Ee! Elana is such the cutie!




Taking a break from my school work. I wish i had time to sleep. ::sigh::

So here's my 20.

1. When i'm in a bar, I usually order a screwdriver.

2. I party like crazy a couple of times a year with my dad's friends. I used to party with my mom's friends too, but they all kinda went their own seperate ways.

3. My dad, a black belt in judo and well versed in several forms of Kung Fu, taught me a mishmash of martial arts when i was a kid, so that i could defend myself. I took a little bit of Tae Kwon Do, which was fine for forums and such, but as far as actually fighting someone, i wouldn't recommend it unless your FAST as SHIT.

4. WWE is my soap opera.

5. I figured out recently that while i use the same set of chords for most my songs, so did Johnny Cash. So i don't feel bad about it anymore. Nyah.

6. I don't like eating sushi in the US. I LOVE sushi, but i had it in Guam, which is 3 hours from Japan. They would go out back of the restaurant, fucking catch the fish, and cut it up right there in front of you. The maguro out there actually has a definite taste. Don't get me wrong, i'll still eat sushi, but it makes me sad.

7. Due to a rather traumatic incident when i was a child, i am a claustrophobe. I've come a long way, and i'm told that from the outside i look like i'm fine, but inside, i'm doing my best to not start screaming when i'm in an elevator or crowd. When i was 17, i was diagnosed with diassociative identity disorder with mild schizophrenia. Last year, i formed a rather nasty case of PAD on top of it. i be a craaaazy bitch, but i hide it good, neh?

8. There was a period in my life where i had more phobias than i could count. I couldn't leave my room. Whenever i had a mental breakdown, and i kind of regress back to it.

9. I really like russian chai, vietnamese coffee, and turkish coffee. i mean, i would drink it all the time if i could. But as it stands, i can afford to drink tea.

10. When i was in middle school, my father told me that if i ever did porn.... he wanted half of what they gave me. He created me, after all.

11. I was born with bad knees. I have lateral displacement in my knees, or fondly called "q-joints". Stairs hurt like a bitch, especially the down part.
EDIT: Let me embellish.
Basically what happens is that the muscle outside the quad is supposed to pull your knee cap upward when you flex. Mine naturally pulls to the outside, so when those muscles get tired, my kneecap dislocates. How i wish i could just pop it back in, but tears cartilage and pulls ligaments so it's many months of recovery. I'm technically supposed to be in physical therapy for the rest of my life, but fuck that.

12. I was big on the dc area anime conventions for several years. I worked a table in artists alley every con with my self made studio. When i cosplayed, i was either my Twi'lek (you know, like the dancer that jabba the hutt killed), or Delia, my own lovely creation, a green haired bellydancer typish character. If you went to Katsu or Ota or AUSA (even went to Neko once...), i'm sure you could HEAR me coming with all the bells and whistles i wore.

13. My first concert was Pink Floyd. I was in 8th grade or so. I've been spoiled for life, i swear.

14. I've never bought medieval clothes. I've made it all, so i have quite the medieval wardrobe. This year for halloween, my mother bought me a pirate costume, but that's the first. Seriously.

15. i... can't... STAND the sound of an insect's wings buzzing. I also don't like the sound of most bathroom fans.

16. I SERIOUSLY need cheering up if i just walk up to you and tell you to tell me a joke. And a good one. Like, on the verge of suicide levels of cheering up need to be done.

17. i still to this day do not understand 80 percent of girl logic. My mother isn't very feminine as far as mommies go, so i grew up to be a very logical, less flighty woman. Some of the psychological games that are typical of girls make NO sense to me.

18. I'm a second generation gamer (my parents met playing 1st edition D&D). My first RPG ever was Battletech (if you really want to call it an RPG.... i thought of it more as a very complicated board game...). I was 8 or 9. My favorite RPG has always been Cyberpunk.

19. I have more hobbies than Carter's got little liver pills. They're really impossible to list. And this week i added more.

20. In winter 2004, i formed a truly nasty case of GERD. At first i thought it was an ulcer, but we caught it soon enough. So pardon if i burp and don't excuse myself: i've done it so much, i don't even notice when i do it anymore.

I tag Esther, Foxy, and Selket.

I think i'm doing lunch with Liante today. I think.

i also think i'm going to take an hour nap.
