boredom!
So I just discovered etsy.com. I had heard of it before, but only because my friend used to sell the jewelry she made on there. I just realized that people sell a bunch of really awesome handmade things on there for all sorts of stuff. Like, cult-ish TV-related stuff. And we all know what an addict I am for TV. It's entirely possible I funded my own Christmas morning in the span of an hour. Things I bought because I'm a ridiculous idiot:
1. "Treat Yo Self" keychain
2. Set of 4 16oz Glasses with Arrested Development characters/quotes etched into them
3. Leslie Knope painting
4. Liz Lemon painting (these paintings are in the same style and shall be hung next to each other)
5. "Happy Waffle" necklace (which I'm probably going to take off the necklace and use as a keychain)
In other words, I am insane. And bored. I was watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," which just came in the mail. Seasons 1-5 that I'm watching for the first time. I love this show!! I needed to see something on IMDB, though, and got severely side-tracked. So now I am here. Here's this thing that was on someone's tumblr and I feel like doing it as a survey. So here it is.
1: What is your full name? Lisa Marie Moucheron
2: Have you ever stolen something, and if yes what was it? Yes, I stole my Biology lab book from the campus bookstore my freshman year at WVU. I am clearly very rebellious.
3: Do you believe in love at first sight? "Immediate attraction is pure narcissism," as Dr. Maura Isles would say.
4: Type the first complete paragraph on page 74 of the nearest book to you. "It was a huge rush. I felt taller, better looking, and excited to party. I wanted to listen to really loud music and dance until the sun came up. Physically, I had the energy of Wonder Woman and emotionally, I felt more connected to the world, closer to my friends, and at peace with life. It was total euphoria--for the first few hours, at least." -'unSweetined' by Jodie Sweetin (television's Stephanie Tanner...lol)
5: What can you smell right now? I don't have the sense of smell. But I imagine if I could smell, it would be tacos.
6: Post a picture of your current workspace. The place I am currently "working" in at this moment? Or the place where I work at my job? Either one, I don't have a picture of...
7: Which is your favourite fanfic and why? There are too many!! I shall narrow it down to one each for my top 3 OTPs...
Alex/Olivia: Spark Hybrid Synthesis (This is a series.)
Rizzoli/Isles: This Time I'm Not Leaving without You
Leslie/Ben: How Ben Wyatt Quits The Government and Finds Himself (That was literally the hardest decision to make out of all 3 fandoms. There are so many other quality Leslie/Ben fics. Almost every single one posted on leslie_ben, to be honest.)
8: write a short poem about the person you are currently in love with. (You do not need to mention who they are.) eros wells up in me, unbidden,
whenever my mind turns to thoughts of you
i've tried to push them down,
burying them in the dark recesses,
but your presence lingers, unwanted.
you smile and touch my arm, unaware
of the power you have over me
9: Do you keep a scrapbook? If yes, what do you put in it? No, I buy scrapbooking things every once and awhile when I decide I want to be crafty, but they're never for actual scrapbooking. I've used stuff for weird shoebox dioramas I've made, and I have a whole Parks-themed display planned out.
10: Reply to this with ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’ in your own handwriting.
(I can write both forward & backward in cursive)
11: Which city or town were you born in? Pittsburgh, PA
12: How long can you hold your breath for? Well, I got to 40 seconds and then freaked out that my alveoli were going to burst, which I'm sure doesn't actually happen...
13: Press ctrl + V in the reply box and publish your answer. (Let’s see what you last copied.) That’s not true. I wanted to wear my bathrobe and eat peanut clusters all day. I wanted to start drinking in the morning. Don’t say that I don’t have goals!
14: What can you currently hear? I hear the ticking of the clock. I am lying here. But the room is not pitch dark.
15: What is the colour of your shirt? Green
16: What colour are your socks today? Black
17: If you could have any type of hair and hairdo you wished for, how would you choose to have your hair? I want Maura Isles hair.
18: What is the worst thing that’s been shown at the West End or Broadway in your lifetime? Everything I've gone to see has been good, so I can't really speak with authority on things I haven't seen. But I really don't care for Spring Awakening.
19: What are your OTPs? As mentioned above, and several other times, the main 3 are Alex/Olivia from SVU, Rizzoli/Isles from Rizzoli & Isles, and Leslie/Ben from Parks & Recreation.
20: Which popular ships do you disagree with? Jack/Liz is really the only one that sticks out to me.
21: Have you ever written fanfiction? Yes, but sadly I haven't in a really long time. I think the last time I started something, it was for Mary Tyler Moore and it was a Rhoda/Phyllis story. And it only got about 1 page into it before I got too busy. I do have several ideas for both Rizzoli/Isles and Leslie/Ben stories. Who knows if they'll ever come to fruition.
22: List all of the celebrities you have met personally. Sherry Lewis, Kurt Angle, Kathleen Madigan, Judy Gold, Brian d'Arcy James, Marc Kudisch, Kristin Chenoweth, Julia Murney, Terri Clark, Raul Esparza, Susan Blackwell, Hunter Bell, Jeff Bowen, Heidi Blickenstaff, Margaret Cho, Allison Janney, Stephanie J.

61: Have you ever lied about your name? If yes, which name did you use instead of your own? When I was 14, I wanted to join the WWFDiva_Slash yahoogroup, but you had to be 18 to join. So I created a different email address and went by the name Micala Rhiannon Anna. I got the name Micala Rhiannon from a fanfic where Tori and XPac named their child that, and then Anna was because I had a crush on this guy named Brian Anna in 9th grade.
