Deviation Actions
tagged me, and, since school was cancelled for me today on account of the blizzard-like conditions, I figured I ought to oblige. Rules:
1) You must post the rules.
2) Each person must say 5 things about themselves in their journal. (I'm going to do a bunch instead of tagging people.)
3) Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and create five new questions
for the people you tag to answer.
4) You have to choose 10 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. No tag backs.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about "You're tagged if you're reading this". You legitimately have to tag 10 people (I'm not, and there's nothing you can do about it. I am also not doing this because I suck at asking questions.).
Stuff about myself...
1. I post links to videos in my mood bios in a desperate hope that people will actually follow the links.
2. I spent part of my morning today shoveling, and I got powder snow directly in my ear. It was awful.
3. I think I may be getting better from this sickness, but I'm still in no condition to do a reading today, sad to tell. I wanna get back into the groove I had going, but I guess I just can't at the moment.
4. I hate it when people use "ATM" for "at the moment," because I most readily recognize the acronym as referring to "automated teller machine."
5. I'm going to guess that Robipony's tag journal title was an obscure reference to Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.
6. The aforementioned game was the last game in the series released that I've played, and I didn't even finish the game.
7. My five most favorite books are: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkein, and Watership Down by Richard Adams.
8. I like to say that I play hardcore video games on a casual gamer's time schedule.
9. I can recite The Elements Song and other songs by Tom Lehrer.
10. I love giving feedback on here but always regret not doing so more often.
11. Chrysalislover got me into a metal band called Majesty, and I find their music to be really inspirational sometimes.
12. I got into MLP because I think its fans and fanbase are generally respectable.
13. I am an only child.
14. I positively detest the smell of real flowers for the most part.
15. I would give a part of my soul (if I still have one
) to see the utter annihilation of the website Tumblr.16. I love garlic bread and ginger ale.
17. I bought a case of sarsaparilla from a soda brewery just because I heard about it from MLP: FIM.
18. I almost always put two spaces after colons and periods. I'm oldschool that way.
19. I seriously doubt that anybody other than you is going to survive reading down this list and thus will not see this remark.
20. I have an unhealthy fascination with prime numbers and try to find the prime factorizations large numbers when I'm bored.
21. According to the Bronyland.com personality test, I am most similar to Applejack and most dissimilar to Rainbow Dash.
22. I have a one-pound bar of titanium on the desk beside my computer here. I bought it on impulse, but it makes for a conveniently sized paperweight.
23. I had originally intended just to post ten things about myself before moving on to your questions. I think I'm really vain sometimes, yet I come down hard on myself too often.
24. I myself will consider doing a Q&A session as a sort of milestone thing on my reading account. It might be when I reach a hundred subscribers or some number of videos someday. I'm really afraid that, once I go off to college, I won't have much time for this sort of thing. I really enjoy it.
25. I took Taekwondo lessons for a few years when I was younger. I think I might get back to that once I have a job secured someday.
Questions Asked by the Tagger:
1. Do you like listening to mlp readings? If so what is your favorite genre?
I actually don't really enjoy listening to readings of anything. I also try to avoid others' readings because I don't want to find myself trying to imitate them in any way; I want to be original.
I prefer to read on my own, and I sometimes find myself reading dialogue aloud without even thinking about it, even if it's just a regular book. I do, however, watch readings if I know that somebody is looking for feedback. There's this one video in the group posted recently that I've been meaning to address, and I may get to it today. I have to go for a haircut before I do, though.
2. If you enjoy reading/listening to any grimdark mlp stories, what is your favorite?
I'm not sure I've read enough to declare a favorite. I haven't read that many outside of the ones I've done readings for. The one fiction I mentioned having trouble securing the author's attention for is probably one of the most emotionally jarring things I've read, and it was pretty good, but not necessarily grimdark although it was very dark. I may or may not have mentioned that I've never read nor intend to read Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory.
3. If you could have Robipony do a reading of any dark mlp fanfic what would it be?
Well, considering almost any of the few fictions I've read so far has been ones I was considering doing a reading for and have, for the most part, already been read by me, I can't really offer you any recommendations.
4. Do you like cupcakes?
I assume, since you didn't capitalize the noun, that you are not referring to the legendary grimdark writing I have never read. In which case, I do like the confection; however, it depends on just what kind of cupcake it is. I personally enjoy having lots of frosting on mine because, well, I have a voracious sweet tooth.
5. Do you like Mexican food?
I've not eaten much Mexican food, but, when all else fails, Mexican rice satisfies me very well.
Really, if you (even anybody out there who's reading this) have any specific questions for me, you should free to ask. I may not be good at forming questions or asking them at the appropriate moments, but I'm good at answering.
