Meme

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 am a tea junkie.  I don't get headaches, but I do get cranky without my morning tea.  I'm totally spoiled on the nice stuff you get from Coffee Bean, which they don't have in my state, so I have to order it online.
2. I am addicted to sarongs and any wrap or faux-wrap clothing.
3. I am also an opera junkie.  Mozart and Verdi are my favorites.  I used to take friends of mine to operas in college.  We'd go in groups to dress rehearsals for cheap.  Ah, the privileges of studentdom.
4. I have vowed to read every book Lloyd Alexander ever wrote.  That's a lot of books.
5. This is a little embarrassing, but it WAS some time ago and I was having a spectacularly bad job experience and needed SOME way to cope.  I once made Final Fantasy 8 into a musical.  Fortunately, I made most of the songs nonspecific to the subject matter, so they're transplantable.  Some of 'em were good songs, too.  It was a great exercise.
6. On a related note, I tend to take video game tunes and write words to them.  Conversely, I set poems to music.  I doubt there's a Tolkien poem out there that hasn't been musicified by Tori.  Well, except the ones in the Lays of Beleriand.  'Cause those are an insane kinda long.  And also some in Adventures of Tom Bombadil.
7. My first kiss ever was done for the purpose of shutting him up.

I TAG:

Uh....

Already done it recently, alas. XD

I still tagged you, so I did my job. It didn't say I couldn't tag someone who already did it and is therefore not obligated to do it again. So we're both fine.

I also love opera. :D Especially Mozart! If you are ever in London, let me know. We'll go to ENO - they do a variety of cheap tickets. (Unlike ROH, eeeesh!)

A friend of mine is an opera critic for a web-zine and gets first night freebies as a result! Although, fun as going to the opera for free IS... attending with a critic can somewhat hamper one's enjoyment.

Oh. And at current count? I have 10 varieties of tea in my kitchen cabinet. :D

*glomp* A kindred spirit! XD I am currently sipping tea. And I WILL look you up on that glorious day I should go to London.

Hello, dahling! I'm back from my little va-cay. I came home with a nice tan & a better attitude. Man, it was exactly what I needed!

I see you tagged me. I don't have anyone to tag because I don't have any other friends on this account since I barely (and still don't exactly know how to) use it. But I'll do it just for you!

How's the story coming along?

I actually did a ton of bunnying on it today. It's coming along great!

...Or, if you're talking about The Halfway Point, that's also coming along well.

Actually I didn't really have a specific one in mind when I wrote that. What I really meant to write was 'stories' as opposed to its' singular form. But I'm glad to hear both are going well! You poor kid, working on two stories at the same time and having your fans' demand more! Well, at least you know you're a damn good author. You *do* know that, right?

*red* Well, thanks!
