Tell Me Something True

[alianora]

stole this from bantha_fodder:

Some of you I hardly know at all, but you friended me and I thank you. 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 so and so...she wears mismatched socks." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

so, lets see, for me?

i read more than any other person i know, and i do it FAST. i read all seven of the Chronicles of Narnia earlier this summer, and i did it in less than 4 days. and that was mainly during my lunch break and right before bed. if i had been hard core reading, i could have finished them all in two days. i HAVE to have a book with me, i cant NOT be without a book. ive gotten a lot less nerdy about this as i got older..meaning i no longer have two books with me at all time, because what if i finish one and dont have another? but i still am a bookworm, and like it that way.

to go along with that, i cant spell. used to drive my parents INSANE. "you read all the darn time and dont know how to spell?!"

so talk, give me something fun or random or just a fact about you.

Threeish random facts

[anxietygrrl.livejournal.com]

I have always wanted to live in New York City. I'm a big fan of the (former) band Del Amitri, though my latest love is Neil Finn. I believe that the three touchy subjects not to mention in polite company are religion, politics, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

and i can find no reason to disagree with you. You could be talking to shippers, and they could ship Buffy/Angel, and you ship Buffy/Spike, or they could think Spike is evil and stupid and has bad hair, and you could start to defend him, and then it would turn into a rumble, but you wouldnt have your brass knuckles and then they would leave you bloody and broken and be all "HA! SPIKE SUCKS!" and then you would cry!

Of course, that very thing has never happened to me, especially not in the college cafeteria during season five. If it had, it would have ended in a draw, because I was brandishing a pointy object. Uhhh... hypothetically.

I read so much as a child that when I'd done something wrong and needed to be punished, instead of grounding me, my mom would take my books away. I was that much of a book nerd.

My absolute favorite book is probably a tie between Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice, and I have a weakness for stupid romance novels (which has translated into fluffy fic-reading habits).

For someting even more random, I've never head a problem snapping my fingers, but I can't whistle to save my life.

*blink*

i think we are long lost twins.

in one memorable occasion, my father removed EVERY SINGLE READABLE THING from my room to punish me. more of a punishment for him, as it took gosh knows how many trips.

and i also, cannot whistle, no matter how hard i try.

wow, that is some fast reading O_O

*ponders*
when I'm upset and trying to calm down I usually end up drawing on myself (takes my mind of things) and can't really think up something else fun right now ^^;

ah, youre just trying to be like Dom, arent you? *grin*

when i was in high school, i would draw on my jeans. a lot. made my mom INSANE, but it was a great stress reliever.

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

hehe, I think he is trying to be like me, because I have done that sorta thing for years ;)

*lol* I can imagine your mom going crazy, but yeah, it's a great stress reliever :))

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

Hee! Dom wants to be JUST LIKE YOU. He just wants your attention, dammit! cant you give him even a minute to acknowledge his massive crush on you?

maybe if you wrote "Dom" across your fingers...

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

cant you give him even a minute to acknowledge his massive crush on you?
well, is hard when there are so many people trying to get your attention *sighs* but I guess I could write Dom on my fingers *nods* :P

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

Dom will demand pictures. you know he will.

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

you can't always do what the public demands you know ;)

I borrowed the first five Harry Potter books from a friend last summer to find out what the hype was all about, and finished them all by the end of the week.
(I have the sixth one pre-ordered on Amazon to arrive on next Saturday. 6 days! Huzzah!)

Am also a grammar/spelling nazi and self-proclaimed neat freak. ^^;;

Oh, and I get really bad caffeine and sugar highs. Bad for those around me, anyway. :3

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

hee! i cannot WAIT until FRIDAY! we will be at the Border's release party, and i plan on reading a good chunk of HBP before bed..if i decide to go to bed that night!

[indigodragyn.livejournal.com]

Lol and I will be waiting at the mail boxes come Saturday, ready to tackle the mail man. I wish we had snazzy HP parties, but Waco sucks. ;_;

Hmm.

I can spell anything except "broccoli" - seriously. Any kind of freakishly obscure disease? Easy. But I always have to stop and think about "broccoli."

I can't remember to do things like pay bills, so my husband has to remind me. He simply asks, "Cingular?" or "Power bill?" and I inevitably will either grin proudly or curse.

I think people should be allowed to kill child molesters, but only if they're willing to go to prison for it. (Matt gives me a wtf? look when I proclaim this and says, "Um, isn't that kind of the way things...already are?")

I used to only carry one book, now I carry 2, just incase I am not in the mood for one of them...

I hate to wear make-up, but I have to b/c my cat sleeps with me and I am allergic to my cat, I get blisters on my face if she gets on my pillow, tiny zit looking blisters.
