My last entry for [livejournal.com profile] billysgirl5 for the January Meme.

She asked if you could go anywhere, no matter the cost or anything else, where would it be and why?

Umm, I'm going to go with 2 answers. 1 is the religious one, I want to go to Hajj, the pilgrimage to the sacred city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia (wiki version) because it's crazy expensive. The second is a world tour haha. No, if I had to pick one place it'd be New Zealand. I've always heard amazing things about it, and I've ALWAYS wanted to see Australia and I really just want to travel EVERYWHERE, but yeah that's at the top.

Hope you've enjoyed a little more insight into me! It's been an awesome month revealing some things about myself and rambling on haha

(My February Picture Meme is still open!)

So [livejournal.com profile] sassy_cissa asked me about the one blog/website I check daily for the January Meme

Besides my e-mail, it's probably Pinterest. Tumblr sometimes, but yeah I'm hooked on Pinterest. SO MANY PRETTY PICTURES.

So [livejournal.com profile] locknkey asked me how I got into SPN fandom for the january meme

I first started to delve into fic a little bit (J2 fic) by [livejournal.com profile] annella and she and [livejournal.com profile] frances_veritas would continually post about it. It was mid-season 2. My first episode was Roadkill. I ADORED Sam and was ehh about Dean bc of the way he acted with the chick. But then. Heart. Oh man, my heart was gone with that episode haha. I started from Season 1, INHALED it (while I was in my freshman year of college *facepalm*) and yeah, that's my story haha. Then became obsessed and fell in love with the boys and the show.

I missed yesterday's entry for the January Meme for [livejournal.com profile] billysgirl5 who asked me for my favorite food and drink.

Umm, this varies on the day hahha

I do love Dr Pepper any time. I also like strawberry lemonade (extra strawberry!)

Food-wise, again, depends on the day. Lasagna, most Italian, chicken tikka, makhni chicken, bombay ranch pizza, alfredo pizza, almost all things with sugar, cotton candy, spinach dip, broccoli cheese casserole, omg the list is endless haha

Clearly, I indulge more than I should *facepalm*

No good answer for this, sorry lol

So today's post from the is from [livejournal.com profile] the_milky_way who asked Teen Wolf. Talk about anything you want: like, dislike, OTP ;)

Okay so I'm going to preface this by saying that a lot of what I love/adore/etc is brought upon by peer pressure or essentially I am EASILY swayed by other people's thoughts and ideas. It's a problem. (Ex: I always loved Scott, but started to hate him JUST a little bit because a few fics I read really delved into the betrayal of Scott to Stiles and Derek in S2 re: Gerard)

I recently really got into TW. I had watched it since Season 1, but ngl, the growth of Stile's hair made him uber desirable (on more than a personality level, bc I always loved him, but made him into a 'hot damn he's hot' - I never claimed not to be shallow) and thus propelled me into fandom. This past summer got me super into Tyler Hoechlin/Dylan O'Brien - esp. after watching the comic con interview with them (
reference here) and yeah. THEN, I realized there was a WHOLE TON of Stiles/Derek fic and yeah, game over. I've been reading them NON STOP. It's a problem in that I've been reading fic and not getting any real work stuff done haha

Okay, I like that the writing is usually pretty awesome - the characterizations of Stiles and Scott's relationship has always been a fave. I love the idea of Scott/Allison and Stiles/Derek. Isaac, I've kinda adored because of fanon rather than canon (does anyone else have moments of: is this canon or fanon?!). Umm I don't like that Derek is ALWAYS suffering - it's like the show's creator seriously hates him. Can we just give him SOME happiness? Like how hard would it have been to just keep Laura alive. Seriously. Anyway, I like it for the most part, just small things here and there methinks. And seriously, it's come a long way since the first season wherein I just tolerated it hahahah

for the january meme, [livejournal.com profile] sassy_cissa asked me what my favorite book is.

Obvious choice is Harry Potter series (the first one in particular). I loved that series - first fandom, first obsession, first fic, all of it. I loved getting lost in a world of magic. I love the feeling of the book in my hands, the pages worn as I had read them over and over again. I loved the elation within me when the new ones would come out. All of it.

Beyond that, I in general love chick-lit-ish that has humor within it (Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella? AWESOME). I like to read young adult novels a lot (The Fault in Our Stars by John Green? AMAZING. The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen? A FAVE.)

But yeah, idk, I just like well written books. If we're going to go with classics, though, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Giver, and The Outsiders are prob my top 3 (omg the Giver is being made into a MOVIE!!!)

first off, thanks go out to [livejournal.com profile] fiercelynormal for this icon. JENSEN WAS FIXING JENSEN'S TIE AND JARED'S ALL CHILL. fsldkfjslkdfj ugh I love them so much.

Anyway, today's january meme inspired entry is from [livejournal.com profile] billysgirl5 who asked for my biggest pet peeve.

Unfortunately, I have a lot. But my main 2 are unnecessary putting down of people and jealousy for stupid things

My sis has the latter and is always 'woe is me, why does she have that and I don't' grrrr.

The first one is prevalent everywhere, but really in my school. The students don't realize that the crap they say hurts someone. 'Gay' is not allowed in my presence at ALL because it's always used in a derogatory way and the kids know that. If they say something mean or do something mean, they get a look from me, and are told to apologize. It's a small thing I can do, but I do what I can to let them know it's not okay.

hee, 18th for [livejournal.com profile] elless18 for the January Meme.

She asked me What's your first memory and how old were you?

Man, I don't even KNOW. My memory is spotty at best - last week is a struggle some days, let me tell you.

Okay so this is a SUPER random one. I was six and had been back in Kenya for the first time since moving to the US. My mom and I went first because her mom was super sick (bed ridden) and so I had been there for about two weeks before my dad and my sister arrived (she had school). Anyway, so they arrived that day and I held my dad's hand and he trailed after me as I introduced him to everyone - whom he obviously knew, being married to my mom for YEARS. But all I remember is me pointing out each person and proudly telling my dad who they were as my dad greeted them.

LOL Sorry L, if you were hoping for something else. I can't remember my earliest memory - everything is super fragmented.

[livejournal.com profile] locknkey asked me about my biggest accomplishment for the january meme.

I was going to go with graduating college and securing a real job, but I feel like it's an accomplishment, but not my BIGGEST. I don't think I've actually achieved my biggest accomplishment yet. I would want my biggest accomplishment to be the moment I've figured out how I'm happy - or in a job that truly inspires me. All I've wanted for the past 4 years is to figure out what I'm meant to do. I have realized that teaching isn't for me, maybe in small doses, but not whole class. I love a lot of aspects of it, but I can't deal with everyone being on different levels and the disrespect thing, nu uh.

So yeah, haven't had my biggest accomplishment yet, but I'll get there. Life's a journey after all, to be cliche!

For the January Meme, [livejournal.com profile] enchanted_jae asked me the joys and frustrations of modding a comm/fest

Okay I mod a few comms, but I haven't done any fests (omg you people are SAINTS btw)

[livejournal.com profile] spnnewsletter - easy bc I've got an AWESOME team. Can get a bit frustrating based on crazy comments or entries when I'm coding or weird requests, but super cool
[livejournal.com profile] dailyjsquared - sigh, I'm a failure at this one haha. Part of it is that most pics are just con pics and I don't think there are as many EVENT things and such now you know? Not that I don't ADORE any and all J2 pics, but I forget to do it every day and idk if I have enough pics and such
[livejournal.com profile] notjustroomates - it was awesome to start, and has just become another j2 comm, that I don't even know if people post at. The enthusiasm and participation was low and thus it's just hanging around :/
[livejournal.com profile] collidefics - fic comm, wish I posted more cause I wanna finish things *facepalm*
[livejournal.com profile] comment_away - dead :/
[livejournal.com profile] hd_fluff - the one Jae wanted to know about haha. I like this comm because there's always participation, it's super casual, and I get to mod it with Jae - keeping in touch with my Harry/Draco side!

So I don't mind modding, because I've had it pretty easy. The joys are simple - awesome things produced. The frustrations are easy to get over (mainly they are time things because I'm usually a punctual person and when certain things don't happen aka prompts and pics posted not on time, it causes a weird thing in my belly. I've learned to get over that though and just roll with it)

hahah this wasn't supposed to get that long.

At the January Meme [livejournal.com profile] billysgirl5 asked me my all time favorite movie.


Umm...I don't have one? I adore many movies - bollywood and english alike - and like different things in each one. Bollywood might be the family ones (Hum Saath Saath Hain, Hum Apke Hain Kaun, Kal Ho Na Ho, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, throw in Dostana and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na with some Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and 3 Idiots thrown in). English is anything with humor, romance, and some action. I LOVE Superhero movies (Marvel ones in particular, sorry Batman, ilu but Iron Man is my faaaaaaave) but I also love RomComs.

So. There is no ONE favorite movie. I like lots. hahahah, sorry man!

From the January Meme, [livejournal.com profile] dugindeep asked me my top 5 J2 moments.

This was an evil question, and I'm not surprised it came from you, Ms. A. So...I cheated.

And if you want more J2 love: Jared and Jensen's Epic Bromance

For the January Meme wherein [livejournal.com profile] deirdre_c asked me cat person or dog person or neither?

Umm...neither? I like seeing pictures, but for some reason, I am irrationally afraid of all animals haha. I've never really been in close contact with dogs, but this summer I was in the same house as a Bengal kitten (a few months old) and JUMPED every time she got close to me. Like I said, irrational fear. I just have a weird sensation that they can hurt me and tend to not get too close. (Got made super fun of by my cousins 'cause of the cat though haha)

I did play with her a little (made her jump in the air with her little toys and stuff - that was pretty cool to see)

Re: January Meme

[livejournal.com profile] wendy asked how I take my coffee...

Umm, very sweet and with lots of creamer?

Hhaha I don't like real coffee (coffeepot coffee I should clarify). I love the smell, I love the fics, and I love the idea, but the real thing is too strong. So I love flavored creamer (french vanilla or white chocolate) with it.

I drink lots of mochas (my fave is the zebra/tuxedo mocha where it's half mocha half white chocolate mocha).

I like espresso drinks I guess, but sweet and milky haha

So my regular order at Starbucks is a tall marble mocha, nonfat milk, no whip, extra hot (peppermint marble mocha during the holidays!)

Also, saw Teen Wolf! OMG. The acting of Dylan is ALWAYS a fave. And unfortunately my 'Wolf Watch' got cut off after 2 minutes, so I only heard Dylan saying Derek is sexy and everyone would want that haha. I can only IMAGINE the number of fics after that and the pain tidbit (not going into that).

It's still the fifth!!

Meme from here where [livejournal.com profile] billysgirl5 asked my favorite or first concert.

We'll go with favorite, because I don't think my first really counted?

Anyway, I saw Matt Nathanson almost 2 years ago and it was AMAZING. Unfortunately, I went alone, but I still had a good time. I fell in love with his music all over again (I blame [livejournal.com profile] _mournthewicked for falling in love in the first place) and had a blast! We were standing, crowded against the stage, laughing and singing along and it was fabulous :)

...it was the 5th when I started this entry at least haha. It's still the 5th on the West Coast ;)

Today's January Meme is for [livejournal.com profile] beckaandzac who asked Books that meant a lot to you as a kid

Well, Harry Potter is the obvious choice and I guess it depends on what you'd consider a kid. Elementary, I loved Ella Enchanted and got really into fairy tales in that sense [and some I can't remember]. Middle school was Harry Potter which because my fandom, my love of books developed even more, and I met all the awesome people. High School I ventured out a bit, reading everything I could get my hands on. And in college I fell in love with Sarah Dessen and Sophie Kinsella as authors (Can You Keep A Secret became one of my to go feel good books).

There's been a multitude of books that meant a lot to me and because of my crap memory I can't remember them all. I do remember summer reading books and being annoyed yet astounded by them (The Chosen by Chaim Potok and Farewell to Arms by Hemingway and The Razor's Edge)

A fave is always To Kill A Mockinbird of course, giving me a glimpse of raw stories. Another one I love but can never re-read is Kite Runner. Beautiful but achingly so.

....hope that answered that haha

I got a new layout! I made the header myself thanks to the awesome [livejournal.com profile] maichan's art. I'm thinking of adding some Harry/Draco. The server I had for rotating headers doesn't work any longer :(

So today's entry for the January Meme is for [livejournal.com profile] matchboximpala who asked What has been your greatest indulgence?

I would say my biggest indulgence is my pink Michael Kors bag. It was about 200 bucks, and I had a $50 gift card so paid 150 for it. It's the most I've spent on a purse haha, but I love it.



Unfortunately, I tend to indulge every time I go shopping. It's a problem how much I spend *facepalm* Trying to restrain myself though. [Even if I just bought the 40 dollar Fangasm book] I do tend to spend more on others though (weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and boy have there been lots of them lately!)

Remember, if you want me to blather on about anything this month, pick a day and a topic!

Legit copying [livejournal.com profile] deirdre_c, but she's so awesome, I know she won't mind!

Pick a date in January. Pick a topic. On the date you choose I will post something about that topic. It can be fandom-related or it can branch into hobbies, books, places, objects, academic matters, cats, beverages, whatever you want. If a topic is uncomfortable for me (very personal or potentially identifying) or simply something I don't know a thing about (unfamiliar canon, say), I may ask you to make a second choice. If you want to request more than one topic, pick a different day for each.
