Q&A

 1)ANY TV RECOMMENDATIONS?

    I almost never watch regular tv anymore. I watch the news on the rare occasion. However, I am addicted to British Crime Dramas. They are 100% better than any USA version. And as always, I scour the internet tubes for documentaries. There’s a really interesting one on Hulu called “Most dangerous animal of them all” long story short, a man who was adopted comes to believe that his bio father was the Zodiac Killer. It’s a crazy ride. A serious but can’t help but be cheesy doc on Hulu is brand new and it’s called Sasquatch. What interests me is that it’s connected to a Netflix doc called Murder Mountain which is the story of parents whose son went missing in the Northern California mountains and delves into this crazy rollercoaster of the people that live there and actually produce 80% of the country’s Cannabis. It’s so dangerous that the police won’t even go to investigate murders which suits the population just fine. They don’t need cops... if you get my drift. I could spend all day telling you about docs that range from The Met Ball to Octopus to True Crime and everything in between. I am the partner you want when you play Trivial Pursuit!!

2) this comes up a lot DO YOU STILL LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE?

Yes, and here’s a big reason why. I got rid of all the knick knacks and “art” and decor that’s supposed to decorate a grown up’s home but it has no meaning to me. No connection at all and no feelings of happiness. Living in a loft allows me to be way more creative and use what makes me happy and has some kind of attachment for me. My own art is prominent throughout the loft and a quirky clock that I looked at for a year before I finally bought it figuring that if I still loved it then it was a good fit. I concentrate on fun art and it makes me feel calm. The weird shape of the place and ten foot ceilings allows for a lot of wall space. Bonus, the “Island” is magical with lights and people and feels like a movie set. I feel hugged by my surroundings. That def helps with the dark water.

3) DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF AN ARTIST?

  I love this question. The answer is...... What determines if you’re an artist? I’ve been paid for and have had articles published. Am I a writer? My art hangs in several buildings and offices of a University with its own art museum ( the first was my OM’s and then requests came in) Am I an artist? I feel like it’s pretentious to declare oneself an artist or writer or whatever. I write. I create art. 

4) HOW DID YOU AND ROBB MEET? I LOVE LISTENING TO YOU BOTH.

 Well, thank you 😊 We met through my spoopy channel. I’ve made a little community over there and I truly do appreciate that. Anyway, 4-5 years ago he asked if he could submit something to my channel. I welcomed that just as I do for anyone who asks. Anyway, we started sending messages back and forth through messenger and eventually the messages were too long to type so we’d send voice messages and then eventually we started calling because at least one of us is a Chatty Cathy :-) The whole thing was a fluke really, I just do not talk to people like that but, here we are, I’m literally the executor of his will. His girls call me Aunty Tracy and I tell him damn near everything. My entire family knows him and are grateful that he listens to my heart when I’m floating in dark water. Obviously he doesn’t replace my husband! But I’m glad that we stumbled upon each other. We are so fucking similar that it’s weird.

5) DO YOU FEEL OK TALKING ABOUT YOUR DEPRESSION ON YOUR BLOG?

It makes me nervous every single time. There’s a stigma that can come with admitting that you struggle with depression and anxiety. I worry about the judgement every time I mention it. I still mention it though so that other people can talk about it if they see more and more people being open about it.

Have to go. Luvs
