ladybug_archiveA. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."
1. I cannot STAND Ramen noodles or anything similar (such as soups that seem to have such noodles in them), and I honestly wonder why people think they're so great. Every time except one when I've eaten them, I've gotten very sick (like, fluish symptoms, nausea, and I think sometimes I've ended up right down in bed). And the time that didn't happen, it felt like it would. I would honestly like to know what it is in them that I have such a bad reaction to. And out of curiosity, is there anyone on the friends list who doesn't like them, either? **doubts it; saying you don't like them seems to be akin to saying you don't like pizza!** (I love pizza, BTW.)
2. If Ramen has vinegar, that could be it, because I know it doesn't agree with me. I cannot eat anything with vinegar.
EDIT: I was really tired when I posted, but I realized something while replying to comments. Vinegar on pickles doesn't bother me one bit. But put it on/through a salad and ... ugh.
3. Reading the YGO manga, including seeing Yami Marik's antics there, has definitely made me more brave and bold; my two most recent multi-chapters both have a sub-category of Horror and include some very bizarre things (yet still, I think, capture the flavor of most of my fics with squeeable elements). Though the first of those was inspired less by the YGO manga and more by Get Smart. Go figure. And in the second, most of the horrifying things happened only in Yami Bakura's mind (saving Kul Elna, which of course really did happen, though not quite the way he's shown by Yami Marik in the fic).
4. I have extreme problems with rough and cracking skin on my left foot. However, I have just discovered that Vaseline may be the best cure for it. (And finding some padded shoes....) Even the very worst and deepest crack has been healing now.
5. I almost always prefer one-on-one RPing to group RPs, so for a group RP to capture my attention it has to be really unique from the norm. It would be almost impossible for me to describe what appeals to me in one, however, since some with similar elements won't always catch my fancy. (But being gen and not allowing random cracky stuff in the main RP certainly helps.)
6. I will most likely always be loyal to the Gateway brand, even if my next computer doesn't happen to be one. **hugs her faithful Gateway, which is 9-10 years old now.**
7. I thrill and squee whenever anyone does fanart or fanfics for one of my verses. And sometimes I fantasize about the possible fanbase that might spring up if/when I get my doppelganger novel done, and how I would react to it. XD; I imagine myself shaking my head in amusement and disbelief as I look through the fanart and fanfics and see the off-the-wall pairings they'll make.
(Actually, I've already had that experience somewhat. A couple of years ago, I was informed that someone had used the mad scientist Alice Portman in a private fic of hers, reformed her, and had her and Rishid hook up. .____. Um, no. But ... points for imagination?)
Since you have to tag ... hm.
