osprey_archerA few days late, because I got distracted by stuff: Sixteen Things You Didn't Know about Me.
1. My favorite color is orange.
2. I’ve recently fallen madly in love with art history. I have not quite reached the “art history major” stage yet, but it’s a distinct possibility.
3. I hate majors. I think I should be able to graduate college with just a collection of minors, because really, what you need in the modern world is to be well-rounded, right? Right? Are you with me? Anyone want to march on the dean’s office with me?
4. My dad used to be dean of freshman engineering at the university where he works. He informs me that marching on the dean’s office will not help. Phooey.
5. I’m probably going to end up overeducated and unemployable, just like Jaye Tyler of Wonderfalls.
6. I occasionally post poems in bathroom stalls, in an effort to spread poetical literacy. I'm running out of poems. Perhaps more Robert Frost would be good?
7. I'm very shy. I didn't use this LJ for years because I was sure it would be a colossal failure that no one would read, and everyone on LJ would hate me. How an LJ no one read could make me reviled throughout LJ is a conundrum, but there you go.
8. One of my favorite foods is smoked fish.
9. I bake cookies. Lots of cookies.
10. I have conversations with people in my head, and get confused about whether they actually happened. This is a problem, because the conversations in my head almost always go badly.
11. I also sometimes make imaginary LJ posts.
12. I love ice-skating. I want to buy ice skates. Does anyone know anything about good but cheap ice skates?
13. I adore knee socks. Especially if they have particularly loud patterns on them.
14. My favorite scarf is a bright red scarf from France, that my mom bought when she and my father lived a year in France right after they got married. This scarf is older than I am.
15. I’ve never been to Europe. I hope to rectify that this summer.
16. I’m secretly an alien from outer space who is using LJ to gather intelligence about Earth to ready it for my intergalactic tourist business.
Okay, the reason you don’t know that one is because it isn’t true, but I ran out of things to say.

Date: 2009-01-17 09:46 pm (UTC)This would be awesome, if you could actually manage to find a genie's bottle Airstream like Jaye's. (I always did wonder who decorated her trailer, since Jaye doesn't strike me as a pink-loving sort of girl.)
no subject
Date: 2009-01-17 10:15 pm (UTC)Either that, or Jaye has a well-closeted love for pink, and a large part of Wonderfalls season 2 would have been Jaye coming to term with her color preferences.

Date: 2009-01-17 10:19 pm (UTC)Hee! There would be deep soul-searching, and Malibu Barbie dream houses!

Date: 2009-01-17 10:23 pm (UTC)Are you at a university? That probably makes things easier. I suppose it would be possible to post poetry in workplace restrooms too, though, although I bet there are stricter policies about posting...
Also *prods gently about the fic*.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-19 08:21 pm (UTC)also, right. i'll try to send you edits very very soon. i sort of have a computer issue, though, so if you want a banner that might take a while longer. you can always post the fic and i can make a graphic post-haste, though.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-19 08:26 pm (UTC)I think the fic is too short for a banner, so just the edits will be fine. Thank you for offering, though. :)

Date: 2009-01-17 06:48 pm (UTC)6. that's pretty awesome. and helpful.
7. it's cute that's your delusional in your self-consciousness. also, completely wrong, yes?
9. and now I want cookies. thank you.
10. haha I do that. I once didn't talk to my best friend for an entire summer because I had convinced myself that he was mad at me. It turned out that he wasn't part of that particular conversation at all.
11. I guess you can at least double-check that one...
16. I must still be asleep because this one made sense at first. ...I don't know. It was just the "tourist business" part that threw me; I completely believed the alien bit.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-17 10:13 pm (UTC)No, what am I saying? This is the internet, someone would definitely bring it to my attention just to cause trouble.
So yes, almost certainly wrong.
And on 16: would you have continued believing me if I'd gone on to say "clear the way for my planet-wide reign of terror"? That was the original plan, but then I thought, poor aliens, everyone always thinks they're up to something when all they want is to sample some of Earth's ice cream and scale a view Mayan temples.
I mean, just look at Torchwood. That's some serious anti-alien prejudice right there. The Weevils need a lobby, man.

Date: 2009-01-17 10:32 pm (UTC)I think I'm going to do the poetry thing - inspired!
no subject
Date: 2009-01-17 11:34 pm (UTC)I occasionally have those dreams too. What's worse is dreams that aren't mundane, but still seem very real, so you spend the next day muzzy-headedly muttering "I did not grow horns over night. I did not, I did not, I did not."
