My answered questions:

1. You played Star Wars as a kid. With whom? What medium? (LEGO, action figures, live-action) What character were you? (And if you never played Star Wars as a kid, explain. . .)
Sadly, I did not play Star Wars as a kid. I don't know why; maybe I saw it late enough on that it just never happened. (I don't know; I was...8 or 9? So. *shrug* I guess I never had any Star Wars action figures/etc., either.) Perhaps I was too busy having Bill Nye the Science Guy as my imaginary friend. >_>


2. Most irritating mispronounced or misused word/phrase? (e.g., "irregardless", "for all intensive purposes", "nucular", etc.)
I don't know if I could pick any one example that's more irritating than the others. All of the listed examples? Hm and..."exetera" (or something like that) instead of et cetera...uh...oh! "Couldn't help but <verb>." And many others not coming to mind right now.


3. Your first work of art? (visual, literary, other)
I don't remember, and I'm not sure where "who handed that kid a marker?!" ends and "art" begins. When I was about 3, I would draw pictures and have my mom staple them together into a book. I would narrate the story that went with the pictures for my mom to write down at the bottom of each page. Hilariously, these stories and drawings tended to revolve around lampposts/street lights, which I affectionately and for no apparent reason (certainly I knew the actual proper name for them) referred to as "dong-dongs." (Don't judge. >_>)


4. James Bond: Sean Connery or Daniel Craig?
I'm not sure if I should admit to this but...I've never actually watched a James Bond movie. >_> So I'm not that familiar with the Bonds...of course, that's not what your mother said last night. *shot* (Get it? It's clever 'cause...oh, okay, you get it; never mind.)


5. Who was your first childhood friend? How did you meet?
A neighbor down the street in the first house I remember living in. As I recall, I was about three years old at the time. I think I saw her riding her tricycle up and down the sidewalk and told her that I had one kind of like it. We compared what random crap we stowed in the secret compartments under the seats. XD I was jealous because my trike was lame pink and purple and hers was red.


6. What was the first computer your family owned?
I don't know what kind it was (I was pretty little...four? though I think we had it before that and I'd just never used it up until then), but it could only display text -- orange text (on the black background). My dad says it was a generic/off-brand version of an IBM XT?


7. First moment you realized you were in love:
Oh, there's a moment where this happens? Hm. Usually the moments where I (re-)realize this are due to really stupid little things, like realizing we just spent forty-five minutes talking about something silly. (Unfortunately, the only example I can think of cannot be described in polite company. XD) I don't know if there was ever a time where I said, "Aha! I am now in love, whereas I was not when I had previously assessed the situation!"


8. What's the best thing someone can do for you when you're sad/upset/depressed?
Probably depends on why I'm feeling that way and who the person in question is. But I would say, "Let's look at pictures of fish and make comments about them!" or "Here's a cat!" or "You must see this hilarious video!" usually work. (Or hugs if I know the person especially well...but sadness is kind of awkward so distraction is usually better. >_> Assuming the problem causing it is not something huge that must be addressed promptly.)


9. What accent do you have? (country/region)
As a Nebraskan, I believe my accent qualifies as "General American." (Though technically it's...Midwestern, or something? But I'm in the "most similar to General American" region, according to Wikipedia.)


10. Play "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon", starting with yourself. You can do it. Kevin Bacon links to everyone, eventually.
Can I use that my high school world religions teacher was something like Kevin Bacon's second cousin? XD
Ooh! Also, Kevin Bacon has been on The Colbert Report; Cat Stevens has also been on The Colbert Report; Cat Stevens is my third cousin. There! Does that work?




My questions for you:
1. What is the most worn-out/used/abused book on your bookshelf? (Is it because you read it a lot, or did you just buy a really worn used book?)
2. Someone is calling! You answer on a nearby hilariously non-phone object (i.e. banana). What is it?
3. If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?
4. What's your favorite song when you're angry? (Or just an example of one you listen to when you're in that mood, if you don't have a favorite.)
5. What's the best class you've ever taken? Why?
6. What sight makes you cringe?
7. When you know that you get that "today is not a productive day" feeling, what do you usually end up doing with your time?
8. What's the strangest gift you've ever received?
9. If you could spontaneously acquire one talent of your choice, what would it be?
10. And a really weird one: What kind of fish are you?

I tag...hmmmm...

I'm pretty sure you're the only/main two who read my journals, but anyone else who wants to is free to! Just make sure to tell me when you've posted it so I can read your answers.
