OH NOES have I really not posted since Wednesday? Shit, I'm becoming one of THOSE people on LJ!
Or something. Here have a shitton of questions via![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nounsandverbs.
MEME 1:
Please fill out this survey so I can get to know you better. Old friends, fill it out too! Even if I know you well, I may find out something about you I never knew. Feel free to spread this around on your LJ - we can all get to know each other. If there is a question you don't want to or don't know how to answer, just tell me something else instead.
1. Name: Andee
2. Preferred gender pronoun: she/her/hey you
3. Birthday: October 7
4. Where do you live and/or time zone: The end of Massachusetts no one cares about. No it's not all Boston.
5: What are you studying/What are you working as: Studying: life. Working as: various types of web/retail monkey.
6. What makes you happy/hobbies: Writing, crafting, computery stuff, doing weird shit with my hair.
7. An interesting fact about you: I've had the chicken pox FOUR times. Yes I realize that's not supposed to be possible, but meet my completely fucked up immune system.
8. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment: I'm getting married in the fall so I certainly hope so.
9. Favorite place to be: Home. Or on the subway in NY. Destination unimportant.
10. A word to describe yourself: Indecisive.
FANDOM
1. Favorite Fandom(s): I am a fan of many things, but fandoms in general either scare or annoy me.
2. OTP/OT3: Not much for shipping, sorry. Fictional romances are at the discretion of the author.
3. Celebrities you flail over: I'm not usually a celebrity stan, but I think if I met any of the Avengers actors or Chiwetel Ejiofer or Idris Elba or Mariska Hargitay or Angela Bassett I think I'd faint.
4. Favorite music: I listen to everything. (Except light jazz. I almost wrote light jizz. That should tell you what I think of it.)
PLUS
1. One thing you like about LJ: It's home, as far as the internet is concerned. Even if it sucks now.
2. Two things you like about yourself: I'm a funny bitch. And I've got this knack for surviving shit.
3. What House in Hogwarts are you in/would you be in? probably Hufflepuff. Not jocky/cool enough for Gryffendor, not enough work ethic for Ravenclaw, and definitely not sly/cunning enough for Slytherin.
MEME 2:
01. How long do you usually sleep? I go to bed late and get up early, so usually no more than 5ish hours.
02. Do you consider this enough? No, but I always feel like I'm missing shit when I'm asleep. I tend to make up for this on occasional sleep binges on free Saturdays. Yesterday's Allsleep was decadent.
03. Do you prefer sleeping at night or by day? If I had a choice about it, I'd never see the daystar again.
04. Do you prefer sleeping in complete darkness or by light? Don't care, I can fall asleep anywhere in any environment.
05. Do you like mornings? Fuck no.
06. Do you easily wake up? again, fuck no. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 80s, man, you could fire a gun by my head and I wouldn't twitch.
07. Are there any stuffed animals/plushies in your bed? They've moved in with the kids' other stuffies whencell23 and I started living together.
08. If yes, do you hold them while sleeping? I tended to use them as extra pillows, actually.
09. What do you wear when sleeping? Zilch, usually. if I have to wear PJs, an overlarge well washed T-shirt and a pair ofcell23's boxers does nicely.
10. Have you ever slept naked? Most of the time.
11. Have you ever fallen asleep with your shoes on? When one tends to fall asleep anywhere, sleeping with shoes on ceases to be a Thing.
12. Do you prefer sleeping alone or with company? I've gotten so used to company that I have to stream 1010WINS in order to fall asleep on nights whencell23's away.
13. How often do people stay over night at your place? Most of our friends live in the area (indeed the same complex) so we don't host all that often (the kids don't count). I think in our two years here we've only had one houseguest.
14. The weirdest place you ever fell asleep? Hm. Probably in a restroom somewhere during my college days.
15. A place you could never sleep in? Get me exhausted enough and that place doesn't exist.
16. Do you dream? Yeah.
17. How often? I'm sure every night, but I only remember them once a week or so.
18. Are your dreams coloured? Do I dream in color? Uh. Yeah?
19. Do you know you're dreaming while you dream? Most of the time, actually. It's fun if I can figure out how to control the dream reality, but it sorta sucks when you can't and you're just stuck in it until you wake up.
20. Your favourite dream? I have a recurring one about exploring this large rambling hotel. That one's fun.
21. Any nightmares? Sure
22. Do you remember your worst nightmare? For about a year as a little kid I'd constantly dream about getting pushed in front of an oncoming subway train. It's a wonder I didn't develop a phobia.
23. Any wet dreams? *smirk*
24. Have you ever dreamt you were close to someone you could not stand before? uh, what? no.
25. If yes, did this change anything? No?
26. Whom would you like to dream of? Eh. I kinda like the random factor.
27. Do you make up little stories before falling asleep in the hope you dream anything related? Not so much to control my dreams, but it's a great way of getting myself to fall asleep.
28. Describe your usual sleeping position: Generally on my side, one knee jacked up by my belly, the other stretched out, one hand under my face and pillows, the other on my shoulder or hip. Super bonus if there's a cat nested either in the crook of my knee or near my belly.
29. Has anyone commented on the way you sleep? Apparently I'm a huge cover hog/thief. Hey, I get cold easily.
30. In whose arms would you like to fall asleep? Can't complain aboutcell23's. He's a ridiculously cozy sleeping partner.
31. Do you like your bed? Yes. The frame was the best gift my ex ever gave me, and it's a firm mattress topped with two inches of memory foam. Getting up in the morning is difficult as fuck. My only quibble is I'd like a queen size as opposed to a full, but that's only really a problem when one of the kids climbs in with us.
32. What does it look like? Frame is a medium finished wood, with a footboard and a headboard, with lathed supports on both. I like having a bed I can tie people to. ;)
33. what's the best bed you ever slept in? Swanky hotel beds are pretty nice, I won't lie.

02. Listening to?cell23 snoring.
03. Thinking of? How I've got better things to do than meme-ing, and yet.
04. Feeling? Relieved. I had an appointment scheduled this morning that canceled at the last minute. I do not mind having three hours of my day handed back.
LAST THING YOU...
01. Bought? Dinner forcell23 and I last night. Oh god, the carbonara coma.
02. Did? put said conditioner into my hurr?
03. Ate & drank? breakfast - coffee and honey nut cheerios.

12. Snuff or cigarettes? neither, thank you.
13. Coke or Pepsi? I like both?

17. Ricki Lake or Oprah Winfrey? Neither, I don't do talk shows.
WHO DO YOU WANT TO...
01. Kill? There is one person I want to kick off a cliff and have them land on a trampoline so they'd bounce back up and give me the pleasure of kicking them again. When I get bored I'd remove the trampoline. Yes, this is oddly specific, but this particular hatred is PROFOUND.
02. Shag? My sex drive's been wonky lately but when it's not stuttering like a faulty engine... yeah, there are people.
03. Slap? Well, not in a bad sense. :)
04. Hear from? Curious about the life of a couple people I've lost touch with. But mostly Facebook's taken care of a lot of that.
05. Get really wasted with? There's a Squire party coming up, I'm sure the opportunity will present itself.
06. Tickle? Oh definitely the little beast. Combine an infectious giggle and dimples of doom... yeah. Actually tickling his dad is fun for the same reasons, except he kicks/punches harder.
07. Look like? I'm good with me now, but I wouldn't turn down a chance to walk around in Angela Bassett's body if offered.
08. Be like? I'd keep my own personality though. I'm comfy with it.
09. Avoid? Eh. The best way to run into someone you don't want to deal with is to try to actively avoid them, in my experience.
10. Tease? Kidzilla. She has this FACE she makes when she thinks you're being a Ridiculous Adult and I love making her make it.
FAVORITE
01. Food? I love a lot of food type things, but if I had to pick one, give me a New York street corner Sabrett frankfurter.
02. Drink? Pepsi throwback or iced tea.
03. Color? Purple. That's also a really good book.
04. Album? I don't do albums any more, but when inspired I will still listen to all of Pink Floyd's the Wall, NIN's The Downward Spiral, and Ani DiFranco's Dilate.
05. Shoes? Reebok high top Freestyle sneakers. Usually in black, though they allow you to customize your colors now, so my next one may be black and purple.
06. Site? Reddit, LJ, facebook, Dragon cave, wikipedia, imdb.
07. Dance? I do like the chacha slide.
08. Song? Can't pick just one.
09. Vegetable? any kind of green leafys. Which sucks because clotting disorder = I have to be careful about what kind and how much I eat.
10. Fruit? Tangerines. Apples when in season.
11. Berry? Not a berry person generally. Too squishy on the inside. I like them well enough pureed or in things though.
All right, I should stop wasting the returned 3 hours and actually go do something productive, like rinse the conditioner out of my hair.
Or something. Here have a shitton of questions via
