Banes of existence: pantyhose, writer’s block, judgmental people

Most common misconception people have about you: that I’m normal or that I’m shy.  Normal is in the eye of the beholder, and I’m only shy around people I’m not familiar with.  Hopefully this site will help me overcome that.

Favorite shows: Fullmetal Alchemist, Escaflowne, NCIS, Bones

Favorite movies: Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa, Sneakers, and Newsies; definitely NOT Eragon

Pets: nope

Pets you’d like: Somali, Maine Coon, or Egyptian Mau (cats); as far as dogs go, a German Shepherd or a Husky

Siblings: two younger brothers; the youngest has Down’s Syndrome.  You make retarded jokes, you get banned.

Movie/book you’d love to step into: probably the Temeraire books.

Person from any time period you’d love to punch on the nose (not including Hitler): Freud, probably, or whoever wrote “Heart and Soul”

What you do when you’re alone at home: sing Reliant K or whatever’s playing at the top of my physical and mental lungs

Guilty obsession: chocolate and fanfics

Ideal Christmas gift: a dragon…. der… other than that, probably a trip to Europe; Neondragon’s newest artbook or a Wacom art tablet

Place you’d love to go: Ireland, then Germany and most of Europe

One word people think of when they hear your name: Dragons, artist, knitter, or genius (sheeyah right), depending on who you ask

One word that always makes you prick up your ears: dragon(s), knitting, or my name

What you get in trouble for during class: sketching, writing, or knitting

Weirdest thing you’ve ever knitted: probably the Naruto intarsia headband for Carly, or Timcanpy

Type of needle: bamboo all the way, and preferably circulars

Favorite pattern: the One-Row scarf (all hail the Harlot!) or the dragonscale pattern, which I want to convert to sweater and sock patterns

LYS: The Wooly Bully, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabrics

Toe-up, ankle-down or flat: toe-up, unless I’m doing picots or a fancy pattern

Favorite yarn(s): Sensations Soles & More or Bamboo and Ewe, Caron Simply Soft

Character(s) you look up to/admire: Riza Hawkeye.  Enough said.  Also Rukia (Bleach), Lara Croft (NOT Angelina Jolie), Lessa (Dragonriders of Pern), Captain Jane Roland (the Temeraire series), Temperence Brannen (Bones), and Ziva David (NCIS).  Are we sensing a theme here?

Best way to spend a rainy day: curled up under blankets with a book, knitting, notebooks, and hot chocolate.

Life without color or without music: without color, because music is one of the things that can touch a person’s soul

One habit you’d like to break: putting way too much perfectionistic pressure on myself… or procrastinating

One thing you want to do that most people laugh at: publish a book

Biggest phobia: drowning or big hairy spiders (think Hangman’s Curse, y’all).  Normal spiders aren’t that bad as long as they’re not crawling on me.

Pirate or ninja: ninja FTW.

Low or high maintenence: low when it comes to other people, but I put a lot of pressure on myself.  Seriously, though, I don’t care whether I’m in street clothes or nice clothes, and the most makeup I wear is lip gloss on Sundays.

Last CD in your CD player: probably Reliant K or the Riverdance soundtrack

Favorite childhood TV show: Wishbone
