I am a leaf upon a highly gorram fickle wind
Obligatory Questions
01. Name: Critty O., aka B2WM, aka, Warg
02. Age: 20
03. Gender: female
04. Location: Ohio
05. Likes: Firefly, (naturally,) dogs, books, (paticularly Lord of the Rings and Discworld), writing, minor characters, music of all sorts, time spent outdoors in the rain, chocolate… you know, all the essentials.
06. Dislikes: Illogical stubbornness, obvious sermonizing, and leetspeak that’s so convoluted that I can’t make the least amount of sense of it.
07. Hobbies and/or Talents: Writing, dancing, (haven’t taken lessons in years, but I can still do full splits,) being ambidexterous, and spoiling the dogs.
08. Strengths: I’m easily amused. I don’t know if that’s a strength, but there you go. I tend to be very reliable: I might be a little late, but ask me for something and I’ll get it to you.
09. Weaknesses: My ADD can be very obvious at times, and I will go out of my way to avoid interaction with strangers in social situations.
Favourite
01. Colour: Gray
02. Movies: Serenity, Lord of the Rings, the original Star Wars Trilogy, The Princess Bride, and Mystery Men.
03. Books: Discworld, Lord of the Rings, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Princess Bride, Asimov, Jane Linskold’s Firekeeper series, Animorphs, Harry Potter, and a lot of other sci-fi and fantasy works.
04. Music: Lots of late 70’s to 90’s rock, anything Celtic I can get my hands on, a fair amount of hip hop and pop, plenty of modern country, classical music, and pretty much everything but “My Heart Will Go On” and Pearl Jam’s cover of “Last Kiss.” I’ll take accordians and bagpipes, but I don’t take whiny love ballads that get stuck in my head for days.
This or That
01. Leader or follower? Baa. I wander off in my own direction fairly frequently, but I’m not good at the whole “directing people” thing. So a lost follower, I suppose.
02. Brains or brawn? A little of both is nice, but if you’ve got brains, you can generally hire the brawn.
03. Fight or run? Run like Rincewind being chased by frightened lemmings. Fight to run, if necessary.
04. Psychological warfare, or a good ol' fashioned ass-kickin'? Although psychological warfare is a lovely thing to witness, I find prodding pi gu to be so much more satisfying on an instinctual level.
05. Dreamer or realist? I try to live in the real world, but I do like my little fantasties.
06. Win at all costs, or honour until the end? Well, first we’d have to define “winning” and “all costs”… But if surviving another day and being in good spirits counts as a win, then yeah, honor’s just a word.
07. Paper or plastic? Recycle the dead tree.
Random
01. How to do react to stressful situations? Procrastinate. Panic. Work like a maniac. Drink Mountain Dew. Repeat until stress is gone.
02. Who is your least favourite person in the universe, fictional or not? Eh, no one I know. There are people that irritate me from time to time, but I’m not one to carry a grudge.
03. The eternal question. You find a wallet full of money, credit cards, etc. What do you do with it? The name and address are on the credit card, right? Have to turn those in, at least; I couldn’t get away with identity theft even if I wanted to. Money I’d be a little more tempted to keep, but if there’s only a little in there to start with, better return it all.
04. How well do you take an insult? I shrug it off. Criticism is a slightly different beast; I can occasionally obsess over that, but if I can’t come up with a decent response on the spot, I’ll just pretend I never heard an insult.
05. Pick a weapon. It is better to light a flamethrower than to curse the darkness. Not that accurate, but it really doesn’t need to be, does it?
06. You're sending a capsule into space, to educate any alien races who might find it on human culture. Remember, you have to impress them, or else they'll think we're stupid and blow us up. What do you put in the capsule? I’m not going to assume that aliens understand any earth languages, so as much as I’d love to add in some books, those are probably going to be second to any sort of sound/image producing device, fuzzy blankets, and antiseptic agents. Wouldn’t want to kill ‘em with kindness before they’d had a chance to sample earth’s music or food, now, would we?
