Five Questions meme
If you want to play, leave a random inane comment and I will ask you five questions, which you will then post the answers to in your journal, along with these instructions.

[lj] Pollinia asked me:

1. You’ve done your share of traveling. Where would you like to go next? Or, is there somewhere you’ve already been where you’d like to return?

I once read an article about Prague in a National Geographic magazine, and ever since, I’ve had an otherwise unqualified desire to go there.  Barring that, I always enjoy a trip to New Orleans.

2. What would your version of hell be? Does it involve office cubicles, yes or no?

I actually don’t mind office cubicles very much!  At least they offer some semblance of privacy, where I can work without the need to keep someone else entertained by wasting precious thinking on small talk.  No, I think if there were a Hell fashioned for me, it could very well focus on relationships gone wrong.  Human relationships may appear to be heart-warmingly steadfast, but I rather think they are inescapably tenuous.  The smallest comment or action can very easily change someone’s perception of you forever, no matter how close you are.  I fear this seemingly unavoidable disaster because it is so unpredictable, yet emotionally painful, so a possible Hell would include the people important to me, only in Hell, those people would no longer want to be around me, and I wouldn’t know why.

3. You live on your own. I bet you cook for yourself! What do you think is your best dish? Like, the one you’d use to impress a boss, or to woo a person of interest (which may or may not be your boss…)?

I actually don’t cook!  I enjoy foods that are simple: rice, steamed veggies, other things that don’t include more than hydration.  It’s not that I don’t like to eat, I just can’t justify spending that much time on something that won’t last.

4. When is your most productive time of day? Why?

I haven’t been very productive at all, lately, but I’d say sometime after 11pm.  If I’m writing, the degree of productivity increases conversely to the amount of sleep I can expect to get on account of it.

5. What is your most embarrassing moment, which you would be willing to share on the internet?

I remember this to be more terrifying than embarrassing, but I”ll have to go with my Intro to Improvisation final exam/performance.  I was really terrible at most of it, and for one of the premises, I didn’t even hear what the situation was supposed to be.  Other than that, I’d have to say everything between 4th and 9th grades.  But really, I’ve never suffered through a moment of sheer embarrassment, and if I have, I’ve successfully repressed its memory.  HUZZAH.

a.) Post a list of 20 fandoms.
b.) Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c.) When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence/paragraph about why you like that character.

Will anyone play? LET’S FIND OUT. I don’t actually know 20 fandoms. I barely even have 20 interests of the fandom sort. So let’s see how many I can name.

1. Star Trek: The Next Generation
2. The Fullmetal Alchemist – Roy.  When Roy was first introduced, I liked him as little as Ed did.  But oh, there was so much more to him.  His arrogance and self-promotion turned out to be surface traits that hid a painful, perhaps shameful past as well as a carefully crafted future.  I love the subtlety to his character.  He rarely acts how he feels.  That’s awesome.
3. Supernatural – Dean.  Oh Dean.  Like Roy, Dean hides a lot under his machismo.  He’s also gorgeous, but rough, and he’ll do anything for his brother.  He feels like he’s got the whole world on his shoulders but he’s accepted it as his duty.
4. Torchwood – Jack.  Jack can be an asshole when he thinks it’s for the best, but his compassion is really very immense.  I love the way that, in spite of his arrogance, he can reach out and connect with people and empathize with them.  I love the way he cares for and about his team.  Also, very attractive.
5. House M.D.
6. Firefly
7. Yami no Matsuei – Tsuzuki.  He has a past that’s at complete odds with his personality.  I SENSE A PATTERN.  I also love that he’s different, and that he’s powerful, but modest.
8. FAKE – Dee.  I love his complete honesty, and his frustration.  I love his devotion and tenacity and the underlying respect that keeps him from being a jerk.
9. Family Guy
10. Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles

Okay, that’s all I can name.

Pilfered from psycholullaby!

Comment, and I’ll reply with a few sentences on why I value you as a friend. Then, post this on your journal so you can do the same to your friends. (Or not.) TURN UP THE POSITIVITY!

Kind of nonsense to judge a person on their name, as illustrated by the half and half accuracy, but whatevs.

What Kristin Means

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge – meaning you don’t spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you’re snobby or aloof, but you’re just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense. [Lol, sooo energetic] You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. [I don't think I get in trouble quite in those terms.] You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package – suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. [lulz what?] You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless – and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You’re most comfortable when you’re far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
