TALENTS
Can you sing? Well... it's not so bad that dogs break out into violent howling or babies start crying, but it ain't exactly good.
Can you dance? A bit of ballet and some funky (read: cheesy) disco moves.
Can you play a musical instrument(s)? Piano/Keyboard
Can you perform/act? Yes, I've played in some community theater pieces.
Are you creative/artistic? I write, try to draw and do computer art.
Are you good with managing money? When it comes to food/clothes/appliances and sorts then yeah, but I am a sucker for books and dvds, my room is filled with them.
FAVORITES
Color: Purple
Smell: Mmm, I don't think I have a favourite smell. Perhaps the smell of my bed. Does that count as a smell?
Place: My own little corner, in my own little chair. My bed. Now don't you think I am lazy (which I totally am, but that's not the point.) My bed is soft and comfy, so I can sit there and read a good book or listen to music. Plus my tv is placed at the end, so I can watch tv while being warm and comfertable.
Music: Showtunes.
ONE OR THE OTHER
(Do you act on) Impulse or thinking things through? I think things through, though it does me little good. It makes me a bit neurotic to be quit frank.
Mind over heart or heart over mind? Mind over heart.
Fame or fortune? Fame. I'm really like Achiles, I shudder at the thought of dying and not being remembered.
Selfishness or selflessness? Selfishness
EXTRA
If you knew you'd be trapped in the cellar of The Opera House, what 5 things would you bring?
Flashlight
A Sweater (it's damp down there)
Some kind of weapon
Blueprints/Map of the Opera House
My copy of Leroux, so I could read it down there.
Describe yourself in one word: Dudette
Got any dreams or aspirations? I want at least one person in the world to read one of my stories and end up thinking "That was an entertaining story. I had fun reading it."
What would you say is your motto? Life is like going to the movies, sure the seat you are sitting on is sticky and some brat a few rows behind of you is throwing popcorn in your hair, but all that matters is, is that you have a fun time and feel satisfied when the screen goes black.
Out of curiousity, how did you find this community? Heard it from a friend
Anything else? Nope
