Righto, then...

Tagged by the nefarious eswaldo. :-P

Rules of the game:

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag eight people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people. Or not, who cares. If you do not want to do it, you do not have to. IT is not really like I can make you.


1. What are your reasons for having an LJ?
It's sort of a haven. I joined to look for kindred spirits and to have a place where I could talk about anything, be it day-to-day stuff or things I wouldn't really talk about anywhere else. Yay for filters!

2. What do you do before bedtime?
Usually I'll read a bit, or play video games, or surf the net. (I try to stick to reading, though, otherwise I stay up too late for my own good.)

3. What will your dream wedding be like?
I don't really dream about weddings. If I hook up with someone worth having one with, I imagine it'd be something that pleased us both.

4. What is the city of your dreams and why?
The literal answer to this is Quixotica, capital city of the Netherverse (it was mine before the Chronicles of Riddick people took it, dammit!!!), which is a place made up of all of the places people have forgotten. I will one day write a book about it. However, of the places in this world that I've actually physically traveled to, I'm particularly fond of Chicago and Munich.

5. Is there a special song out there that inexplicably describes your life/love life/hate life?
This one for life. (No, I'm not providing a translation.  Look it up if you're curious. :-P).  For love, if I were in a bitter, melodramatic mood, I'd say this one, but this one is more accurate of actual love. This one for hate.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Neither. It's loving someone who loves you back. And I mean the real thing, not what soap operas, romance novelists, etc. try to pass off as it.

7. Do you trust easily?
To an extent yes, but past a certain point, no.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Experiance has taught me caution... Perhaps a little more of it than is really good for me. But generally, I'd try to discreetly find out if they were poly and whether the interest was returned. Or, alternatively, whether the attachment was serious. If it was and they weren't poly, I couldn't rightly do anything but respect that.

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
I get a little lonely for RL company that is my age and not related to me, sometimes... Okay, often. But that's going to be remedied.

10. What is your best quality?
Hard to say. :-? Probably the fact that if everyone's panicking, or emotions around me are otherwise running high and negative, I'm normally the person who's calm. It's like a switch gets flipped and I go cold. After that it's hard to ruffle me.

11. How easily do you forgive?
At this point in my life, it takes something pretty bad for me to even feel like anything would need forgiving, but once that line is crossed, it takes either a lot of time or an act of equal or greater good for me to forgive a person.

12. How do you see yourself?
I could steal eswaldo's answer (cheeky devil), but I won't. :-P Sometimes I'm a clown, sometimes I'm an artist, sometimes I'm a sister, occasionally I'm a warrior, or a teacher, or a lover, or a cold-hearted bitch. I think, though, that life is there for the learning and experiencing, so I'm a student first and foremost.

13. Of all places in the world, real or imaginary, where do you feel like you belong?
Well, if there are people there, it depends on what kind of people they are. Take away people, and I can belong anywhere.

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Pretty cool. I think we'd probably get along well if we ever met.

15. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
In all honesty, single and rich. I've been married and it wasn't all that worth it. I haven't been rich, so I'd like to give that a try. ;-)  On the other hand, if I hooked up with the <i>right</i> someone...

16. Do you cook? What's the most memorable thing you have ever cooked or bake?
I can cook a little bit. I can make a mean dinner out of instant pasta and other random things that happen to be on hand. Most recently, tuna, black olives, various herbs, spices and some provolone cheese.

17. Do you ever wonder if the way you see things visually aren't how other people see them? 
I have, yes.And actually, sometimes I can pick up shades of colours that other people don't see. If I let myself really notice it, it can be a little bit like living inside a Maxfield Parrish painting... Or maybe it's just that they don't pay attention much themselves, I'm not sure.

18. What kind of sounds are the most annoying?
Anything simultaneously repetitive and loud.

19. Are you happy with your current job?
Usually, but it's not what I want to do with the rest of my life.

20. What were your parents going to name you if you'd been born the opposite sex?
I don't remember. :-?
