Stolen from a number of peoples

SPN: keep calm
I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer*.


*Providing it's answerable/suitable for public posting.

do it do it do it you know you wanna all the cool kids are

hrm.. Let's see.

I'm pretty sure we met in the chatzy room for hd_writers.

I write H/D fan fiction. I'm a mom. I'm almost 35. I love to make faces and puns. I adore meeting new fandom people and hooking up for real life meet ups.

Are you currently in school? or have you ever been at one point or other in your life. *higher learning* I should say. What is your focus? If not.. What's your OTP?

Hi! We actually met at a McMenamin's writing group, I wanna say last month? It was scary (THE STREAMS ARE COLLIDING) but so fun!

I am not currently in school, and I never did graduate with any degree. If I could, for funs, I'd love to take some sociology of pop culture classes tbqh.

I'm a multishipper, and at the moment my character of focus in Dean Winchester (SPN), so Dean/anyone-who-fits-the-story-I-want is my OTP. :D

Ah yes! That's right! I hope to see you whenever we all meet up again.

I also never graduated with a degree. I started and stopped college three times, but if I could go back again, I'd go for creative writing. Maybe someday.

Love Dean! Dean/Cas was always my SPN ship, well... that and Gabe/Sam, but I've been out of the SPN fandom for a few years now.

I hope so too! Saladbats is good at reminding me. :)

I am really slow at getting into shows; I just started watching S1 of SPN back in March of last year, so it's still a shiny new fandom to me. Crazy!

About April
Hi! I'm April. I'm 21. I have been on LJ since I was 16. I write a lot. I have recently delved into the world of playwrighting and that's where I am seeing most of my success. My play, Life as an Oreo, has been nationally recognized. It's a semi-finalist to be workshopped at the Kennedy Center (one more round to pass and I will be attending in April). I have gone through 2 rounds of board of directors to get to the spot. So it's great knowing that I used to suck at writing and know that I'm actually good at it.

I am a senior and I study Theatre. 4 more months until I get my degree :)

I used to write fanfic, but not anymore. I'm thinking about deleting my old fanfiction from here and ff.net since I'm trying to go professional. I don't need any slash fanfic traced back to me. lol!

Re: About April
OH MY GOODNESS that is so cool about your play!! AND your degree! Congratulations!

I'm sad about the fanfic deletion, but you gotta do....if I ever publish, it'll probably be mm romance, so I won't mind the slashfic at all.

When you were young, what did you want to do with your life. Where did you see yourself at 30? 40? Beyond?

I think about this question from time to time and I honestly don't remember what I wanted to do/be. I think I mostly just wanted to survive? I wish I had a diary or something from then, because it would help a lot. I'm surprisingly happy with how things are now that I'm over 40; although I wish I had done some things differently I think regret is a killer emotion so I just keep doing my best!

About Sarah
I'm Sarah, and we've spoken before.

You may not know I'm blonde and have green eyes. Or that I'm not even five feet tall. Yes I'm that short. My middle name is Victoria, I think it's a pretty name, but does not flow particularly well with Sarah.

Question for you: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Re: About Sarah
LOL BB! I did, in fact, know that you were blonde and under 5'! I didn't know your middle name, though. It's lovely!

Same as I told Quichey; I remember SO little from my childhood it's kind of scary. I wish I could remember!!

This is an awesome idea!

Something about me: I have five tattoos and want a lot more.

Question for you: Have any ink? If not, do you want any? :)

YAY INK!

What are yours???

I have my first, a little flash butterfly on my shoulder, of course. Heh. After that, a self-designed piece that wraps over my shoulder from front to back, all flowers. Then, a line from my favorite poem around my ankle, with vines (grateful, take the good I find, the best of now and here.).

Coming soon: it's enough, from Firefly, on my forearm; a beehive on my calf; FATE>FEAR (a tattoable breakdown of the line "never let your fear decide your fate."

Well hi! I'm left handed, I play the piano, I get up late most mornings and cereal and money are actually some of my favourite things. What kind of music do you like?

HI!

I have a piano I've still not learned to play, but I will some day!

My body clock runs best with 8 hours of sleep between midnight and 8 am, so that's kind of late.

I am really eclectic with my musical tastes! My random playlist has everything from old country & western to showtunes to dance pop to religious hymns; the only thing I don't really enjoy is free-form jazz (sorry, Miles Davis fans).

I never really know what to say about myself, but here goes.

My degree is in zoology but I don't do a thing with animals. I actually work in clinical research. I hate mornings and it usually takes me a good hour before I even ready to speak to anybody. I'm somewhat allergic to caffeine which doesn't help matters.

What are your three favorite things to do? :)

Jan. 31st, 2013 08:39 am (UTC)
Ooooh I can't imagine being allergic to caffeine. I love coffee way too much.

What kinds of research do you? I'm always interested in Sciences!

I don't know if I can pick just three! Or even put them in any sort of order! So here's a random as hell list of things I enjoy:

having a glass or wine or a beer in the hot tub with friends
making the boychild giggle, teaching him to love things
reading (lbr it's mostly fanfic but still, reading!)
laughing at bad science movies
traveling
flirting
cleaning (really and truly)
cooking

I work in the GI and liver department, so various kinds of research but most of our studies are on Hep C. We many work with pharma companies on that, trying to find a cure for it.

I'm somewhat of cleaning freak myself, lol. I'm just not a fan of dust or clutter. I like things to have a home, plus I kinda find cleaning to be relaxing :)
