Tag! I’m it!
I was tagged in this by Devil-Inside-Her last night (thanks hon!), and after having all day at work to mull it over, I'm finally getting a chance to answer!
1.) Why did you choose your URL?
Well, truthfully, Keliana was the name I'd bestowed upon my Shaman in Retail WoW, and I created this tumblr account specifically so I could have a photo-sharing service to post private screen shots. It's evolved since then. ^_^
I have absolutely no memory about the significance of the 856 part.
2.) What is your middle name?
Weiser. It was given to me in honor of my German ancestry, though I've yet to find out from where and when that lineage specifically hails. I'd make a joke about being the heir to the Bud Weiser fortune if I weren't so staunchly opposed to consuming beer on just about every conceivable level.
3.) If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?
Erm... I honestly don't know. The only thing that comes to mind would be a regular cat. Derp.
4.) Favourite colour?
Either a gentle teal green or a mauve purple. Combining the two is nifty!
5.) Favourite song?
Hoooooot diggity, here's the big one. I honestly really did try to keep this list small, but after thinking about it all day, I ultimately wound up making some painful cuts just to keep it down to a top 20. But if I wound up as the last surviving human on a holocaust-ravaged Earth, and I only had enough memory on my phone to save 20 songs from all of humanity's libraries, these would be my personal picks. (This week.) And I made sure to only select one song per artist / franchise, too! In no particular order, they are:
• "Stealing the Enterprise" by James Horner - "Home is where the heart is? I'm coming home Tara, I'm coming home!"
• "Space Lion" by Yoko Kano - "And then she would smile. Oh, what a smile! So sad... So beautiful."
• "Souls' Torment" by Russell Brower - "I see... only darkness... before me..."
• "Sound of Da Police" by KRS-One - "Yeah, 'Officer' from 'Overseer'! You need a little clarity? Check the similarity!"
• "Salva Nos (Fiction Edit)" by Yuki Kajiura - "Noir: It is the name of an ancient fate. Two maidens who govern death. The peace of the newly born, their Black Hands protect."
• "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel - "I'm never going back, the past is in the past!"
• "Someone Like You" by Adele - "Don't forget me, I beg! I remember you said 'Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.' "
• "Under Your Spell" by Amber Benson - "How else could it be, anyone would notice me? It's magic I can tell..."
• "Amazing Grace" by David Tolk (Piano) - "How sweet the sound..."
• "Love Will Come To You" by the Indigo Girls - "I say love will come to you, Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true, As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through, Where there's now one there will be two."
• "Brackish" by Kittie - "Take so much away from Inside you, Makes no sense, You know he can't guide you"
• "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson - "It's all relative to the size of your steeple; You can't see the forest for the trees, And you can't smell your own shit on your knees."
• "Angel" by Massive Attack - "Her eyes, She's on the dark side... Neutralize Every man in sight"
• "Bent" by Matchbox 20 - "I'm so scared that I'll never Get put back together. Yeah, you're breaking me in, And this is how we will end: With you and me... bent."
• "The Stranger" by Melissa Ferrick - "You know I never waited for anyone and I was always right, But ya, now I give up I surrender, I would wait for you... forever."
• "10th Man Down" by Nightwish - "Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust, Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore!"
• "The Asteroid Field" by John Williams - "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand seven hundred and twenty to one!" "Never tell me the odds."
• "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins - "You'll never know what you can do, Until you get it up as high as you can go!"
• "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers - "I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else, Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same."
• "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls - "When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."
You can listen to the entire playlist on Youtube!
6.) What are your top five fandoms?
Buffy, Star Trek, Star Wars, WoW, and... Yuri. No specific franchise for that last one, just give me two engaging gals in love and I'm there.
7.) Why do you enjoy Tumblr?
For me, it's a source of news and information, a means of keeping in contact with some awesome people, a way of expressing my thoughts and opinions, and an endless font of new ideas and old standards constantly mixing and meshing in a delightful goulash of content.
8.) Now here I'm supposed to tag some people.
Hmm. How about grimtalker, thesilencedscream, bridges---and---balloons, bringmeadream, and anyone else who wants to! Just add me in the tags so I can know when you post it, pretty please. ^_^
