I was tagged by @inelegantprose and @loveth1s, and this looked like fun, so:
Five things you’ll find in my bag
Keys (work and house keys have multiple keychains, including Lego bunhead Leia and Lego Hoth Leia, and car key has a Lego Wonder Woman keychain)
Phone (it’s pink! I love my pretty pink phone)
A pile of lipsticks in various colors
A little mirror compact with sparkly lips on the front (gift from my best friend since fourth grade, whom I still adore)
Nice earbuds that the husband gave me for Mother’s Day
Five things you’ll find in my bedroom
Wigs. One was my for serious wig from chemo several years ago (it was a good one, people kept complimenting me on my new haircut), and then I have my bright pink one (gift from a friend, I adore it), a wig that was my mom’s back in the early ‘70s, and the wig that goes with my Princess Leia costume.
The Lego Research Lab set with the female scientists.
About 7 journals that are partially written in--I have to hold myself back from buying new ones.
A shelf full of books, including a number of books of poetry (Sandra Cisneros, Anne Sexton, ee cummings, Naomi Shihab Nye)
Some photographs of cairns I bought from a photographer friend.
Five things I’ve always wanted to do
Write a book. Hopefully I will eventually make that happen.
Travel! I haven’t been out of the country in a really long time; that whole working and adulting thing keeps getting in the way. Also, money.
Play in a band with other women.
Get a tattoo. I think I’m going to do it eventually, just not sure where and of what.
Make a movie, or at the very least write one.
Five things that make me happy
Friends, both IRL and virtual. Family.
Star Wars. Han/Leia. Cool fanfic stuff.
Creating things. Thinking up new ideas.
Eating brunch. Actually, I’m pretty into most meals, but brunch is the best because the food is good, and there’s good coffee, and you get to relax with friends, and sometimes there are mimosas too.
Using my brain to have fun, e.g. think up “what ifs” to some crazy scenario or make jokes about something, or figure out some kind of connection. (I might be just a LITTLE nerdy.) And sharing these things with other people who then add their little twists to it. (See, “why I use Tumblr possibly more than is strictly healthy.”)
Five things I’m currently into
Star Wars (duh). Mostly the usual, but I got on a tear recently thinking about bringing back some of the EU Jedi for a future fic of mine and thus have been reading up on Tenel Ka in particular. And a little Kyp Durron too.
Also, I started reading some of the Star Wars comics and am hooked. Han Solo #1 was really good.
Wonder Woman. I have been into WW forever, but the movie just hit all the buttons for me.
Having random solo dance parties while cleaning or while driving in the car.
Cuddling with my kiddo, a sweetheart and very into being cuddled.
Five things on my to do list
Finish several things at work that I just haven’t been getting to. Scheduling a bunch of meetings, writing up a board report, etc.
Clean the house before my parents visit this weekend (they don’t really care, and would never say anything, but I prefer not to have it look like a pit)
Pay some bills. #adulting bleah
Finish my shorter WIP fic and start the longer one. And probably acquiesce to my impatient brain and start writing down some scenes for the sequel I TOLD MYSELF I WASN’T GOING TO WORK ON RIGHT NOW but apparently has a mind of its own.
Get an appointment to get my hair done again. My former stylist moved to a salon all the way across town and I can actually see my gray hairs. I want the red and the blonde highlights and the purple highlights back.
Hmm, who to tag...uh, how about @generalherasyndulla, @hanorganaas, @onwardintolight, @drinkupthesunrise, @imaginationallcompact, and whoever else wants to play. (And if you’ve already done this or just don’t wanna, no pressure!)
