Memes and crap

[summer_sparrow]

I have a vid idea. Now I just need... um... clips, and know-how, and the appropriate programs.

Also, I didn't sleep last night. At all. Fun times.

Anyway, meme!

Association Meme: Comment to this post with 'comment!' and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

Mine are from misscam:



Doctor Who
Probably one of my favorite fandoms. Certainly the only one in the top five I've never written and will probably never write fic for. Even Firefly I wrote up some RPG episodes for, but Who... nah. I prefer to enjoy it as it is. I'm not even that fond of Who fic, though there are plenty of exceptions to that rule. :)

Doctor Who (along with Torchwood) is one of the few shows I'm willing to watch over and over and over again, as well. Even the episodes I don't like. Especially if I'm introducing someone to the show; I adore getting people hooked on it.


Staying up late
Appropriate, since I went to bed at 1 am... and then got up at 2... went back to bed at 3... got up at 4. Never actually slept.

I am a night owl. I hate having a day job. My ideal bedtime is somewhere between 1 and 5 in the morning.


Dance
Ah, dance. Love and bane of my life. Three things that make me completely, unadulturatedly happy: rain, cooking, and dancing. I love to move, I love the beat, I lose myself in the music.

On the flip side, dancing is a lot like school for me. I'm just good enough to slide by without really practicing/studying, but I can't seem to make myself actually work, so I sort end up in this frustrated love-to-dance-but-hate-my-dancing space.

NaNo
I'm torn about NaNoWriMo, at this point. I used to think it was awesome, and I still believe it's a good idea. It's definitely not for me, however. I don't write that way. My ideas trickle out in descriptive sentences and random dialogue. I also find the forums to be cliquish and less than helpful.

My break from NaNo was pretty much clinched last year when I tried to explain the reasoning for people thinking it's fine to use previously written stuff as long as you don't add it to your wordcount, and write 50k of new material in November. The responses I got-- to what was a painstakingly civil explanation-- were basically "Neener neener you're a dirty cheater and I've finished NaNo every year since it started so I can say so. Pfffbbbt."

Wasn't too keen on the whole thing, after that. One of my biggest pet peeves is people responding rudely to polite posts or comments (in fact, I ran into that last night on a blog I've been into lately, and stopped reading entirely. I have no time for people who are nasty just for the hell of it.)

Curiosity
Hee, I'm kind of amused by this one. Am I curious? I guess so. Certainly a fair portion of my posts consist of "Somebody explain this to me!"

I am curious, I guess. I get interested in things quite easily, and I'm a natural researcher. I always want to find out more about whatever subject has caught my eye. I'm also flighty, however, and today's obsession is tomorrows vague interest.



So, comment to get associated :D And I'm tossing an addition onto this: if you want to add another association or two to me, I'll respond in the comments.
