Seems I've been tagged by ...
If she wasn't such a cool person that I admire... Yeah, I'd do it anyways because memes amuse me.

Here are the rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts.
4. At the end post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named.
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.

1. I made friends with Harry Turtledove's daughter recently and had no clue until this past Saturday that she was related to him. Hur. Small world. Small cosplay-filled world.

2. I've only tried to play D&D twice. I've never had the patience with it to actually learn all the rules about dice and stats involved... The first time I tried I was asked to never-ever play again less than 10 minutes in-- because I annoyed the DM half to death. Not with valid questions, but because my druid elf wanted to go pick flowers and try to plant them in the door rather than attempt to open the suspicious-looking door leading into the mountainside. He told me I'd have to roll to try and when I asked him what I'd need to roll, he wouldn't answer me, and the other players started trying to join me in the covering-over-the-door-with-flowers plan. Matters degraded from there.

3. I've been involved in putting people in car trunks 4 times in my life that I recall. Of the memorable ones were when three girls taped *shibamura-prime's little brother up with painter's tape and put him in ~vampirate777's trunk -- we never drove anywhere with him like that. The other particularly memorable one was when Beau voluntarily jumped in the trunk of a friend's car and closed the lid beind him. He rode that way from dinner to the movie theater. I was in the car following, and we seriously considered tapping the bumper of our friend's car, just to scare Beau.

4. I will always wonder if anyone ever saw my fellow university anime club members sitting out on the 3rd story ledge of the Ag' building Tuesday nights. (They decided it was easier than going downstairs and outside to smoke.)

5. I know a pyromaniac. He works for the Department of Homeland Security. Live in fear.

6. I have a serious weak spot for gold eyes and long or fluffy hair --preferably in light colors-- for my fictional characters. In real life, I tend to crush-on/date guys with dark hair and blue or green eyes... although draw to the soft fluffy hair remains a constant. And yes, I have met someone with naturally gold eyes in real life.

7. One of my most memorable experiences as a bridesmaid out of the three weddings I've been IN, was the magnetic clasp pearl necklaces from Jenni's. It was a running gag to relieve Jenni's stress-- the 3 of us would look at each other, scream "BITCH!!!", and rip the necklace off of the other, then calmly put on whichever necklace we had just grabbed.
Mine hangs from the rear-view mirror of my car along with a string of Buddist prayer/meditation beads given to me by my brother and a silver 7-pointed star.

8. Watching Firefly makes my Southern accent come out stronger. I normally barely have an accent, but let me watch and quote along with Firefly for a few episodes and I'll have a noticeable accent for the next few days. Going "home" to visit my friends doesn't really do that-- of course none of us really have strong Southern accents naturally.

Hmmm...who can I tag? Eh... Do it if you want. I don't feel like picking on people about it at the moment.



On a side note... If I bothered to actually get a paypal account and start doing art commissions... would anyone be interested? Genuinely? Not the --"Oh, if only..." sort of interested. I don't do that to artists, and I don't like having that done to me (cosplay accessories, prints, printed webcomics, etc).

Anyhoo... I may try writing up a commissions info page --I'm gonna need halp there. If I actually get interest, I'll set up a paypal and start doing them.

But I do want to get all of my art trades that are in queue done first.


EDIT: Do not use my comment areas to "pimp" your art. Comments that are nothing but your user icon or have nothing constructive to say aside from linking me to an art piece of yours that has little or no relation to mine are not going to stay up, I'm gonna hide that crud-- because it pisses me off. I don't care if the link to something is in yor signature, but these comments that are nothing but :icon-insert-user-name-here: or "LAWL. That'z kewl! I sang in my shower this morning. Oh Hei! Check out my completely unrelated art piece!"
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot people. And I do not want to know what you did in the shower this morning, thank you very much. That's creepy and uninvited info.
