Tagged by goddess_loki. Considering I have a bunch of newish friends and I never really post anything that isn't fandom related, this might be kind of interesting? IDK.

a. people who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
b. tag eight people. don't refuse to do that. don't tag who tagged you. I tag whoever wants to do it. I'm bordering on the edge of sick and feeling way lazy so psh.



1. What are your nicknames? Em, Emmy. I used to get called by my last name by this one kid in high school -- he thought it was cool? And I'm "The Roadrunner" over on FF.net (that place I never visit anymore and should really delete my account...)

2. How do you style your hair? Up in a ponytail. If it's not being weird I'll wear it down, but otherwise? It's usually up. Otherwise I start playing with it a lot.

3. What's new in your life right now? I have a renewed love for Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Tina Fey. I'm blaming it on the upcoming election.

4. What color shirt are you wearing now? Black with a red/white/blue heavy metal sign and white and red lettering.

5. Are you an introvert or extrovert? So an introvert. I'm even an introvert over the internet. I have to talk myself into IMing people about things because I don't want to bug them. I blame it on my childhood.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone? Both. I'm not going to pick.

7. Do you nap a lot? Lately my body seems to be telling me that I really should? But no, not as a rule.

8. If the person you secretly like is already taken, what would you do? Probably go on secretly liking them for a while, and then not see them in ages and almost completely forget about it. *nods*

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days? My stress levels?

10. What was the last thing you ate today? Mexican pizza. Probably the best Mexican pizza I've ever had from this place. I don't know who the new kid was making it, but it was good.

11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? I am so low maintenance it isn't even funny. Like -- five to ten minutes tops.

12. What websites do you visit daily? LJ, Yahoo!Mail, Google. (Usually it's Google Images, but still Google nontheless.)

13. When you were a kid, did you want to grow up to do what you're doing now? I'm not grown up yet. Still doing the college thing.

14. If you could make anyone your personal butler/maid for the day, who would it be? I'm going to be completely shallow and say Jensen Ackles (Because OMG PRETTY.) And he wouldn't be my butler, he'd be my pool boy. (It's my fantasy, leave me alone.)

15. What’s the last song that got stuck in your head? "Human" by The Killers. And just the second verse, because it's one of the most awesome series of lyrics I've heard from new music in ages.

16. What is your primary music-playing contraption? iPod and/or laptop. Depends where I am and what I'm doing.

17. What's better: eternal love or memorable love? Memorable love. Because at least if it doesn't last forever, you know you made an impact.

18. What would you do if you saw $100 lying on the ground? Place it towards my college education. It's sorely needed.

19. What would be your one incentive for changing your gender? ...None. I enjoy being a girl for the most part.

20. Favorite ice cream topping? If I had to pick one? Whipped cream. But I don't really do toppings on my ice cream, I do stuff in my ice cream.

Embarrassment

- I fucking swear regularly. I'm from Jersey. Obscenities are like our second language.
- I sing in the shower. And ramble in character at myself. That's because when I write I'm a dialogue person, so I need to hear how it sounds. Shower is me time.

::hugs:: Feel better soon? And I'm very glad I tagged you. It's nice to learn more about you than the fandomy stuff.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Here's hoping. But I have a nice long weekend, so hoping that I stop feeling bleh.

And yay! I'm glad you now know more about me.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

Long weekends are nice. Oh, how I miss them...

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

By some strange stroke of luck, I wound up with a free day tomorrow and so my only class left for the week is my 9:50 on Friday. So I'm basically considering myself on weekend time now.
