How old are you? almost 34!

Tattoos? One. It’s two intertwined trinity knots located on my ankle. I want to get another on the other side of that leg of my grad school study organism and DNA, but I need to compose the right image.

Ever hit a deer? Not me, but my husband totaled our car after hitting one.

Ridden in an ambulance? Nope.

Sang karaoke?
Not at a bar. I sing along to music often in the car or with the kids.

Ice skated?
Just started trying more seriously. I sprained my wrist in a fall roller blading, thus I’ve been wicked tentative about ice skating. But, I’m enjoying it and it’s another relatively cheap thing to do in the winter with the kids.

Ridden a motorcycle?
Yes. I owned one (Kawasaki Vulcan 500) and my husband owned an identical bike. I refused to be a passenger and wanted to ride my own, thus why I got one. I would commute with it to college and we did a couple of road trips. Eventually sold it because kids.

I would like to get another, but would go up to a 700. It’s a beautiful way to get around for fun. But riding in hot days, rain and cold totally suck. There is a community around the bikes and there is seriously a secret hand gesture whenever you pass another biker.

Stayed in hospital?
Steven Johnson issues, eye lid surgery, severe allergic reaction to bee stings, and two births 

Skipped school?
As much as I could. I disliked k-12 and wanted to do something else. My mom even took us out one day to go skiing since it just snowed. That day was awesome.
I did a lot better in college and grad school.

Last phone call?
To payroll department trying to figure out when payroll begins.

Last text from? My mom. We are discussing The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane since she suggested that I read the book.

Watched someone die? Not human. I was around when we put down my childhood cat, and that was umm... yah... 

Pepsi or Coke? I prefer not to drink sodas. If forced, I have no preference.

Favorite Pie? Apple, blueberry, blackberry, and chicken pot pie. I dislike pumpkin because of the texture.

Favorite pizza?
White. NO tomatoes.

Despite having limited taste, I will not eat tomatoes. There is something in them which I can detect which is very off-putting and makes me nauseous. I do not eat food that has tomatoes in it. If tomatoes are in a salad, I will pick around them. I’ve done an extensive experiment to determine why I don’t like them and find ways to eat them (this involved a community garden plot and growing 20 different types of tomatoes). I can tolerate black, white and yellow tomatoes, but they aren't something I enjoy. Each year I retry the foods I usually avoid to see if I still don’t like it, and the results are pretty much the same.

Favorite season?
Winter followed by fall

Broken bones?
None.

Received a ticket?
I just got a parking ticket from the university because the lot I parked in before is apparently not available on the weekends for free. Still very much annoyed about this.

Favorite color?
Orange

Sunset or sunrise?
I’ve been a night owl before kids, but I’m beginning to appreciate the sunrise. To me, the light is bluer and happier.

Following Okapi.

 

This was surprisingly difficult and I couldn’t answer some of the questions cause I’ve never thought about it before. It’ll be interesting to fill this out again in a year or two and see how my answers change.

Filling out questionnaires/memes that SmallHobbit finds. :)


1. Fandom crossovers: If you like them, what is your fav, or if not why don't you?
I like ‘em and need to read more of them.

3. Favorite story inspired by/related to a song.
I’ve only done this twice so far. One was for a Watson’s Woe prompt where I used “roll the old chariot” in a fic and got the song stuck in my head for days. The other was based off of “I am a Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel and is unfinished.

4. A piece of music you were unfamiliar with you discovered through fandom/fanfic.
I’m not up on poplar music, so “The Young Men Carbuncular” by PlaidAdder introduced me to Phillip Phillips. I ended up liking his music a lot and made a pandora station.

Gimme Shelter by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John uses Rolling Stones as fic and chapter titles. I realized that I’ve heard some of these songs before but never knew it was them. Other songs I haven’t heard at all. In my defense, they were popular before I was born. :)

24 Caprices and a Bottle of Claret by Okapi uses Paganini’s caprice as inspiration for each chapter. I don’t typically listen to classical music, and learning more about Paganini and his music was a treat.

5. Guilty pleasure movie[s].
The Fifth Element, Princess Bride, Stranger than Fiction, French Kiss

6. What crafty things do you make?
I like to work with my hands and am willing to try just about anything. I’ve done fiber arts (spinning, weaving, crocheting, felting), sewing, needle point, hook rugs, paper making, origami, etc. I don’t knit, but I have friends who are threatening to teach me. One day, I want to learning quilting and pottery.

7. How many cups of coffee/tea does it take to make you human.
I’m on decaf coffee these days, which I’m not entirely sure counts as coffee.

9. How many books do you own/how many of them are paper?
I owned more physical books as a high schooler and they are somewhere. When I went to college I quickly learned that it sucks carrying book boxes when you move once or twice a year. Since my family is still in transition period and haven’t settled on a location, we still keep things relatively portable. I don’t buy physical books or DVDs and prefer to keep things digital. Right now, I have more time for audiobooks and I play those with my phone.
Kid’s books are another thing and we have a bookshelf filled.

10. How many electronic devices do you own that connect to the internet?
Phones, laptops, tablets, and TV. Not counting…

11. Are you interested in swapping hand-made crafty items?
Absolutely! I love making things and receiving handmade stuff. I’m a sucker for knitted socks.
