I'm in the band yo!
Several things before I begin. If you haven't seen Penelope, you must. It's an adorable film, with just the right amount of charm and wit and fairy tale. And also two Doctor Who links, that I was able to see at least. Burn Gorman and Shaun Parkes are both in it. Burn is Larry a newspaper guy with no accent, and Shaun is a paparazzi towards the end. Also one of the few without an accent. It's an adorable movie and Christina Ricci and James MacAvoy were darling.
Second I am now in the know, I get what the Dr. Horrible thing y'all are talking about is, and will likely try and catch that later.
The movie 2ge+her is on YOUTUBE! OMG! This movie brings back some serious memories, I used to know this movie by heart dude. I was trapped in that fat guy suit. Micky p gots to do what Micky P's gots ta do. OMG!
Also, thank you all for being my friends and putting up with me during this intense part of my life. I can't imagine trying to live my life without you guys.
I have to thank becky_monster for the beautiful fic she wrote and dedicated to me. A very cute NCIS fic with Abby and Ducky talking about Doctor Who and Gibbs. And it can be found here. Thank you sweetie, it's more than just the story, the fact that you wrote it, and you're thinking of me. Means the world to me.
And now for something totally different...

1. How has LJ changed your life?
It has changed my life in more ways than I can count. I have met friends from all over the world. I got to go FanFest two years in a row with peeps I met on here. I've read the greatest fic, and shared life's ups and downs with the greatest people in the world.
2. What do you do before bedtime?
Nowadays I'm writing in my journal, or talking to Sal to help me fall asleep.
3. What are you doing this weekend?
Laundry, cat boxes, grocery shopping, co-worker's kid birthday party, movies and a bit of writing finally. Then work on Sunday.
4. What is the city of your dreams and why?
London. I have such romantic ideals of it in my head and I've always wanted to go. One day.
5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
A bit of both, now especially.
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
I thought I knew this answer until the day my mom died. It doesn't matter at all if you ever love someone the way you think you should. If someone loves you the way you want to love and shows you how, then it's better to be loved. And certainly if you love and lose it? it's so much better than never loving at all. Love in any shape is a blessing, your mom, your friends, your family. Just let love happen.
7. Do you trust easily?
No because I don't believe anything any one tells me, unless I've known you a bit.
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
I'm actually with the person I love, so I guess I'm lucky in that respect.
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Losing my mom. Worst thing I've ever lived through. I miss her every day and each day is a struggle. Work is another factor that is making life hard.
10. What is your best quality? I am a very loving and loyal friend.
11. Is being tagged fun?
Yes and no.
12. How do you see yourself?
A mess. Lonely and sad right now. But an absolute mess.
13. Who are currently the most important people to you?
My family, friends (online and IRL) my mom's cats and Teegan, Sal, and my work friends.
14. What kind of person do you think the person from whom you picked up the meme is?
A very talented writer, who does a beautiful job of mixing what really happened on the show, with what really happened in our hearts.
15. What would you do if you won the lottery?
I would buy my own home. Outright. Decorate it, with an office for writing. Send Jennie, Sarah, Chrissy, Sara and I to FanFest this year, pay off my bills, and Sal's and then go to Disneyland for Christmas and buy everything Tigger and Beauty and the Beast in sight.
15A. Would you rather be in a happy marriage and poor or a bad marriage and rich?
Happy and Poor. I've been poor most of my life, but was rich with strength and my mother's love.
16. How many children do you want to have, if any?
I don't want any. I haven't in years. I would like someone to carry on my mother's ideals and things, but I'm not planning on actually actively having any.
17. What question do you want to know the answer to?
Am I gonna see my momma again?
18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
I wouldn't chose between the two, I'd walk.
19. Would you have 100% safe sex with a stranger for $10,000,000?
Yeah. I would. I'd pay off all my bills, and the rest would go towards a home for myself so I never have to move, and so that my mom's cats are safe for life.
20. What were your parents going to name you if you'd been born the opposite gender? Kenneth Austin.
