11 Things About
Myself:
...I'm trying to
think of weird facts I haven't disclosed previously...
1. something
Pogo brought up in the last post--I don't like female vocalists, unless they're
opera singers. I have an itty bitty handful of exceptions (like Hole,
and the Cranberries, and the occasional Abba song when I'm
drunk), but generally I can't stand listening to female singers. A male friend
suggests that this is because I am a Pack Leader and no woman
should be howling but me.
I suppose I can
accept that explanation.
2. I have wanted
to learn to joust since I was little. Unfortunately, most places will not teach
women because it's hard to get armor to fit properly over boobs, which can be
problematic if you're hit in the chest with a lance and the armor shifts. You
can actually lose your head that way.
3. I love my
boobs. They're the main thing keeping me afloat in the stormy sea of ED
recovery and Christmas foods. Because with every extra calorie I consume, they get a little larger.
BEAR WITNESS TO
THEIR GLORY
4. I recently
finished writing an entire novel (albeit a children's novel) in two
months. It's the longest book I've ever written (~68,000 words). The entire
thing got started because I saw this photo of Munly at the top of my tumblr dashboard at
2.00 in the morning:
5. People are
constantly telling me that I smell good. I never wear perfume, but instead a
blend of oils (Nag Champa and Night Queen, which I purchase at
Moondancer).
6. One of my
favourite things to do ever is drive aimlessly. I take off early in the morning
and just drive in one direction until I no longer recognize my surroundings,
and then I purposely try to get lost so I can both find new interesting places
and also find my way home without maps or GPS. At this point, I know almost
every back road in a 200-mile radius. I can also get to Philadelphia and back
without ever getting on a highway.

7. My hair
colourist probably knows more about my private life than anyone else.
8. Sometimes
when no one else is home, I put Beethoven or Verdi or something
similar on the huge stereo in the living room (with the surround sound) and
blast it loud enough to shake the house. The neighbours have complained about this more than once.
9. Currently 9
out of my 10 fingers have wounds that refuse to heal, as a result of the
combination of the dryness caused by central heating and my inability to stop
picking at the cuts and cracks. My knuckles are all cracked as well. This is
the second year in a row that the splits and cracks on my thumbs did not heal
in the spring/summer, so I have now had open wound(s) on my thumbs for a
straight 25 and a half months. Big Sis#2 has the same problem, except her hands
look like they're coated in chalk. Because of this, we now refer to each other
as The Leper (me) and Asbestos-Hands (BigSis2).
I'd post
pictures but trust me no one wants to see that.
10. My Boss is
dating an ex-porn star. Like legit.
She's friends
with Jenna Jameson and everything.
11. I'm hungry.
Someone make me a sandwich.
And Clytie's
questions:
1. Most prized
possession?
As a
hoarder, this is a difficult question to answer...
If my house was
on fire and I only had time to grab one thing (after grabbing the cats
obviously, but I don't count them as possessions because technically I am their
possession), I think it would be the Alethiometer.
Dunno why, I
just love it...
2. Where do you
see yourself in 3 months?
Idk? Hopefully
not exactly where I am now, but I feel like that's the most likely.
3. In a year?
Hopefully on my
way the f*ck out of New Jersey. Operation Move To Colorado is in the works...
4. Favorite
article of clothing?
The Baroque
gowns:
5. Biggest vice?
Smoking I guess.
6. Best day of
your life?
I'm still
waiting for that one to happen.
7. Worst day?
The day my cat
died.
8. If you could
choose how and when you die?
In battle, on a Friesian, with
a sword.
9. What is the
worst thing your illness has caused you to do?
Cut myself off
from nearly all of my friends in favour of a hermetic life.
10. Favorite
song?
There are sooooo
many! I can't choose this on my own, so I shall consult itunes....
...There is a three-way tie for Most Played songs: my fav Queen song, WovenHand, and my absolute favourite piece of Classical music ever.
11. Biggest
secret?
That will follow
me to my grave.
So I'm supposed
to nominate 11 people. To make this as fair as possible, I'm going with the
last 11 commenters on this blog (skipping those who I know did this already,
and skipping Suldog because I think he swore off surveys...):
Kazehana
Aaaaaaaaaaand
now 11 questions for you gorgeous people:
1. Who's your
favourite Batman villain?
2. Who is the
rightful ruler of Westeros?
3. You're stuck
in the booby-trapped home of the bad guy from The Collector, and locked
in a room with your neighbour's annoying and kind of vicious dog, a bully from
your grade school years, and a relative you really can't stand. You happen to
stumble upon a way of escape, but there's only time to grab one of the others
in the room to save them before the booby-trapped room kills the other two. Who
do you save?
4. You're having
a grand ol' time at a party when suddenly the zombie apocalypse strikes.
Luckily, everyone at the party has awesome survival skills, and most of them
brought food, water, weapons, and camping gear with them in their cars. If you
leave with them now, you WILL survive the zombies and get to a safe place
somewhere in the wilderness.
...However,
your family is
still in your house, over an hour from where you are now, and much closer to the city (which is obviously filled with many more zombies than the suburbs or the
country, where you are). And you have the family's only working vehicle.
What do you do?
Stay with the other survivors, or risk everything to go back for your loved
ones who may, in all likelihood, be overrun by zombies already?
5. What's your
favourite bird?
6. Do you
believe that dragons and unicorns once existed, sometime long, long ago?
7. Have you ever
thought about robbing a bank? How would you do it?
8. Yay, you
found a genie!
Make three
wishes.
9. Do you have
any strange phobias?
10. Under pain
of torture and death, you must choose between spending twenty-four hours in a bathtub
full of wolf spiders, or marrying into Honey Boo Boo's family and spending the rest of your life under house arrest in their home. What do you pick?
11. It's
nighttime and you're leaving the mall to hurry to your car, which is parked in
a dark and empty corner of a sketchy parking garage. A nerdy-looking man nearby is trying to
load some heavy shopping bags into the trunk of his car, but he's having a very
hard time of it because he has a big cast on one arm. He ends up dropping half
of his stuff all over the ground.
Do you stop and
help him?
I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season! ♥
