My first friends on LJ were people I knew in real life, so it was probably somebody like pixxi or eladrin. Before the fannish squee began, my LJ was primarily a blog that I could use to keep in touch with my old friends once I left for college. I think the first non-real-life friend I added was jeremybrettfan, because her pbp’s made me giggle and I was only just getting into Miami at that point. In fact, I think you may be partly responsible for my current Miami addiction. Be proud of yourself, dear. :) 

 
2. What's something you enjoy eating, but have trouble making?

Probably sushi. But I don’t know if that counts because I always go out for sushi; I’ve never attempted to make it myself. Stir-fry would probably be closer, that or chicken noodle soup. My mommy has to make soup for me since I have never yet got it right (I left the chicken in too long the first time and the thing completely fell apart), but it’s so nice on a cold day, especially with those wheel-shaped noodles in them. Yes, I know the other noodles don’t really taste different, but still. I like it best with that shape.

Not until recently, but since I got my job I’ve been published on the company website and in the newsletter, so that’s a good sign. I may even have an opinion piece published in a newspaper at some point, though that’s far from certain. Oh, and my senior independent project got a Meritorious grade (the highest grade possible), and my teacher’s recommended that I try to publish it, but that hasn’t worked out yet. Haven't found an interested party, and I'm ashamed to say I kind of gave up. But perhaps I can get to work on that again.

Scrabble, because I usually win. :) Vocab nerdity ftw!

 

Seriously, I don’t play board games as often as I’d like to, and nobody but me likes to play Scrabble, so I’ve learned to be satisfied with chess, Trivial Pursuit, or Monopoly (even though we’ve never finished a game). The one we end up actually playing most often is Risk, because my brother loves it, much to my chagrin.

I have a new collection every few years, so…yeah. I'm a pack rat; having collections gives me an excuse to hang on to stuff forever and throw nothing away. As a kid, I collected rocks, seashells, and old coins, and I’ll still keep a coin or a rock if I find an interesting one. After that, I started collecting stamps, but gave up once all the old mail I was saving to remove the stamps started to pile up. Then I took a very brief stab at collecting antique mirrors; this quickly grew too expensive to maintain. Currently, I collect snowglobes, most of which are gifts from other people. I try to get one from wherever I go or where anyone else goes.
