First of all, a big smooshy thanks to celleri_kun for starting the process of illustrating Danse Macabre - Ghost Story for me for imaginarybeasts. I'm so excited!

Second, I've reached a new level of name stupidity. Last night, the delivery guy who brought my Insomnia cookies thought I was "Mexican" because "Iliana [sic] is a Mexican name, right?" Um, no. Just...no.

Also, I've finished all the tv shows on my hard drive. Other than Babylon 5 (yes, allandaros, I know, and I'm working on it), what do people suggest?

And, despite the fact that I didn't go to services this year, I'll do my annual Jew thing: I'm going to have a moment of religious thought: to all who read this, please forgive me for any cruel/thoughtless/rude I have done to you during the past year. According to Jewish law, the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are to be spent in reflection over the past year, including tying up any loose ends and making amends for mistakes made. We're supposed to ask people for forgiveness for anything we might have done to them and if they refuse three times, we are forgiven by God because we've made an effort. I don't really believe that God is sitting up there keeping track, but I'd like to know that I've been forgiven for stupid things I've done, rather than letting them fester. I'd like to know if you have forgiven me, but it's not a huge deal, as long as you have.

And now to update my planner so I can see just how much homework I have. *facepalm*

1. Are you in a relationship?
No.

2. Do you hate more than 3 people?
No, not really. I try not to expend that much energy on people I dislike.

3. How many houses have you lived in?
Two: the NYC duplex and the house in Wheaton.

4. What is your favorite candy bar?
Mars bars! Or Flake. British candy is better.

5. What are your favorite shoes?
Birkenstocks! Or the dom boots. Or my new Converse All Stars. Or...

6. Have you ever tripped someone?
Certainly.

HIST111 - Medieval History, aka Baby's First Lecture

8. What was your favorite subject class this year?
THET116 - Intro to [Theatrical] Design

Heh, no. But I do still have *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and LFO sitting around at home somewhere...

10. Have you ever thrown up in public?
No, happily.

11. Name something that's always on your mind.
Stargate, I suppose.

12. What is your favorite music genre?

8:45a

15. Do you like beer?
Bleh, no.

16. Have you ever made a prank call?
Good times.

The aforementioned boy bands. Or trying to not explain Zumanity to Da.

18. Are you sarcastic?
Am I ever not?

20. How many watches do you own?
Just the one.

21. Summer or winter?
Summer. I have a deep psychological dislike of snow.

Spring, I suppose.

Black or denim.

Dr. Pepper, bitches.

The dorm? Any available theatre? Yeah, something like that.

27. Have you ever slapped someone?
Yeah.

Yes, four, because the enamel is weak in four identical spots on my bicuspids.

One each at home and at the dorm.

Tropical fish named after classical composers.

Only when I'm onstage.

35. Name 3 teachers from your (former) school:
High school? Hines, Krebs, Frezzo. Easy.

36. American Eagle or Abercrombie?
Neither, kthx. (Though I do own AE jeans, so I suppose I have to go with that. I'm so ashamed.)

37. Are you too forgiving?
Depends. Hurt me, I tend to forgive you because it's not worth the effort to stay angry. Hurt my friends, your ass is mine.

Yes. The dom boots, one of the faux corsets, my Pride wristband, a shirt, a belt...

Captain Crunch or cheese grits.

No way.

Yesterday, actually.

No, not really.

Beyond the white for Sound of Music, dye has never been near my hair.

Well, I have friends, duh. And there are a few people who seem to enjoy themselves confusing me, so I dunno.

ReBoot! Lol, it's such a good show and coming back to life at the moment so I say yes. And um, maybe get some of the Terry Pratchett mini-dramas for when you catch up with Discworld. Other than that, I don't watch much tv so I am no help.

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Ugh, ReBoot, I remember watching it when it was first on TV. I liked the premise of the characters being forced to play the games, but I wasn't so pleased with it otherwise.

Did you ever make it to the third and fourth season? Because that was when it got good. The earlier seasons were funny and episodic, very much for the Y7 age group. But those last two seasons were absolutely incredibly especially compared to the other drivel that Toonami showed in that time block. I say give it another go.

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

I don't remember, I never really watched it consistently, so I don't know what I was seeing.

I'll see if I can get my hands on it.

I haven't really gone to services since I started college, since I couldn't figure out which temple to go to and I don't believe in god anyway. I am, however, very upset about not having found time to do a tashlich walk yet this year.
