I was tagged and felt oddly compelled to go along with it

Feb 08, 2009 20:09

I think this is meant to be done with pictures and text but I'm not THAT compelled... Anyhoo

a. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

b. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

1. Where did your LJ handle come from?
It's a reference to Dune and it's misspelled. It's supposed to be Arrakeen with two R's.

2. If you could live in any book, which would it be?
The Hobbit. But Stranger in a Strange Land is a close second.

3. What is making you happy right now?
My darling lover just made me delicious vegan breakfast burritos and is now working on a painting for me in my living room. I've never met someone so completely happy to be devoted to me.

4. What are you currently reading?

Chaim Potok's The Gift of Asher Lev. It's the sequel to My Name is Asher Lev and I adore it. I adore everything I've ever read of his though. He's my favorite author. I can't believe Jake hasn't read anything of his yet. Tsk Tsk!

5. Do you need music to study/write?
I cannot ever study with music on and I can rarely write with it on either. But for painting it is essential.

6. Of all the people in your life, who is the one person you've lost touch with that you wish you hadn't?
I haven't completely lost touch with anyone dear to be but many people aren't nearly as close as I'd like them to be. Several of those people I have tagged.

7.Do you have any talents that you wish you did NOT have?
I have an amazing knack for finding long buried weaknesses in my male companions and pulling them to the surface. Every close male friend, boyfriend, and a few random acquaintances who was the sort of guy that NO ONE sees cry, I've seen them break down and bawl like a little girl with a skinned knee. I make grown men weep and it's not by trying or by doing anything particularly cruel. I guess I just catch a glimpse behind their mask and point it out, sometimes I don't even have to do anything. It scares me. Something seems inherently wrong about it. All the grown men and boys I've held sobbing and (temporarily) broken in my arms.

8. If you could have any super power, what would it be?
Anyone who knows me knows that I would want to breathe under water. I want gills. I want to live in the ocean or a lake.

9. What is your favorite movie genre?
Is 80's fantasy a genre?

10. What was the last thing you ate today?
Breakfast burritos with tofu and potatoes.

11. What is your favorite color?
Pink, but I adore black and grey.

12. What's the greatest thing someone has done for you?
Someone helped me to realize how much my life is worth and to start the process of loving myself. I can never thank this person enough for it and sadly, I can't seem to return the favor either.

13. What's your favorite food?

I would normally say pot roast but I'm giving up meat soon so now i can only list random things. Potatoes, water chestnuts, guava fruit, smoothies.

14. Which languages do you wish you spoke?
I wish I was fluent in Latin and Japanese.

15. What is your biggest pet peeve?
People being too lazy to do little things that they just ought to do. Things that when not done tend to ruin other people's days. Like picking up their dog's shit when they walk their dogs. Or failing to throw things into a trashcan no matter how close they are to it.

16. Do you have a birthmark?
I used to have a little cluster of veins that was shaped like a lizard but Dave covers it up now. If I'm out in the sun you can kind of still see the splotches on my feet I've had since childhood but good luck having that happen.

17. If you were a mythological creature, what would you be?
A cilophyte or cecaelia (or for anyone too lazy to look that up just picture Ursula)

18. Where would you like your next holiday to be?
Canada or... Cat's house!

19. Who would play you in a movie?
I'm narcissistic, I'd like to play myself.

20. Tell me something you love about the person who tagged you.
Our shared love of DUNE.
