what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime? I spent a lot of my childhood listening to Loreena McKennitt and Gordon Lightfoot. Myths and legends and rambler’s songs and bits of poetry from history – not exactly surprising I turned into a historian, is it?

dog person or cat person? – Both! I love animals (or at least most animals. big scaly things can fuck right off).

what’s your patronus? – According to Pottermore, a grey squirrel. Which, I mean – ok? I like squirrels, I guess – we have a crazy one I call Weird Larry that licks the paint off my porch and another where I work called Splat because that’s what’s going to happen to him if he doesn’t stop playing in the road. If I had to choose, though – I really love crows and other large birds a lot, so probably something rather more airborne.

which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle? Again, Pottermore claims I’d be a Ravenclaw and on a good day I guess that’s true but try me on a bad and I’m more of a Slytherin.
