Making the rounds via [personal profile] james :
 
Been to an NFL game? Yes. I saw the GB Packers play at the old Georgia Dome. The game itself was not as enjoyable as I would have liked as it was an away game for my team, but when it was assured that the Packers were going to win all the George fans left and when we left the dome the whole crowd chanted "Go Pack Go" and it was super cool. :D

Been to Canada? Not yet. We've driven up near to the border and waved but we didn't have passports. We now have passports so next time we are in that area we're going to cross. :D

Visited Florida? Oh sure, plenty of times.

Visited Mexico? Nope.

Visited Vegas? I've never been that far west.

Eaten alone at a restaurant? Oh yeah, I bring a book and I'm all good especially when the wait staff understand that that means I'm not lonely.

Have the ability to read music? Nope.

Ridden a motorcycle? Hell no.

Ridden a horse? Once.

Stayed in a hospital? I had jaw surgery when I was 14 and was admitted on Christmas Eve. There was a lovely volunteer organization that brought around presents for kids in the hospital over Christmas and I was really touched that I still counted and I still have the teddy bear they gave me.

Donated blood? Yeah. One of the most memorable times was when I went in with my mum, and we were followed in by three young men wearing military uniforms. One of them was obviously reluctant. I got blood drawn, but they decided that they needed extra vials for tests and took more so when I stood up I nearly fell over before being caught by a nurse. That young man's eyes went wide and terrified, and I in a groggy, drunken slur tried to assure him that it didn't hurt and that I was fine and that they were going to give me juice. I kept trying to reassure him until they carted me off to a quite corner to recover. I'm not sure if he stayed or not.

Been snow skiing? No.

Been to Disney World or Disneyland? Disney World, but only Epcot. It was a lot of fun.

Slept outside? I had to think about this, and no I don't think I ever have.

Driven a stick shift? No, I've never had the opportunity.

Ridden in an 18 wheeler? Yes. Just the one time though.

Driven a boat? Nope, not too fond of boats in general either.

Eaten escargot? I will try a lot of things but this is a hard no.

Been on a cruise? I was maneuvered into agree to a cruise this fall but due to pandemic, I'm rooting for it to be cancelled.

Run out of gas? I have come damn close, but I've never actually run out.

Been on TV? Maybe? I was in a commercial for a local tv station when I was like 9.

Eaten sushi? Yes, but I'm not really a fan.

In that vein, let's try something fun and easy - via [personal profile] dine by way of [personal profile] musesfool, the trope meme:
 
Slow burn or love at first sight
Fake dating or secret dating
Enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers - Both! Both is good.
Oh no there's only one bed or long distance with correspondence
Fantasy au or modern au
Smut or fluff - Depends on the mood.
Mutual pining or domestic bliss - As long as it's resolved.
Alternate universe or future fic
One shot or multi-chapter - This makes no sense, what would it matter how a story is broken up or posted
Kid fic or road trip fic - But only by a little bit.
Reincarnation or character death - I guess.
Arranged marriage or accidental marriage - Oh that is a good one.
High school romance or middle aged romance
Time travel or isolated together
Neighbors or roommates
Sci-fi au or magic au
Bodyswap or genderbend - But not really either.
Angst or crack 
Apocalyptic or mundane

I'm kind of bored at the moment, so I went looking for a question meme to do and post here. I found this one created by midnightvale on Tumblr that I thought would be fun. :D It's all about sensory perception.

S I G H T
 
1. favourite colour(s)? All colors are my favorite, there really aren't colors that I won't like in one context or another. I look nice in purples.
2. least favourite colour(s)? Same as above, though if forced it might be beige but not really because that works in for somethings.
3. do you wear glasses/contacts? Nope.
4. are you colorblind? Most assuredly not. 
5. what are you seeing right now? The inside of the library I work at and the screen of the computer I'm on.
 
S O U N D
 
6. favourite band(s) or artist(s)? Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats
7. top five songs? I really don't have a good answer for this, I'm not big on music and only really ever listen to it in the car. "Favorite" always depends on my mood and level of headache.
8. favourite instrumental track(s)? The soundtrack to the Lord of the Rings films. :) Because I am a nerd.
9. favourite non-musical sound? Wind and rain outside while I'm snug inside.
10. what are you hearing right now? The buzz from the fluorescent lights. :P

 [personal profile] sylvaine posted: Sylvie's No-Romo Trope Sorter

[personal profile] sylvaine  The meme going around with the fic tropes made me a bit sad since it didn't contain a lot of tropes that I love, and luckily the code is open source, so I made my own! ... two versions, because it is hard to choose just 25 tropes out of a long list of them, but sorting anything more than that takes FOREVER.

Trope Sorter Long Version
Trope Sorter Short Version

The short version is complete, barring perhaps a few minor tweaks. The long version is still being updated and I am still taking suggestions for that one. xD Also if there's any errors I would love if you would let me know. I am posting this mostly because I am tired and want to stop working on it already. :P

Because I am a sucker for all these sorters, I tried the non-romantic trope sorter (the short one) that [personal profile] sylvaine has worked up (go you!), and I find myself not really surprised with the outcome. :) That there looks like my wheelhouse.

[personal profile] lazaefair posted: ULTIMATE FANFIC TROPE SHOWDOWN v3.1

 

My ultimate list of fanfic tropes ranked by preference, as determined by the extremely thorough algorithm over at ellimists. It's...yeah...it's extremely and thoroughly accurate.

This was so cool, once I'd finished I had a quibble or two but ultimately I felt like the top ten and the bottom ten were pretty doggone accurate. :D (Faking dating just never gets old. ;))

So, I was looking on [community profile] journalmemes, and the most current one really only worked if you were a writer so I started looking at older suggestions. I found one that was a rate your ship meme, I liked the sound of that so c/p-ed into a new post only to really read it and discover there was very little gradation between the options as they were mostly synonyms of each other. So I've made my own scale. :)

Comment with a ship and I will rate it on the following scale:

Serious NoTP  |  Ugh Really  |  Please No  |  Less Okay  |  No Opinion  |  Okay  |  So Cute  |  Mm Sexy  |  OTP Forever

And then I will explain why.

Meme inspired by [community profile] journalmemes.
isabellerecs: Foxy Heart (heart)
Send me a Trope and I’ll rate it!

No | Rather Not | I Dunno | I Guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK Yes | Oh God You Don’t Even Know

Meme provided by [community profile] journalmemes.

I'm jumping on the meme bandwagon with [personal profile] tangeriner and [personal profile] spikedluv! :D

How old are you? 34
Tattoos? Nope. 
Ever hit a deer? No, but I have accidentally struck birds and that was traumatizing enough.
Ridden in an ambulance? No, thank goodness.
Sang karaoke? Ah, no. I'm not the preforming in front of people kind of person.
Ice skated? Yes, but I was just as bad at that as I was at rollerskating. :P
Ridden a motorcycle? No.
Stayed in hospital? Yes, I had extensive jaw surgery when I was 14 and was in the hospital over Christmas. 
Skipped school? No, certainly not in high school but I'm having a hard time thinking of a time I might have done it in college either. *shrug*
Last phone call? Spouse, letting them know I was coming home after work.
Last text from? Sister.

Favorite season? Fall/Winter which ever can get me cool, clear days (not humid).

Received a ticket? Oh yes, twice and the last time was so bad that I have cleaned up my act (because I couldn't afford not to :P). 
Favorite color? I can never decide, I love color in general. Can I say rainbows.
Sunset or sunrise? Sunset, definitely. Sunrise is far too early to be conscious. ;D
