Listening to: Until Dawn is in my head

FROM GGGGGG


1. First anime I ever saw was Hana no Ko Lun-lun. It was so long ago the only scene I remember was Lun-Lun running over fire, I'm not sure why, and a flower tatoo appearing on the sole of her foot. I think I was four or something. I can't remember the translated name, and I only remembered this because I saw a pic of it in a website and recognized her.

2. I'm horribly picky when it comes to food. I refuse to touch liver. I can't eat pig meat, I always have this feeling I'm eating a bunch of diseases. I do eat ham, though.

3. I love pizza - but not all kinds of pizza. I don't like the ones with meat on them, unless it's ham. The more cheese, the better. I also like champignon pizza.

4. I'm allergic to... something. I have no idea what it is, but sometimes I get these red itchy spots/rashes that slowly spread till I'm completely covered in itchy blots. I used to think it was shrimp (I don't like shrimp, but sometimes restaurants hide shrimp bits in food *wince*), but it happened again this year when I had been at home for a while without any shrimp close-by. First time I had this allergy attack I almost passed out (and I was alone at home! scary).

5. I studied music for two years. It didn't make me knowledgeable in classical music at all, and I couldn't name musicians from a given moment if my life depended on it, but I can at least compose a little thing if I want to. My piano playing still sucks, though.

6. When I was around seven, I started drawing this little comic based on The Magician of Oz, and it sucked like whoa. My characters had no noses, and there was a character that would never wear the same clothing for two pannels. It was drawn on notebook paper, and after a few pages I forgot about it and only took it back when I was 9 or 10. That was when I started adding Saint Seiya and Sailor Moon stuff. Believe it or not, I'm still writing this story. It's changed so much, though, that it really isn't the same story at all.

7. Elanor Pam is the only alias I've ever used anywhere on the internet. It goes back to when we first installed ICQ and I had to think up a screen name. I decided on Elanor because my head was full of Lord of the Rings, but then I decided I wanted a sn with two names and added a Pam to it. The Pam really doesn't come from anywhere, it was just the first name I could think of.

8. I was a real crybaby. Really. My classmates loved to take anything I had in my hands and run off cackling just to see the waterworks. I only started changing around 5th grade. My reputation never left me, though. But then again, I still cry when I get frustrated or happy.

9. I studied at a school in front of my house for most of my life. It sucked. When I changed schools I had so much to catch up to it wasn't even funny. My sister would give physics class to her classmates whenever their teacher was absent, and she was self-taught. All good teachers ended up being fired for demanding raises. (Our favorite teacher is still in touch with my sister. The funniest biology teacher ever.)

10. The only video-game systems I had in my life were a second-hand Atari that was sent to repair and never came back (stolen along with repairer's car) and a Dynavision 4. Ever heard of it? Me neither. It had a cardridge with seven really boring games, and that was it. My father didn't want us playing video-games either way.

11. Most of my teachers, classmates and relatives seem to think of me as inteligent. I'm not sure on that. Yeah, I usually have good grades, but I'm slow on the uptake of... things. I guess I'm just perceptive, but not smart. Or I'm just absent-minded. Am I making sense?

12. When I was a kid, I used to walk up to visitors and strangers on the streets and proudly proclaim that the doctor had said I was hiperactive. It always brought funny reactions from my mother.

13. My parents would never let me or my sister go anywhere by ourselves. My sister, when she got to her rebellious years, simply started tagging along with her friends to places and learned to get around on her own. But since I've always been way too introverted to make friends close enough to invite me somewhere, I ended up just staying at home drawing and writing for most of my teens. That's why I'm not as resourceful as most people my age when it comes to finding out how to get somewhere or where a certain place is located.

14. My mother bitches so much about spending money that I'm never at ease to buy clothes or books I want. I always have a feeling I'm taking advantage of her even when I know that's not the case. I'd rather think I could buy me things when I get a job.

15. My father wanted me to be a lawyer. The thought of standing in front of a bunch of people I don't know and trying to convince them of something I don't believe in is enough to bring me a migraine.

16. In fact, standing in front of my classmates to read a text out loud is enough to bring me a migraine. Oww.

17. I write a lot better than I speak in any given language. Either I just can't think of what to say, or I bite my tongue, or I get carried away and start talking non-stop and tripping over my own teeth.

18. I wave my hands around and move a lot while speaking, unless I'm feeling shy, in which case I'll huddle up in a corner and mumble.

19. I'm horribly clumsy. It doesn't help that 4 out of 5 weekdays I have to take both my binder and my A3-sized folder to university. I always get stuck in the roulette, and when I don't I always fall when the driver starts the bus again.

20. I'm getting better at cooking! The guys at home seem to like my pasta. I still don't enjoy waiting around so it won't burn, though.


I tag.... uh, you. Yes, you!! And You and You, too!! C'mon!!
