pavarian for a meme! Haha my answers are all very boring.
If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own lj and replace any question that you dislike with a new question. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
What song are you currently addicted to?
Defying Gravity, a song from Wicked, the musical, and sung in Glee. I love the Chris Colfer (aka Kurt) version!
~I'm through accepting limits, coz someone says they're so. Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try, I'll never know.~
What books are you currently reading?
Stuck somewhere in the middle of Servant of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist/Janny Wurts. Was interested in Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear for the last week but too confused by all the Faerie references. And now, alas, I've started reading the first book of Sacrifices, a Harry Potter AU fanfic.
What's the most enjoyable thing you've done today?
Unfortunately it's been a not very enjoyable day. Meeting in the morning, then got arrowed in the middle of lunch and had to drop my meal to run up to office to get told to do some work by the afternoon. Bleah. But the work itself was quite fun, drawing more diagrams on Word. :D
What is the one skill you wish you had?
Being able to play a musical instrument (if I were more unrealistic, I'd say two or more). Like, the violin. Or the oboe. Or the piano. All of which I love.
What is your favorite historical era?
Eh? Probably the Edo period in Japan. I watch too many Bakufu-related dramas.
What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
DBSK is definitely one of them. x_x Hahaha. I have an everlasting obsession with Gundams and Gunpla, certainly. And FMA because I'm watching the anime and it's so darn good.
What's your favorite song to dance to?
Lol. I'd have to say Nobody by Wonder Girls. I love the "I want nobody nobody but you" part. Abracadabra by Brown-Eyed Girls is a close second.
What Web sites do you always visit when you go online?
Facebook, Twitter, Gmail. The sites where I get my weekly fix of torrents e.g. EZTV for Lost, Eclipse for FMA.
What was the last thing you bought?
A T-shirt from Muji. Yes, I succumbed!
Which fictional character do you think you're most like?
Haha I shall say someone obscure. Lord John Grey from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, in some ways. I also really identify with Snape, but I'm not really like him.
What book do you think everyone should read?
Wars of Light and Shadow, Janny Wurts. She makes all other fantasy novels pale in comparison.
Do you get cravings? If so, what do you crave?
Sweet things. Don't get me started or I'll start craving something again.
What is the best place you've ever been?
Um, I haven't been to a lot of places so I'll say the best is the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia. I loved the 12 Apostles.
What was the last meal you ate?
Half a meal :( Prawn noodles with pork ribs.
Do you want to learn another language?
I want to learn Cantonese, but that's more of a dialect than a language. I also want to be more proficient in Japanese - somehow I can't still get the hang of conversational Japanese.
Six things you can't live without.
Well if I go by the hierarchy of needs, I could say things like food, water, sleep, etc. But okay, I shall not be so inane.
Good food (not just food, because one needs to be discerning about what one puts into one's mouth). Internet access. Music (my mp3 player is my life). Bittorrent (where else would I get my fix of dramas/animes?). My mom (seriously, I should be ashamed to say this, but I'm not, I rely on my mom for almost everything in life, haha). A goodly amount of cynicism.
Find the closest book currently sitting near you and flip to page 54. What is the first sentence of the second paragraph?
"An aptly named city." from Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear.
A favorite childhood memory?
Sitting in front of the radio. Every time I hear a retro song I relive this memory. ^__^
What are you looking forward to?
ORD. Life in SAF sucks.
