I AM TIRED OF BEING IN BED

[wordinista]

That said, have a meme (stolen from anatari )!

Ask me anything.

What I'm wearing, what I had for breakfast, favorites, peeves, the best/worst moments of my life, anything. Personal, silly, serious, RL or RP, ask me something and I will answer it honestly. Don't be afraid, this is your chance to get to know me better.

If you want your comments screened, just say so.

Why is Greenland an island but Australia a Continent?

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how this applies as you getting to know me better, but I'll take a stab at it anyway.

My guess would be that because Australia started out as a British penal colony, once it became independent and developed its own laws and government, it... got to be a continent? I dunno, I got nothing.

It lets me know how much you know about the world as a whole. And I think that is the best answer I ever got with that question. Most people just stare at me blankly.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

...So I should count myself lucky that you asked about a portion of the world I actually know a teeny bit about. XD

[emrlddragon.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

Did you finish OGAM yet?

[inusdemoness.livejournal.com]

ROFL! Inquiring WUSS minds want to know! Seriously though, when is that next chapter coming?


You said I could ask anything!

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

...Well, I... started it? IT'S IN PROGRESS? That's about the best I can do or an answer there.

[inusdemoness.livejournal.com]

That's good enough for me!

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

...Dude. Do you honestly think you would have managed to miss the fireworks and celebration if I had?

And how is this you getting to know me better?

[rya-kelley.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* You said I could ask anything. ^_^ That's what I wanted to know most.

Okay, here's another. How did you meet your husband>

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Oh god, okay. Hee.

We were both 19, and temping at a satellite communications company down here. I was working in documentation, and he was working in shipping and receiving with his brother. Now, his brother used to come to my part of the building with deliveries, and he always used to stop in my section and flirt with me. ONE PROBLEM: I could not stand him, so around the time I knew he'd be by, I either went to the restroom, or made myself look way busier than I was. THEN ONE DAY, he brought this other guy with him, and I thought he was way cute, except for these dumbass sunglasses he was wearing.

So AJ brought George by a couple of times, and we talked if we ran into each other -- nothing really special. Then I'd heard that some temps were reaching the end of their contract, and that AJ was one of those temps, so I assumed George was too. So when we got back from the 4th of July long weekend, I didn't expect to see either of them ever again. Cue George walking across the parking lot. I was like, "What the hell are you doing here?" And he just looked at me. "I... work here?"

So we talked a little more around work, and one day, he said, "Hey, do you think you want to go hang out sometime, or catch a movie or something?" And inside I was like OMGSQUEE. Outwardly, I was COOL NONCHALANCE. So I gave him my number.

Aaaaand he never called.

So I ran into him again at work, and gave him a ration of crap about not calling, and he said he lost my number, so I was like, "Okay, here it is again."

Dumbass lost it again.

Come to find out, after he lost it the second time, he went to my mom (who was a Project Manager at the same company) and asked what to do. (She told him that I really value honesty, and if he was sincere and just told me the truth, that was the best bet. She was right.) I didn't know this, because about the time he was talking to my mom, I went looking for him in the warehouse and found his ID badge. I wrote my number on a post-it and stuck it to his badge with a note: "DO NOT LOSE ME."

He called me that night.

[rya-kelley.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's cute. ^_^ "I work here?" LOL. Classic.

How do you fill your days now that the IY fandom has wound down?

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I really don't count myself as having been a part of the fandom for a while now. Lately I've been getting really interested in Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. I don't know if I'll get involved with the fandom community, but I am enjoying catching up with the series (even if SGA isn't being renewed for a sixth season, bastards).

I'm also trying to pay more attention to writing original fiction, and getting my brain back in shape. ;)

I really don't count myself as having been a part of the fandom for some time now.

Hence the winding down.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

No, really. I... kind of stopped following the new chapters ages ago. And... sort of gave up on the anime long before it ended. A lot of it had to do with all of the discrepancies between IY canon and OGAM, and my not wanting to... inadvertently borrow from any point in canon later than where took the story from.

I really think I left the IY canon the day we closed Green Tea, now that I think about it.

[darkfrog24.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was trying to give you a compliment in the form of a joke.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

...Hi there, I'm sometimes clueless. ♥

[everstar3.livejournal.com]

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Okay, I'm just being an ass.

Hmmmm. What shall I ask to get to know you better. *ponder*

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I thought you knew me better than almost anyone, and then you told me you never knew I'd ridden horses. So clearly there are things you don't know! But... you don't know if you don't know them. I don't know.
