And its just me and all the memories to follow
First meme gakked from amand_r, second gakked from turps33, third from everyone, but mostly crowgirl13
1. Name: Tehila (no. really.)
2. Birthday: July 15. Let's acknowledge that I just got over one million years of issues to type in that information.
3. Where do you live: Boston, for another 21 days.
4: What are you studying/What are you working as: Atm, I babysit five members of a University faculty. I love them, even when I want to kill them, for truthsies.
5. What makes you happy: I'm working on figuring this out. I used to know, but it's been an interesting year. Snuggling with my friends does, that's a pretty sure bet. When a story is coming along easily. Finding a story that hits the right spot.
6. What are you listening to now/have listened to last: Nothing at the moment, but I've had Dar William's "What do I hear in these sounds?" stuck in my head all morning. If that's not commentary, man.
7. What is particularly good/bad about my LJ: (in reference to amand_r) You and the other ho-women saved my life by being funny ten years ago. Every time I laugh at something in your journal, I'm reminded of that. Plus, I really like seeing the bebe.
8. An interesting fact about you: This is always such a weird one to answer. How do I know what's interesting about me, I live inside my own head. Um, people seem to find it funny that my favorite dogs are bigger than I am.
9. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment: Nope.
10. Favorite place to be: Hard to say. In a larger sense? New York City, almost any part. In a smaller sense? My friend's couch.
11. Favorite lyric: "I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches call it home."
12. Best time of the year: Autumn. Especially up here or in the midwest, where the leaves change and the promise of real winter is in the air and I feel safe outside again.
13. Weirdest food you like: Hm. Again, hard question, since clearly I don't think it's weird. I don't like French Toast. Lots of people seem to find that weird. Nor do I like Kugel, which officially makes me Not A Jew. Oh! But I like unsweetened kugel, which most people find weird given my distaste for normal kugel. Yeah, I know, that doesn't really count. Go with it.
RECOMMEND
1. A film: Hm, I don't watch many movies. And it sort of depends on what I'm looking for out of a movie? I guess I'm going with the original The Day the Earth Stood Still. I'm not a huge early sci-fi girl, but that movie is so incredible in what it says about humanity and it's hope. I love it.
2. A book: I just finished Transformation by Carol Berg, and if you're into fantasy at all, I really can't recommend it highly enough. Fantastic world building, great characters, everything you could possibly want from a quality fantasy novel.
3. A song: I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono, by Dar Williams. (Um, honestly, anything by her.)
4: A band: Enter the Haggis
PLUS
1. One thing you like about me: Again, in relation to amand_r. I think you need a change. I think you're smart in all these ways you never acknowledge. I think I'm grateful for every day when we say stupid things to each other.
2. Two things you like about yourself: Funnily enough, recently two different friends have told me things that I actually believe, which is new and fun. So, 1) I am a good listener in that I actually listen to what other people are saying and try to help based on that, and 2) I have a knack for making my friends feel special and valuable--as they are.
3. Put this in your lj so I can tell you what I think of you?
1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.
2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks-and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.
