tug-a-tag-tag
So Sam tagged me. And since there has been some inactivity in my blog these days (the reason for which will be in another entry), I do find this a fun reason to write a post. So here we go...
10 Random (sometimes weird and scary) facts about me:
1. I am a H-U-G-E fan of Lord of the Rings, and therefore, Tolkien. So huge that I even attempted to learn Elvish language (there are two: Sindarin and Quenya). In fact, the greeting you will see on my multiply home page (Vedui' il'er) is the Elvish for "Welcome, my friends!". My multiply address, among others, is "luthien tinuviel", the great ancestor of Arwen Undumiel. I reenact some scenes, too (yes, even some sword-weilding scenes) from the movies. There was also a point when I got really hooked on the LOTR Yahoo chatroom, even role-played there, and met online friends, some of whom I still talk to today. And if given the resources, I would definitely purchase LOTR items to my heart's content.
2. As perhaps apparent in item # 1, I can consider myself a geek. Summer break in elementary and high school were spent reading books that would prepare me for the next level. Say I'm an incoming sophomore--I would read sophomore books and find them delightful, somehow. *gulp* Also, I was best in Science and Math when I was in elementary. I dunno what happened in between then and now.
3. I used to have a big crush on...uh...Sylvester Stallone--back when he was still capable of being a Rocky. I think I was in Grade 2 or 3 then. Yes, I did have a poster even. Ahaha!
4. I lack the drive to pursue my poetic dreams. Francis can attest to this. I have more than a dozen poems ready for copyright application, but I never got around to doing it. For more than 5 years now. So I'm giving myself a deadline: I need to have my works copyrighted before I become Mrs. Funa. I hope, too, that at least one of my poems gets published before this self-imposed deadline.
5. Warning: this may sound scary and I will understand if, for a period of time my friends who get to read this avoid me, until proven otherwise...I am drawn to weird criminal cases. For instance, I find myself so engaged in reading about Charles Manson-like cases, or those about kids killing other kids. You know, the serial killer types. Maybe that's why I have a secret crush on Dexter Morgan (played by Michael Hall in the TV series Dexter). Believe me, I am a safe person to be with. I am not one to slash your neck and watch you die from loss of blood.
6. I am semi-arachnophobic. When I was a kid, I was taking a bath and when I opened my eyes, I saw this big spider swimming in my pail of water. That did it for me.
7. I am also afraid of rambutan. Yes, the fruit. I imagine them to be these red sea urchins that would just attack you to death with their spiky skin. If anyone plans to give me this fruit, please make sure they're peeled. Though sadly, I still don't eat them, but thanks for the effort.
8. I like my mornings quiet. I get irritated when I bump into someone on my way to work because then, I am forced to strike an early morning conversation when I could be catching some more sleep during my commute.
9. I seriously want to pursue travel writing and photography. I see myself quitting my day job for these.
10. I get attracted to gay men--90% of the time. I wouldn't know they're gay in the first place until someone tells me they are. So if I get a crush on this particular bloke, there's a 90% probability that he's not straight. But Francis is not gay. He's the exception to the rule. Let's be clear on that. Haha!
Tagging: Zig, Pat, Archie, Mch, Meikah, Cos, Gibet, Ninah, Ate Janice, Jay.
The Rules:
II. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
III. At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
IV. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
