How do I Live Journal anymore?
So I haven't posted on here in ages, but I'm still lurking around so I spied some of my friends filling out this meme and I decided to fill it out myself, too. You know, for old times sake.
Questions by lysachan
1) Could you imagine permanently living outside of Croatia?
Right now, I can't. I love my city and I'm very attached to it and so is my girlfriend. I'm also very bad with dealing with change, especially the big kind such as moving and starting your life somewhere else. But I guess, if I had to or if I set my mind to it, I could. It would take some getting used to it, I'd be very home sick at first, but then I'd get over it eventually. Besides, gf and I sometimes fantasize how we'll move to Iceland once we're rich. So there.
2) What is the femslash paring that has had the biggest influence on your fangirly life?
It all began with Sara Sidle and Sofia Curtis of CSI. That's the first fandom I stumbled in and you know what they say: you always remember your first. I had no idea about how a fandom works, how engaging it is or how devastating it can be. Oh my creys! I had no idea. I still pine over the loss of Det. Sofia Curtis because she's the reason I even ventured into the vastness of the Internets in search of fandom.
3) Do you like vegetables?
I do. The problem is, I never liked vegetables the way my mom cooked them so I ended up growing up not eating much of vegetables. I like them simply cooked in salty water, maybe fried on some butter later and seasoned. I like when my peas roll around on the plate and I have to chase them with a fork.
4) What is your favourite music genre?
Pop music. Rock. I like classic and dance music just as much. It's not about the genre, really. It's more about the beat and the feel and the sound of the singer's voice. For example, going through my music collection you'll find: Sara Bareilles, Evanescence, Rammstein, Leftfield, Metric, Norah Jones, Dire Straits, Queen, Roxette, Kelly Clarkson, Texas, Marilyn Manson, Goldfrapp, Florence + The Machine, 80's rock, Mozart, Vivaldi... the list goes on. If it gives me ~feelings, me gusta.
5) Did you like school?
I liked it as much as any average kid likes school. While I was attending it, I was like, 'crap, school', after I finished it I was like, 'fuck, now I have to get a job'. I was a good student, I liked certain subjects and certain professors because some of them were really trying to pass on their knowledge onto us. And then there were those who just came in and did a lousy job and it made me regret I chose the high school I chose. But since I was an A student all throughout my education everybody assumed I loved school and everything about it when, actually, I was pretty much disappointed by it. Turns out, I'm much better at learning things from practice than I am from a book.
6) What is the first site you visit when you go online?
Facebook. I know: I suck. But hear me out! I have this awesome group of girls on there and they are from all around the Europe and US and we talk about STUFF that's important so I always go there to see if someone wrote something or if there's a new reason for me to make fun of _miss_frost, as I'm accustomed to do because she's so adorable when I make fun of her. Also, there's discussion about boobs and that's always relevant and I must stay on top of that, too. Also, many of my friends simply decided that texting is so passe and they insist on leaving me FB messages instead of sending me texts when they wish to tell me something so checking Facebook is the equivalent of me checking my e-mail first thing in the morning 10 years ago.
7) Are you happy?
Since, literally, little things make me happy, I guess I can say that I am (to prove my point: yesterday, I found my old stapler at work that I misplaced months ago and I was so happy I found it, I went from colleague to colleague showing them how I found my stapler and squeed over it how now I'll be able to staple things together again like a proper human being, and not torture myself with that evil crap stapler I used while this old one was missing). Also, I have a wonderful girlfriend, I work at a bookstore which is something I always wanted to do, I get to do fangirly stuff and act like a kid even though I should be a reasonable and responsible adult. So yeah, I'm happy.
