amberdreamsOkie dokie, because I just can't resist temptation...

I know very little aboutsome most of the people on my friends list. Some
people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this
opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing
at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's
Thingy ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's
friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.)
Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In
return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an
answer*.
*Providing it's answerable/suitable for public posting.
Gimme some gossip!

Date: 2013-01-25 12:03 am (UTC)I've written in the Final Fantasy VII world, Junjo Romantica, and Supernatural. I can read wincest, but I can't write it. Although, right now, I'm lucky if I get any outside reading or writing done.

Date: 2013-01-25 12:44 am (UTC)I have absolutely no artistic talent, can barely do stick figures, but I keep telling myself I'm going to learn to Photoshop.
no subject
Date: 2013-01-25 06:59 pm (UTC)And if you want to play with something that is very similar to photoshop but totally free - try downoading GIMP. That's what I use. It seems to have most of the same functionality, and is certainly good for a beginner! And also - no artistic ability is necessary to create stuff that looks good!

Date: 2013-01-25 01:30 am (UTC)My best friend when I was about six to about ten was the daughter of a member of an exiled Hungarian avant-garde theater troupe. They lived all together in a building in Chelsea, where they kept a goat on the roof, not for agricultural purposes but because it had a role in one of their productions. There was also in one of the big, cavernous rooms a giant, ceiling-height baby made out of papier maché with TV screens for eyes.

What (let's leave out books and music) can you never resist acquiring more of? Bags? Stationery? Fine cheeses?
no subject
Date: 2013-01-25 07:07 pm (UTC)I have a very acquisitive nature even though I fight against it... I do have a weakness for stationery, how did you know?? But worse, at the moment I have 4 Macbooks - 5 if you count the one I've given to my elderly aunt in Liverpool in an attempt to get her to use Skype (she still won't). Which is far more extravagant than collecting free pens at conference exhibitions.

Date: 2013-01-25 02:06 am (UTC)I write for work and for fun, although most of the work writing is by dictation, and the fun writing is by fingers. I started writing fan fiction in 1996, although I saw my first K/S zine at the Atlanta Fantasy Fair in .... I want to say 1983. I was intrigued but did not buy it. (I went to the AFF that year because Will Eisner was speaking, and because Bob Burden (who created Flaming Carrot) also had a session.)
ST:TOS was my original fandom, and while the other girls wanted to kiss Kirk, I wanted to be Spock.

Question for you- what did you want to be when you grew up? How close to the mark did you hit?
:)

Date: 2013-01-25 07:15 pm (UTC)As to your question - I wanted to be an archaeologist and ended up in the civil service, so not very close at all. Though I did end up playing hockey with three employed archaeologists, one of whom got a digging job on Time Team for a couple of seasons. So I live vicariously.

Date: 2013-01-25 05:51 am (UTC)Our little backyard show ran for 16 years (we moved into a church basement after nearly getting rained out in year 3) and ended up with over 140 kids being in it, some just once, some (okay, my oldest) for 16 years.
Other than raising my girls, running that impromptu show every summer is the thing I am the most proudest of in my life!
What accomplishment are you proud of?
no subject
Date: 2013-01-25 07:23 pm (UTC)As to my achievements - I don't really know that I have that many. I got my 2:1 BA Hons degree, I managed 4 promotions in the civil service before taking redundancy, I managed some successful projects - I don't know.
Maybe the fact that I finally manged to finish writing a complete original novel (even though I've kind of spoilt that one a bit by failing to get on with editing it before trying some publishing agents...). I'm not a completer/finisher so that was an accomplishment totally against the grain!

Date: 2013-01-25 05:56 pm (UTC)I have lived in a 120km radius of Cape Town my whole live, but have never been to Robben Island. I know. Shameful.
This week I learned what a podfic is and made my first icon … ever.
Growing up I wanted to be a marine biologist.
My first pay check, stacking shelves during school holidays in 1995, I spent on a lacy bra and a CD. Vault - Def Leppard. Till this day, it’s still my favourite album. Favourite song on that album – Animal.

Date: 2013-01-25 07:26 pm (UTC)So - have you seen those cute penguins that come up the human beaches round Cape Town then? That is one thing I'd love to see...
no subject
Date: 2013-01-25 08:53 pm (UTC)Honestly I have never seen a penguin waddle up on swimming beaches, but then I don’t frequent those as much. I grew up the daughter of a fanatic crayfish diver, so we are more rock-people than sand-people LOL
Penguins sometimes get slammed against the rocks in rough seas, so it’s not un-common to see a wayward one once or twice a season. I did see a sea-lion twice on the beach and lots of seals. Didn't dare go near them. They can be aggressive, move faster than they look and bite!
BUT, Betty's Bay has a Jackass penguin colony that is world famous, where you can get very close. It’s a must see, especially when the eggs hatch. So cute! Smelly, but cute. Betty’s also have the BEST diving spots for crayfish and abalone, an awesome botanical garden and are smack in the middle of Great White territory.

Date: 2013-01-26 01:16 am (UTC)I'm a newly turned 47 year old woman. After being a stay-at-home mom for almost 14 years I am now a Court Reporter in the Circuit Court of our County. Most often heard phrase at work, "18 months, suspended." **headdesk**
I became a member of my first fandom (Nuke) about 4 years go and have now added SPN. Although, I love meeting new friends from all over the world it does irritate me with the fandom wars/fights/shipping.
Most favorite city ever visited . . . San Francisco. Something about that city just calls to me.

I went prematurely grey in my 20s/30s so am constantly grateful for hair dye!
I was once sick down the side of a horse
How's that?
