1. My username is shadowesque13 because...
The name 'Shadowesque' is one that's stuck with me for many, many years now, even since my days at the old Connor Trinneer boards. I thought adding 'esque' on to the end of stuff sounded awesome and creative. Shadow more likely than not came from Shadow the Hedgehog. And since I was the pre-teen that I was then when I came up with the name, shadows and dark shit were awesome.
Most places I register to, 'Shadowesque' is taken, so I slap 13 on, since that's my (cliched, I know) fave number. Most of the time I stop checking anymore and just stick the 13 on anyway.
2. My name is Æ- apocalypse in 4... 3... 2... because...
When I was remaking my journal layout, I had a thing for random symbols. It just for some reason seemed to work with the apocalypse bit. Which is also a partial quote from the Andrea Gibson poem which is quoted on my sidebar there.
"Play like the apocalypse is only 4...3...2..."
3. My journal is titled DON'T call me SIR! because...
4. My subtitle is I WORK for a living! because...
They go together. Quote, also on the sidebar, by Ratchet off of Transformers Animated in his character episode, "Thrill of the Hunt". For some reason, it's one of my fave quotes. The scene is a flashback of his days in the war, fixing up an intelligence officer, Arcee, in the middle of a battlefield.
"What's your name, soldier?"
"Ar...Arcee, sir."
"DON'T call me SIR! I WORK for a living! ...Heh, the name's...Ratchet. Got that?"
"Yes, si--yes...Ratchet."
Maybe it's the delivery, maybe I've just got a soft spot for humble heroics and war stories, maybe it's just them, but I always adored this scene--and, of course, the entire episode.
5. My friends page is called because...
It doesn't have a name. XD I never thought to give it one, any time I've redone my journal, ever.
6. My default userpic is graffiti saying "a decepticon with autobot intentions" because...
That's probably one of the best descriptions of me ever and goes along with the Transformers theme I've got going (see the quote above, and also see my journal layout). First, the fannish reasons: I love the Cons. They've got some fun characters, and I just love rooting for the badguys. Megatron is a far superior leader than Optimus can ever hope to be. But they also have some characters I detest. And while taking over the world to take over another world to conquer the galaxy is awesome... Then there are the Bots, who, lets face it, have some really great characters I've grown attached to. And I LIKE my planet, kthnx.
Less fannish reasons: I'm not a bad guy. I'm not the villain, just the anti-hero. Chaos, anarchy, what have you. I'm not looking to kill people or anything. But I love the bad guy persona. I'm an asshole who speaks her mind and doesn't take shit. But I'm probably a good person at heart. I want to stop the killings and save the planet and save the animals and am totally for a bajillion good causes. It goes with my dual-minded-ness that I have come to terms with having.

My pajama bottoms (loose, comfy, huge-ass hole in the crotch and in dire need of replacing, not too light, not heavy at all). As for tops, I guess just one of my oversized black printed shirts? *shrugs* To wear out, my DKNY jeans and...a shirt. :P (I say my DKNY jeans because they are the. most. perfect. fitting. jeans. That I have ever bought. And I can only tell apart jeans from the brand.)
- What do you usually wear?: PJ's since I almost never go out. When I got out, depends on where or what I feel like wearing. Like, hey, next time I go down to Dots, I might wear my one dress, just to make myself feel good. Or, like, my Darkwing Duck shirt and...jeans. Jeans are the best.

- I dream about: Random shit. Last night? It was not sex-related, surprisingly, but subconscious, please get TDK!Harvey Dent to say "so you like me writhing around moaning" again or something equally arousing? The random-ass non-sex plot you had with it can go. (...Okay, you can keep the weird dude that leered at him and said yes.) MOST OF THE ONES I REMEMBER are fandom-y. But srsly, like all dreams? Random. Stuff with school, stuff with zombies, stuff with driving, stuff with flying, stuff with falling...

- Makes you smile: VAGUE QUESTION IS VAGUE.
- Gives you a funny feeling when you look at them?: The only person that's ever done that to me IRL was my math student teacher 2 years ago. *facepalm* And he, obviously, had a girlfriend. But oh my god.
Do You Ever...
- Sit on the internet all night waiting for that someone special to IM you?: Only if it's a good friend that I need to show something to, and then I IM them right away. :P
- Wish you were a member of the opposite sex?: Oh hell yeah. Especially when the period rolls around.
- Wish you were younger: No.
-Cry because someone said something to you?: I don't think so? I don't cry that easily. It'll usually be fandom-related if I'm crying. LIKE DR. HORRIBLE GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND, I'LL PROBABLY CATCH THE END NOW THAT I'M ALMOST DONE AND ON ACT 3. AND I'LL MOST LIKELY CRY. But no, not because someone's said something. I'm thicker than that.
