Books and 25 things
Feb. 6th, 2009 11:44 pmWent to borders and bought SO MUCH STUFF! BEST DAY THIS WEEK BY FAR! but considering my week, that isn't saying much. I bought books and i read my manga and i sat back, relaxed and tried not to think too much. It actually kind of worked.
Did this on facebook so sorry RL buddies who get this twice
25 Things
1- I am absolutely doing this because I was tagged by Sarah and Cait. I am not doing this because I was tagged by Tidah. So ET can just stay the hell away from me. I have an irrational fear of the thing, and have had it since before I can remember.
2- I like background characters in novels. Right now, my favorites are Marcus Flint and Theodore Nott from Harry Potter.
3- If I could play Quidditch, I would want to be a beater.
4- If I were sorted into a Hogwarts house, I would be in any other house than Gryffindor. Mostly because I am not brave. I am reasonably smart, loyal to the point of stupidity, and I am willing to sacrifice part of myself for something better.
5- I really love what I am doing. I may complain a lot about engineering, but I can’t see me doing anything else and enjoying it this much.
6- There was a time when I wanted to be a math and science teacher, but I decided that after essentially teaching people for four years in High School Math that I didn’t want to do that for the rest of my life.
7- I can explain the Bernoulli Equation off the top of my head, but I can’t add 5+8 or 5+7 without pausing for a moment and I can’t subtract negative numbers easily.
8- I have obsessive compulsive disorder. It doesn’t destroy my life, but it does make things difficult at times. I finish books even if I hate them, get up to arrange things at 3am and I will collect things, not because I want to but because I have to.
9- I read over 100 books last year. And only three of them sucked so badly that I almost overcame my obsessive compulsive disorder.
10- Twilight wasn’t one of them. I was surprised too.
11- I never wanted to be a vampire. I wanted to be a werewolf. Twilight only reassured me that I made the right choice.
12- I own hundreds of Japanese comic books. Last official count (made almost a year ago), I had over 550. I have probably bought at least a 150 since then.
13- When I was in fourth grade I dotted my I’s with circles. To this day if I am forced to write in script I put circles over my I’s. I don’t want to, I just do.
14- I talked like a valley girl when I was 9. If you get me started talking like that as a joke, I have a hard time stopping.
15- I am terrified of singing in public. Karaoke is my personal hell.
16- I have never watched an episode of American Idol. Other people doing Karaoke makes me nervous too.
17- I am named after a Companion from the TV Series Doctor Who. And nothing made my day more than hearing the Tenth Doctor on the new Doctor Who say “Nyssa”.
18- I don’t like dark chocolate. I also don’t like strawberries. But I will eat both if I am offered.
19- I don’t nap.
20- One of my most vivid memories was walking to my family’s graveyard in Sinchi Japan when I was 10. I didn’t know where we were going when we left. I was lead out of the house by my cousins and we walked down a tree lined road and past dead rice patties and if you looked to the east, you could see the ocean. I can still see it if I close my eyes.
21- When I was in Japan last time, I was given a good fortune at a shrine in Sendai. I tied it onto the line with all the others and I still hope every part of it comes true.
22- I had my first kiss in the band hall. I wasn’t in band, and I don’t think he was either.
23- I don’t scar easily. I have 8 scars I can see. Two are on my hands, two are on my lips (I cut myself on the dishwasher when I was 1), one is on my shoulder, one on my chest, one over my ribs and one on my stomach. The one over my ribs looks like a bullet wound.
24- I love clothes. I just don’t have the patience to go shopping.
25- My name means “sign” in Hebrew, “Friendly elf or fairy” in Scandinavian, and “woman” in Arabic. In Greek it is “goal” or “the beginning”. In Latin, it means “end”.
