I love you, honey! And yes, we are very cute.

Posting the picture of us with Jared again. Because I can.

Who tagged me: SARAHNADES, THATSSIRGWAINETOYOU

This tag is to get to know the person behind the blog better. As with any tagging game, there are rules:

Rule 1 – post the rules. 
Rule 2 – Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 11 new ones. 
Rule 3 – Tag 11 people and link them to your post. 
Rule 4 – Let them know you’ve tagged them.

From Sarah:

1. If you could become any supernatural being, what would you want to be?

I would be a shape-shifter. I wouldn’t use my powers for evil. I just think it would be hilarious to extensively troll everyone and orchestrate elaborate practical jokes.

2. What is your favorite time of year, and why?

Autumn. I like the way the air feels, and I like the colours, and all my favourite outfits are autumn outfits. Plus, it’s the season of Halloween and Bonfire Night!

3. If you could change one thing in your favorite fictional universe, what would you change?

Well, right now it’s the Jump the Track RPG, and I wouldn’t change a thing!

4. Oh no!  Zombie apocalypse!  Would you be: a) The person who takes charge of the group, b) The getaway driver, c) The gun-happy, super skilled zombie killer, d) The one trying to find a cure, e) The one who gets heartless fast, f) The martyr, g) The bait

I’ve always felt like I have this incredibly violent and ruthless side to me that’s just stewing away beneath the surface. I have a lot of repressed rage. So I think I’d probably be c. Yeah, I like to think that if the zombie apocalypse actually happened I would turn into BRUCE FUCKING CAMPBELL.

5. What food or beverage combination is the most delicious thing in the world to you?

Well, I’ve always said that peanut butter will go with everything. And that bacon will go with everything. Why did I not think of combining these two superfoods before? Luckily, Sarah was on hand to remedy this recently, and introduced me to the peanut butter and bacon sandwich. Oh, sweet baby Jesus.

6. What or who do you believe in the most?

Sarah, her uncanny tulpa abilities, and her uncanny always-mak-me-feel-better abilities.

7. Do you have any tattoos/would you ever get a tattoo?  Of what?

I would love to get a tattoo! The only reason I haven’t yet is because I’m so indecisive about what I want. I’m going to get one this summer though for sure, and I know what I’m getting, but I can’t say what because it’s a surprise! Also, I might change my mind again in which case I’d look foolish.

8. If you could go back in time to any time period, where would you go and why?

Fin de Siecle Paris. Because then I could hang out with Charles Baudelaire, and Theophile Gautier, and Oscar Wilde, and go to the Moulin Rouge, and discuss art in cafes while drinking absinthe.

9. What celebrity or fictional character would you swap wardrobes with in a heartbeat?

Dita von Teese. Even though I’m possibly one of the laziest people when it comes to appearance. Or Annie Edison from Community. Or Parker from Leverage. Or Cassie Ainsworth from Skins. And yes, I know they all have very different styles. But I’m a fucking chameleon. And possibly slightly ADD.

10. Cake or pie?

Pie

11. What is your favourite tradition?

Well, I love Halloween and everything about it, but we are pretty crap at doing Halloween properly here in England. Boo! But I adore everything Halloween-related. I also love Guy Fawkes Night, or Bonfire Night, which we Brits do exceptionally well, as it’s a home-grown tradition. I love how fucked up it is. We basically celebrate the time our parliament was almost blown up, and the perpetrators were horribly tortured and killed. And we burn a motherfucking effigy! Awesomesauce.

From Miriam:

1. Your happiest childhood memory?

I don’t know if there’s one particular event, but I was happiest when I was playing by myself in the garden during the summer holidays. I’d make up elaborate imaginary games, which usually involved some kind of natural disaster where I had to fight for survival, or would involve me operating some kind of elaborate flying machine.

2. Your favourite book?

I don’t know that I have one particular favourite (can you detect a pattern emerging? I’m indecisive as all get out!), but one of my all-time faves is Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. It’s a collection of poems by one of the forerunners of the Decadent movement. He wrote about things like lesbian sex, the joys of drinking, and the joys of finding rotting corpses at the side of the road. Fantastic stuff.

3. If you could spend one day as another human being, which one would it be?

Probably someone I really hate, like Rick Santorum (he’s the only person I can think of right now, but rest assured, I hate LOTS OF PEOPLE). And then I would completely fuck their life up, and get caught doing terrible things and discredit them in the eyes of others forever. I think I’m just in a vengeful mood right now. But seriously, the world would be so much better.

4. If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?

The means to take care of the people I love, the ability to be able to see things I would like to own on the internet and wish them into my house, Bernard’s watch (from a kids’ TV show that was on when I was little about a boy who had a watch that could stop time, enabling him to do things while everyone else was frozen. No one would be able to accuse me of procrastination again).

5. Your favourite song?

Again, I have lots of favourites, but I’m always in the mood for Alice Cooper’s ‘Poison’

6. If you could visit one place on this world right now (via beaming or sth), which place would you choose?

Beecher, Illinois

7. Do you believe in the concept of a/a few soulmate(s)?

I do, yes. I don’t know that everyone’s lucky enough to find theirs, and I don’t know that there’s anything ~mystical about it, but I think some people are just perfectly suited to one another.

8. Your favourite flower?

I love lilies, and also hydrangeas.

9. If you could change one thing about yourself (inside or outside), what would you change?

I would definitely get rid of my procrastination. I would probably rule the world right now if it weren’t for that. And everyone would have access to all the gay porn they could want. So you see what you are all missing out on here.

10. You favourite kind of tea?

I LOVE TEA SO MUCH!!! I think my favourite is white tea with raspberry. Omnomnom.

11. What inspires you the most?

My girlfriend. She is so kind, despite all the setbacks she’s had, and she’s such a total badass. She always fights for what’s right, and inspires me to do the same. She is generous to a fault, and has a wicked sense of humour. Not to mention she is incredibly talented, and has a way with words that I envy, and she inspires me to become a better writer. She has no idea how incredible she is, and I love her very much.

People I’m Tagging

Please note that this is where I descend into complete social awkwardness, because not that many people talk to me, and I am shy and I don’t want to ambush someone with a meme unless I know them fairly well and am reasonably confident that they won’t be pissed off about it. I DON’T KNOW 11 PEOPLE! Fuck my life. Ugh. Okay. I’m sorry. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to! And if you think we are friends here and I didn’t tag you, I’m sorry about that as well! I just get shy and I worry that people don’t like me, and that’s probably why, because I feel like maybe you’ll hate me if I tag you. Okay, here goes. </spazz>
