Rules of the meme
A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
1. How has LJ changed your life?
It got me entirely too obsessed with a TV show about an alien who is also a time traveler. No, seriously, before LJ, I was all, "Yeah, I like that Doctor Who. Rose and the Doctor are cute." After LJ, it was more, "DOCTOR WHO...eat...ROSE/TEN OTP FTW... breathe... DAVID TENNANT MMMM ...sleep..." I blame fanfic, picspams and fan vids, in that order.
2. What do you do before bedtime?
I unwind by reading (currently tackling "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe" )
3. What are you doing this weekend?
Going to a DW Series 4 finale party, with pretty awesome people. Alcohol will be drunk and RTD's name will be cursed to the heavens if the results are not satisfactory.
4. What is the city of your dreams and why?
Boston. It's everything that is awesome. Red Sox, all four seasons, the MFA, my favorite aunt and little cousins, and my best friend. Unfortunately, unless things drastically change, I'll be settling in Miami for the long haul.
5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Introvert, 100%. I can let loose when I'm in my element, like around friends or in front of a classroom full of students. But as soon as I get a wee bit uncomfortable, I clam up.
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Loving someone. I think if you don't have the ability to do that, you're a bit dead inside.
7. Do you trust easily?
Yes--to the point of naivete in some respects.
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Please. Move on. Few things hurt the sisterhood more than going after a man that's already attached. It's just...tacky.
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Well, EGT's going to yell at me for this one. The fact that I couldn't get summer employment due to my weird vacation schedule this year. I enjoyed my first week of sitting around the house with nothing to do, but I got mighty restless after that. I haven't had this much free time off since college, and I think I just don't have the constitution for sitting around watching hours of soaps and reruns like I used to.
10. What is your best quality?
I'm a straight-talker. I will tell you exactly what I think of any situation, and what I think is the best way to improve it, if you ask me.
11. Is being tagged fun?
Yes!
12. How do you see yourself?
Oh, God, I hate this question, yet I'm too tired to think of another one. Um, happy with my career, friends and family, but exasperated with my love life. Anyone out there with significant other you can stand for several hours at a time, hug them extra hard tonight, because there are some fools out there, y'all.
13. Who are currently the most important people to you?
My family.
14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
*whispers* A superspy.
15. What would you do if you won the lottery?
Pay off all of my debts, as well as my parents' and sisters'. Then I'd go to cooking schools in every country and learn their cuisine from scratch.
15A. Would you rather be in a happy marriage and poor or a bad marriage and rich?
Happy and poor. Money can't buy happiness.
16. How many children do you want to have, if any?
Three, but I suspect that's because I grew up in a family with three kids.
17. What question do you want to know the answer to?
Will my parents ever get their act together?
18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
I'm going to go with the one who loves me more.
19. Would you have 100% safe sex with a stranger for $10,000,000?
Uh, yeah. Is that whorish of me? Maybe, but I'm okay with it.
20. What were your parents going to name you if you'd been born the opposite gender?
You know, they never told me.
Now every person that I know's already been tagged, so if you see this and you like it, go ahead.
