For the first date, I think it would depend on who did the asking. If I asked a guy out, I'd pay for the meal or whatever, but if he asked me, then I'd assume he was going to pay. I'd still offer to pay my share, and that's usually what I insist upon, because I think it sets up a bad precedent...

Apparently ducks can fly. I refuse to believe this. Duck Hunt is a lie.

Well, if you're going to give 'shapeshifter' as an option, then I guess I have no choice but to say, yeah, sure. I mean, if that wasn't a choice then I'd just stick with being a human. It's quite nice being a human. Books and computers are made for humans. And if I was, say, an albatross, it'd...

1) I usually play one game at a time, unless it's a game like Skyrim, where I know I'll dump several hundred hours in. I mean, I'm not going to play nothing but Skyrim for that many hours. But if it's a game that I know I can knock out in around 10 hours, then I'll probably play just that game...

I reply as soon as I see it, usually. I mean, if I'm online, then why not? I know a lot of people who expect instant responses, actually, but I figure that there's no point in trying to make people think I'm not just a geek with no life. :D

I was a bit concerned about Skyrim, but I reasoned that there'd be few things that the modding community couldn't eventually fix. And I'm also afraid that ME3 might let me down, but I'd play it anyway. Besides, I'm almost expecting it at this point. That way, I won't be too disappointed if it's...

To graduate. Without messing up. To save up enough to move out when I graduate. (Unlikely.) To read more. (Already started - read four books and it's only January 5.) To clean my room. (Improbable.) I aim too high. My room is pretty much irreparably messy.

I'm not so much afraid of death as I am afraid of dying. The idea of not existing is okay with me. I just don't like the idea of having to think 'oh dear, I'm dying.' I'd rather just go from one state to another without being aware of it. Alan Watts put it pretty eloquently:

Still underage, so I'm going out with a couple of friends for a picnic in the city, and then we'll watch the fireworks. Those who are over 18 in my group are going off to karaoke at 1 AM, apparently, but I'll probably crash at my boyfriend's and watch anime with him for the entirety of New...

A better graphics card, Gray Matter, everything in my cart on GOG.com, and a couple of Anais Nin books. I get a fair bit of money for Christmas (rather than gifts...because everyone fails at buying me presents) so I usually just indulge in buying a lot of stuff that I wouldn't usually buy.

Been awake for a little under three days or so. And because of the medication I was on last year, I've slept up to 18 hours. And then spent the remaining six hours of the day feeling like a zombie. Thanks, Seroquel. If I oversleep, I tend to feel exhausted and groggy, whereas if I don't get...

April Ryan from the Longest Journey. She's witty and, you know, not pathetic, which is pretty admirable in a female videogame character. Also, if it counts, I love my FemShep. She's such a badass.

I play piano, and my hands are pretty small - I can only reach an octave and one, and it's pretty hard for me to play pieces at higher levels (which is why I only got up to Grade 6 and then quit) but I'm sure that if you tried it out, you could find some pieces that don't require you to stretch...

I fall asleep on my side and wake up lying on my back. Can't sleep on my stomach at all - it's physically very uncomfortable for me, for some reason.

I never delete or block anyone on Facebook - I'd rather just have them there in case I do need to contact them at some point. Instead, I have several lists with various restrictions, and everyone goes into a friendship list. That way, I can, to an extent, control what each person sees. I've also...
