OH MY GOD A GIANT ROCK- ER, MEME
First of all, I writed a thing! I really need to stop doing that at one in the morning, but there you go. Also, BBS spoilers there. You've been warned.
Crazy things are happening with interviews being cancelled and changed around and whatnot, but I don't think I'm going to hear anything until Monday. Either way, glory hallelujah I have a three-day temp gig this week. :D Waking up at six is going to lay me flat, but it'll be worth it.
amorsinseramada and I are going to head to the Soda Fountain next to El Capitan later this afternoon. We've never been before, so it should be interesting. And full of ice cream. Yes. :Db
Finally, I've been tagged in this name meme, so here it is:
1. Hello there, stranger, what's your aliases? (Common username, nicknames, etc)
I've been going by Yamiko or Yamikonumber7 online for quite a while now - here, YouTube, and FFN, for the most part. I'm starting to shift stuff over to Kiaxet, given that it's a bit more (as in entirely) unique. For the most part, face to face, I go by Kia.
2. That was some cool names... Care to tell me your real one?
Katherine, though most people call me Katie. Google me and you get an Irish actress. I am perfectly okay with that level of Google security. :Db
3. That was also cool! Now show of your own awesome nicknaming skills. Who do you call what?
I have lots of people who share names in my life. Usually I'm okay calling people by their online names, but when I'm talking to someone offline, life gets interesting. To that end, I have roommate!Megan and friend!Megan, supervisor!Sarah, GPhi!Sarah, and friend!Sarah, and crazy!Christiana (who thankfully is no longer in my life) and boss!Christiana, just to name a few.
Nicknames in other places tend to come mostly from RP stuff. They're mostly self-evident and sometimes possessive - my sniper, my nun, my Agent, the awkward dragon, the internet reviewer, and "the smartass" has become interchangeable for a few of them. I also have a habit of calling Terra "that poor bastard" more than I ever do by name.
My little brother's nickname is still Puddles, though that one wasn't my fault.
4. Okie, what do you think these people should know about you by now?
I freaking love Disneyland and go there all the time. :Db
5. What do you think they don't know?
I'm slightly OCD and a mild germophobe. Neither is bad enough to majorly affect my lifestyle, but there are situations where it's noticeable.
6. Random request time! Set your iTunes/Favorites on YouTube/any music player on Shuffle and then tell me the first five songs which starts to play!
1. What's This? - The Nightmare Before Christmas OST
2. It's Five O'Clock Somewhere - Alan Jackson feat. Jimmy Buffett
3. Good 'N' Evil - Jekyll and Hyde OST
4. The Flying Dutchman - Mannheim Steamroller
5. Rock & Roll Graveyard - Mannheim Steamroller
7. Now list five of your favorite pairings from any kind of fandom! (Manga/anime, games, you name it!)
Heeeee I am such an awful shipper :3 And yes, I am a firm believer that order matters.
1. Rosette/Chrno - Chrno Crusade
2. J/Starr - Elite Beat Agents
3. Robin/Franky - One Piece
4. The Doctor/Rose - Doctor Who
5. Aqua/Terra - Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
8. Check up on your Star Sign (the Western one) and tell me what characteristics people born in it is supposed to have that you think you yourself have. (Did that make sense?)
Patient and reliable
Warmhearted and loving
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving
On the dark side....
Jealous and possessive
Resentful and inflexible
Self-indulgent and greedy
You know, for the most part, I think that fits me. There are a few that I don't think match, but that is pretty well accurate.
9. What characteristics do you think don't fit you?
Patience? Me? Man, I wish. Also, I like to think I'm not that inflexible or greedy, though I'm pretty sure I'm not the best judge of that.
10: Pimping time! Link me to something you've done which you're really proud over! (Fanfiction, picture, AMW, website, just give me the goodies!)
I know you've all seen this a billion times, but I'm still so pleased it turned out okay. :D
11. Here's six invitation cards, give them to six real persons you would like to have over at your place!
David Cook, David Tennant, Robert Downey Jr., Neil Patrick Harris, Stan Lee, and Linkara.
Barring the implied "famous people" clause, I want my littles, my big, my grand little, my twin, and one of my little's roomies over here. Family Awesome party? I think so.
12. And here's six ones to fictional persons~
KH cast party. Cake. Drinks. Piñatas shaped like Xehanort. It'll be a good time. (Read: Kia cannot choose just six.)
13. Number 13, eh? Do you believe in such things as bad luck?
Kiiiiiind of. I tend to ground a lot of stuff in logic - or whatever brand of moon logic it is that I function on - but I still throw salt over my shoulder and knock wood. It's pretty mild.
14. If you do, what do you have to protect yourself from it?
For the small stuff? A sort of "Life happens; get on with it" philosophy. For the big stuff? Faith. For me, that's really all there is to it.
15. And I think that was about it. Now please tag some people you want to know more random things about!
I know Avie already tagged jedizero, but once more for good measure, I think - once you're finished studying and exam-ing, that is. I would also love to see nalina, lynxgriffin, and rebmakash. Have fun, guys. :D
In completely different news, curse my ongoing obsession with timepieces! Guess what's going on my Christmas list this year. ;A;
