Been tagged! For a ten questions meme!
By rumpledlinen!
Here's the questions (and my answers):
1. What's your favorite drink?
Tea. Iced in the summer (homemade!) and hot at any other time. Usually something herbal or fruity at home (Mom likes it) and black when I need caffeine (bagged at uni) or have a lot of time in the morning (loose leaf at home). I do take my tea seriously...
2. What sort of movies do you most enjoy watching?
Romantic comedies (When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, that kind of thing), science fiction (my first ever fandom was Star Wars ♥), military movies (I have an unhealthy like for Stealth and Top Gun and others of that kind) and when I'm in the mood stuff that makes me cry (Rosenstraße, Grace is Gone). The last only when I'm at home alone. I'm a wuss and I'm embarrassed when someone sees it.
3. First real OTP?
Han and Leia, all the way :D (before I even knew what an OTP was, actually...)
4. RPF - what are your opinions on it?
Mh. Ambivalent. On the hand it makes me kind of uncomfortable but then again... what else then RPF is historical fiction about historical persons? I guess, in the end it always depends on how it's written and if the people it's about mind or not. There are people who explicitely ask fans not to do it and I think people should respect that. As for myself... I don't read it but I wrote Generation Kill fanfiction. Still not sure if that counts as RPF or not...
5. Favorite food?
Chinese take away. Also, chocolate. And everything with melted cheese on it :D
6. Do you prefer to sleep and be too warm or too cold?
Not sure if I understand the question... but if I had to choose, it'd be too cold. Too warm. I don't know. Can you repeat the question?
7. Summer or winter?
Winter all the fucking way. I'll take cold and snow and ice over heat and sun every day.
8. What's your favorite class you've taken?
That... is a really difficult question. I remember a Literature 101 class that we had lots of fun in and that taught me all the basics I needed for really reading a book and Methods and Statistics I because the lecturers were two slightly crazy almost middle-aged guys that we kind of shipped. My gender studies classes. That Hemingway class that taught me how to read Hemingway properly. A class on interaction sociology. The class on German Armed Forces and the 1960s that ended yesterday. Introduction to military sociology. Military History 101. Honestly, I can't decide :O
9. Computer or books - which do you choose?
Books. I'm sitting in front of the computer a lot of time but what I'm really looking forward to is the commute to and from uni because that's at least two hours every day time for books! I love the look and the feel and I will never get used to e-books. I need my books to, you know, be books.
10. Favorite scent of candle?
Depends on my mood, the season, the weather... I love a cinnamon bun scented candle in winter or a beeswax candle smelling of honey but I also love freshly scented candles (something fruity or something smelling of fresh mown grass or fresh laundry or the sea breeze) in the summer.
Okay... my turn to tag, huh?
First, questions:
01. Social media and you - yay or nay? Why?
02. What brought you to LJ?
03. Food you most like to cook or bake?
04. Your most favorite fic ever and why?
05. What was the fandom you were/are most addicted to?
06. A class you really hated?
07. What was the last book you read? Liked it? Not? Why?
08. The first friend you made on the internet?
09. Christmas person or not?
10. Do you craft? Why, why not?
Mh. Err. Oh, yeah, right. I'm tagging: 0_noctifer_0, jess_being_me, sighnomore, jessie_ohki, inkvoices and abvj, curtesy of randomly clicking on user names in my flist. I'm very unoriginal at times.
Now. Back to trying to find a suitable café and off to writing my essay about the ban on combat for women having been lifted ("five pages not counting foot notes, no sources, have a look at essays in DIE ZEIT!" So... basically, rambling on, name dropping and pretending I'm an expert, yes?)...
