slug.

Heres nearly everything important and useless about me, because I love to overshare. (that is important.)

- I use she/they pronouns.

I am from Southern CA!

The Mojave desert in CA! I grew up in LA (I am an actual "valley girl"!) but I live in Joshua Tree at the moment. My family has a farm!

I had pet rats my entire life. I adore rats.

My rat pancake died recently :( (also my numbering is off)

1. I used to be an emo kid.

2. I also used to be a cosplayer (?)

3. I have never had a salad. I won't ever. Wet leaves?

4. My favorite musical artist is Mitski.

Before she deleted all social media, she reposted this photo I took of her at her Mass Moca concert. I wasn't even going - a friend gave me her ticket that she also was gifted. had I not gone, I don't know what I would have done. She is my absolute favorite.

- my favorite movie ever is The talented Mr. Ripley

1. My favorite food is sushi, I will eat nearly all kinds without question. That's the only food I will do that with.

2. I haven't had my natural hair color since 2017

3. I used to collect Snapple caps.

4. I prefer margarine to butter.

5. Until today, I had never taken out my belly button ring? (again, since the pivotal year of 2017)

6. My favorite color is periwinkle, I have a tattoo of the flower it comes from. A pal who graduated from Williams did it for free because it was used as an ingredient in the type of chemotherapy she had undergone. (kinda sweet)

7. I've never finished high school musical

• I only read all the john green books -some were signed copies- because my best friend was a super fan. I actually despise him and believe he brainwashed a huge generation of impressionable young people into general neoliberal centrism to sell his books, of which my friend bought all of and then some. (this has been on my mind since the last meeting)

1. I have never finished reading harry potter. I got bored when they started literally prosecuting the main character for weird stuff. Why?

2. I miraculously became a morning person after quarantine. total accident. wake up at 5 am every day. NO reason.

3. I accidentally became a minor internet celebrity over the summer- I will. be in an episode of a history channel show in January! Being on tv is actually not all that fun- Ted from A&E networks calls me at random times and leaves passive-aggressive messages because I am very bad at answering my phone. I almost uploaded something random to the Lifetime Holiday Movie folder last week. I wanted to ** very badly.

Im gonna brag for a minor second because I'm quite proud: History Channel (A&E networks apparently) mailed me and my friend filming equipment and then interviewed us through zoom about a viral video we made. It has about 3.5 million views at the moment and stays my most-watched video to this day. Every week, the comments I get on it change the language. This week it was Italian, so I believe it's making the rounds in Italy now. at one point this summer it was Germany, and also Russia. We were the first line of an NYT article, in the daily mail, on a bunch of random youtube channels in a few different languages, a few podcasts, interviewed by PAPER, and so now TV!

1. My lucky number is 8!

2. I am a Pisces! Textbook Pisces. I share a birthday with Osama bin laden, and it is speculated that Harriet Tubman may have been born this day (she for sure died nearing this) as well? chaotic combo. Also the guy from madmen too. Mr. Hamm.

3. This is one of my favorite videos in the history of videos, I return to it once a year to refresh my memory, Please watch it PLEASE.

I will answer the other questions another time. in my style, I have done my best at doing nothing that was asked of me correctly, but hopefully entertaining you all along the way! I linked this photo with the channel "rat reviews" which is where Lenny and his plate reside. It's an amazing channel, I highly recommend the 10-hour rat snuggles video.

This is the link to the video, you might recognize the dog as the "little Russian lady" dog from the vine. This is her best work:
