Meme stolen from [info]sarolynne
The rules:
* Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose (8) people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
1. I adore cheesecake plain and without any sort of garnish or added flavoring to it. This was discovered after a trip for writing in Borders where I ordered a Cocoa Trio and a piece of the cheesecake because it appealed to me. The person forgot to ask me if I wanted the berry drizzled on top of it and just served it to me plain. After the cocoa had been sucked down and the chocolate chomped on quite happily, one bite into the cheesecake made me put down the book I was reading (right in the middle of a particularly wonderfully suspenseful chapter mind you) and go for the rest of the thing on my plate.
2. I am a pain in the ass when it comes to naming my characters; the names have to fit, be "just right" and have some sort of personality defining meaning to it. Names have power and thus shape my characters. I usually can find their personality after I have a solid name for them. Also, sub topic to this, I can create an entire elaborate background based on a simple fact and translation of a name; meanings, ranks, etc in a society and everything. It's been done and I have it printed out beside me for my D&D character.
3. I have a system in the morning/when I check my email and such. It goes: Email, Divergence, Main plot, IMs left on Away Message, Senkai Rarin, LiveJournal, and DeviantArt.
4. I can't sleep without music. Even if I've gone 43 hours without sleep and am about ready to shoot myself in the face, or the person next to me, if I don't have at least one of the songs playing during the entire night/time I sleep, I'll not be able to sleep. I don't listen to anything hardcore rock or anything like that and generally only have piano, violin and string/wind instruments playing in my music. If it's vocalized, it's something almost trance-like or just very soft and relaxes me into sleep.
5. I'm a monster when it comes to reading; I read the 5th Harry Potter in 3 hours and 26 minutes while my family was out at the river, with chips, drinks and my music playing in the background. I usually read 10 manga or so whenever I'm at the bookstore.
6. I sleep with my windows open; winter or summer. I have to or else there's no balance in the temperature in my room. I'll either get too hot or too cold if I don't have one open.
7. I've had several dreams come true that I've documented at various points in my life, same with the bad feelings I've gotten suddenly in the middle of the night or will have odd "flashes" of images that bother the hell out of me. One dream in particular has been recurring at least once a month (having it twice a month the past year) since I was 15. I'm a lucid dreamer, am completely aware of myself (usually) and can't control a damned aspect about any dream I have. Dreams lately have been about present day things that could have happened/could happen within a few hours to a few days or even a few months.
8. When I listen to music, I see "flashes" of things that, to me, are of characters' lives or like I'm watching a movie of some sort.
I'm cheap, lazy and don't know who'd wanna do this. XD Also, portland peeps who read this and know me RL; I'm leaving on Friday to head to Denver for a good long while, small get together on Thursday as an "Adios" kinda thing.
...those who feel masochistic and wanna help me clean are more than welcome to come over and do so.
