veronicacode 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) When I discover some new food that I like, I'll keep gorging myself with it for the next 2 - 3 weeks (not everyday, but almost every other day) until I'm sick & tired of it. After that, I'll lose my interest and will not crave for it again.
2) I'm addicted to the Internet. I surf in the office, when I reach home until it's bedtime. It's worse on hols / weekend - from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. But I don't aimlessly surf - I'll always be on LJ, ff.net, or G-market. I know - so boring, huh.
3) I hate socialising.... period. I don't mean going out with girlfriends but casual dinners between colleagues and the big boss who is on his annual visit, office functions, wedding dinners where you do not know anybody else except the bride/groom, parties where you do not know anyone else but the host. Why? Because I hate making small talk - I find it fake and patronising. Bottomline - I'm anti-social?? Ha Ha Ha
4) I have a fiery temper. Anything & everything can just trigger me off, but then I also simmer down pretty fast. After that I would feel like a real bitch and apologise (well, most of the time if I did lose it for no valid reason). But usually only my family and good friends see this side of me. That's so wrong, right? But I'm truly think that I can be my true self with people that love me whom I care and am comfortable with.......
5) I have the attention span of a 6 year old. I will lose interest in stuff pretty quickly - especially sports/health related ones.
Eg :
1) I picked up inline skating and was very enthusiastic about it. Bought the skates, new sports attire and the works but promptly lost interest within 6 months. I think it's because I tried and found that I'm not good at it hence why bother?
2) 2 visits to the fitness centre (California Fitness specifically) and I swear never to step into one again. Perspiration and a pounding heartbeat (not related to the hunk in pheripheral view) is so not my thing.
6) I just wanna be happy and contented with my life. I'm happy just having a job that makes enough to supplement husband's income to support the family, and have a loving family. And I'm free to indulge myself occasionally with some shopping, and pick up new interests along the way to while away any extra time I have (when I'm not on the Internet). Sometimes I wonder why is it that I have no ambitions to climb the corporate ladder, unlike my peers. I rationalise that the higher you are, the more work and stress you'll be exposed to so it's not worth it. Afterall there's no free ride in this world, correct?
7) Something light hearted - I'm currently obsessed with Saiyuki, Code Geass & Vampire Knights fan-fiction. I've been reading and re-reading them non-stop, and hunting for new ones. Any good recommendations???
I'm skipping B & C cos my f-lists are quite a close community and most probably are already tagged one way or another. Or because I'm plain lazy. He He He
Psssttt... I'm feeling uncomfortable cos I strained my shoulder, probably cos I'm hunched over my computer for such long periods of time, and it's killing me. 2 visits to the doctor and loads of painkiller later, the bloody twinge is still there and annoying the hell out of me. :P

lust forlove of Sanzo we have in common, but 3. and 4. 3. especially. I cannot make small talk to save my life - well, except for asking the cashier her opinion of the new cash registers, but that was something that occurred to me due to external cues, and I was curious.7. My daughter is into Vampire Knight fanfiction. She ships Zero and Kaname for the lolz and has a favorite multi-chaptered fanfiction from FFN I can ask her the name of if you're interested. She stopped reading Saiyuki when she saw I was getting serious about it (i.e., starting to write smut and relate everything to Saiyuki characters).
no subject
Squee.... Me too. I totally ship Zero X Kaname. LOL. If it's not too much trouble, I would love to check out your daughter's fave.
Thanks in advance.

I realized just now that it sounds like she used to read Saiyuki fanfiction. She's read the manga up through Reload 2. SHe's never read any fanfiction for any fandoms I'm in (Gravitation and Saiyuki); however, she is responsible for my being here, because it was her sole volume of Gravitation that led me to love and obsession (I bought all the other volumes), fanfiction sites, writing fanfction, and eventually to LJ, not to find more fanfction but to join a community for writers of Gravitation fanfiction. I think she's afraid to read anything in any of my fandoms; she might stumble across Mom's

Ha Ha Ha... I suppose this is common with most teenagers. It's against their law to be an open fan of their parents (they do it in the closet) ;)
no subject
Mostly, they're impressed that I read manga at all. Their parents' reaction is similar to my husband's: he doesn't care for manga or anime-style art and can't wrap his brain around the method by which you have to read and follow the panels.
no subject
Anyway I think you're cool. :)
no subject
My daughter got introduced to manga via Magic Knight Rayearth, which someone attending summer camp with her had. That's one of the few manga of hers I haven't read at all; the panels she showed me when she first got it didn't interest me.

I can't vouch for it, as I haven't read it, but my daughter is almost as picky as I am, so it should be good, or at least readable. The introduction is literate, at least. She does admit they may be a bit OOC, but she thinks the pairing itself is OOC. She likes it for the lulz, as she would put it. Enjoy!
no subject
In fact, most of the VK fics I've read are a bit OOC but they're still good.As long as they're not ridiculously OOC (like a total personality change), I'm fine.
Total IC-ness rule only applies to my one true love - Saiyuki. LOL!!
no subject
Personally, I ship Kaname and Ichijo. Ichijo seems the most 'normal' of the Night Class and is Kaname's right hand man, so to speak.
no subject
As for me, I think Kaname and Zero as the perfect pairing cos of their blood bond. I cannot recall if Kaname drank Zero's blood (will have to re-watch the anime again) but Zero definitely fed of Kaname and this is what makes the pairing perfect. He He He
I suppose that's why I prefer the fanfics to the manga. LOL!!!
no subject
When I like some new food I'd like eating it often.
But, at the end, I can also forget about it...XD
I am totally agree with you in point 6!
I think that the secret of happiness is hidden in those lines.
My motto is: " We work for living, don't live for working"!
