Ten days meme: days four to ten.
Remember that ten days meme thing that died on its arse? It's really about time I finished it. So here're the last seven days, under a cut to avoid butchering your flists.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
1. Writing -- by which I mean things I'm working on, things I've read, things I wish I was reading, awesome phrases/words I like the sound of and plan to use, characters that rock my world. (Extension of this: anything weird, gross, interesting, or funny that happens to me over the course of a day inevitably ends up sliced into a story somewhere. It's just one of those things.)
2. Gender theory: how I'm being gendered, how I want to be gendered, vague thoughts on transgenderism and transsexuality, and usually a morning moment of swearing when I'm wrestling into a binder.
3. My daily to-do list.
4. Moving to the States. (Only six months to go!)
5. My friends, family, special people etc -- wondering how they're doing, what they're up to, etc. Usually because I've been appalling at staying in touch.
6. An awareness of the vast, weird, brilliant, bizarre, totally nonsensical coolness of the universe around me. (Occasionally subverted by a bad day, when it all becomes 'HOW IS THIS MY LIFE?')
7. Pretty people, 'cos I'm shallow.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
1. Maxed out my overdraft in university. If I'd saved my cash I'd've been able to move to the States last year.
2. Stayed in care work as long as I did. I was half a wreck by the end of it, and I'm still putting myself back together.
3. Taken Biology and Chemistry at A-level. I thought I wanted to be a vet, but now I wish I'd gone with English Lit and Art or Drama instead.
4. Been such a shit to my little brother when we were teenagers. Sure, I was dealing with my own issues, but I could have helped him out a whole lot more.
5. I wish I'd been brave enough to get into a relationship or two when I was a teenager. I kind of missed out, there.
6. Hell, I wish I'd been braver generally.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
I'm gonna nix this question. Five isn't enough, and I don't want to hurt feelings.
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
1. Smelly folk. I have a sensitive nose; I like my people clean.
2. People who don't try.
3. Meanness, narrow-mindedness, bigotry, etc.
4. Clingy, whiny, spongy, little-kiddy behaviour. Very annoying, very energy-draining.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
1. Integrity.
2. Strength.
3. Kindness.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
1. =_=
2. \o/
(Exhausted, but getting happy. *laughs*)
Day Ten: One confession
I still haven't figured out, properly and completely, which gender -- if any -- I am truly attracted to. Or what kind of person. I've always assumed that one day it's going to hit me and I'll know, but I'm twenty-three and it hasn't yet.
But hey, it's not like I'm running a race. There's still plenty of time. :D
