Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

I'm pretty sure I've done this meme before, though it's been a while. I'll try to list some things I haven't listed before.

1. I am a nap whore. Given the opportunity to sleep in, go back to bed, or steal a nap, I will totally TAKE IT.


2. I could very happily watch a lot of football on TV in a weekend, shouting awful things at the screen and drinking beer. I might not want to do it every weekend for very long, but it's sure fun while it lasts. I'm more comfortable with this aspect of myself these days than ever before.


3. I have a very strong preference for baths over showers.


4. I often wonder whether it'll be more dangerous to send Kira Deara into Hot Topic on her own, or with diermuid.


5. I hate folding laundry. Especially whites.


6. Very few things brighten up my week like a coffee date with fionnabhar.


7. I'm still feeling bruised by my layoff, almost a year after it happened. How stupid is that?


8. Only mildly related: I hope I can keep developing Everybody's Alice as a viable venture, because it's lighting up areas of my mind and soul that have been dormant for a long time and I could really stand to have some things go right.


9. I really enjoy cooking and baking more than I ever thought I would.

Day Three: Eight Ways to Win My Heart

I think I'll talk about this in terms of general adoration and schmoobliness, not just romantic love.

1. Let me sleep in once in a while. (This carries over from Day Two, wherein sleep=LOVE.)


2. Bring me flowers. I love having fresh flowers.


3. Buy me dirt. You know, so I can grow my own flowers too. Mulch is nice, too. SRLSY. I'm a Cancer.


4. Be good to my children.


5. Don't frighten me for fun. I hate it. A LOT.


6. Scritch my back -- you know, those light, sort of tickly touches on my skin. BLISS.


7. Stay in touch, even if it's just a little bit. I get overwhelmed by a lot of social events, and can't really get out very often, but the notes and emails -- even just IM or whatever -- is tremendously meaningful, especially these days.


8. Watch movies with me. Even better: Take me out to the movies. The companionship, shared experience, and physical proximity are important to me. Plus, I hardly ever get to watch movies anywhere other than my own home these days.
