{memes} Seven Random Things, Part 8

[ariestess]

atfm gave me the following...

• Favorite song lyric? Only one? Hmm...
  Everybody tries to break my dreams to break through,
  They don't believe in my words, they don't believe in my world.
  "Oh you're lost in another world,
  Oh you're lost you Saturn Girl, oh you crazy girl,
  Oh you Saturn Girl"...
  -- Paula Cole, Saturn Girl
  
  
• Best part of the day? I really like when dusk fades into night. There's something about the power of the darkness of the night taking over that I really like.
  
  
• In terms of writing, what's something you haven't done yet but would like to try? Well, top of the list is being published. I had a couple of things published in fanzines/fanclub 'zines/newsletters in the past, but I'd like to try professional publication. Other than that, I'm not sure what I'd like to try that I haven't yet...
  
  
• Any dish you're *really* good at making? Avgolemono. I haven't needed a recipe since like the second time I made it, which was at least 6 years ago. I can make this in my sleep, and I've NEVER screwed up a batch yet. The only time it came close was when I almost put in too much lemon juice. But it's my favorite meal, and even a double or triple batch of the stuff [which is what I normally make] is lucky to last 36 hours in our household. It's one of the very best comfort food recipes I've ever made...
  
  
• If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? You know, I could list a lot of things that other people think I should change because they think it would make me happier/healthier/whatever. But I think the only thing I really want to change [and I'm working on it] is my negativity, both internal and external. I have too many tendencies that lead toward negativity, whether it's tearing myself down or doing so to others. Both are not good for the karma, and I've enough karma to deal with already, so I don't need to be adding to it.
  
  
• Do you have a favorite artwork? I am a HUGE fan of
  moonvoice's work. My default icon on Dreamwidth is her "Spotted Hyena as Totem" [see current icon]. Her "As Totem" series of pieces are incredible. Her "Wandsuna" series is evocative and really grabs you, sometimes in less than nice ways. Her "Australian Animal Oracle Deck" is so very beautiful and magical. When I have the money to do so [like when I win the lottery], I'll be sending a LOT of money her way, in that art patron kind of way. I'll want artwork from her, of course, but I'll also just send the money for her to be able to do her art and NOT worry about bills. End of story.
  
  
• What are your political views? I'm Green party all the way, and lean toward the environmental side of things. I suppose if I had to go with the bipartisan way of thinking, I'd lean closer to the Democrat side. That is my "backup" default setting when I don't have a Green choice.
