Partially domesticated woodland creature.
Handicrafts, histoire de Midi-Pyrénées, finding a really nice rock, rpgs, opera, soup-making, ancient Near Eastern archaeology, comfortable seating & an extensive tea menu.
Being prone to falling apart when people are kind is awkward as hell in the ordinary course of things, but when it's coworkers messaging/calling in response to your goodbye email...

A bunch, but the most normal probably was: shared a bench with Bill Nighy (and very calmly pretended to read my book while he discussed an upcoming theatre role with the director and his agent) while taking myself out for a solo birthday dinner in NYC, several years back
