Four (more) Facts and Please Tumblr Your Mobile App Eats Our Posts and It Sucks!!!!

3. I am an unwilling morning person. I just wake up with the sun regardless of how tired I am or what time I slept and it’s ok most of the time, but on those nights when I’m up late (reading fic), it’s the pits.

4. Felicity Smoak is my spirit animal. Sinceriously, I haven’t felt this akin to a character since Anne Shirley of Green Gables. I am a relatively nerdy girl with trademark glasses and ponytail/topknot who loves pops of bright color, classy-conservative-yet-sexy fashion, who is only now delving into the fun of lipstick, but more importantly I hope, like Felicity, to make a difference in the world by making it a little better and a little brighter for everyone I meet by sharing my talents and having faith in the good.

5. I got bit three times by a bug I didn’t recognize and *still* after 3 days the bites are still fucking itchy and splotchy :(

6. I have recently got into zumba dance fitness and my co-workers have named me and my zumba friends the “zumbies” XD I really think I have found how I can enjoy exercise, but I hope I can also delve into jogging at least.

Tumblr, I love you and your time-sucking awesomeness, but this eating of posts is SO not cool! Please fix? Gracias!

Replies to replies - Mobile Edition

There's really no way to reply on a mobile device (can't even do it manually by copying and pasting, augh), so this is the best I can do: laffinggasses, why IS Oliver hanging out in a library, hmm? And yes, that notebook. Hmmm. /annoying "I know but you'll have to read to find out" answer ;) eyrk01, this was not quite the Felicity I was expecting, but you're right. She does give that classic movie vibe. (Maybe I'm channeling a little Hildy Johnson from His Girl Friday? ;) ) ... Not Oliver though, I don't think. Uh, he doesn't have that vibe, does he? :)

QUESTIONS FOR ME TO ANSWER

1. What’s the last song you sung or hummed out loud?

I'm listening to I Will Follow You into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie right now, so I'm just going to hum a little to answer this. ^_~ 2. What’s the last show, movie, or book that made you think about it for days after you finished it?

Does Arrow count? I credit the fandom for fueling my thoughts on it, though. 3. What’s one guilty pleasure?

I try not to feel guilty for my pleasures. ^_^ I want to enjoy what makes me happy without shame, 'cause dangit, we need that. However, sometimes junk food makes me feel a twinge of guilt. ^_~ 4. You had a bad day at work or school. You come home and immediately…do what?

Depends what kind of bad. Some kinds of bad clings to the dark corners of my mind, that I have to just unload it somehow, usually through writing. Other kinds of bad just requires... numbing, needing some sort of reprieve to recuperate. So I turn to TV. And then there's the usual bad where I huff and puff and blow a piggie's house down get grumpy and just ride it out.

5. Do you still have friends from high school?

I do, actually. 6. If you have a favorite place, what is it? If you could make up a favorite place, what would it look like?

I don't have a favorite place, but if I had to make one up, it'd be.. pretty. .. Oh, oh, oh. I love the view from Griffith's Park Observatory. I think the night view of downdown LA is gorgeous. I think... nature, night skies, big gold-silver moon, tiny lights. Yeah. That makes me happy.

7. What’s your ultimate comfort food?

Ice cream. Chocolate. Junk foooood.

8. What’s one thing you’ve regretted doing?

I've probably regretted more that I didn't do than what I've done. 9. What’s one thing you’ve regretted NOT doing?

Carp. I didn't see this question coming. LOL. I regret... not telling people things, I think, in my youth. 10. You have to pitch your own TV show. What’s it about?

Uh. Uh. Dragons. Female shapeshifting dragons. Who go around and kick butt. I don't know. XD 11. If you could change the ending to any book, which book would it be?

I don't have any specific book in mind, but I'd change the ending of a book that was sad for no other reason because "that's how real life is." Note: this is not the same as books with unhappy endings where the payoff is angst or heartbreak.

Rules

In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way.
 Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you.

Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie

James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl

Oddkins: A Fable for All Ages by Dean Koontz

Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls

Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole

Something About You by Julie James

Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

The Fallen by Charlie Higson

Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer

The Courage to Write by Ralph Keyes

Okay, these were really random. Most of these books came to mind because they have associated memories (a bedtime story Mom read to us as kids; one of my favorite teachers reading this particular book during story time; the first time a romance reader came up to me in the bookstore and we started chatting and she recommended this particular book). I also threw in two non-fiction books, because I was starting to struggle. (I recommend #10 to anyone who writes, though.)

To be honest, I'm a one night stand kind of gal with most of my books. :-P I enjoy the reading, there's an awesome afterglow that may or may not last more than a day... and then I'm on to looking for another. >_> (Sometimes I'll come across an old book on my shelf, and only then remember the good times we had, and ...give it another go. ;-) )

I tag bluemoonfireworks, theeverlea, eyrk01, eufry, and voubledision.
