The rules are:
A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
B. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
(I'm not tagging people, because I don't like doing that and it's my journal. If you want, go for it.)
01. What are your nicknames?
Jackel. Crash. Every now and again, one that is specific to the person using it.
02. How do you style your hair?
Well, I try and keep it brushed and relatively clean most of the time, which is mostly a losing battle. Right now I'm dying it purple and blue; that counts as style, right? It's certainly the most elaborate ongoing thing I've ever done to my hair. I like it French braided, but as I cannot do this myself, I rarely wear it that way.
03. What's new in your life right now?
New puppy Coba blue!!!!! Also, a new pair of glasses, as of this morning. While still pissed that I have to wear them at all, being able to see is really, really nice. And they look ok.
04. How many colours are you wearing now?
Blue for the denim, black t-shirt, black and white socks, black and white striped sleeves, silver belt buckle. Oh, and the hair. It's purple.
05. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
hah. I am so much an introvert.
06. What was the last book you read?
In the middle of 'Tamsin' by Peter Beagle, which is good stuff. Before that, 'Twilight', unfortunately, which isn't.
07. Do you nap a lot?
No. Sometimes I nap, usually when my sleep schedule got thrown off somehow.
08. If the person you secretly like is already in a relationship, what would you do?
Well, the first thing, I suppose, is to find out if she had any attraction to me. I'd like this to be a simple question, but I get so awkward and scared in these situations...initiating relationships is not my best thing. If interest exists, I'd find out if they were open to the poly thing and discuss the situation frankly with both of them...again, this is so much easier in theory than in reality. Of course, in an ideal world I would be at least somewhat attracted to both of them and figure out some sort of mutually pleasant arrangement (but of course it doesn't always work that way). I am uncomfortable if I can't at least be pretty decent friends with my metamours.
If poly is out, then I back off gracefully, live with my emotions, and hope that I can maintain the friendship with the person.
09. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Spectravixen's accident makes me very unhappy, though I'm really pleased that she seems to be pulling through and healing. Other than that, there's nothing new making me unhappy. I've a few things that didn't go the way I would have wished, and there are some grief processes I am working though right now, but I try not to allow them to color the other very happy things going on too badly. That's life, there's always both.
10. What's your favorite dessert?
mmmmmmmchocolate. chocolate and mint, vanilla, mousse, ice cream...just good chocolate. Right now, there's this thing called a chocolate teton that the Whole Foods in Oakland sometimes has. it's like a chocolate pyramid filled with the most delicious mousse stuff. Sooooooo good.
Godiva chocolates are the best kind. Never had better.
11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
That depends on what I'm getting ready for. Given that the first thing I usually do in the morning is walk my dogs, about as long as it takes to find a pair of jeans and a shirt in the pile at the foot of my bed and get my shoes on. Sometimes, I even brush my hair first.
12. What websites do you visit daily?
I'm not online daily, but mostly. Email, usually LJ and FA.
13. What classes are you taking right now? And if you're not in school any more, what's your job?
Just took a farrier science class, and am seriously considering finding a silverworking/jewelry class to take. I am self employed at the moment and doing a lot of things to accomplish the whole 'survival' goal.
14. Do you like to clean?
I hate to clean. I do it often enough that I don't live in a sty, however.
15. What's the last song that got stuck in your head?
I don't want to think about it because it might get stuck there again.
16. What's the last movie you saw?
'Milk', and it was wonderful. Everyone should go see it.
17. What's better: eternal love or memorable love?
I don't know that I believe in eternal love because I don't know that I believe in eternal anything. I will say that once I love, I appear to stay that way indefinitely, and at this point I'm not certain if that is a blessing or a curse. Probably both. I have a hard time even conceiving of love that isn't memorable...being one of the stronger emotions, it wouldn't be an easy thing to forget.
18. What is your least favorite thing to do that you have to do everyday?
um...clean the catbox and the kennel, maybe? I don't mind it that much, though.
19. Best time of your life?
Too many good times to say, some of which are, er, private. Being at the top of a mountain always ranks high, though, as does playing in tidepools. It's been a good life.
20. What are you most looking forward to in the coming month?
Dickens. Seeing Kestrel. Some things which may or may not happen.
