Meme and a chick

[guanin]

I don't remember who I got this meme from. It took me forever to fill out in between thesis notes.


1. Your Middle Name: Ann, though it works as a set with my first name
2. Age: 25, 26 in two months
3. Single or Taken: single
4. Favourite Film: Pirates of the Caribbean, Clue, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Brotherhood of the Wolf, LOTR, The Nightmare Before Christmas
5. Favourite Song or Album: I've never had any. There are too many. But I've always had a special fondness for Metallica's Load and the first Garbage album.
6. Favourite Band/Artist: Garbage, NIN, Metallica, Placebo, a bunch of people I'm forgetting
7. Dirty or Clean: Umm...  I'm very bad about washing the dishes and the clothes.
8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: Tattoos are too permanent for my indecisive nature. I don't even have my eara pierced, though I often think about it.
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? No, though I'm looking forward to meeting visiblemarket in July!
10. What's your philosophy on life? Radical, yet oddly old-fashioned at times. Essentially, I don't like fitting into other people's boxes.
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? Is there some middle ground?
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Ooh, that's a tricky question.
13. What is your favourite memory of us? All the meta discussions we've had, the squeeing over actors we love, the silliness. Yeah, that's more than one. I don't care.
14. What is your favourite guilty pleasure? It used to be really bad moviees on TV, but I can't take it anymore. Now it's browing the internet looking at stupid/silly/completely irrelevant stuff while I shuld be working.
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I am extremely indecisive. I can change my mind about something from onen minute to the next, yet there are some things that I get incredibly stubborn about.
16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarky) - what are they? To be able to travel anywhere in the world for free, to become a succesful professional writer (and develop the discipline to go along with it, and for Mexico to fix all its problems (I can hope; useless, huh?), so I don't have to be freaking out about my family.
17. Can we get together and make a cake? Sure, though I warn you, there will be flour all over the kitchen before we're done.
18. Which country is your spiritual home? Well, Puerto Rico is where I was born and grew up in and will always be my first home, but I've also got a big attachment to Chicago, mostly because the family I'm really close to is there.
19. What is your big weakness? Cereal. Pretty men. A really comfy bed.
20. Do you think I'm a good person? Yeah.
21. What was your best/favourite subject at school? History and literature for interest. Grades-wise... none. My teenage rebeliong manifested itself through not doing any of the work, so my grades were pretty bad. I finally went back to my previous habit of As and Bs in the second year of college.
22. Describe your accent: Spanish: If I'm in PR, Puerto Rican with some ocasional Mexicanish filtering in. Most other places, alternating between the two. English: whatever accent fluent Puerto Ricans have. I have no idea what American accent it most sounds like. Americans can never place it.
23. If you could change anything about me, would you? No.
24. What do you wear to sleep? Loose exercise trousers/pants and a tank top.
25. Trousers or skirts? Trousers. I love seeing skirts and designing them, but never wearing them. I haven't owned a dress since I was in high school. I went to my nephew's wedding in jeans (nice jeans, though). He didn't care.
26. Cigarettes or alcohol? Cigarettes never. Alcohol in cider (hard cider in the US) or Piña Colada form. I don't like beer, unfortunately.
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? (If you have no idea, just say something crazy, it'll entertain me!) Invent a time machine and jump around the past/future, stealing DA/CE/MV along the way.
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Sure, though so many people have done this by now.






Another victim of the dog's play. I found him all by himself in the middle of the yard with no chickens around. I hope its mum appears soon. Here's a picture of the culprit:

I know I should feel bad for that poor baby chick, and I do, but that doggy is adorable too. Or at least he looks it in that picture.

19. What is your big weakness? Cereal. Pretty men. A really comfy bed.

*laughs* I love all those things too. Although not in that order. I'd go with the really comfy bed first ;) Because a really comfy bed makes both cereal and pretty men better.

Also, yay, July in London!

[guanin.livejournal.com]

Oh, he looks innocent. But he is not. Well, he's calmed down a lot now that he's no longer a puppy, but man. He kept trying to bite the camera.

*snort* A comfy bed would help a lot with those. Mmm.

Yay! Question: Do you leave the States on the 15th or do you get to London on that day? Because you always lose a day getting over there.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I know, dogs are nutty like that. Mine is so old and yet still nutty.

Mmm, comfy bed + cereal + pretty man is how I would like to wake up every day of my life.

I leave the States on the 14th and get into London the morning of the 15th.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

He's either a year old or a year and a half. I don't remember. I used to have a tiny, little dog that was nuts, too. He was white and black, like a little Jersey cow.

I second that. So much.

Cool. I get to London from Birmingham on the night of the 14th.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I think it's the little ones who are craziest. Because they have to be, I guess, to protect themselves?

Mmm-hmm.

Awesome. You still want to try for Comic Con?

[guanin.livejournal.com]

I think so, too. All the little dogs I've known are crazy. Though I keep hearing about these labradors.

*stares at icon* *grin*

Yeah. That'd be cool.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Labradors are just big and bouncy and cheerful. Tiny dogs are neurotic and have Napoleon complexes or something.

Hee. Good mornings indeed, huh?

Awesome. I'll have to ready myself to deal with the nerd overload, but it'll be worth it.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

I really think my grandmother's dog is part Labrador, because he's exactly like that. The problem is the big leads to paws that were god knows where all over your shirt.

Oh, yeah.

I've never been around so many geeks before. It should be nice, though, to be around our people.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

This is true. They don't know their own strength, either, and they get used to playing with you when they're tiny little puppies and then all the sudden they're...not.

Peter is clearly just out of frame in that shot.

Hee, I don't know how I'll be able to handle not being the geekiest person in the room. Scary.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

And he was strong when he was a puppy. And he bit everything! Especially people. He kept going after my toes and hands. It was horrible.

Clearly.

I definitely get my geek pride beat when I see people dressed up like Jack Sparrow. I don't think I could do that.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Ah, with the mouthy ones, you just have to be willing to give them a little smack on the nose when they do that. Just so they don't keep at it when they get older and can do serious damage. But it's so hard to correct puppies.

Mmm, Peter...

Hah. My approach to geek pride is the same as my approach to religion. It's my own, I don't wear it out on my sleeve, and I feel a little weird seeing people getting so involved with it.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

It didn't work. There was no way to stop him other than running away.

With me, it's so extremely rare for me to get involved offline anymore that I always get excited to see other people who don't look at me funny when I admit that I'd rather be discussing Heroes than politics.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I'm sorry, but...hee. I want to write a book about dog training with that as the central message. It sounds like the blurb to an awful 50's movie. Like The Blob or something. The Dog: There was no way to stop him but running away!

Heh, and if I'm about 50/50 on them? ;) But I get it. I...don't think I've had a genuine conversation about anything I care about with someone not related to me in months.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

*snort* The Dog. Cute, yet treacherous.

I do like discussing politics, too (who knew), though it's more of a need when it comes to Puerto Rican politics even though I keep insisting that I don't like talking about it, but when it's all politics and no fandom talk at the pub, it makes me feel deprived.
