Why am I up doing this?
Choose me a doppelganger!
1. Name:
Sheila Marie, it rolls off the tongue nicely, doesn’t it? (if you say it in front of a mirror it makes your lips pucker. Go on, try it).
2. Age:
20-ish. I’m sorry but I can’t explain why I’m that old, but I am.
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
It’d have to be a place where English is spoken.
Hmm. I’d like to say Scotland because the land sounds beautiful and I want some ale made from Heather plants, (plus the men there have sexy accents), however, I despise the cold and wet weather.
I’d also like to say Russia, maybe Moscow, because the architecture is sublime and that’s where ballerinas and contortionists come from, but sigh, that place is an ice burg waiting to happen. And they don’t speak English.
I’d also love to live in Georgia, because I love the people there. They are so welcoming and friendly and they have sweet tea, which is a gift from the gods of Wonderful Land. However, the bugs and the sweating 24/7 is just not worth it.
I live in San Diego and it’s not that great, so I can’t live here. And Mexico is out of the question.
New Zealand would be nice. They have fun animals and tourists. No. I don’t like tourists. I can’t live there.
Canada is a nice place, but too boring for me. No offense to anyone who lives there, (I happen to have a duel citizenship there, so technically I’m one of you).
It’d be cool to live in Ireland, but they’re repressed by the British and harassed by Fairies and their fairy politics. I also am part Irish, hence the name “Sheila Marie”, and I could live off potatoes no problem. So that’s a possible answer.
But I’ve decided a while ago that when I get married, wherever my husband wants to live I’ll live, unless I don’t like the place, then we’ll have to choose somewhere else. And if we must live somewhere I can’t stand, then I will go on many vacations to satisfy my need for…satisfaction.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like?
Ha! Usually, or just right now?
Let’s see. It would play my entrance music, (because everyone needs an entrance song). It would be candle lit, because ladies look the best in candle light. It would have a masseuse who’s a very attractive gay male who happens to be really good with his hands. There would be every kind of dessert imaginable. Mmm.
It would have a closet full of bodies. NOT DEAD BODIES! Bodies. So that I could try them on and wear whatever body I feel like. So instead of a closet of clothes, it’ll be a closet of bodies. So if I want to look sexy, I could get my sexy body out. If I want to look older, I could get my older body out. Etc, etc.
And of course this would be complete with awesome wigs of every color and jewelry of every bling and some really cool stockings. Stockings are “teh sex”.
Also it would contain all the sunglasses I keep “misplacing”. I go through 20 a year, it’s horrible.
It’ll also be magically locked because I need my alone time.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character?
I don’t have one. They are all amazing! But because I have to choose, I’d have to say Grumblyplank or whatever the name is of the professor woman who takes over Hagrid’s teaching job. She’s the only boring one I could think of. Professor Binns doesn’t count because he has an awesome history of being boring. Boring characters are my least favorite. (For those of you expecting someone evil; Just because a character is evil, doesn't mean they can't be liked).
6. Is the glass half empty or half full?
It would be full if the glass wasn’t so goddamn big!
7. Give us a quotation (Can be from a famous person, a song, or even a poem-whatever you want) you feel represents your life or personality.
You can’t ask me to pick just one! I could no sooner choose a star in the heavens. (that is an unintentional quote. 5 points to whomever guesses what movie that’s from). Here are two:
“Women who behave rarely make history” I found this on a button at the Renaissance Faire. First, Ren Faires are the Shit. Second, this applies to me because I am not a typical woman, (which most likely contradicts what I’ve written so far, but that’s what you get for asking typical questions online). I’m so much more! I prefer books over clothing; reading educates! I’m wonderfully compacted into a joyously clever, commanding, demanding, female. Why should women be ladies all the time? I have a high respect for the women who started woman's suffrage and kept with it. I'm not a Femenazi or anything, but of the few women who had the power to change things and did change them for the better of everyone, not just women or just men, are very righteous, genuine people.
and
“Do you not know I am a woman? When I think, I must speak.” This is from Will Shakespeare’s As You Like It. And I love him. We’re going to get married…But honestly, I am a woman and reading this quote totally applies. Will knows people and puts things so much more eloquently than I ever could. This quote also fits with the misbehaving quote above. Women shouldn’t be opinionated, but have you ever met one who’s not? Even though I’ve read most of his plays this semester in my Studies in Shakespeare, I’ve read many of his works outside of school, because I love his views of women and men and how everyone gets along. Jealous? Yes you are.
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends?
I’d like to say friends, but it would be a sad lie. My family comes first, because they are ones I can trust, and no, I do not have trust issues, that’s just my reason.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory?
Probably the one where my twin brother Sam and I were making up lyrics to a U2 song on vacation. I think we were in 7th grade. We go on various vacations throughout the year and they are very long car rides. Well my parents were playing a U2 cd, over and over and over again, to the point where we had the cd memorized. So Sam and I kept complaining about the music and wanted the cd changed, but my parents ignored us. We were sick of being ignored, so we started singing obnoxious lyrics along with the song, “But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” or whatever it was called.
We changed it to “But I still haven’t found my toilet” and sung about looking for our lost toilet paper and such. Very appropriate for a long car ride. It was great, and we were no longer ignored. We were grounded. BUT they did turn off the cd, which was our goal.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw?
I don’t have any flaws. Well perhaps a few and I have no idea which is the biggest. SO you get to choose!
~I have high expectations of everyone. Usually higher than my own of myself and usually impossible to reach. I’ve tried working on it, and it hasn’t worked. People just can’t please me.
~I must, must, must! be the center of attention. If I’m not I find a way, and if that doesn’t work, I find something else to do or leave. But it’s usually not a problem; people love my entertainment.
~I have a horrible habit of spending large sums of money. It’s all my hard earned money, but it’s such a bad habit. It’s usually on books to add to my extensive library, going on 600 books, and on fabric for the various costumes I make.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.?
Psh. I would have started the D.A.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations.
For some reason I do really well at the time and it always turns out good, but I get really ill afterwards. And moody. But that could be a female thing.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice?
I don’t like the word value so I’m changing it to “which is more important to you?” and I’d have to say that these two things coincide. You can’t have one or the other in life, society, or politics. Take any situation…buying a coffee, you need justice so that you know that you’re not paying 10 bucks for a latte, when you know it costs somewhere around 36 cents to make and less to produce. You need compassion for the poor girl behind the counter who “just works” there and doesn’t set the 10 dollar price.
I could bring up the court system, but if you’re still reading, you probably don’t want to read it anyways because everyone else has brought up the court system.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul?
I’m totally a child at heart. I don’t ever want to grow up. I understand why we should grow up, but growing up sucks and aging is even worse.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in?
I don’t know, but it can’t be Hufflepuff. (just for the record I’ve never been sorted into Hufflepuff and I don’t want to be, Harry got to choose, so I can choose as well. “Not Hufflepuff, not Hufflepuff…”). I’m not dissing Hufflepuff, I just know that I’m not one.
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
Bha! Do I have pictures!?! I fear I have too many, but I’d rather have more! And they are very big.
This is from New Years
This is my awesome Halloween costume! Yes I made it.
And a pistol. Those are my real nails by the way, never got fake ones in my life.
This one was at the Scottish Highland games…of San Diego.
Me messing around in a movie theater.
My twin brother and I, yes we look nothing alike.
