More Questions
I'm feeling a little better prepared for my next round of job searching and have some ideas. Also I signed up for a shift tomorrow morning but it's good for me as I need to sleep more and have a book to return. This way I can be on campus, get up early and then wander around museums and do fun stuff like that.
Currently I have various RP ideas for EPs and threads and OOMs but I'm moving slowly on them as I don't have to rush, which is lovely.
And now for another round of questions from
crazyfurries. If you'd like questions, comment and let me know.
1. What is your favorite book series?
This is an incredibly hard question so I'm going to cheat and give you the three I reread the most and make them into categories. All of these series, I have a hard time rereading just one as the worlds pull me in so deeply.
Favorite mystery series is the Ngaio Marsh Inspector Alleyn mysteries
Favorite science fictionish-Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold
Favorite fantasy-Diana Wynne Jones tied between the Magid and Chrestomanci books
2. What got you into drinking tea?
I've never really liked coffee even though the rest of my family adores it, but my mother also drinks tea. So it's been something that I like but it didn't become my drink until I lived in New Zealand. There I could get a pot of tea with my lunch at a cafe for 3.50 and it would be tasty and I was hooked.
3. What teas do you currently have and why do you have or like them.
I have two cupboards worth of tea in my kitchen, so I'm going to simplify this to my current favorite teas.
Yorkshire Gold-an English black tea blend that is my daily tea, it wakes me up and is complex and delicious
Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Camomile-this is my going to bed tea and one I drink when I'm feeling tired and sick.
Earl Grey-this is the tea I order the most when I'm out. I didn't used to like it but I like how its light and sort of fruity.
4. Favorite Milliways moment to date and why.
Oh this is another really hard one. I'm going to cheat and say the Allpocalypse here but the entire Orannis plot with Sameth was probably the one I'm most proud of. We've been working through canon for a long time and it all came together in a fantastic way. That particular plot to me was a lot of why I love Milliways. If it hadn't been for Yrael, I wouldn't have read canon and apped Sameth and gotten to know Saph, Aspen and Amy even better. Then through playing Sameth, I was able to tease out forgotten strands of canon and finally, we capped it all during the Allpocalypse.
5. You have a big happy labrador charging at you, what do you do?
Brace myself and say the dog's name and down. Growing up one of my very best friends had dogs that liked to jump, so I got good at being firm at them.
6. If you could spend a week anywhere for vacation, where would YOU go and why. (yes I know it's a reflection but honest curiousity!!)
I think at this exact moment, my choice would be a week in New York City hanging out with Milliways' muns there and refreshing myself with art and walking. It's been too long since I've been to New York City and that city and the people living there make me feel alive.
7. Any animated movies that you adore?
Oh yes, I grew up in the '90s with Disney and have a huge amount of love for Aladdin, Mulan, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast. In terms of newer movies, Howl's Moving Castle as seeing it in New Zealand helped me to rediscover Diana Wynne Jones' works and Up spring to mind. Cars as well though I haven't rewatched it a lot. When it came out I was in New Zealand and it was such an American movie that it made me homesick, so it means a lot to me.
