41 Questions meme
It's been a very long time since I actually answered one of these memes, so I'll try my hand at this and give the ネタ tag a workout.
1. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER SOMEONE?
I have my father's first name as my middle name, but my first name was chosen on the basis of it being hard to make a nickname out of.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I shed a single tear, shining like a jewel, when I read the scene where Théoden dies and Éowyn kills the Witch-King of Angmar to softlykarou the weekend before last.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
I block-print everything because my handwriting is illegible.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Mostly raw steak.
5. DO YOU HAVE ANY KIDS?
At the moment, no.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS W/YOU?
That depends on what person I was, doesn't it? Unless this is about whether if I were another person with the same personality, in which case...maybe.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Sometimes. I tend to be fairly serious in speech if not in writing.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
I do.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE?
I would not.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
I don't eat cereal, but if you forced me, maybe grape nuts.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
They don't come off if I don't.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE STRONG?
In some ways.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Vanilla, with salted caramel a close second. That's usually vanilla with something in it, though, like Irish creme or fresh fruit.
14. WHAT'S THE 1ST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT SOMEONE?
Their hair.
15. RED OR PINK?
Red. Red like leaping flames, or my hair.
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF?
I had a really hard time coming up with the answer to this question, and I think the answer is my shyness. Maybe the reason I'm still so standoffish is that, in the end, I like myself that way.
