1. What's on your bedside table?

   A lamp, a jar of bookmarks, a selection of science fiction, 
   fantasy, and philosophy, and a box of dicks, large.

2. Five items you "can't" live without.

   - Laptop (because I'm a writer).
   - First aid kit, because I'm a packrat who used to be a 
     DM [dungeon master].
   - Something for music: phone, TV, CD player.
   - Something to read, usually some kind of science fiction,
     fantasy, or social work-related nonsense.
   - A necklace.

3. What are some words or phrases specific to where you live?

   As in, where I live, or where I'm from? I'm going to go 
   with where I'm from because Damn. I mean, I still don't 
   understand what fussin means so I can't claim Kentucky.

   Coon huntin. That dog don't hunt. If bullfrogs had wings 
   they wouldn't bump their ass every time they jump. Useta 
   could ("I don't play guitar much but I usedta could.")
   
   Whenever I was five--I *still* tell time in stories that 
   way. Y'haven't changed a lick ("You look good Leslie!"
   "And y'haven't changed a lick"). 

4. What are your healthiest habits?

   Regular masturbation, tea as meditation, exquisite sleep 
   hygeine, and I keep a gratitude journal. That's all I got.

5. What are the rewarding aspects of your job?

   You're not putting my last name on this? Good.

   Going in every day to a place I couldn't leave of my own 
   volition and helping other people get out of it.

   Smiling at people who don't get a lot of smiles in their 
   lives, and when they genuinely smile back.

   Engaging with administration even when it's frustrating,
   and giving a voice to staff and patients who don't get 
   that voice otherwise.
