Minorearth tagged me, like she does and now there are all these questions I’m supposed to answer. *stares*
I’m shirking the whole meme process though and just answering questions because I think most people I would tag have already done it more than once. <3
ON TO THE QUESTIONS!
What’s the first music album you ever bought yourself?
Don’t laugh: Soul 4 Real - Candy Rain
What do you do when you get stressed out? What calms you down the best?
Talk about it. Talking to people - even when it’s not about my problems is the best stress relief. Second to that is gaming.
What is your favorite memory from the past year?
Finishing War is Never Cheap Here.
Where do you want to be in five years - physically, mentally, emotionally, creatively?
Awesome places. I’d love to have finished and sold an original fiction novel. I want to be through with adoption and see the teen grown up and in college. Possibly either still fostering or adopting or both. Happy, healthy… better.
Hit shuffle on your music player. What is the next song that plays? Do you associate it with anything?
Sarah Mclaughlin - Silence. And yes, it’s very much associated with an old D&D character of mine: Gwen, a bard who saved a god from corruption. It was a really, really emotional plotline.
Look around you - at your desk, the table nearest you, bookshelf, whatever. Name five things you can see. Tell me a story - even a dumb one - about one of those things.
Three dogs and lots of pillows. They’re conked out from running around all crazy (the dogs, not the pillows). No story, it’s the truth.
What’s the last book you read? What’s the best book you’ve read in the past year?
Last book I finished was Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. The best book was probably The Hunger Games - but it’s not far enough along in the year yet for me to have a favorite.
Name one fictional character you haven’t written about/drawn (depending on your art form of choice), but would really like to play with someday.
Oh man. At least for Dragon Age, one of these days I’d like to give some serious writing thought to Sebastian. And maybe even something with a personal Hawke, because I don’t really do that.
What family member are you closest to? Or, if you’re not close with your blood family, who is the person in your life you consider your closest family?
My dad. We have always been close. My dad treated me like an adult in just about every conversation we had - not in a way that I wasn’t allowed to be a kid - but in that he asked my opinions and ideas and listened to them when they were sound. I’ve always been able to tell him anything.
What’s your favorite piece of clothing you own?
Some really comfy dark wash jeans. They fit right, they’re flattering and I can wear them all day without feeling uncomfortable.
Name one talent - aside from the ones you use in fandom - that you’re proud of.
I have no idea. I’m told I’m funny? (Ignoring the fact that once upon a time (and occasionally when I’m bored) I wanted to be a comedian.)
Or… is reading a talent? *shrugs*
