20 + 5 Questions
Answer 25 questions about yourself then tag 20 people.
I was tagged by the loverly @cloverywands ! Thank you! ^_^
1. Name: Nikki, short for Nichole. I don’t like or go by my full name much, but I do greatly appreciate the “h” in the middle.
2. Nickname: *silently points up to previous answer* Also, Nik for people who think two syllables are too much work, Nikki-Nik from my Dad, Sweetie-Girl or Wicked-Child from my mom, and- my personal favorite- THE NIKIPEDIA, bestowed upon me by my two youngest siblings.
3. Zodiac: Western is Taurus, Eastern is the Boar. No matter the zodiac, I am delicious at a BBQ.
4. Height: 5’4-5′3″ (Morning and evening, respectively.)
5. Languages: English. I took four semesters of Spanish, but have only retained enough to converse poorly with a three year old kid. I also know how to say “I am a bear” in French. This, as you might imagine, has not been particularly helpful to me
6. Nationality: American, with ancestors from *kracks knuckles* Germany, France, Scicily, Ireland, England, Wales, and Scotland at the very least.
7. Favorite season: AUTUMN.
8. Favorite flower: Lotuses/water lilies.
9. Favorite scent: Honestly, petrichor, creeks, swimming pools, sea water, the wind right before a summer storm...any water smell.
10. Favorite color: Blood red. Crimson. That depth of red where your eyes sort of get lost in it.
11. Favorite animal: Wolves and hawks/falcons. (Which I recently learned are not even the taxonomic order!???? WHAT EVEN!) Also I have a soft spot for crows and ravens.
12. Favorite fictional character: *sigh* One? Well, I’d probably say Mara Jade, but seriously anyone who’s followed me or met me knows I got infinite+1 feels for a variety of fictional peeps.
13. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate: TEA. Earl Grey with vanilla is my favorite, with vanilla chai and tropical green tea as runners up.
14. Average sleep: *nervous laughter* *escapes out the nearest window* I dunno, man, I guess on average maybe 7 hours? 6?
15. Dog or cat person: Neither. Not a pet or animal person. Currently live with a very sweet, very old and incontinent cat.
16. Number of blankets: One sheet, three comforters, and FOUR FREAKING PILLOWS. AND I’D HAPPILY TAKE MOAR...
17. Dream trip: I have rather severe control-freak/OCD issues, so it’s hard for me to travel, especially internationally. Domestically, I do love to visit Chicago. Internationally, I would like to go to London, Iceland, and the Faeroe Islands one day.
18. Blog established: Hell if I know. Is there a way to check that or something? Hold on. According to my archive, September 2013. Huh.
19. Followers: 234, according to the thingy-thing on the side.
20. Random fact about me: I do mean (as in surprisingly good) impressions of Louis Armstrong and Disney’s Snow White, and well as mean (as in cruelly mocking) impressions of operatic sopranos and tenors.
• AND NOW FOR THE EXTRA FIVE!
1. Gender: Female
2. Sexuality: Heterosexual but largely unbothered and VERY bitter.
3. Hogwarts House: HUFFLEPUFF ALL THE WAY, BABY! BADGER PRIDE!!! WHOO-HOO!!!
4. Where are you from: N’awlins.
5. Why I started this blog: BECAUSE OF FREAKING HOTELSONG’S AMAZING MEASURE FOR MEASURE POSTS!!! I lurked the “majestic thorin” tag for a while, but I actually got an account on this blue hellsite due to screamingly good Shakespeare meta.
Okay, so there’s no way I’m tagging 20 people in this. First of all, I’m not sure I *know* 20 people here. Second, some of the questions are very revealing (as in you could conceivably track someone down, not OH TUMBLR HERE IS MY INNERMOST SOUL revealing) and I don’t want anyone to feel pressured!
HOWEVER, to any and all of my mutuals and message-correspondence buddies, I’d be delighted to get to know ya better! ^_^
