Questions from littleduchess

1. You are on Come Dine With Me- what's your winning menu?

I totally had to google to see what this show was. And, er, I also don't really cook! But if I had to make something, I'd make... err... for starters, vegan potato skins (I can't find the recipe for them now but they were doused in spices and very yummy), a recipe for pasta that I blatantly stole from the dining hall where I'd worked (rotini pasta with olive oil, tomatoes and spinach and feta cheese). Assuming I couldn't make my chocolate peppermint cake, since it mostly comes from a mix, I could make the Martha Stewart brandy sugar cookies I made for Christmas a few years ago.

2. Bring back one long dead fashion trend from any time in history. What is it?

Obesity being desirable and sexy. :P

3. In you interests it says 'men with accents'. Care to give some more specifics?

Hahah, I had no idea that was on there. I should probably specify that it mostly applies to Europeans speaking English in the United States, and also applies to Australians, Kiwis and people from the Near East (as far east as India). Because I'm not familiar with the language, I have trouble understanding people from the Far East when they speak English sometimes. I think it mostly applies to actors, though I do get big-eyed when we get the occasional Brit or Frenchman at the museum. I am especially fond of British, Russian and German accents. I just think they sound cool.

4. If there was one film/book/tv show/episode you could change the ending of, what would it be?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows because it didn't. Explain. Anything.

5. What musical instrument would most appeal to you?

I played the flute in elementary through high school but I'd wanted to play the saxophone. I also sort of wanted to play the violin. When I was a kid, though, I had a huge fascination with zithers and learning to play one of those would be really cool.

Help, fyrie! Young!Dracula popped up in my head on the drive home from work and he won't go away. Do you have any of those logs from greatestjournal?

A meme I stole from calicokat. Guess them before ameonna, because she will get them all!

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.

3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

I am exhausted. I don't know how people can manage to go to class and go to work and go to the gym and juggle kids and work all day then come home and make crafts and all that other crazy stuff people do. Isn't exercising supposed to give me more energy, not less?

I am sooooooo sore. :( :( :(

I'd prefer to spend it not working. Which is what I did all weekend. I worked.

When I was a kid growing up, we didn't take vacations because we couldn't afford them. Sometimes we'd go on day trips to the local amusement park/zoo/whatever, but that was it. When I got to college, I spent winter break working, spring break working, summer working and taking classes. So now when people are whining about how they can't afford to take vacations, I just kind of blink my eyes and think, "So?"

Not that I wouldn't like to take a vacation. It's just an entirely foreign concept to me.

Oh, Drowtales.

MAKE ME STOP READING IT.

btw, palpitations have ceased. Told ya I'd be fine.

My Pandora knows me so well sometimes! First song it gave me tonight - hell yeah!

People on my list who have been playing WoW since vanilla - were you giving Blizz the finger with each new expansion/patch, or am I just being overly pessimistic? I have barely been playing for a year but I haven't been pleased with any of the changes they've made.

Okay, so I kind of like death gripping things with my three Death Knights, and I do like playing my Blood Elves and Draenei, but other than that?

I feel like if I'd started at the beginning (probably playing a troll the whole time), I'd be pretty damn angry by now.

Also a co-worker asked if I was going to go to Six Flags with the rest of Operations next week. Meh, I don't know about all that. Six Flags is expensive, and besides that, and I don't get the impression that most of the operations people like me.
