PSA

RACHAEL IS AN EVIL WITCH WHO FORCED ME TO WATCH NEW GIRL AND IS LAUGHING AT ME BECAUSE I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH NICK MILLER

[positively-emerald]

Sometimes I forget how married Rachael and I actually are but then I turn on New Girl and we start yelling about how entertaining all the dysfunction is and pretty soon we're separately coming to the conclusion that instead of a Wifey Mansion in Texas, we need a Wifey Loft in California

[positively-emerald]

Things I'm supposed to be doing: Writing an analysis on a short story. Italian. Possibly getting dressed because I'm taking my mom to see Hamlet on stage tonight.

Things I'm actually doing: Sending Rachael pictures of sad posts about Bucky Barnes and cackling maniacally when she yells at me for it.

tagged by rachiistark

1. What was your first fandom?

Star Wars

2. Your first ship and first OTP?

Simba and Nala (I don't casually ship things; it's either OTPs or nothing)

3. Favorite book(s)? Why? 

cannot believe you think I can narrow this down at all and keep it a respectably short length but....(in no particular order)

Good Omens because the Apocalypse shouldn't be hilarious and somehow it was.

The Book Thief because PAIN. LOTS OF PAIN. (also, it's narrated by Death and how often do you see things from Death's perspective?)

The Picture of Dorian Gray because it's the kind of thing I'd expect to see in fiction a lot more modern than when it was written

Airman by Eoin Colfer because it's plausible historical fiction but it also has fantastic elements to it. Plus, there's conspiring. Lots of conspiring.

4. How many hours per day do you think you spend on the computer? (Honesty is the best policy.)

uhhhh, let's see, eight hours for sleep, 30-45 minutes for the dishes, 15-20 minutes for yoga, hour for showering and straightening my hair, 5-8 hours for work so...more than I should? A lot more?

5. In texts/emails/casual online communication, are you a grammar nazi or is punctuation entirely optional? 

Depends on my mood

6. A song that’s stuck in your head right now (or was earlier today/this week/etc.)?

Waves, by Sleeper Agent

7. What is your dream job and why?

I'd love to do something in theater. or anything that would allow me to pet Sebastian Stan's face because reasons

8. Do you believe in love at first sight?

eh, I believe in attraction at first sight, which is one of the first steps to love

9. Do you change your hairstyle a lot?

nah. I'm very much a creature of habit.

10. Favorite types of clothing? (Doesn’t have to be something you wear yourself.)

I love short-ish skirts and high heels but it hasn't been warm enough for me to wear them (you'd never know it if you saw me on the street though)

11. What was the last movie you watched and did it make you want to rip your heart out and bury it because it would be less painful than that film? 

Iron Man 3 and no, but I did make some pretty horrifying sad faces when he said "Honey, I can't sleep."

Questions

1. why'd you first join tumblr?

2. science fiction or fantasy?

3. what book are you reading right now?

Thanks etaintur-mukan for tagging me! :)

1. What is your Patronus? (If this means nothing to you, if you were an animal, what would you be?)

Hahaha probably a British bulldog…after seeing YouTube compilations of their antics I’ve pretty much decided that in a former life I was one. XD Either that or a whale. Because I sleep like one. Heh. Imagine that for a moment - a whale Patronus. It would be huuuuge.

2. What color lightsaber would you want and why? (Hit up Wookieepedia if you want to get really nerdy about it.)

I did a quiz recently which was ‘what colour would your lightsaber be?’ and I got orange, because I’m quite conflicted (I can’t make decisions) and tend to move towards the light side, if grudgingly. I like green as well though because it would match my eyes?

3. What book did you last read for pleasure?

Panic by Lauren Oliver. Seriously good book, basically it’s about this contest called Panic that high school seniors play in the summer after graduation for a cash prize. And all the challenges have to do with fear and doing scary things. It’s deeper than that but I’m bad at summaries. :P

4. What was the worst book you had to read for a class?

I’ve never actually hated a book we’ve had to read for class, but I remember once we were reading a book that had a threesome sex scene in it, and just in the middle of the action an 11 year old from lower down in the school knocked on the door and came in to see the teacher and she was like ‘STOP READING GUYS!!’ After he’d left we all cried with laughter. Poor guy didn’t know what he’d walked in on.

5. What car do you drive? If you don’t have a car, what car would you want to drive?

Currently don’t drive, but…I’d like something high up and big, like a Range Rover or a pickup truck or a Nissan Juke (which I have a soft spot for). But at the same time I’d like something small and nippy like a Fiat or something.

6. What is your favorite place to eat?

My bed. Not an answer? Hm. Okay, uh…I like anywhere with a nice atmosphere. And good company is very important.

7. What is your favorite Pokemon?

Don’t know sorry, don’t play :P

8. What is your favorite Toonami show? If you don’t know what Toonami is, just type: I’m too young to know what Toonami is.

Haha I don’t but I think it’s because I’m British? I’m just gonna say Star Wars: The Clone Wars and hope they even air that. XD

9. What is epidemiological shift?

I would assume when…a disease moves from one phase into another? I’m guessing from the nomenclature. Someone let me know if I’m right?

10. Do you like poetry?

Love it!

11. Do you have a particular piece of writing you’re really proud of?

My BFRB awareness week poem, and…my Mereel piece for my Nulls ‘Shadows’ fanfic series. And my Bly/Aayla fanfic ‘Storm’. Anything else I just want to go back and fix at some point. XD

My 11 questions:

1. What’s your current addiction/guilty pleasure? 2. Favourite Star Wars movie and why? 3. How would you describe your best friend? 4. What was the last thing you bought? 5. Do you have a favourite place to hang out? 6. Are you a morning person or a night owl? 7. Who would you least like to be stuck on a desert island with and why? 8. Three things you would grab in a fire? 9. Do you go out on Friday nights or stay in? 10. If you could choose anywhere, where would you want to live? 11. What is your favourite emotion?
