This might sound a little silly, but: macaroni and cheese. The kind from a box, even. It's been a huge comfort food of mine since I was a kid -- I used to be a horribly picky eater, and mac and cheese was one of the few foods I'd readily eat. I love Cheerios, too, which I think I've been addicted to since I was maybe nine months old, though I couldn't eat them properly then.

Lately, I love vegetarian Thai food, especially things made with peanut-y sauces. Mmm.

[puella_nerdii]

I got over being a picky eater once I became a vegetarian about seven years ago -- okay, I guess vegetarianism's a different kind if picky, but I kind of had to expand my palate if I wanted to be able to find things I could eat, especially at restaurants. So now I'll eat most things that don't have dead animal in.

You end all your posts with a dot, Mith both starts and ends hers with a dot.. why do?

[puella_nerdii]

I picked up the habit from her, actually. The dot preserves a space between the end of my entry and the footer, and having that blank space just looks cleaner to me. I don't like it when my entry text gets too close to the little comment/link/etc. links, it looks so cluttered and cramped.

Aah, well that's logical enough..! /has been wondering for a while

[puella_nerdii]

I am glad my strange aesthetic preferences are logical. :D

How old were you when you started writing fanfics?

[puella_nerdii]

Fourteen, I think, if I'm remembering correctly. (I'd been composing fanfics in my head/improvising them with my sister for years before that, and I even wrote some of them down, but I didn't dare put anything on the Internet until I was fourteen.) They were all Harry Potter, all centered around the Marauders generation, specifically around Remus Lupin. They, er, weren't very good. I recently posted excerpts from the oldest story I still have lying around on the Internet. The fourteen-year-old-ness really shows, more than I thought it did at the time.

awwwwww

Nobody's fiction is good at 14, but it's good practice for the future, and in your case, obviously worked quite well as such ;)

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

(also -- does America top most of the time, or England? :3)

[puella_nerdii]

-- oh, good question. A lot of places, but at the top of the list is England, specifically London -- there's so much history there, and so much theatre, and I've wanted to go there for as long as I can remember but I've never gotten the chance to.

(They do a fair amount of switching, but I always seem to write about England topping, for which I blame author appeal. *cough* My country is really hot when he bottoms, what. So yeah.)

[deixis_dyad]

Haha, I've always wanted to go to London: my feelings intensified after reading Harry Potter, though. Admittedly. Now I mostly want to go for all the history, like you said. Theatre wouldn't hurt, either. *grin*

(Also, another headcanon question, if I may? -- Whatever happened to Scotland in your headcanon?)

[puella_nerdii]

Harry Potter certainly didn't help, but I'm a lifelong Anglophile, so. *grins*

(England put Scotland in a pestilential prison with a lifelong lock during Cromwell's occupation in the 1650s; Mith touches on that in Cruel Necessity. Scotland was more or less let out after the Restoration -- after the Act of Union and the creation of Great Britain, England tried to imprison Scotland in a slightly nicer castle, which Scotland was less than pleased about, and Scotland sort of hopped in and out of his brother's custody until the Forty-Five. Specifically Culloden, where England [quite literally] broke his back and set him in his deepest prison yet. England eventually let Scotland out, but Scotland never recovered from Culloden.)

What are you studying/majoring in? (just wondering cause you come off as really cool and educated when I talk to you on Twitter and read your fic)

[puella_nerdii]

*blush* I'm an acting major, actually, though I have double minors in writing and anthropology. I tried to get a second major in anthropology, but I had to downgrade it to a minor because of time constraints.

I technically enrolled in college as a physics major. That, uh, didn't take.
