Tagging anyone who wants to play. :)
1. Do you play a musical instrument? Which one? If not, what would you choose to play, if you could?
I can actually. I learned how to play the alto saxophone in the sixth grade. I played in the school band up until the beginning of my senior year. I was teaching myself to play the guitar and piano one summer, but got too frustrated and quit lol.
2. What's the most frightening nightmare you've ever had?
My brother and I were running up a hill from something we couldn’t see (a lot of somethings - zombies or some sort of creatures maybe) when we suddenly hit a brick wall. The last thing I remember from the nightmare before waking up was my brother’s hands hitting the wall as he said, “Oh my God,” over and over again as whatever was chasing us got closer and closer. I had that nightmare years ago and it is still so very vivid in my mind. I can still remember most of it.
3. You can live in any one of the following: Westeros, Storybrooke, Middle Earth, or the Potterverse, which do you choose, and why? (BTW I feel like the Potterverse is too easy a choice so as a caveat I add that if you pick this one then you will not be a Super-Duper Talented Witch/Wizard but a strictly ~mediocre one, LOL.)
Middle Earth; because I could definitely get use to the hobbit lifestyle lol. Yes, I would totally be a hobbit.
4. Which fictional character (in any medium, TV, movies, books) reminds you most of yourself?
Dean Winchester from Supernatural. Being the eldest, having that responsibility to take care of a younger sibling, always feeling guilty about things out of my control, never wanting to ask for help and forever repressing my feelings.
5. In honor of the Veronica Mars movie getting funded by fandom: what are your opinions of Veronica herself, and any or all of the following--Keith, Wallace, Logan, Mac, and of VMars the show?
I’ve never seen the show. I have all three seasons on my external hardrive waiting to be watched, but unfortunately it is just on a very long list of tv shows that I plan on watching one day but never start.
6. Name a book/movie/fictional work of some kind that's had a huge impact on your worldview, and explain how/why.
Oh my gosh, I have no idea. I read a lot as a kiddo, but not so much as I got older. It’s one of my few regrets. I remember my biology teacher giving me “The Hot Zone” by Richard Preston to read in the 10th grade. I wanted to become a epidemiologist/virologist after reading that book. The idea of trying to solve a puzzle that could save millions of lives struck me in a way I hadn’t experienced before. I always wanted to be a detective, and the possibility of combining that dream with science was so appealing to me then. It still is I guess. I lack the ambition to ever really chase that dream.
7. What was your reaction to Jo March's arc/storyline over the course of the Little Women series? :DDD
I’ve never read it. *Hides again*
8. God, I'm terrible at thinking up questions, IDEK. Um...Hmm...OK, you're going to die tomorrow and are given the opportunity to choose one last meal, your last on earth. No holds barred, you can have anything. What do you order?
A super large pepporoni pizza from Peter Piper Pizza; a 12 pack of Big Red (soda); two packages of Oreo cookies and a gallon of milk.
9. What would your Daemon be, in the His Dark Materials-verse?
Again, never read it. LOL. Jesus. I feel so left out lol.
10. Most rage-inducing fandom experience you've ever had, either as an observer or a participant (that you are willing to share! LOL.) Describe. How'd you deal with it? Was it different from how you deal with fandom bullshit in general?
Oh man, Damon stans saying he didn’t rape Caroline on one of my tumblr gifset. Those who victim blame and say Damon is the tragic and misunderstood one and harass others for calling him out on his misogynistic-rapist behavior. Most of the time I scroll right past that bullshit and try to ignore it. However, some comments got so incredibly disgusting I had to respond to some of them. It ended being such a clusterfuck in the end.
I ended up inflowing a close friend because she came out of nowhere and said Damon didn’t rape Caroline and that she was already going to sleep with him so it wasn’t rape. I was so angry with her comment I just unfollowed her. I feel bad now when I see her url pop up on my dash, but I can’t with that line of thinking. I tried to respect her and her opinions, but that was the last straw. She worships Matt and believes he can do no wrong. Ships him with Rebekah, but hates her and says she feels more empathy towards Klaus in their relationship. So yeah…UNFOLLOW.
The TVD fandom in general is a pain and you will surely have something rage inducing to deal with on a daily basis. It’s hard to pick out just one experience, but that one took the cake this year.
