20 Things I Love

 

This comes from Stephannie Beman’s blog.

These are not in any particular order.

  1. Friends & Family. I’m not going to list each one or this will become a “20 People I Love” list instead.
  2. My pets. Even the ones that were only supposed to be “visiting” and have never gone home.
  3. Anime. It’s not just the complex plots, but also the clean art style.
  4. Animation. It’s the last “goal” that I haven’t accomplished, ironic since it was my first.
  5. Music. Must. Have. It.
  6. Clucky. My Superpoke Pet. the game is ending in march, but Slide made it possible to download our pets and items and Neil is working on a program so that we can continue to decorate habitats. Yay!
  7. Rainy days. Everything is better under a little cloud cover.
  8. Penguins. I’ve always wanted one.
  9. Vampires. That was a no brainer.
  10. Middle Earth. In all it’s forms: books, movies, cartoons, you name it. I was one of those ladies who loved Legolas long before Orlando Bloom played him.
  11. Romance. Yeah, I can admit it.  I am a sucker and there’s nothing like a good ship. Sadly, I always support the wrong ones 😦
  12. Halloween. Crows, cobwebs, spoooooky-ness… All around great holiday.
  13. Christmas. Twinkle lights, peppermint and glitter. What’s not to like?
  14. Booy. This is my teddy bear. I’m not embarrassed to admit he is my prized possession.
  15. Costume Jewelry. The shinier the better. Especially huge rings. Screw diamonds, they’re not half as cool as the fake stuff.
  16. Flowers. They look pretty. They smell pretty.
  17. Titanic. I think it’s a past life thing.
  18. Japan. Someday I may sell everything I own to go there.
  19. History. If I hadn’t been born with “god given” talents I’d have gone into archeology instead or…
  20. Psychology. The human mind is a fascinating place.

What 20 things do you love?

48 Questions

I got this from Ange’s blog 🙂 Being a lover of all things blog tag, I had to repost!

1. What time did you get up this morning? Bizarely I was up at 9am. That’s because I spent Thursday sleeping coz I was sick. Normally it;s more like 4pm. 😉

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? I don’t remember. It was something in October.
4. What is your favorite TV show? I avoid TV because I get addicted too easily 😉 Though we’re watching anime on Netflix right now. I’m in the middle of AH, My Goddess with the bro and Full Metal Panic (again) with the hubby. Just finished Darker than Black, which I have to rewatch because it was awesome.  We do watch NCIS every week. Oh, and Myth Busters. And I’m waiting for the new Dr. Who season. And I hope they do something with Torchwood because Captain Jack rocks. We were watching Camelot and Merlin and Thundercats, but those have kind of fallen by the wayside for some reason – I think hubby lost interest in them… I’ll stop here.
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? I’m perfectly happy here, buuuuuut somewhere east coast with an ocean would be awesome (Maine was always my goal).
6. What did you have for breakfast? Microwave smart ones spaghetti.

7. What is your favorite food? Pot stickers and chicken friend rice.

8. Foods you dislike? Peas (I call them hateful peas), broccoli, cauliflower – okay a lot of the vegetable kingdom – naked shrimp, raw meat, sushi (see the raw meat thing), oysters, potato salad, ham salad, pasts salad, white sauce… Yeah, I have a list :p
9. Favorite place to eat? Depends on my mood. Right now it’s Hy-Vee’s Chinese counter.

12. What are your favorite clothes? Clothes I actually wear or wish I could wear? Coz I wish I had the body/nerve to wear all those very awesome gothy/corset/dress things. As for what i actually wear, I’m waiting for the bell bottoms to come back because I have a pretty cool pair with lacing up the sides…

13. Where would you visit if you had the chance? Tokyo, Japan without a DOUBT. <— ditto!!!
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? Yay! I have a cup! 😀
