Name: Loran
Zine(s) you write: I change the title of my zine almost every issue. My latest is entitled I Keep Interrupting Myself and the one I’m currently writing is going to be called The Occasional Journal of Pointless Meanderings, which is a title I like enough that I may keep for a few issues.
Share a fun fact about yourself.
When I discover a new restaurant that I like, I will systematically order each item on the menu, until I’ve eaten everything they serve, before deciding what my “usual” is going to be.
What is your favorite quote?
“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do you collect anything?
I love collecting, but exactly what I collect changes fairly regularly (with the sole exception of sales tax tokens). I like to collect something and learn about it, and when I have acquired a decent collection, I get rid of it and start collecting something new that I don’t know anything about. It’s the act of collecting that I enjoy more than the collection itself, plus this just makes it easier to move when I relocate. Perhaps one day if I own a house my future collections will find a permanent home.
What is your favorite childhood book?
It was about dinosaurs, but I don’t remember the name of it. I read it so much that I had the book memorized, and I would wander around the house reciting it out loud to myself. It was that book that caused me to decide at an early age that my favorite dinosaur was the Ankylosaurus, possibly because it was short and fat and low to the ground, like our English bulldog.
What are you afraid of?
Dying alone. That and old people who think that you want to hear all of their medical procedures described in great detail.
