foolish_m0rtal01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
No. I really like this person, but my inherent pessimism argues very eloquently against any possible reciprocating feelings
02) What was your dream growing up?
Be an astronaut. Dig up artefacts on distant planets! (I wanted to be an archaeo-astronaut. No lie, dude. I was a PBS kid)
03) What talent do you wish you had?
A natural aptitude for mathematics
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
bubble tea! So good!
05) Favorite vegetable?
Bell pepper! Om nom, so crunchy.
06) What was the last book you read?
I've started reading The Swan Thieves by that genius Kostova who wrote The Historian. Last book I finished reading?- Firefly: Those Left Behind, the comic book
07) What zodiac sign are you?
Aquarius. And technically according to where Chinese New Years fell during my year, I'm a snake. Good because I'm definitely more a snake than a horse, but that means I'm Ayame. I...I don't know what to say...
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
Pierced ears, one hole. Was thinking of getting another hole, but it's not professional.
09) Worst Habit?
Hair twirling- been doing it forever. I stop and start.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
No-o. People are highly suspect.
11) What is your favorite sport?
Academic Bowl. I will clean you OUT.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?
Pessimistic, see #1 (sigh)
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
I would probably be taking furious notes in case I ever have to write about a character being stuck in an elevator
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
I don't really care to have this in a meme. Not cool.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
I love puzzle hunts and used to organise and then go thorugh them myself when I was younger. My CS teacher gave us one last semester, and I thought I was going to die of excitement.
16) Do you have any pets?
No, but someday I'm getting a cat!
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
I would freak out and invite you in for tea
18) What was your first impression of me?
I thought you were really interesting and funny (haha, not weird, though a bit of both's always nice) and it was exciting to have someone else to talk to in the fandom
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
I am indifferent. Clowns do not incite emotion in me.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
Maybe make my nose smaller, but I've come to be comfortable with the way I look. (at last I was until I went to college and was forced to eat American food and gained all this damn weight)
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
I'm a big stickler for the rules and ask permission before doing anything. I'd be the annoying moral friend.
22) What color eyes do you have?
Dark brown.
23) Ever been arrested?
No
24) Bottle or can soda?
I don't drink soda, but I'm fond of the bottles
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Put it into savings and gain interest on it. Duh. What do you think?
26) What's your favorite place to hang out at?
Hmm, probably the Pavilion at UVa, just because I've hung out a lot with people there. But in general, usually bookstores or cafes
27) Do you believe in ghosts?
I used to a lot, but I'm not sure really.
28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Sleep and write excessive fanfiction came straight from Sku. Umm, compose music, do digital art stuff with GIMP. Maintain people's websites.
29) Do you swear a lot?
I've come to swear a lot, possibly from being in the engineering school. Both because it makes my life horrible, and I hang out with men all the time. I'm not one of those annoying people that says, "Oh, I'm NOT going to put ANY swearing in what I write." You know what? People swear. The way a person talks can tell you a lot about who he/she is. Swearing's a part of that. Can you imagine Vincent Vega saying gee golly?
30) Biggest pet peeve?
Unreliable people. If you say you're going to show up, SHOW UP. Don't waste my time.
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
My friend is fond of calling me "you goddamn hipster," so I think I'll go with that
32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
"I study what romance is the way a person pores over a textbook. I understand its theory, but little of its practice, and generally I'm too scared to do any labs ont he subejct if you get my drift."
I totally agree with Sku
33) Favourite and least favourite food?
Japanese, Thai, Dim sum!
I don't like stewed okra or the way my mom makes eggplant, but will eat anything else!
34) Do you believe in God?
I don't know anymore. I used to, but it's more in a hypothetical sense, really. I'm really more a woman of science and mathematics.
35) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
Uh, yes? Hoping I did it right?
36) Favourite band(s) of ALL time:
I've been listening to a lot of indie folk. Getting into Noah & the Whale. LOVE The Format, oh so MUCH. Jonathan Coulton is the MAN.
No. I really like this person, but my inherent pessimism argues very eloquently against any possible reciprocating feelings

Date: 2010-05-05 02:45 pm (UTC)I'm also one of the msot unreliable people on the planet, HOW ARE WE FRIENDS? It must be the safe distance of states between us~
^^
YOU AND I WILL GO AND CONQUER DISTANT PLANETS. (And you can be Daniel jackson. I think I'm serving as O'Neill)
no subject
Date: 2010-05-05 03:09 pm (UTC)Yeah, I don't think anybody could fill Carter's shoes. I always felt I would be Zelenka from Atlantis.

Date: 2010-05-05 04:19 pm (UTC)If anyone could fill Carter's shoes out of all the people I know, it'd be you, FM-san, but you wanted to do archeology. Normally, I'd give you mad props for being a less generic!blond Carter. (Except without the nerdy alien men trailing after you, pining to get their hands on your equations, and dying every few episodes)
Of course, if I were attempting (very poorly) to fill O'Neill's shoes, that would make things a bit TOO interesting between us, but regardless...
no subject
Date: 2010-05-05 04:28 pm (UTC)If I were playing a scientist, it would be the slightly downtrodden angry Zelenka. And yes, wouldn't that just make things a little too interesting.
If it's archaeology on alien planets, definitely Daniel Jackson.
Is it bad that I have to call him by his full name like Tealc does? Tealc has got be into the habit of calling some people by their full names though oddly enough, for me it seems to be a sign of affection. I think it's like...calling someone by their first name is really...personal, so if I were close to them, it would be weird. Less personal first and last names make the feelings of attachment more...bearable? Kind of puts a distance between me and the other person.
I am kind of weird...

Date: 2010-05-05 10:48 pm (UTC)Accidentally seducing human-formed replicators, and ambassadors, and police men, and loads and LOADS of scientists since...
Hmm...
I call him by his full name because otherwise I'd feel like I'm telling you to replace Dream of the Endless, and as much as I respect your creativity...
Hmm.
Well let's just say I think you have better interpersonal relations, hm?
Fortunately I HAVE NO LAST NAME, so we're good. I get to be a definite article or soemthing. Like Teal'c. Or Warf. Or dozens of other token alien support staff throughout the ages~
OH SCI-FI~
no subject
Date: 2010-05-06 04:32 am (UTC)Haha, oh, Daniel. How much of a role does he play in the books after Sandman? I don't know much of him, but he seems really interesting.
Either they have really short names or really long names. Teyla Emmagan, daughter of Tagan on Atlantis. On the opposite spectrum, we have Tealc and Hermiod.
OH SCI-FI~
Hey, then I guess this means we would be Fuumu and Sku, space adventurers!
