Rules: Answer 21 questions, then tag 21 people you want to get to know better.
Tagged By: @janetcarter Thank you! And I’m sorry I’ve taken ages to respond to this.
Nickname: Rin, Ari, Skye, Liz... and a couple of others that are currently reserved for specific people :)
Zodiac: Chinese is year of the dog. Astrology stuff is a close call between Capricorn and Aquarius but I think I’m just inside the bounds of Capricorn.
Height: 157 cm, I think. Something around there. About 5′2″ for Americans.
Last Movie I Saw: The Matchbreaker because of Christina Grimmie. (I assume this means watched in whatever capacity and not “saw at the cinema” because I’d have to think more on the latter. Cannot in good faith recommend The Matchbreaker but whatever, I had it on one of my monitors while I was mostly doing something else.)
Last Thing I Googled: “Mayonnaise” because of this video of a guy cracking up over an article about “Millenials Killing Mayo!” At the end of the article the writer claims aioli and mayonnaise are essentially the same thing, which, nope. Wikipedia says so.
Favorite Musician: I don’t really have a single favorite; I kind of cycle through them. Right now it’s Kacey Musgraves and I Draw Slow.
Song Stuck In My Head: Uh, nothing at the moment. Surprisingly.
Other Blogs: @tryingthisfangirlthing for all things fandom, @fromasmallinkwell (long-neglected) for my original writing, and @sanctuarynetworkdatabase because sometimes I’m a little insane.
Do I Get Asks? On occasion. Most often fic prompts/requests, but on occasion in response to an ask game or something similar.
Following: 346 (half of them probably MIA at the moment because it doesn’t feel like that many)
Followers: 84 at the moment
Amount of Sleep: Currently varies wildly. I’m attempting to get my life and daily schedule back under control. :P
Lucky Number: I don’t really subscribe to the concept, but if I had a weakness for a particular number, probably 7. (I’m sure it’s such a surprise.)
What I’m Wearing: White t-shirt with a blue/green floral thing partially printed on it, underthings, headphones, a blanket (I’m at home on my bed and I hate jeans.)
Dream Job: In the process of figuring that out. Something with my hands, where I’m not banging my head against a computer screen half the time. I do like metal and electricity, though, so something in a more technical direction.
Dream Trip: Berlin, England, Wales, Paris, Pompeii, Egypt. Friends and ancient ruins, basically. ^^
Favorite Food: I think it’s a toss-up between baby carrots, ripe peaches, and dark chocolate with hazelnuts.
Play Any Instruments? Kind of. I have an electric keyboard, but I haven’t actually played seriously since 6th grade. I taught myself a little guitar a few years back but that’s also faded.
Languages: English is my native tongue, but I speak fluent German, and some French. At some point in the future I want to look at learning more languages again. (Right now concentration and motivation need to be directed elsewhere, though.)
Oh, and does my own conlang count? (It’s not an actual developed, fully-functional language yet, But I’m adding to it as needed, for this fic as well as some original stuff.)
Favorite Songs: These tend to cycle as well. Current highlights include Alpenglow by Nightwish, I Said Hi by Amy Shark, and Dear Me by Nichole Nordeman.
Random Facts: I’m trying to think of things y’all don’t already know by now.
1. I once tried to create a pen & paper roleplaying system to allow a friend of mine to be able to concentrate on worldbuilding which she loves. It did not ever see the light of day, but she wants to take the project in a different direction that I am rather enthused about.
2. I constantly start and stop projects, or rather take the first couple of steps and then lose focus: fanvidding and game-making included. (I have started on a few text-based games with Twine, and looked at video processing software but got Intimidated. :$) I wish I wasn’t like that but apparently I am. Coming to terms with things, it’s a process.
3. I like to joke, more or less, that a TV show made me gay, and while it’s not quite true about the show itself, it was queer f/f fanfic that really deconstructed my internalized homophobia and showed me I might be able to relate. I honestly owe fandom so very much.
4. I have a balcony but I never really use it. I feel kind of bad about that.
Describe Yourself As Aesthetic Things: Oh goodness, like a moodboard? Circuitboards, snakes, cargo jeans, stacks of books, plush puppy, flogger, blanket cloak, gremlin cave, queer kissing and snuggling.
Tagging: I don’t know 21 people, plus I think @janetcarter tagged half of the people I know... @la-vie-en-lys @the-goofball @sistersin7 @ifourmindbeso @viennainspringtime @ciara-jane No need to participate if you don’t want, and if you feel like doing this, please consider yourself tagged!
