All about me
Feb. 11th, 2010 08:07 amI was tagged by both ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reni_days and barmy_bunk ages ago, but first there was fic, then midterm explosion, so...I am very late.
I want to preface this meme with a disclaimer, that I am woefully boring. Please forgive the totally lame list to follow...So I included some pictures to liven things up a bit!
Parts of this may be TMI...
- List 7 habits/quirks/facts.
- Tag 7 people to do the same.
- Don't tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag 'whoever wants to do it'.
1. I consider myself to be entirely heterosexual, yet I am in a sexual and romantic relationship with another woman, and have been for seven years (in March...) It infuriates me that people try to tell me that makes me bisexual--not because I have an issue with bisexuality, but because I am physically attracted to men, and only men, and identify as heterosexual. My attraction for Muse stems from our intellectual connection. I hate that people need to understand/label other people's sexuality so much, like their own is threatened somehow by what they perceive as deviance from the norm.
This is my Muse:
2. I was an honest to god cheerleader and beauty queen throughout school. Despite my various titles, trophies, and crowns, I was never, ever popular. Still, I get very angry whenever I hear people talk about pageants like they're something bad. I can tell you that I have never felt so good about myself in my life than when I won my first crown, and even when I was runner-up rather than queen, it was a great feeling. I know I'm not pretty, but I *felt* pretty.
I'm the one in the left in the middle picture, in the white gown in most the others, with curly red hair. Back before I fucked up my hair D:
Some of my favourite crowns:
3. I make what have been termed "pancake cookies" by Muse, Sara, Mell, none of us can remember. They are thus called because I cook them halfway then flip them "so that they are like unto a pancake" according to Muse. I do it because otherwise every oven I've ever had burns the bottom while the inside is still mushy. This way the cookie is still chewie without being gooey, and not crunchy at all.
I made a song that I sing while baking them. Now Muse and I shall sing it for you. Look out, bonus Wine and Berries song. Okay, maybe that's another weird habit: making up songs about food. They're very short.

4. I am a serious fucking klutz. It's a huge joke at work. I can hurt myself on thin air (I have been known to choke on air). Like, a couple nights ago I busted my lip breaking down a cardboard box--it fell apart and one piece flipped upward, hitting me. And I cut myself on the cardboard all the time, sometimes so deep it needs stitching. I have also, more than once, had both feet and/or ankles sprained and broken at the same time.
5. I love horror movies. Some of my favourite television shows are Buffy, Dexter, and Supernatural. I *cannot* watch any scenes with violence, particularly anything involving knifes, swords or sharp objects, and broken necks, but really anytime I know violence is about to happen, I look away. When I go to the theatre to see a new movie, I literally watch from between my fingers.
6. My memory is horrible. It actually scares me a little bit sometimes. Like, Muse and my BFF will talk about stuff and I'll be like "You guys are making this up, right? That didn't actually happen? You're trying to make me think I'm going insane..." Only, you know, they aren't making it up. Apparently I've watched a certain movie with BFF at least five times, but I don't remember ever having seen it at all, let alone with him. I'm seriously worried about what this will mean for me as I get older...So, yeah, if I seem to have trouble following conversations that make reference to things that occurred more than a few days ago, I not flaky, and it isn't that I don't care...I just can't remember a lot. Part of why I love photography.
7. I collect lots of different things, but my favourite is globes. I have over 30 of them, some antique, some crystal, some made of paper or precious metals. These are some of my favourites:
This includes a couple from my G-pa--the wire one was made in South Africa out of recycled material and the one made of precious stones; the yoyo and the big antique looking one are from Muse; the silver and blue puzzle one is from my bff.
I choose you, Pikachu!okubyou_kitsune, ink_on_the_page, redorchids, inkandchaos, saba1789, octette, milenaa.
If you've already been tagged, I apologise. See #6.
ETA Muse demanded that I include this final fact as an honourable mention because, I quote, "that is never NOT going to be cool to me." My friends call me the mouth that ate Manhattan because of all the famous people with whom I've made out. Like the time I got into the world premiere of the Harry Potter films and made out with one of the Weasley twins, or that time I made out with Spike, from Buffy...
