Ooh, an answer! ^_^

Yes, I do need to write some more little Jenka stories! TST's been taking up all my writing time, but on the other hand I am getting much faster at it.

Not needing a boyfriend - it's surprising how many people don't get that. I would've thought it would be pretty obvious... I just tend to assume not needing things as the default.

11. favorite lyric: Tough one. It tends to shift... 'I was standing. You were there. Two worlds collided and they could never tear us apart!' (Joe Cocker, Never Tear Us Apart). But I've got many favorites. That one just makes me think of one of my best friends. :D

[gg_fangirl]

And I hear other songs, and want to add them. *smack own head*

Alright... Album just got TV2 - the young years(de unge år, in danish) on it, cause I really love it. :D
And I need some 80's music on the list... 'Bed are burning' and 'Eye of the tiger' hereby jump onto that song list.
Also put Queen in with the band.

Heck, just because I was listening to symphonic metal while writing the earlier answers all in the recommendations ended up being of that kind! lol! ;D Anyway, my recommendations stand. Great music. :D

[schmot_gurl]

/is funny - yay!! ;D

9. are you in love/do you have a crush at the moment: Yes. And no, I'm not telling who.
I wouldn't have expected you to until you said this! ;) Is it someone I actually know??

[gg_fangirl]

Heh, no. Not unless you by some crazy incident know the same danish folks I do. ;)

Well, I've tried not to be 'in love' but I seem to fail miserably at that. lol.
It's like trying to convince myself I never want children; right... I go like butter around my niece as it is. ;D

Probably good I don't have a boyfriend come to think of it. Makes certain things in live so much easier. ;P

[schmot_gurl]

Seems unlikely. Although I have had something like that happen before! Nika's first time in the US. Someone asks where she's from. Poland. Silly American: "Ooh, I know someone from Poland! His name is X Y! Do you know him??" Nika: "... Actually, I do." XDDD

How about being in love but not doing anything about it? Trying to convince yourself you don't feel something is usually hard.

Not having a boyfriend - yes, it really does, doesn't it? Although it does make some things harder too. *wants sex, dammit!*

[gg_fangirl]

Okay, that's weird. :P It's not like Poland is a small country...

Eek, yes. I've tried that, too. Decided to give it up, since it didn't work.

Oh yes. Being single does have it's advantages. But as you point out also it's disadvantages. *sigh* Why can't you just get the best of both options?
*wants the best of both options*

[schmot_gurl]

*wants people to wear Betan earrings!!*
(reference)

[gg_fangirl]

Heh, I actually had to look that one up before replying. Never read those books, so didn't know what a betan earring was. ;P

But that could make some things easier, I suppose.

You've got a pair?

[schmot_gurl]

No, I have no idea what they even look like. Hmm, it would be rather interesting if she came up with an actual list, with pictures... *ponders*

*also, adds Miles Vorkosigan books to meme book recommendation*

[gg_fangirl]

Heh. Well, having pics and a list along with it would make some things a little easier. ;)

*writes 'Milas Vorkosigan' on note paper*
You do know that I've got no idea when to read new books, right? (Especially considering how much fanfic I read). heh

[_silverfox]

Apparently I'm supposed to be feeling lonely and crave motherhood. (As far as I'm concerned if I ever do, it's probably time to adopt a kitten ...)

[schmot_gurl]

Well, good thing you aren't, then! :D

I am feeling sort of lonely lately, but that's clearly an aberration and will go away. ;D Attempting to fix own psychological problems with a boyfriend - really not the way to go.
Motherhood could be interesting (if rather a lot of work), but so could plenty of other things.

[leucemic_god]

*hugs* If it doesn't go away, try whatever pet you like best. It's bound to be less trouble than a boyfriend. ;)
Motherhood is a lot of work for a very long time and a huge responsibility. It is definitely an even more serious step than getting a boyfried and should not be taken lightly. (Besides I was unhappy enough as a child. Why would I want to do that to my own child?)

[_silverfox]

And that was me. Accidentally used the RPG journal again, but I bet you know how these things happen.
