Drabble: first light, & Meme: Random 8
A LITTLE HOUSE/CUDDY-RELATED PIMPING:
speckleberry has started a House/Cuddy Drabble-a-thon at her community, which looks set to be lots of fun. I expect this is where any spare capacity I have for flailage will go for the next couple of weeks. It's been a month since I've written any proper fic, so this is just the thing to get me warmed up again before we get new episodes. :)
In fact, I've already drabbled! - first light

Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
01. I think I am genetically encoded to be a night person. If left to my own devices (i.e., if I didn't have to work), I'd ideally sleep at 4-6am in the morning and get up at 2-3pm in the afternoon. Seriously - dark-time is the best time for me. I HATE MORNINGS.
02. I'm also a terribly inconsiderate driver. I HATE SLOW DRIVERS WITH A FLAMING PASSION, and honk at them if they're not going fast enough for my liking - which is unfair, since I am usually breaking the speed limit. (60km/h?! WTH kind of speed limit is that?) One day I will get into an accident. I know this and yet I continue to drive like a raving lunatic.
03. In pretty much all the shows I've loved, I've always shipped canon. (I'm easy that way.) The exceptions being CJ/Toby on The West Wing and Ned/Olive on Pushing Daisies - though I'm not sure if I want Ned to actually be WITH Olive, so I don't know if that counts. (BTW, House/Cuddy is SO CANON. We are just waiting for our ship to get canon-ER, if you please.)
04. When I was a kid, I used to bring at least two books out with me everywhere I went, just in case I ran out of stuff to read and got totally bored with the company I was keeping. Even if there was no chance in hell that I'd finish the book I was reading at the time. Without fail - sometimes, three or four books. I'm more realistic these days, but have to have something with me to read all the time.
05. I have this thing for awesomely spunky, kickass female actresses, all of whom I'm still hoping to grow up to be. Lisa Edelstein, obviously, is one. But I've also fangirled GILLIAN ANDERSON, Allison Janney, Meryl Streep, Lauren Graham, Cate Blanchett, Megan Mullally, Felicity Huffman... the list goes on and on and on.
06. Wackiest and worst thing I've ever done for work? Stay awake for 36.5 hours straight, 22 of which were spent at work. A weekend I will never forget, as I was out for dinner before going to see Enchanted, and was told to get my butt back to work. Got there at almost 9pm Satuday night, and stayed 'til almost 7pm the next night. WIN? NO. VERY MUCH LOSE.
07. OMG. So Idina's official site was revamped today. I HAVE NOT STOPPED LISTENING TO THE THREE SONGS ON THE MEDIA PLAYER - THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING ON A LOOP FOR THE LAST FOUR HOURS. I need help.
08. I watched 101 movies last year! 92 of which I saw in the cinema. I'm doing well on the list this year - I'm already at 12 movies and there'll be many more to come this month alone... :)
Tagging: mostly new friends made through the recent XF and House friending memes.
