[firecat]

Ganked from friendslocked post.

Please fill out this survey so I can get to know you better. Old friends, fill it out too! Even if I know you well, I may find out something about you I never knew. Feel free to spread this around so we can all get to know each other. If there is a question you don't want to or don't know how to answer, just tell me something else instead.

1. Name: Stef, firecat


2. Preferred gender pronoun: zie/zir or she/her. I don't feel strongly about it.


3. Birthday: This is a security question, so all I'll say is that I'm actually a Scorpio, but on the Internet, I tend to be a Capricorn.


4. Where do you live and/or time zone: I live about 25 miles south of San Francisco.


5. What are you studying/What are you working as: I make money by doing tech editing, and I'm a dilettante so I study everything that comes across my path, but mostly not in any great depth.


6. What makes you happy/hobbies: See "dilettante" above. I like to collect information, knit, read, spend time with my sweeties and friends, work with rescued animals


7. An interesting fact about you: Gah, I never know what to put for that question. If you know me, what would you say is interesting about me?


8. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment? Unless I'm in the midst of depression I tend to be in love with many things/people. I have relationships with some of the people. I usually have crushes too, but I keep them to myself unless I get a sense that the person wants to know.


9. Favorite place to be: In front of my computer at home, going by how much time I spend there.


10. A word to describe yourself: Gah, I never know what to put for that question. I would put "indescribable," but that sounds so arrogant.

FANDOM

1. Favorite Fandom(s): I'm more of a fan of fandom than a fan of any particular fandom, but some shows/books I particularly like are Babylon 5, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek:TOS, Lord of the Rings, Ghost in the Shell


2. OTP/OT3: I don't really have them, but in B5 I prefer G'kar/Londo and in Sherlock Holmes I prefer Sherlock/John


3. Celebrities you flail over: Alan Rickman, Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto, Judi Dench


4. Favorite music: I have a great fondness for Sweet ("Ballroom Blitz") because they were my original fandom. I like stuff in almost all genres. My iTunes has more classical music, classic rock, and folk than other genres.

PLUS

1. One thing you like about LJ/DW: Being able to read the thoughts of so many interesting people


2. Two things you like about yourself: I try to be open-minded and compassionate.


3. What House in Hogwarts are you in/would you be in? Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw

If you want to celebrate the anniversary of my birth, pick a day and I'll happily accept any tribute.
This is great.

I'm studying sewing
Do you know about http://craftsy.com? They offer online instructional video classes for very reasonable prices. I just bought one of their sewing classes. I'm watching a rank beginner class and I understood for the first time how to deal with the paper pattern inside a sewing package.

Your ability to get along with a particular sweetie of yours. :)
HAHAHAHAHA

Your contrariness is interesting to me. I imagine its being a survival trait for you, and growing into so much more.

I will check out the craftsy link when I have the spoons, thanks.

I'm also amazed at my ability to get along with that person, some days.

Contrariness has taught me to be empathic, to try to see things from somebody else's perspective, among many other things. Question everything, not just authority!
