In the land of Coca Cola.

[wolfpangs]

I knew someone had tagged me for a meme but it got lost as I drowned in schoolwork. Now I'm on my break and I found it so here we go.

I was tagged by johnny_stiletto.

1. I tag: princessdidi, gannet_guts, baggylettuce, whitewatergirl, stoof, commieprincess, kaytethinks and ladycakes.

2. What is your most guilty pleasure?
Oh, Lord. I've revealed so many secrets in this journal alone that it's hard to think of more...that I'd be willing to reveal. I don't really feel that guilty about most stuff. These are more like dorky pleasures. Like...my tendency to make up songs about anything and everything. It started as a way to pass time during menial tasks and/or waiting and I've just kept doing it. There's no telling what I'll be inspired to sing about in any given day but usually, I make up at least one new song about the dogs every day. These are not grand compositions, mind you--just silly little things that I sing to them. The other one I do frequently is the song I sing when I'm waiting for my dad to pick up on his cell. It's called "Daddy Mobile" and that's as much as I'm going to share.

I also really, really love blind items. I found a goldmine of them during Hell Week and I literally groaned because it was the worst thing for me to see when I was supposed to be studying and writing papers.

3. Have you ever seen someone die?
Not in real life, as far as I know. ("Not irl," meaning I've seen stuff like the Budd Dwyer footage. NB: If you're unfamiliar with him and/or sensitive, I would advise against googling for further information since it may return disturbing images on the main results page. His wiki page is pretty tame, though. Long story short, he committed suicide on live TV.)

4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
Only occasionally. I know I may look indecisive from the outside looking in, but I just try to make the best possible choices for myself at any given time and sometimes, the times they are a-changing.

5. What was the last book you read for pleasure and would you recommend it?
It's been so long since I've read a book for fun that I had to look it up on allconsuming to see what it was. And it was Twilight! I'd recommend it if you like YA and keep in mind that it's very Mary Sue.

(I'll be writing fanfic under the name shimmerskin.)

6. Favourite Sandwich and side.
Probably the Steakhouse Dip from Quizno's with lots of horseradish. I would prefer pasta salad on the side but they don't have that so I usually get jalapeno chips. And then brush my teeth.

7. If a person you like doesn't feel the same way, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?
Can I see other people while I wait? If so, yes. If not, lol no.

8. What is your dream car?
A vehicle that looks like a 1971 Pontiac GTO Judge but with a voice-activated communications and entertainment system inside, as well as an engine that runs on a sustainable, nonpolluting energy source. And cupholders that are deep enough so that my Dr Pepper doesn't fling itself into the back floorboard every time I make a sharp turn, FORD.

Ooh and also, a removeable piece in the driver's headrest so I can wear a ponytail without having to drape it over the headrest so I can sit comfortably.

Or all of that, but with a 1970 Dodge Challenger body (white only, plz).

9. Is there anything that made you unhappy recently?
Besides the obvious family stuff, no, although this was a little disturbing:



Salome,

I have not seen your final exam. Where did you take it? Huntsville or
Decatur? On what date? At what time? If you can tell me, I can most
likely track it down.

You did such good work online that I cannot believe you would not have
taken your final exam. Please let me know.

[my French instructor]

(For the record, I took it May 6 at Decatur, about 2ish. And after my instructor searched her car, her home, her office while the English instructors searched the lab and their work, it is still missing. I chose option A out of the options my instructor gave me to resolve this--I'll be graded on my midterm and my online work only and will receive a B overall.)

10. What do you want most in life?
"Innocently to amuse the imagination in this dream of life is wisdom."

11. Which of the 7 Deadly Sins do you think you relate to the most & why?
Avarice or lust.

12. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Laughing.

13. Who is currently the most important person to you?
idk, my bff

14. What kind of person do you think you are?
Game. Free. Protective.

15. What made you laugh recently?

*lame e-hugs for Wolong preserve*

16. Which fictional character could you most see yourself marrying?
Edward Cullen When I was working on my most recent Firefly video (this one set to a mashup of "Big Iron" and "Ain't No Other Man"), I realized that the answer was right in front of me: Reaver #4.

Oh wait, I mean Capt. Mal. See here for further details (unless you are trying to remain unspoiled for some reason).

17. Would you give your all in a relationship?
I have, I am, and I will again.

18. Do you have a motto? If yes, which one.
Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothin' to fuck with.

Along with a wide assortment of various mantras and prayers and personal reminders.

19. What type of friends do you like?
Smart people, funny people, people who read, people who are interested in art and music and life. Interesting people. Kind people. People who've got my back. People who must march to the beat of their own respective drummers, even if it may not be a drummer at all. And most of all, game people.

20. Do you have a favorite song?
John Cage's 4'33".

I'm also quite fond of this one:

That's "When I Paint My Masterpiece," by the dubs. Any version really, but the ones he sings mean the most. And bonus points for the interview at the end. This video also functions as an answer for number 19.



Bake it at 300 degrees for an hour and that's how you make banana bread.
