Quiz!
18 years ago
General
Edited because I realized I left another person's answer in by mistake.
I don't like "memes", but honestly, the idea of a personal quiz or survey being a "meme" is something I don't quite agree with. So in the interest of having something on my journal that relates to -myself- rather then to some FA drama event...
1. Can you cook?
I am completely helpless in the face of food preparation.
2. What was your dream growing up?
When I was -little-, Marine Biologist. (amusingly, my niece is going through the same phase now) Later, astrophysicist. Then I wanted to be a Fiction writer. Then a Journalist. Then after my first attempt at college, comic artist. Now, I want to be a comic writing journalist with a masters in astrophysics.
Maybe a minor in marine biology...
3. What talent do you wish you had?
(looks around room) Tidiness.
4. Favorite place?
Don't really care where I am, so much as who I'm with.
5. Favorite vegetable/s?
Er...Those are those green things, right?
6. What was the last book you read?
If you mean the last book I -finished-, "The Darwin Awards, volume 4". If you mean the last book I read words from (excluding my Calculus textbook) that would be "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.
7. What zodiac sign are you?
Leo
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
No, I find permanent modifications to one's body are rather a bad idea, since I can say without hesitation that I would not trust the me of five years ago with my body today, and I'm pretty sure the me of five years from now would say the same thing.
9. Worst Habit?
Procrastination.
10. What was the last thing you touched besides the keyboard?
GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!
11. What is your favorite sport?
I suck at it (and have a bad knee, so I can't play anymore) but I still have a weak spot for tennis. I appreciate martial arts, but not as a sport.
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude?
I'm a bit of an idealist. A lot of my view of the world comes from a basic belief that it is freaking -amazing- that we're here at all. (Note I didn't say "miraculous", there's a reason for that.)
13. Can you eat 50 hot wings?
No, and I wouldn't care to.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
High School.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
(editing this one) I nest. By which I mean, I tend to gather all the things I might need for say, a week to come, and put them all within arms distance. Then I have a habit of not putting them away. Hence, I really wish I had that "tidiness" attribute modifier.(/edit)
16. Do you have any pets?
At the moment, we have a dog named Annie, with whom I have something of a love-hate relationship.
17. What’s the weirdest pet you’ve owned?
(edit) Geez. I missed two of these? Weirdest pet...I used to have a cat named tyche who was slightly cross eyed. She had poor depth perception, so she'd go -careening- through the house, then go to jump on the kitchen counter and -sail- over it, (or come short and smack into the side) It was kindof funny, actually. She was a really sweet cat, tho, and very soft and cuddly.
I really miss having cats. (glares at Annie, then pets her anyway)(/edit)
18. Where are you?
In MAH BED.
19. What is the dumbest thing you’ve done while intoxicated?
A prerequisite of this is having actually -been- intoxicated.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
Body Hair. Less of it. I'd like to ditch the beard, but I'm too damn lazy to shave.
21. Weapon of choice?
Sketchbook of thwapping.
22. What color eyes do you have in real life?
Blue
23. Ever been arrested?
Only in my development.
24. Bottle or Draft?
I'm opposed to the draft. I don't think you should fight for something you don't believe in. Bottles, on the other hand, are good for putting tiny model ships in, and tiny model ships are cool.
25. If you found a $100 bill on the ground, what would you do?
First impulse, look around and see if anybody nearby could have dropped it. Then I'd probably keep it and feel guilty about it.
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew?
Watermelon. For chewing gum, I like spearmint.
27. Where’s your favorite place to hang out?
Anywhere I can plug into the web. Lately I spend time in the lounge area of the Student Union at my Uni.
28. Do you like your room cold or hot?
Cool. Cold is only fun if I don't have to get out of bed, but hot is -always- intolerable.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Draw smut, play videogames, particularly Dead Rising or City of Heroes, chat on the web with friends.
30. Do you swear a lot?
Used to swear a -lot-, but I'm more mild then I was. Still don't hold my tongue often unless I'm around someone that could be offended. (or small kids.)
31. Biggest pet peeve?
People that stop and wait when you're turning onto a street. I realize they're trying to be nice, but 90% of the time, they're just blocking my view and holding up traffic. First car accident I was ever in was because of one of these schmucks.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Ponderous.
33. What’s your shoe size?
13. I's has big feets.
34. Do you have the same features (eye color, body size) as your furry character?
I don't really have a furry avatar, so no.
35. What is your favorite outfit?
For home, pyjamas, silk boxers, tank top. Going out, Fanboy T-shirt, jeans, sandals.
36. Favorite image in all of the internet?
...You're kidding, right?
37. How many windows/tabs do you have open?
3 IM tabs, three browser windows with a total of 11 tabs between them, and an azureus (bittorrent client) window.
38. What's your desktop image?
Keitaro and Narusegawa in kimono watching fireworks, drawn by the great Akamatsu himself. Condensed Love Hina WAFF.
39. What shampoo do you use?
Xian.*
40. What cologne do you use?
Youthful Panda version.*
(*People that know me will get it. ;p People that don't, keep an eye on my gallery, and I'm sure it'll become clear eventually.)
