Long-ass meme to burn time while being slightly writer's-blocked, taken from quaere_verum_xi.


1. One of your scars: how did you get it?
The largest one I have: when I was... fifteen? sixteen? I had a large birthmark removed from my left arm. They thought it might have been pre-cancerous, but it was NOT A TOOMAAAH. It was about a half-inh wide, three-quarters of an inch long, but the scar in its place is a good two inches plus a bit. It's remarkable for being the palest part of my already too-pale skin.

2. What is on the walls in your room?
Going clockwise from the door: Ratatouille calendar, Miho from Megatokyo framed poster, strings of lights going all the way around, a gorgeous Farsi poem that's more art than text, an Assassin's Creed poster (mm, Altair), the piece of REAL ART I got in Burlington, the t-shirt I blockprinted at a hippie fair at St. Mark's Church, printed-out pictures of Sendhil, Spock, Adrian and Milo, and Reid (because two are in-character and two are just RL hotness), and a b&W picture of Obama.

3. Do you snore, grind your teeth, or talk in your sleep?
I had my tonsils removed to keep me from snoring, but I guess I still do it. I'm not positive if I talk, no one's told me I do but sometimes I wake myself up mid-word.

4. What type of music do you listen to?
Everything. Without exception, I will listen to everything and find at least a few songs I can enjoy. Yeah, even on the Christian radio station. My tastes run strongly indie-rock, female singer-songwriters, modern folk, what I refer to as "decaydance" even though a lot of bands so dubbed are not on the label.

Exactly 1 a.m.

A regulated sleep schedule, or at least not waking up every two hours.
