Woe is me. It takes me about 11 months to get used to writing the right year when writing the date, and then I have to relearn it all over again. Yes, I'm a simple mind.
Gakked from the lovely
khylarenelf, because those are rather unusual questions and it's a nice change.
1. You have $10 and need to buy snacks at a gas station; what do you buy?
A coffee, that's for sure. (I'm assuming this is on the road, and not my gas station round the corner.) Possibly a pastry to go with it, like a croissant or pain au chocolat. And to eat/drink in the car... if available, Dr. Pepper (who's surprised, seriously?), if in France Diet Coke (but with caffeine thankyouverymuch), and some crisps (hmmm Cheese and Onion - do we have Cheese and Onion flavoured in France?) and possibly a Mars bar or something.
2. If you had to be reincarnated as some sort of sea-dwelling creature, what would you be?
I would have hesitated between say, a dolphin and... something else, I'd have found things. Like a manta or something. I love mantas. But
khylarenelf pointed out that dolphins have sex for fun, not just procreation, and I'm down with that. I'm very down with that. Woohoo!
3. Who's your favorite redhead?
ALAN! Who might or might not be a redhead, but should totally be anyway. THE TWINS! CHARLIE! (I don't care that he never was cast I see him in my mind and I love him!) ...in real life? I don't know any redhead that makes me want to say "them!"
4. What do you order when you're at a pancake house?
...pancakes? And coffee. We don't have pancake houses here, which is saaaaad.
5. Do you own any... naughty toys?
No.Not yet.
6. Have you made out with anyone on your friends list?
With
dreamofmickael (the ice cube game gone very enthusiastic),
overcraft (ice cube still... though we might add "new year snog" very soon), and obviously
greenie_breizh.
7. Describe your favorite pair of underwear:
It's very sad, but they're Snoopy underwear. But they're very well-cut and just too damn cool, not at all whacky because I don't do whacky underwear, and I stand proud of my love for my snoopy undearwear, dammit.
8. Describe the last time you were injured:
...I have no clue. The most memorable occasion was three summers ago (this past one included), when I was riding on the back of Joey's scooter and she rammed my knee into a short pole. The bruise was memorable. I'd never seen a bruise that big. (No, honey, I don't hold it against you. Now I know it was just your way to tell me you wanted to get naked'n'sweaty with me.)
9. Are there any odd things that make you feel comfortable?
Being barefooted? Sleeping naked when it's not cold? Drinking a glass of good alcohol before dinner once in a while? I don't know. Are those odd? Not that much. I don't know. Getting into characters' heads. Cuddling an imaginary Alan Tudyk, because such is the power of Alan's comfortableness.
10. Tell me a weird story from your high school years:
Hmm. So each year, in international section, we had to write and put up a play in English that would be shown to both high school students, pupils parents, and primary school kids that just started English. And our aim was to make everybody laugh. So many cool anecdotes (not so much weird, but oh well) stem from that, but as for one involving me... hmm.
Year 11, first year of high school, we put up Snow White, who was a spice girl and took drugs in a club and went to "sleep," and it was all very moralistic *eyeroll*, but anyway. I was Sporty Spice/Little Red Riding Hood. My entrance on stage was me doing a cartwheel and then a "rondade" (no clue how you say it in English, let's say a glorified, energetic cartwheel), and the entrance was done through the backstage door, which was a regular door kept open with a drape nailed over it to block backstage from sight and still allow easy comings and goings. Only at a rehearsal when I did my cartwheel my foot got bunched up in the drape and tore it off and it looked... well, pretty cool I was told actually, as the drape was red and I was Little Red and anyway. Still, funny.
Then later in French class my lovely, adorable, probably-completely-gay and gods-I-had-a-crush and he-always-lent-me-books-I-heart-teachers-like-that French teacher made a smartass remark about it, which really meant that everybody in the staff room was talking about it. I turned beetred. That man teased me mercilessly sometimes. And oh how I loved him.
11. What is the wallpaper on your cell phone?
No wallpaper on my cell phone, it's not that good. But my screensaver says "Slytherin." (Or "Sod off..." sometimes, but for that one the letters come bouncing onto screen, it looks very cheerful. I like the contradiction.)
12. Soda?
Dr. PEPPER!!!!!!! And Diet Coke (the French one). And Iced Tea, Mango-flavoured preferably.
13. Flavor of pudding?
There are flavours to pudding? Why did nobody tell me? ...definitely not Christmas pudding, in any case. While it's not bad, it's still not my favourite cake ever. Far from it. Very very far from it. HmmmappleandstrawberrycrumblewithvanillaicecreamIwish............
14. What type of shirt are you wearing?
I'm wearing a cotton/woolen sweater thing I adore, with laces at the top and sleeves that widen out at the cuffs. Beige-ish, cream-ish.
15. Prescription medication?
Ventoline for asthma, but I hardly ever use it.
16. If you could use only one form of transportation for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Walking, but other than that? The metro I suppose.
17. How many people are on your friends list?
66 is the number of friends listed, and I'm too lazy to figure out people who appear several times due to having several journals and stuff.
18. How many people on your list do you know in real life?
Have I met, do I see regularly, do I know in real life? There's a difference. Did I meet through non-geek-related things, really only dreamofmickael, kikabox and nikita_mx. Oh, and maybe my sister! Heh. Plumedephenix. And consequently her boyfriend kowaio. Do I know and have met through geek-related things, all the BR guys (greenie_breizh on top), foley_durden, thewatch, grimma and brallaqueen through the Serenity con (and a CoRo concert for grimma), and the OP girls (_tia, jade_plume and anna_tarawiel) as well as some more people through them.
19. What are you listening to right now?
Massive Attack - One Love
20. Most recent movie you watched?
The Chronicles of Narnia.
21. Name 5 things you have with you at all times:
My claddagh ring, the wicked tribal pendant I was offered by my Canadian exchange partner (or if not, I have it as a tatoo on my ankle), and I think that's all you're sure I'll have on me. Then I very often have my iPod, and a small notebook with a pen to jolt down ideas whenever they come, and my cellphone now that I have one that works I suppose.
22. Would you rather give or receive a foot massage?
Give. Probably because I've never been given a really good foot rub.
23. Name a teacher you had the hots for:
The afore-mentioned French teacher. M. Vincent Absous. He wasn't bad on the eyes, but it wasn't so much me having the hots for him as me having a crush. He was just... very attentive, and ready to encourage us to read and write and act and he had a great sense of humour and if he wasn't gay I'm binning my gaydar, but it's not the gayness itself that I liked, it's how casual and private he was both, like he never said anything to make us think that he was but he was not ashamed, once there was a reference to Sodom and Gomorrha, however you spell those, and a friend asked me what sodomy was and he heard and answered out loud, as natural and casual as it gets "anal penetration, Alexandra." I can still hear the way he said it. And he kept lending me books and I didn't pretend to like those I didn't just because he did, and we really talked about them and he was just the perfect teacher.
24. What is a saying that you use a lot?
"C'est clair," in French, and in English... I keep calling people love and honey and lovely.
25. What's one piece of advice that you think should be passed on to every child?
Enjoy living while you can.
Dammit, I think I'm getting ill. Annoyed is me! I wanna be on top of my form tonight! Grrrrrrr. *rolls her big Slytherin scarf around her neck*
