Date: 2016-01-11 02:56 am (UTC)LJ age: How long have you been on LJ? Four years in this current reincarnation, much longer than I care to think about, otherwise.
What is your Creativity Goal this year: To muck the 4 WIPs from the woodshed of my skull
What is your goal this year beyond that: To muck out 20 years of accumulated cr** in the shoebox I continue to euphemistically call a house.
Where in the world are you: the great country known as Texas.
Current Fandom(s): My muse does not allow me choice in these matters, though I keep meandering through Avengers, Hawaii 5-0, and more RPF than I care to think about.
Earlier/old Fandom(s): I started out in the Duran Duran bandom. Yes, I know. Let's move along, shall we?
Do you Original fic? I have often been accused of writing original fic masquerading as fanfic. Does that count?
Favorite comm(s): Of couse not! You are my one true love.
Gen, Het, or Slash: Again, I am not allowed free choice in these matters.
Languages you write in: Grammaticially correct Texan. (And yes, my beta is Australian)
Favourite 'go to' movie(s) and why: Star Trek Reboot, Bad Boys, the Killers, Evita, and Jesus Christ Superstar. All I want is for Michael Bay to make a musical--is that really too much to ask?
Favourite movie/TV show genre(s): Bullets, explosions, badly written exposition, and general mayhem and/or car chases.
What inspires you? Strange and inexplicable things, apparently.
What type of creative project(s) do you find you can do easily: Its not so much creativity, as a general lack of the ability to tell my muse 'no'
What type of creative project(s) would you like to get better at: Telling my muse 'no'?
Coffee, Pepsi, tea, Coke, water, juice, vodka: Coffee, Mountain Dew, Iced Coffee, Orange Juice with Mountain Dew, more Coffee.
Tell us about your Pet(s): One neurotic husky, 1 higher life form cat, 1 lower life form cat, 1 transpecies (he maybe a cat or dog, he is undecided) and one currently hibernating tortoise.
Do your friends/family encourage you to create? I have found it is best to keep my muse far, far away from friends and family - it tends to do things like hump legs at wildly inappropriate moments.
Name a song that always makes you cry like a baby: Emo Civil War songs, and apparently Hamilton. Damn you, Lin-Manuel.
How's your memory: Like a goldfish, an elephant or somewhere in between? My memory definitely functions very much like a scansoriopterygid.
Walk, jog, bicycle, car: How lazy are you? I am one of those weird individuals who walks to work.
I don't think that word means what you think it means: apparently the English language has significantly less prepositions than Texan, a fact which my beta is constantly pointing out.
And lastly, anything else you want to say, or finish with a gif that sums you up: To quote the Shoveler, 'We have date with destiny, and she has ordered the lobster.'

re: cats - A friend was telling me that she watched a docu about cats and dogs and found out that dogs can tell that humans are not the same species, but that cats think we are just big stupid cats, and that they verbalize to us the same way they do to kittens (small stupid cats). They think dogs are big stupid cats too. They could be right.

Date: 2016-01-11 04:00 pm (UTC)Ormolu has advised us she is refusing to acknowledge Puppykat could be a cat on sheer principle. As for Miss Boo, she may claim to be a cat, but she is clearly some lesser life form. We have also been put on notice that Ormolu can and will have the locks changed if we even think about bringing more beasts into the house. Since Ormolu is smarter than 97% of the humans we know, this is a very real threat.
