Oh look, a meme.
Is it just me, or lately am I either a) a pudlde of flailing, spastic emo, or 2) doing silly memes?
...NO. That MUST be my imagination.
Lately, I'm working on Gau and reading like crazy. Visited my grandparents, too.
...well isn't that thrilling.
And concise.
Here we go, though. Snagged off Sei-san, who supposedly DID IT WRONG.
01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
GUH.
No, I'm currently STILL in an "it's complicated" fit of rampant shyness witht he boy I liked in middle school. Never dated once. (He's a hard act to follow, what can I say?)
02) What was your dream growing up?
Be an astronaut. Meet aliens.
Actually have friends. (Sad but true.)
03) What talent do you wish you had?
THE POWER TO MOVE YOU.
With mind-bullets.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
I'd look at you funny, no matter whatit was, and probably sniff it to make sure there was nothing in it. I'm a little paranoid about that kind of thing, really. (And I'd feel bad about you spending your money, whoever you are from my f-list)
05) Favorite vegetable?
Spinach, hands down.
06) What was the last book you read?
KUH. Uhm. Well. Yesterday i read both Terry pratchett's "Equal Rites" and Orson Scott Card's "A War of Gifts" and started on Octavia E. Butler's "The parable of the sower"
...not a good question to ask when I'm in summer-reading mode.
07) What zodiac sign are you?
I'm a cancer.
Which as I pointed out to someone only last week, is always an awkward thing to say in a conversation: "Hey there! I'm a tumor! Can I eat your face? ♥ "
He suggested I introduce myself as "crabby".
That also sounds like I'm suffering from some unbearable crop of lice, which I don't think I pointed out because I was busy being nervous.
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
Never had my ears pierced, and no tattoos. I'm against making permanant changes to my body in any form. About the most I'll do is cut my hair, but I'll never have a piercing or a tattoo. Anywhere. ^^;;
Sometimes it's been tempting, though. I like the idea of body piercings and all, but I'd never do it.
09) Worst Habit?
Uhm. well. I've been nailbiting since I was seven.
And I've been nitpicking and paranoid since at least then.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
If I knew you.
If I didn't, then you'd have to walk.
I like people and all, but being in a small space with me probably isn't very pleasant no matter how much easy small-talk I make.
11) What is your favorite sport?
CHESS.
(I'm a geek, sorry.)
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?
Optimistic about people I know. Pessimistic about all situations, ina sort of calm, level-headed paranoid way. My brain's the sort that automatically creates escape routes the instant it walks into a room, and then stows them away for later.
It's just how it works, I'm afraid.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Relax. Surrounded by strangers panicking in an elevator, I'd relax. I like small, enclosed spaces. I just don't like having my attention divided when strangers are nearby.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Not a subject I'd put in a meme. ^^;;
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
I moved into my toybox and slept there for a whole summer when I was eight. Jsut me, my plush thirdhand bunnies, and my star wars books.
When I was fifteen, my dad constructed me an enclosed bed for a birthday present. Currently I use it like my real room, in miniature. I spend most of my time there, no doubt.
16) Do you have any pets?
Cockroaches. And Gerbils.
There are two gerbils in my room: Aslan and Kingsford Matthias von Reepicheep. 'Lan belongs to my sister. It's obvious who Reep belongs to.
My cockroaches are divided into two plastic-conatiner-constructed cages. In one I have Octavian, Kali the Black Destroyer, and Moses. In the other I have cain and Fable, Pharaoh, and Spectre. I catch them from around the hosue, and keep them, and jsut feed them about once a week. I've actually trained the roaches to come and beg at the larger breathing-holes for gerbil poop when I breathe or talk to the cages. It's kind of...sweetly creepy. XD
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
"Hm? Oh. Hello. What do you want?"
You'd see the most spaced-out looking blond person in the universe staring at you, looking like they jsut woke up.
18) What was your first impression of me?
Sei-san was an amazing xxxHOLiC player. I had tremendous fun. 'Twas most depressing to lose her.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Hey, if a man wants to wear makeup and stuff pie down his shorts, that's his business as I see it.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I'd like to reduce the cup size considerably.
I'd also love to have hair that comes in some kind of crayola box color. I'm thinking either electric blue, or a sort of moss green.
But again, hair-dying could count ont he "permanancy" thing. Most I ever did was put purple highlighter in my hair. (It worked. I'm blond. XD)
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Either. it depends ont eh crime. I support harmless jokes. I odn't support much else, and I tend to wax-poetic when i lecture. "Don't do thaaaaat."
22) What color eyes do you have?
Seasick. (Mostly gray, but bluish greenish, too. They don't know what they are. I think the technical term is "silver hazel")
23) Ever been arrested?
Nope. Never done much that needs arresting. Ah. Except one time I shoplifted, tehcnically. I felt so wretched about it that I gave the book away after.
24) Bottle or can soda?
Bottle. And make it a mountain dew.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Put it in my bank acocunt, and think about getting car repairs done. That'd be my next semester right there. I'd get a job over the summer anyway.
Oh, I'd also send a very happy prayer up to God, with much laughter. (I tend to do that. My prayers tend to be pretty open-channel. It's part of the reason I hate praying out loud.)
26) What's your favorite place to hang out at?
Possibly Avalon card and Manga shop. I don't hang out much else. It's either home, school, work, or gaming.
27) Do you believe in ghosts?
Not particularly. Just because things happen doesn't mean an explanation is even possible, but it also doesn't mean people won't try to explain it.
28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Sleep. Write excessive fanfiction, create RPG campaigns, play said RPGs with loads of geeky men. Be with my family.
29) Do you swear a lot?
Only when I write. when I speak, I can't say the words even if I wanted to. And I've only picked it up in my writing from playing or writing characters who by necessity swear.
I can give an excellent lecture on the difference between cussing and swearing, and possibly tell you what all the acronyms and derivations are. That tends to put a damper on one's swearing.
I usually jsut make weird noises or exclaim random syllables in real life.
30) Biggest pet peeve?
Uhm. Possibly politics, or smug peopel who think they're politically correct and really aren't,a nd don't evne stop to think?
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
"Uhm", possibly.
32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
I study what romance is the way a person pores over a textbook. I understand its theory, but little of its practice, and generally I'm too scared to do any labs ont he subejct if you get my drift.
33) Favourite and least favourite food?
I like heavily flavored ethnic foods. (Especially middle eastern, Indian, Japanese, or carribean cuisine.)
One thing I don't eat is Brussel Sprots, though. That's something I don't like. Cabbage is hard for me to eat. Lately I'm okay with trying new things, though. (but I don't drink. I should point that out, too.)
34) Do you believe in God?
Oh certainly. The "calvinism" in my journal title is there for a reason. XD I make calvinist jokes quite a bit, though. Self mocking's great. I love griping when people assume all christians are ignorant, right-wing bigots.
About the main thing online that throws people off with me is my tendency to write stuff with gay people in it. (That's a funny kind of empathy excercise. People are people. I write things so I can understand them.)
Oh. And in real life, people usually assume I'm a lesbian because I ahve no conventional fashion sense, and I have weird hair.
That also tends to throw them off.
35) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
I DIT IT WRONG.
Anyone who wants to do it right can do so happily.
36) Favourite band(s) of ALL time:
Pfft. Lately? I'm into Composers.
but Showbread's up there. (Weird screaming christian geek band with men with piercing and green eye shadow in shorts singing about zombies.)
Maurice ravel--though he's a composer.
Lately I've been listening to too much Apocalyptica and Break of Reality as part of my serious crush on anything written for cello or piano. XD
Somehow I still like screaming metal, though. Korn, Disturbed, and Demon Hunter go in there, too. XD
My tastes are so bizzare...
...NO. That MUST be my imagination.
