Did some cleaning up in the f-list area. If you want to be added back or you want to be taken off, let me know.

In the meantime, meme stolen from [info]quizzicalsphinx

1. My username is ______ because ______.


Twowishesleft because I saw it on the license plate of a really nice car. Actually, it looked more like 2WshsLft or something. But, that's where I got it from. I was intrigued by it. If I had three wishes, would my first one be a car? Would I hoard them or blow them all in one sitting? It's a very uplifting thing to think about and it kinda makes me smile when I'm reminded of where I got this from. That's why.

2. My name is _____ because ______.

Nikki. Because it's my name. It used to be Nikki Tara, but it isn't anymore for fear of giving too much away. I served a girl coffee yesterday named Tara and I said, "Oh! That's my middle name," and she replied, "No shit. My middle name is Nicole." And we had a little bonding moment. This is my attempt to make this response interesting.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

"It's not a violin", because one of the most offensive things you can do to a violist is call him a violinist. Pretty self-explanatory.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

It doesn't have a cool name solely because I haven't come up with one. If you have a good idea, by all means, tell me what I should write.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

My default changes a lot. I'm actually getting tired of this one. It's from a webcomic called Questionable Content. The quote went something like, "There is no God, only Harrison Ford and his chiseled jawline," and readers thought that was so awesome that they demanded t-shirts. There was a blue one, an orange one, and...a pink one, I think. I got the orange one. Hence the color. For years my userpic was a black and white picture of a woman from the hips down wearing a garter belt [see current icon]. It was neutral, it was pretty, and it sure as shit got people's attention. I think I am going to go back to it eventually.


6. My LJ name (you know how you can change that sort of sub-name thing?) is:

I don't have one, again, because I never came up with one. I betcha Rachie would have a good subname for me. Someone give me an idea.


And then there's this one, stolen from Shira:


My Personality
Neuroticism
21
Extraversion
68
Openness to Experience
78
Agreeableness
22
Conscientiousness
19
You do not feel nervous in social situations, and have a good impression of what others think of you, however you feel strong cravings and urges that you have difficulty resisting. You tend to prefer short-term pleasures and rewards over long-term consequences. You are not prone to spells of energetic high spirits. You are a moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy. You find helping other people genuinely rewarding and are generally willing to assist those who are in need. You find that doing things for others is a form of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice, however you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You are a reasonably organized person and like to have a certain amount of routine in your life.

Answer to [info]macdawgversion2's question. [Mar. 15th, 2008|04:01 pm]

His suggestion was to write about what turns me on. That's a pretty easy one.

Nothing is a bigger turn on than a quick wit. To quote the fabulous V from Violent Acres, "If a guy made me laugh until my sides hurt, the panties were coming down."

I know most girls will say that kind of thing. They'll insist personality is the most important factor in their mate-selection, but they go out and date the handsome brainless douchebag instead. Now, I could never say that I don't find handsome brainless douchebags attractive - they are handsome after all - but I could never ever ever date a tool like that, nor could I sleep with one. A penis without a brain is useless to me, and one without a sense of humor is even moreso. There are plenty of crazy intelligent and handsome men out there, but if they can't make me laugh... I'm just not interested.

That was more about my turn-offs, but you get the general idea.

If you want the more R-rated version... )

This is actually a pretty cool one. Stolen from [info]macdawgversion2 [Mar. 11th, 2008|03:30 pm]

Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, religion, drugs, etc. Be patient with my replies to appear.

Optionally, post this in your journal.

First line of every blah blah blah )

Wow. My year started off really shitty. And got really shitty again halfway through. But the rest of it was pretty freakin' swell.

Voice posts are fun, right? You get to hear funny accents if your friends are from far, far away. All we really want is to hear your voice, we don't care what you're saying. So here's a list of typical meme questions that would otherwise be boring, but when communicated aloud - well, it's entertaining. Answer these questions in your post,and encourage others with voice-posting abilities to do the same.

1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) Is it cold where you are?
5) What's the time?
6) What are you wearing?
7) What was the last thing you listened to?
8) What was the last thing you ate?
9) What was the last thing you watched on tv?
10) What's your favorite tv show? Why?
11) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
12) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
13) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.

[Current Mood | blah]

A. 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 have a sort of unnatural obsession with houses and interior decorating. I love stores like Pier 1 and other decorating/design places. I especially love old homes. The tudor kind or the old farmhouse kind. Yeah. Looove them. I go 'house hunting' on every car trip, whether I say it out loud or not. I'm constantly thinking to myself what I would do with that house if it were mine, where things would go, etc. I can not wait for a place of my own simply for the ability to redecorate. That's going to be the highlight of my life, no joke.

2. I don't like chocolate ice cream. It just doesn't taste like chocolate.

3. I bit my nails all my life up until last year. It used to be something I had to do or else I'd go crazy, but one day I just stopped, cold turkey. I didn't decide to stop or anything, the need to do it was just... gone. Now they're so brittle that they wind up breaking on their own before they get very long or, if they do get too long for me to play my viola comfortably, I bite them off and start over again.

4. As much as I love my violent, testosterone-raging action films, chick flicks still make me cry. I am a pansy.

5. I have a big fascination with the Old West, post Civil War. I love reading about how it affected people, having a union where either party still hated the other's guts. Also: outlaws. I have some sort of fetish for people like Doc Holliday and the James brothers and the Youngers and Bloody Bill and... ugh. I would have been Jesse James' concubine, totally.

6. I don't eat fast food. Even before Super Size Me came out and scared people away, I just found it vile. Every once in a while I do hear the call, beckoning me toward a big greasy cheeseburger. I still can't do a fast food burger, though. I especially loathe Taco Bell. What a shitpile. When I was a little kid, just looking at taco meat would make me nauseous because I thought it looked like rat turds.

7. Porcelain dolls freak me out. I could never keep one in my house. I think this is a result of staying up past my bedtime to watch Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes on Nickelodeon.

I'm tagging my whole friends list. Do it, bitches. Except Lauren. Because she tagged me first.

There. I'm not breaking any rules.
