    (btw, I'm exceptinsects over there too, and I'll probably post about once a year like I do here.)

    Interview questions from tofty
    (1) Tell me about one of your superstitions, if you have them.
    I am superstitious about many things, in spite of (because of?) being an atheist. One of them is that when you go over a cattle crossing or a railroad track in a car, you have to lift your feet. If not, Dire Things will occur. If you miss one, though, you can fix it by doing the next one.

    (2) What's your favorite love song?
    Chariots Rise, by Lizzie West. (O, sigh)

    (3) If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability or quality, what would it be?
    Oh, wow. I think I would have to go with flying.

    (4) Describe one of the best days you've ever had.
    Okay, well, as a rule I am not the outdoorsy type, but sometimes my mom will persuade me to go on one of her backpacking trips in the High Sierra.
    Right, so one year we went, and I was hiking with two family friends, a boy about my age and his grandfather, who are two of the more interesting people I know, and we had a long and convivial conversation as we went along.
    And then, at the end of the hike we came out at this tiny lake right under the sky, with a view all down the mountain and into the land beyond, and these clouds that you could almost reach. It felt like any moment gravity could reverse itself and I might just float off into the air.

    (5) What fandom do you most enjoy, and why?
    Hm, this is a difficult one. In general, whatever fandom my favorite writers are writing in, since I'm really more of a fan of the fanfiction itself rather than the source in most cases.
    But, I especially like SGA because of all the wacky AUs. (They're dog walkers! or musicians! or chefs! LOVE IT ALL.)



    I don't know if anyone really reads this, but hey if you do and you want me to ask you some questions, go ahead and comment!  Questions are awesome.

    Maybe you should get that translated
    I was working at the library yesterday, and a lady came in with a shirt on that said (in Japanese script, which I can read) "WATASHI (heart) YAOI".

    Me: "Oh, cool shirt"

    Her: "Oh thanks!  I have no idea what it says though, I think it means I like some particular kind of anime, but I don't know what kind."

    Me: "Oh, really? Huh."

    Reading Meme!
    These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.

    I know I've read either Love in the Time of Cholera or One Hundred Years of Solitude, but I can never remember which one.

    When nerdy people talk dirty
    him: Stickler for hyphens, eh? Can I say that I'm not TOTALLY surprised?

    me: (falls about laughing)
    I probably over-use the hyphen, it's true.

    him: Well, for a woman obsessed with serial commas, a HYPHEN, in all its intrusive glory, must be irresistible.

    me: ahem. sometimes a hyphen is just a hyphen...

    him: Or a long, sleek DASH--

    me: you mean...an EM-dash?

    Current Mood: amused

    What my deal is
    So basically, I just randomly go and friend people who I think are interesting, so I can find them again. I hope this isn't violating some kind of LJ manners.
    I don't really write things on here because I'm lazy, and also I don't have a whole lot to talk about.
    So if you find I friended you, don't feel obliged to reciprocate at all, I won't be offended.

    Current Mood: explicatory
    Current Music: Casa Nova by Mia Doi Todd
