Haha, I’m mostly kidding. I do have a good amount of forest nearby. No mountains for hundreds of miles, unfortunately. I dug a koi pond last year, though!

Tip for Mac users: the built-in keyboard replacements tool is great. You can use it to get text-to-emoji replacement on essentially any text field (unless the developer has done something truly foul—looking at you, Gmail compose field). E.g., I type :hoot to get the owl emoji.
