Meme: Questions

[throughaphase]

Hey so I know we had a meme yesterday but sometimes you wake up at 12:45 in the god damn morning and can't sleep and so you give up and spend that time coming up with sooo many questions for a meme you last did in April. I have to be up in two hours.

And actually looking at that last post I wonder how long I've been sleeping weird. ANYWAY.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow students, teachers, townies, alumni and expatriates, and they will answer them. These are IC questions and IC answers and should be truthful! They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course and etc.

So, for example, I'd ping in with a question like 'Are you in love? If so, with who? If not, why not?' And people ping in under me and answer that question. There's no latesies on this, because of the format, so people can ping in at their leisure. And ANYONE can ask questions!

The classic: Are you in love? With who? If not, why not?

[joan_of_bark]

Yes, very much so. With my own Harley Quinn.

[throughaphase]

How long have you been in Fandom now?

[joan_of_bark]

A few weeks, give or take.

[throughaphase]

What would you be doing if you weren't in Fandom?

[joan_of_bark]

Spending time in my little house in West Seattle. Plotting someone's downfall, probably.

[throughaphase]

How long does someone need to be around before you stop calling them "new guy/girl"?

[thatwaslucky]

I don't know that I've actually called anyone that, but I'd say when I get used to seeing them places.

[throughaphase]

Do you have a workout routine? What is it?

[thatwaslucky]

I train pretty much daily in the morning, sometimes later if I'm working through something.

[throughaphase]

Is there anyone on island you'd like to get to know better?

[thatwaslucky]

Cal, Lydia, Adrian, Yelena... Honestly if I've talked to you I probably want to know you better.

[throughaphase]

Is there anyone on island you feel kinda weird/awkward/what have you about?

[joan_of_bark]

Well. It's safe to say I didn't expect the younger, alternate-universe version of Harley.

[throughaphase]

What's something you will talk about at length if given the opportunity?

[joan_of_bark]

Industrialization, capitalism, and its destructive effect on the environment. 'Eco-friendly' products that greenwash terrible practices.

Horticulture.

[throughaphase]

What's your relationship status and how do you feel about it?

[joan_of_bark]

... It's complicated.

It feels like a break. Or there may just not be any perfect situation where both Harley and I can be together and happy. Or... I don't know.

But I know she'll be there for me if I come find her.

[throughaphase]

What did you do on your last birthday?

[thatwaslucky]

Nothing. I talked to my friends from home, which I do most days anyway. Just a normal day.

[throughaphase]

What other languages do you speak, if any?

[deathsmajesty]

Sticking just to Earth languages or we'll be here a very long time, Spanish, Cajun French which is sure going to be fun to use in Montreal next week, Italian, a good chunk of Latin, a decent amount of German...

It's easier for my cheaty Planeswalker bullshit to build off of other languages I have learned already, so picking up English and Spanish first have really helped thus far with the others.

[throughaphase]

How would you describe your sexual orientation?

[joan_of_bark]

Bisexual, heavily leaning towards women.

[throughaphase]

What are your thoughts on marriage?

[joan_of_bark]

It's an outdated, patriarchal institution designed to keep women trapped and oppressed, and we should be rid of it.

[throughaphase]

What are your thoughts on having kids?

[joan_of_bark]

There's no single thing you can do as a regular person that is as destructive to the environment as having a child.

[throughaphase]

How much care do you put into your appearance?

[joan_of_bark]

I was blessed by the genetic lottery, but I don't particularly care much otherwise, unless I have to make an impression for some reason or another.

[throughaphase]

How do you take your coffee? Are you particular about it?

[joan_of_bark]

Black, and made with sustainably farmed beans.

[throughaphase]

Are you where you thought you'd be at this point in your life?

[joan_of_bark]

I think it's safe to say nothing in my life worked out the way I planned it to when I was 20.

[throughaphase]

What's something everyone else seems to like but you can't stand?

[deathsmajesty]

Do-gooding.

[throughaphase]

What's the worst anyone has ever hurt you?

[joan_of_bark]

I should probably say Woodrue, shouldn't I? When he nearly killed me with his experiments.

...

Harley helping Bella strip me of my power and most of my connection to the Green makes a good second.

[throughaphase]

Is there anyone you would very much not want to come see you at Parents Weekend?

[joan_of_bark]

Bella.

[throughaphase]

What's your favorite season and why?

[joan_of_bark]

All seasons are equally valid. (Spring, when life stirs back up from the soil.)

[throughaphase]

Are you a hugger? How do you feel about people touching you?

[joan_of_bark]

I'd say I'm a medium hugger. I don't have any hang-ups about it. Currently I have to be careful not to let the lamia infect whoever I touch, but short-term exposure is fine.

[throughaphase]

What would you say your job is?

[thatwaslucky]

I think I say I work at Stark's but mostly I'm training. I don't know that I can say Jedi is a job.

[throughaphase]

Do you think you're good at making friends?

[joan_of_bark]

When I want to be.

It's letting myself want to that can be a problem.

[throughaphase]

Do you have a type?

[joan_of_bark]

Clever and passionate. (Sometimes that gets me in trouble.)
