Meme time!
So I have been tagged by
memories_child for this meme that's been going around, and since I'm upstairs checking on the puppies, I'll use my home computer to actually answer this!
First: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.
Second: Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
Lots of pillows or just one? Two. I just replaced one on my side and one on my fiance's side. I can't sleep with my head too flat.
What kind of books do you read? Lately? Too much fanfiction. But I guess those don't count as books (although many of what I've been reading on the new Blackberry have been really long, and honestly have been good enough to be books [Bonetree's "Secret World", OMG]). Other than that, I read the XF novels and lots of Dragonlance fantasy books, and I DO have a whole shelf of shoujo manga.
What are your most awesome skills? I'm a good artist, although I rarely use that skill anymore. I'm good at listening to people and giving advice. I think I'm pretty good at Photoshop. I also have a good nose for awesome fanfiction, and am often asked by friends for good reccomendations.
What's your occupation? Retail. I work in a beauty supply shop. But its an easy job - since we don't have a ton of business, I mostly get to sit around and read fic on my Blackberry. Hopefully that'll change someday when I actually get back to school and finish my graphic design degree.
What's really creepy? Some of the weirdos that hang outside my work. Also, THIS. I love David Duchovny as much as the next XF/Californication fangirl, but who on Earth would WANT one of those creepy-looking things? Maybe if you're an artist, to use for drawing and stuff but.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww.
What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Fandom: X-Files. Forever and always. Also, Californication. I was doing the whole BSG thing, but I'm close to the end of season 4.0 and recently have lost interest. I need to force myself to watch the rest of the series.
Obsession: XF/Photoshop/my new puppies!
Addiction: XF/Californication. Cute cotton scarves that you can wear even when its warm outside.
What flavor ice cream would you choose right now? Right now...its been a realllllyyyyy long time since I've had some good rainbow sherbet. I'm craving it right now.
What websites do you always visit when you go online? LJ, Facebook, Hotmail, Ephemeral/Gossamer. Sometimes I check in with Myspace, but not often.
What was the last thing you bought? Some white, black, and red shirts for work (we have a dress code...ugh.) A pair of shoes. A cute black and white plaid cotton scarf. I've got this thing for scarves lately.
What was the cutest thing you've seen today? ....and every day for the past 5 days - MY PUPPIES!
Do you get cravings? Chinese and sugary junk. It cycles off and on.
What do you do to change your mood? Listen to music, play around on Photoshop, watch a good DVD, spend time with my dogs.
What is your zodiac sign? Virgo. And yes, I'm fairly typical.
Do you want to learn another language? Yes! I was pretty good at German at one point so I'd love to pick that back up again. Also, I'd like to learn Japanese, since I read a lot of Japanese fashion magazines and I'm going to Japan in 2012.
Five things you can't live without. My fiance, my Blackberry, my XF collection, my dogs, the internet.
What's something you'd like to say to someone right now? I love you, and I'm sorry for everything. But you have this idea about me that is completely untrue, and I wish you didn't have it.
What are you looking forward to? Kylie Minogue concert in October, Hawaii in May, Japan in 2012 if aliens don't colonize the Earth first. And XF3, if/when it happens.
Say something to the person who tagged you: I'll quote you from your meme - "Your writing never fails to amaze me." Seriously girl, it does. Its so creative, and you take elements that no one else would think would work, and you MAKE them work. I've rec'ed all of your fic to my fic-whoring friends on Facebook. Hopefully will see you writing a lot for the next xf_pornbattle! (And hopefully writing an xf_bigbang ? I haven't checked the list to see who was writing, so hopefully you are!)
