scribblinlenore mentioned being stuck indoors for a blizzard and how she thought it would be a great opportunity to spend some time getting to know some of the new people on my flist. Which I whole-heartedly agree.
So...tell me something about you. Favorite character. Favorite food. Something funny you do. Whatever you like. Just make it something that gives me a sense of who you are.
There's no pressure to participate, of course. If you'd rather just lurk, that's fine, too. But if you feel like coming out of the woodwork, I'd love to hear from you!
I think I do this like once a year and since I'm feeling a bit sour, and this exercise always makes me smile, I'll start...
1. I drink like six glasses of water a day,
2. I still read Smallville stories even though I don't watch the show anymore.
3. I love potatoes.
4. I love turtles; I plan to buy one as soon as I can afford the damn terrarium.
5. I think I would rather be blind than deaf since I can't imagine not listening to music.
*bonus for the new folks
6. I dislike cats. A lot. I'm allergic to them, and believe they are actually evil creatures bent on world domination. As I amalso bent on world domination, waiting on ethrosdemon to take it over, you can see why this is a problem. <-- gacked and bastardizard from musesfool
*Please keep in mind that you don't have to participate if you don't want to, and that this isn't about me responding, but you know, about sharing. I know somebody out there must know what that word means.
**ETN: I meant to mention this ages ago, but the LJPTB are reimbursing paid users an additional two weeks of time due to last week's outage or shortage or whatever it's being called. If you pay, use this, and people I've bought account time you better fucking use this for real, I want my money's worth!

I am a vegetarian, unless, of course, it's a cheeseburger.
*snerk* Indeed.
I first learned what plagarism was when I was 7, and basically rewrote a BabySitter's Club novel for an extra credit creative writing assignment. I changed names and locations, and added a new character, but it was basically the exact same plot. I had no idea I had done anything wrong until my teacher pulled me aside and I learned my new word for the day :). It is the first and only time I have ever actually written fanfic.
Yes, I can see how that would put a crimp on a burgeoning writer.

Date: 2005-01-25 03:22 am (UTC)seriously. I mean I was 7, I was like scarred. I didn't write for a long time after that for fear of "stealing a story" again, and I was afraid for like months afterwards that Ann M. Martin and a police force was going to somehow find my story and then bust into my house C.O.P.s-style and throw me in jail. Seriously, who tells a kid that they illegaly stole a story idea and could get in serious trouble for it? Explain the concept, but don't give fire and brimstone. The teacher probably kicked puppies in her spare time...
*drags personal rant out of your journal*
er, so yeah, how about them gay boys?
