kotszok, hopefully capable of keeping me halfway-occupied for a little while. Still nothing in my inbox for me to do. *DED*
Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself.Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included.
1. I have always found pointy ears mysteriously sexy. I had a crush on Spock for the longest time, and I like elves more than is really healthy.
2. I have something of a drinking problem--I tend to miss my mouth. A lot. I've managed to miss my mouth drinking out of a straw, WTF.
3. I hiccup frequently--just like one or two random hiccups out of nowhere.
4. I did not start writing fiction until I was nineteen. I read fanfiction ravenously, but writing it was for creative souls, which I most assuredly was not. Prior to that, my main writing experience was lengthy essays for school.
5. I got seriously into anime thanks to the first ever meeting of my college's anime club, and I went mostly because I liked the way the art on the flyer looked. Incidentally, the person who drew said flyer wasmettathron. From the beginning, I wasn't a big fan of shojo series--my first major love was Bakuretsu Hunters, better known as "Bondage, Boobies, and Bishonen." XD
6. I grew up without air conditioning, cable, central heating, or paved roads. My next door neighbors were a farm and a hundred-acre tree lot, respectively. Somehow, I am mysteriously not a redneck.

Date: 2006-09-18 01:43 pm (UTC)I've never had air-conditioning in my life, even when I lived in the south of Canaad (EVERYONE in our complex had a/c), we never had cable either (actually our TV was a garbage TV... near the end of it's lifespan, it had to be placed on its side to work... you watched it lying on the floor)... though NO HEATING? DAMN SON. ♥ YOU MUST BE ONE HOT LASS.

Date: 2006-09-18 02:02 pm (UTC)A woodstove. Burning actual wood that my ass had to drag all over hell and tarnation all damn summer long so we'd be warm in the winter. Temperatures got down to fifty degrees F in the house after we'd banked the fire for the night, so I used to sleep under four blankets in the winter. OMG I'M SUCH A HICK.

I think my road was more or less paved. At least, there was gravel, and the cement was more or less intact.

Date: 2006-09-18 05:24 pm (UTC)We managed to get quite a few public broadcast channels because the family farm was on top of some bluffs an hour's drive away from two different major cities, so we got doubles of some like NBC. Our TV was one of those huge things that was a screen in a wooden box.
Directions to family farm tended to include "and that's where the paved road ends" - and it ended a good ten to fifteen minutes from the place, too, depending on which way you were coming. My sister's husband once asked why she was having trouble with a "dirt" road they were on and she replied, "This isn't dirt. It's gravel. And the difference is, when it rains, dirt's not dirt anymore. It's mud."
We did have a heater, but we always kept it pretty low and wandered around the house wrapped in at least one blanket and slept under several more.
And if the power went out, we'd lose water too because the water pump doesn't work without electricity.

Our road was tar and chip--one lane, with gravel pulloffs every few hundred feet. It melted in the summer to the point that you could pick the road up by the fistful and stick it to things. My sister and I used to have tarfights. XD

Date: 2006-09-19 04:31 pm (UTC)We used to climb on the machinery (some of it's antique) and we tried to make a treehouse, which was basically just a few pieces of wood nailed to a tree. The only really normal things we did, from an urban pov, was watch TV on occasion and fly kites in the pasture where there were no trees to catch them on.
Mom and Dad never grounded us because there wasn't anywhere for us to go anyway. Got sent to our rooms every so often and extra chores, but that was about it.
