Don't worry Riley, I'm always the last on these things.

Feel free to ask me anything, anonymously or not. And hey, you can tell me if I've missed anything important.

How did you become so badass?

Tips for us badassly challenged?

[just_uhura]

My parents taught me from a very young age.

But really, badass? I'm just determined, but hey if that's what we're calling it I'll play along. To be badass... Don't take shit from anyone but learn the difference between scathing wit and plain up bitchiness. A bitch doesn't earn much respect, only fear, and if there's one thing that's important when being a badass it's that people respect you (although being a little scared of you is okay too). So for that, you have to respect yourself. Learn your strengths and play to them, and don't let anyone else convince you of your self worth. If you want something, you can get it. But you're not going to get there by kicking everyone else out of the way. And the prize isn't worth it if you didn't earn it.

And remember the most important rule of badassery: a fabulous pair of shoes can imbue you with very much needed self confidence. I always feel bitchin' in a pair of bitchin' heels. You want comfortable yet sexy. Not for the guy you like, not to fit in with all the other cool kids, but for you

How do you do your makeup? Because it looks fucking AWESOME. Also, are those your natural lashes?

[just_uhura]

It's pretty simple because I don't have time to spend hours making sure I look good. I've got pretty decent skin (thank you genetics) so I don't use a base, but if you do make sure it's light so it looks natural. With all the cosmetic improvements in the last 200 years, you wouldn't believe how many people still get the wrong base. But then I get a light gold, dust it over the lids with my fingers and then line my upper lash line just to make it pop. Getting the flick at the end doesn't take much to learn so just practice in the mirror. It should only take about two minutes.

And they are, but you should see my brothers. The boy blinks and he looks like a baby deer.

Where is home, and what is it like?

[just_uhura]

Home in the literal sense is United States of Africa. I was born in Kenya, but I moved to Nairobi at a young age so that's where I did most of my growing up. It was, and still is, absolutely beautiful. My parents worked a lot, so me and my sister spent a lot of time finding things to do and there's no shortage in Nairobi. We lived just on the outskirts of the city so my dad could get to work easily every day, but we were really close to the safari. There was this amazing waterfall leading out to this huge lake a couple of miles down the road, so my sister and I would sneak out there to swim, jump off the rocks, star gaze. It's my favorite place on Earth.

Well, I hope you won't need this, but in light of the above, if you do:

I have available to lend one (1) almost-Spock, heavily used, but in very good condition (recently refurbished). Performs well in all arenas; excellent particularly at romancing women. Says all the right things. If you would like to borrow him, just drop me a line. Free to a beautiful lady, although donations of baked goods are always welcome.

Don't you dot dot dot me, Mister.

[[OOC: Oh yay. I missed you wife. ♥♥]]

Did you really turn down my son at that bar? And if you did, why?

[just_uhura]

[OOC: I missed you too! ♥]

I've turned Kirk down at quite a few bars actually. He was acting like he'd already scored me, and I don't appreciate being written off as a sure thing. I guess you could say he wasn't subtle enough for me. Thank god he's matured.

[kirk_winona]

[[OOC: I have amusing things to show you sometime. ♥]]

Kirk men are never subtle, Nyota. They will forever fail at it until a woman teaches them how to be subtle. Takes special talent.

Do you like being with Spock?

[just_uhura]

[OOC: Remind me to sign on so you can show me!]

I'm beginning to understand they take a certain type. And I'm learning to exercise a little more patience with Kirk men. I think it's going pretty well, I haven't felt the urge to hit him in at least 24 hours.

Absolutely. If I didn't, I wouldn't be with him.
