meme time
I was thinking about a more clever update (not that I ususally use LJ to show my cleverness), but I'm ending up doing this. Well, it can be very useful to get to know people some better, though.
Meme of the day:
Rules
01. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.
03. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
04. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
05. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

mems_derynicat:
1. What are your favorite Without a Trace episodes?
I'm sure that my first one is Showdown, then I guess Safe and Clare de lune, and then I'm undecided between Suspect and Off the tracks. How many shall I pick, cuz there's Silent partner on the waiting list?
2. Are there other fandoms that you follow (or followed) or just the one?
This is the deepest and strongest fandom I've had in so many years, since when I was a teenager. Just to answer, though, I'd mention The Empire strikes back and Han Solo. Some years later I had a strong pop-bands fandom that brought me to London for the first time. Shall I say who they were? *g*, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet... more specifically John Taylor and Gary Kemp.
3. What was your most embarassing moment?
This kind of questions always puzzles me, because I seem not to remember my own life anymore... oh, well, I'll go with an old one. My friends saw me when I gave my very first kiss, we were in a disco, and I was terribly embarassed cuz I was known as being very shy and... not fitting in the role of a random kisser.
4. What are your pet peeves?
When people smoke and puff the smoke on my face, or anyway don't pay attention to where the smoke goes.
When people use the cell when they are with me, if we are only the two of us.
Pedestrians not crossing on the zebra crossings.
Scooters... you should see the way they ride them here.
When people leave me hanging and waiting for them forever.
5. What is the farthest you've ever been from home?
California, San Francisco and LA, a lot of years ago. Yeah, I should get back there one of these days...

1) What's the one thing you wish you could write (in terms of fanfiction) but are afraid to try?
Two things, but I hope that time will give me more courage... They are: very kinky sex (I'm afraid to reveal my fantasies) and a long story, cuz I don't think I can do it.
2) What is the one thing (be it fanish or personal or professional) that you've done that you're most proud of?
They are two things. My graduation at university: a lot of sweat, a challenge with myself cuz I never end something that I started and I'm lazy to deepen things when they get challenging or downright difficult;
learning to swim, for very different reasons. I learnt it when I was grown up, after applying to a swimming-pool course, cuz as long as this depended on my family, they wouldn't let me do it (very Italian old style family... they were either afraid of water or that I could get ill. Oh if they knew I read and write slash!!).
3) Seriously, cheese or chocolate?
Seriously, how can you know? They are just my forbidden dreams... you can't imagine how fast I gain weight when I eat one of them. I love both... mhmm... oh s**t, let's say milk chocolate!!
4) What first drew you to the WaT fandom, more specifically, Danny and Martin?
Slashing them, or just being interested in them? Would it be easier if I just give the link to my posts about the matter? Danny , my OTP .
Okay, I'll try to be short. First there was their banter. I watched WaT from the Pilot and I was struck by their relationship, especially the night they aired Silent partner and Suspect in a row (and in this order). Then it came Clare de lune and I fell hopelessly in love with the only Danny. Then I found out Pretty FBI boys and was puzzled by strange manips and hints to gay topics... I loved the gay pride, but never thought to figure it out of a canon het pairing; then I started to take part in forums, then I met some people, then I started to read slash fanfic, cringing at the first one (just a fic where they didn't do anything more than embrace and brush together fully dressed, but I cringed), then... I can't really place when and how... but I'm sure that there was a seed and a small plant in me and
smilla02 and
nekosmuse watered it for months... it was sometimes last summer, after I graduated and was finally free to dedicate to the fandom all of my spare time, and there was that wonderful cliffhanger and... it went just higher and higher.
5) Any phobias?
Changing diapers to babies. It blocked me in a lot of ways.
True intimacy. It's not a phobia, cuz I'd love to be able to have it. I'm not talking about sex, here, but about the true intimacy, something much deeper.
