The Killer Meme

The Great and the Good stopped by slowfox's LJ to pool their collective curiosity, and here's what they want to know about you:

Me, Myself, I

acemyth: What is your philosophy/motto in life?
Que sera sera. What happens, happens. No point in holding a grudge or moping around, eh?

cynthia_black: How did you choose your User Name, and what does it reveal of your character?
Apprently, according to one of those "what does your name say about you" sites, "Lucia" is a more fitting name than my own.
Doctor: I'm a fanfiction buff and wanted to have an imaginary degree in the subject.
Lucia: A name I always adored. And it's more Italian than mine.
Zephyr: Honest to God, it's my favorite word. So artistic.
Tanaka: In anime land, everyone has a Jap name.
Verboten: Italian for 'forbidden'.

aome: What did you want to be "when you grew up" when you were younger? If your current job/plans are different, why did you change?
Ages ago, I wanted to be a zoologist. Ha! Then I discovered how much better physics are. Then I became heavy into writing and gaming. So at this moment, I want to be a screenwriter or a game designer.

cycloethen: What was the worst nightmare you have ever had?
It may seem silly, but I was walking through the forest, all alone. And I knew I wouldn't be found and I'd die alone. Solitude scares me.

cedar85: Tell the story behind one or more of your scars (physical, not emotional).
*laughs hard* I have a scar right below my left eye. As the tale goes, I got it after being born. Mom was so doped on drugs, when she reached out to touch me, she nearly put my eye out. See, when they were working on her after administering the drugs, she could still feel it. It boggled the doctors, so they kept giving her more until she couldn't feel it anymore. Well, the drugs were just taking longer getting into her system and she got about three or four times the normal dosage. Hence her stoned-ness.

True story.

luminousmarble: What one thing would you like your great-great-grandchildren to know about you? What one thing would you NOT want them to know?
Good--- I was loyal, protective, and opinionated as fuck.
Bad--- My irrational fear of bees and wasps. *shivers*

naath: How do you learn (things-for-exams)?
Reading and lectures. I ask questions. I never take notes unless required. I kinda have semi-photographic memory. I hear things and remember them. It's a gift and I'm luck to have it.

bopeepsheep: What was the cause of the worst physical pain you have ever been in?
Migraine. My family has a medical history of the worst migraines in the world. Hell, my grandmother got them all the time about ten years ago. They hurt so much, we're hospitalized and many try suicide if not given serious medical attention.

til_midnight: Where do you live (a country is fine, just name a place)?
Missouri, USA, the Middle of Nowhere, Stronghold of the Hicks. I'm a geek in the farmers' world!

siriaeve: What is your biggest fear?
Bees and wasps.

Nostalgia Ain't What It Used to Be

amaterasu: What's the coolest thing you've ever done? (Not the best, or the most accomplished, or the most life-altering, just the coolest).
Geez... Been to New York City and enjoyed it? No idea really.

shelaghc: If you could change one event from your own personal history, what would it be and how would you change it?
That's private. Attempted rape on me isn't something I like to talk about.

linaelyn: Describe the one thing have you learned in the course of your education, either inside school or outside of it, which you consider the most valuable?
That I'm not infalliable.

dancingrain: What memory would call up your personal Patronus spell? (in other words, what memory is your happiest or sweetest?):
None. I have few memories that are that happy.

glissando: Describe the three best pairs of shoes that you've ever owned - favourites because of comfort, the way they look, the brand, any reason at all.
Comfort: Sneakers
Style: Black dress shoes for a wedding.
Other: Fun sandals that added two inches to my height. *laughs*

If I Ruled the World

eilanhp: If you could have been born and grown up somewhere else, where would that have been?
Canada, I wish. Or New Jersey/New York City. A blue state, I beg you!

praetorianguard: What would you demand in exchange for giving up your personal freedoms and civil liberties?
Mars. No one fucks with my rights.

wittywibbles: If there were no laws, which (former) crime would be the first you'd commit?
Oh my God.... Conartistry. I worship conartists, for they are the most intellegent and sly people on the planet.

nightfalltwen: If you could do one thing or grant one wish for someone else, what would it be?
Stop Howard Wells from ever bothering Nueva again.

therealmarajade: If you could know anything about your future, what would it be?
If I was happy.

annamilton: Owing to a peculiar concatenation of events, you are the wealthiest person in the world, and the latter will end in 24 hours. Money being no object, and saving the world being impossible, what would you do during that last day?
Read Douglas Adams much? Ah... Fly to Canada and take all TPTB of the SG series out for a social dinner with my group of friends. And buy Lancey and I a shiteload of games and have a tornament.

Then use my Sub-Etha Sens-O-Matic to hitchhike away with the aforementioned group. Damn Vogons!

laurelwood: If you could hunt down one childhood tormentor (whether it be bully, tattletale, mean teacher, or friend's mother who hated you for no good reason) and exact revenge upon them in some spectacular, prankish fashion without worry of consequences, who would you choose, and what would you do to him/her?
Brandon Forest Reeves. A pig-bastard I once called my best friend. Back in Florida, when I was a kid, he was my best friend. I moved away, came back to visit and he dispised me for no reason. To this day it haunts me.
I'd drop all his grades to 45% and take him out of the Gifted Thinking program via hacking. I was in it too, and he thinks he's so goddamn special. Take that pride away from him.

robynwepsley: If I offered you a chance to have anything you wanted, the cost being someone you didn't know dies, would you accept?
Jesus... omfg.... I can't answer that. I know I'd ask for college tuition, something I may not ever get, but at that cost.... I can't answer that. Sorry.

beccafran: If you could have any one superpower, what would it be?
Flight! Heh, I'd fly around the world and visit my friends! And then we'd all go to Vancover to stalk SG actors!

hailebop: If you could punch any one person from any point in history, who would you pick?
George W. Bush or Bill O'Reilly.

silverymist: If you were given the opportunity to live another life, what kind of life would you like to have?
I'd be a Tarantino-esque director/screenwriter who was insanely popular in small circles. I'd have started off in scenario writing for Insomniac Games. I'd be unattached to anyone, but have a large group of extremely close friends. I'd return to my high school reunion and all the jocks and preps who fucked with me would have boring, unsuccessful lives and be insanely jealous of me.

slytherincess: If you could alter history in one specific place, where would it be, and why?
Nov. 2, 2004. I think it's obvious why.

tolarian: Assuming you (or a group of friends) conquer Earth, which section(s) of the planet would you personally desire, and why?
Canada, obviously. Las Vegas, cause I love gambling. NYC, because it's NYC. Oh, and Scotland. Gotta preserve the World's Best Accent.

vanityfair: If you could, with no repercussions, subject anyone you wanted to one day of utter and complete torture, who would you choose, why would you choose them, and what would you do to them? Conversely, if you could give anyone you wanted (other than yourself) one day of perfect happiness, who/why/what would you choose?
Pain--- Dubbya. Make him choke on pretzels. All day long.
Happiness--- I can't choose...

katrionaa: What is your favorite artwork (painting, sculpture, etching, whatever) and why?

The Completely Hatstand Section

FALSE, BITCH!

wcspegasus: If you were a color, what would you be and why?
Midnight blue. Fun, mysterious, and totally uber.

A fuckin' fedora. Awesome, classic, and debonaire.

NO! It's ugly.

seren_himitsu: If you could ask your deity of choice one question and have it answered, what would you ask?
Thank God someone asked me this. And my way of life would change depending on its answer; I'd ask God if heaven was full of laughter or boring. If he told me boring, I'd continue as I am now, and wind up in Limbo with the semi-sinners.

moonrunner: True/False: Green buffalos come from Albania. (seriously, now.)
....wtf? No!

Seven million dollars. Okay, I'm exaggerating. Thre million.

piperx: Would you rather be

• a complete idiot with a charming personality
• intellectually brilliant but have no friends?

Erm.... the happy median? If not, genius. I'm sorry. Being an idiot scares me. I need my intellect. I need it.


jiggery_pokery: You can start any business of your choice, whether for-profit or non-profit, regardless of whether this business exists practically in the world or not and whether there's an existing business model to make your chosen business work or not. Irrespective of what it is, it will start off moderately successfully and eventually become very successful. You will make a very satisfactory wage and your investors/sponsors will be very pleased with your work. What business would you start?
A Society of Geekdom. Those poorer geeks come to us for quality, cheap. We finance games, computers, and other technology.

sofie_elisabeth: Would you sacrifice an unknown portion of your life so that a loved one could live for one more year?
No. One year isn't enough for me to gamble with my life.
