Frivolity!
I have been a good girl and very productive. And so I am treating myself to a meme.
Gakked from pulsarkat, who always has all the good memes.
Age?: 25. I almost typed 26. I always forget how old I am.
Best friends?: My best friend is Bobby; next is my sister Sharon. I don't really have anyone in my offline life at the moment whom I would consider a best friend otherwise.
Choice of meat?: None! I'm a vegetarian for nearly thirteen years now.
Dream date?: Honestly, my favorite dates are when Bobby and I have a wonderful dinner and go see a movie together that gets us thinking and talking.
Exciting adventure?: Scuba diving with sand tiger sharks. I haven't done it ... yet.
Favorite food?: Mexican food! Mexican food doesn't suffer long in my presence. My favorite Mexican lately is chili rellenos. *yum*
Greatest accomplishment?: Hmm ... I don't feel that I've accomplished anything truly great yet. Honestly, I feel the most valuable when someone reads one of my stories and comes away moved or changed in a way that they otherwise would not have been. Ask me again in five years. :)
Happiest day of your life?: 31 May 1996. Bobby and I became more than friends. It changed my life.
Interests?: Pandora's box much? Writing, first and foremost. Reading, Tolkien, painting, science, scuba diving (if I ever finish my bloody certification ...), movies, dog training, candymaking, getting on a soapbox about anything and nothing ...
Jell-O?: Preferably none. Technically, I'm not supposed to have it because it has gelatin in it (which can be derived from boiled animal bones, ligaments, and tendons). My grandmother used to make this stuff called Jell-O 1-2-3 that was in three layers ... I loved that, though not so much the iggly-wiggly part that was actual Jell-O.
Kool aid?: Preferably none, again. Let's just say that I tend not to like sugary foods in liquid, solid, or semi-solid form!
Love?: Bobby. Then my family, friends, and Alex.
Most valued trinket?: Does my pet unicorn Nelyo count as a trinket? Probably not. I guess my rings, then, that Bobby gave me.
Name?: Dawn. Dawn Felagund to the online world.
Outfit you wore today?: Long-sleeved black V-neck shirt underneath a pink-and-black leopard/giraffe-print spaghetti-strap shirt. Khaki cargo pants that Bobby calls my "booty pants" because they're snug in the bump. Red and white Adidas sneakers. Opal pendant and two beaded necklaces. Wedding/love jewelry.
Piercings?: I have two holes in my earlobes but can no longer wear earrings thanks to my blood/injury phobia.
Question most asked?: Seriously, I think it's probably, "Dawn, can you run a 10-28?" (That's a driving record check.)
Radio station?: None, if I can help it. I prefer to listen to my iPod. Chatty DJs and obnoxious adverts annoy me.
Sport?: Freestyle rollerskating is my favorite sport to do (if one counts it as a sport). American football is my favorite sport to watch.
Television show?: I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do enjoy Lost (though I've only seen halfway through Season Two) and Ghost Hunters. My favorite channel is Animal Planet ... I can watch (and enjoy) just about anything on Animal Planet.
Ur favorite song?: At the moment ... "Clocks" by Coldplay. "Blood Tears" and "The Time Stands Still on the Iron Hill" by Blind Guardian. Several songs from the LotR soundtracks. "Hazard" by Richard Marx. Always "These Dreams" by Heart and "Southern Cross" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash (my two theme songs!)
Where do you live?: Ellicott City, Maryland, USA in an overpriced, one-bedroom apartment with a Man, Dog, and many Elves.
Xyz?: One of my favorite songs by The Smashing Pumpkins is "XYU," particularly the line, "I am made of shamrocks / I am made of stern stuff."
Year born?: 1981 (isn't this somewhat redundant with Question One?)
Zodiac sign?: Virgo the Virgin (why do my mom and Bobby always laugh at that? *snicker*)
