::THE GEEK QUIZ::
Name as many geek things you are into and participate in on a day to day basis.
Video games - Holy crap, I've been a video game whore since forever and a day - certainly as long as I can remember, given that I was already game-crazy by the time I got an NES on my fifth birthday. And when I like a game, I LIKE a game - witness my Suikowhoredom and Personafandom.
Anime/manga - More manga than anime, simply because I can sit there in a bookstore and read them (and also because manga gives me the story a lot faster, and I'm an impatient bastard). Of course, this has led to me owning WAY MORE manga than I probably should, but that's OK! :D
Crafty stuff - You name it, I've been hardcore into it at some point (and probably still am to a certain extent). Rubber stamping, every kind of traditional art, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, sculpting, candlemaking...I've done it all. My current planned obsession is soapmaking with BPAL which I am DEFINITELY looking forward to doing. >D
History - I'm totally a history geek, especially when it comes to certain periods. I can ramble on about the Tudors or Queen Victoria or the like for ages, so don't get me started. XD
Mythology - Again, I've been interested in this as long as I can remember. I learned a lot of the stories when I learned to read Tarot cards at like 6 from my mom, who used the Mythic Tarot deck (Cupid and Psyche is still one of my favorite myths because of that). In fact, I like it so much I took Myth and Literature TWICE in undergrad, once not for credit and once for credit. XD
Also fromenkiae...
Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:
01. The first character I first fell in love with
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't
04. The character I love that everyone else hates
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer
06. The character I would shag anytime
07. The character I'd want to be like
08. The character I'd slap
09. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise
And a meme I was tagged for bysurlykitty:
Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 of your weird habits," and people who get tagged need to write a LJ entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
1) OK, those who have met me IRL probably have noticed that I often tap my leg with my fingers. What they probably don't know is that I'm actually typing out words (usually something that's just been said in a recent conversation) on a nonexistent keyboard in my lap. Yes, it sounds weird even to me, but I can't seem to stop it. D:
2) When I'm reading and I need to do something with both hands - like say, when I'm cooking in the kitchen - I splay the book out and hold it between my legs, using my thighs, so that I can waddle around doing whatever it is I need to do. (I can't think of a better way to describe it.) If I have to actually walk any distance to get something else I need, it gets very amusing to watch. XD
3) Every time I see a movie, I look it up on IMDb and see if any of the actors, no matter how small their part, have played any part (again, no matter how small) in other things I've seen - and usually specifically in Joss Whedon shows.
4) I vibrate my leg at odd times. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, really. It can happen when I'm excited, bored, or really just about any time.
5) When I go to museums, I have a very definite need to read everything - to go from exhibit to exhibit, reading the notes for each item and moving through in an orderly manner in order not to miss things. This means that it takes me forever to get through museum exhibits, though I've gotten pretty fast with it so now it only causes a problem with GINORMOUS museums like the Louvre or the British Museum.

Date: 2006-01-11 07:18 am (UTC)01. Jun! I totally bought EP for Jun, and then was disappointed to find out that he wasn't really major in it, but he had been major in EP. But if you mean the first character I actually fell in love with in-game, I'd have to go with sweetly dorky Katsuya.
02. Everyone? Seriously, I was not expecting such wonderful characterization from a video game, period. But if you need a specific person, probably Baofu.
03. THERE ARE NO CHARACTERS I DO NOT LOVE. (OK, except Miyabi, but everyone hates her.) However, I will say that the Velvet Room crew leave me kind of meh.
04. Er, I don't think there is anyone people really hate in Persona fandom. (Except for the aforementioned Miyabi, but I don't like her either, so... XD)
05. I will admit, I do love Ginko and Eikichi, but I forget when I haven't played IS for a while. Then I play the game or read the script and promptly fall back in love with them again.
06. Ahhhh, that's such a tossup! I'd have to go with either Tatsuya or Katsuya Suou, though, I'm afraid.
07. Maya! I want to be that nice and outgoing and lovably spastic!
08. Well, Miyabi is in need of a good bitchslapping. JENNY CRAIG, NOT JOKER-SAMA!
09. OMG TACCHI/JUN 4EVA!!!1! Also Maya/Katsuya, Ginko/Eikichi, and Baofu/Ulala.
10. Well, I don't despise it, but I don't get Maya/Tatsuya. HELLO SHE'S LIKE YOUR SISTER AND PLUS YOU'RE GAY. On the same note, while I find Tatsuya/Katsuya aesthetically pleasing, I find it highly unlikely plotwise.
Re: for the fandom meme
Date: 2006-01-11 07:18 am (UTC)Er, that second EP should be IS. x_x

Date: 2006-01-12 03:52 am (UTC)02. The Countess again...I thought she was kind of a cold fish at first, but by about five episodes in she was totally my favorite character in the series.
03. Novem...it's not that I dislike him, it's just that I don't have the love for him a lot of people seem to.
04. The Countess. (It seems like a lot of people don't like her and think she's a bitch. She totally is, but that's why she rocks so much!)
05. Um, I guess I'd have to say Fuu? Not that I don't love her to pieces, but her crush on Tatsuya got a little old after a while. HE'S IN LOVE WITH HIS SISTER, LET IT GO.
06. This is another one that's hard to decide. I would totally do just about every Gilgamesh character (including Tooru, which makes me feel dirty inside), but I'd have to say Fujisaki or the Countess.
07. I want Fujisaki's competence and badassness, and the Countess' total coolness.
08. Well, probably Fuu or Kiyoko. I've already gone into the reasons for Fuu, but as for Kiyoko...ALIEN BABIES KILL, mmkay?
09. Tatsuya/Kiyoko (CANON INCEST WOOHOO), Countess/everyone (because who doesn't have the hots for the Countess?).
10. Kiyoko/Novem. I just never got the whole connection thing between them, honestly.
