if that's what you're into

[sabinetzin]

Leave a comment and I'll ask you five (somewhat random) questions. You can answer in the comment or in a post you link to in the comments. If you feel like it, post the meme in your journal so people can ask you for questions.

Here are some questions what telesilla done give me!

1. What's your favorite kink to write about?

IDK, man. That's a tricky question, because the kinks I like and the kinks I like to write sometimes don't overlap. Like, obvs I am all about the 3+ way sexing, but it's super awkward to write sometimes, because everybody has so many limbs.

And then there's a difference between what's easy to write and what's satisfying to write. Like, once you get past the original oh-god-did-I-just-type-that embarrassment of writing dirty talk, it's super easy. But pulling off a really evocative description of subspace is super satisfying.

IDK. And I was looking through my stuff going, oh, I've been a writing a lot of- oh, I guess I've only been writing a little bit of that, but surely a lot of it must be-

So. Who knows. Consent issues, probably, because it kind of hits all those categories.


2. You have $5000 to spend on strictly frivolous stuff. What do you buy?

Oh god. I'd clean out the MAC store. And, uh, what else would I want? That's the main thing. Everything else I want is important, imho (new laptop, etc), which mostly just shows that my priorities are skewed.

Though I would send off to New Orleans to get REAL king cakes. Om nom nom nom nom.

OH RIGHT. And I'd buy absolutely everything that Pin-Up Girl Clothing sells that I think I could cram myself into.


3. What three things do you absolutely HAVE to have in your kitchen?

1. Supplies for making spaghetti, which clearly counts as one item. Because I'd just starve to death otherwise.

2. Peanut butter. Because I'm one of those cretins who will just wander by and eat a whole spoonful for no reason.

3. Darth Vader's head. That's where I keep all my cooking utensils.

You think I'm kidding.


4. What's the nerdist/geekist thing you've done?

Oh god, who even knows. Everything has just gotten so ridic at this point. I get geekier by the day. Recently I made pretty much the geekiest sewing project I've ever made, but I can't say what it is yet, as it hasn't reached its recipient yet. :/

Discussion of this question led to this story, though, which is a contender:

(2:50:52 AM) sabinelagrande: there are so many choices. I considered "cried in front of Darwyn Cooke"
(2:51:00 AM) dizmo: .... Context.
(2:51:11 AM) sabinelagrande: have you never heard this story?
(2:51:18 AM) dizmo: No!
(2:51:38 AM) sabinelagrande: so. first time I ever went to SDCC
(2:52:01 AM) sabinelagrande: walked out onto the floor for the first time
(2:52:13 AM) sabinelagrande: and I don't think I need to explain to you the magnitude of that moment
(2:52:21 AM) dizmo: Not in the least.
(2:52:37 AM) dizmo: That jaw-dropping oh-my-god-look-where-I-am moment.
(2:52:40 AM) sabinelagrande: yes.
(2:53:11 AM) sabinelagrande: just that sheer Stendhal syndrome moment.
(2:53:49 AM) sabinelagrande: (ps still trying to figure out a way for Charles to be taken down by Stendhal syndrome in a fic)
(2:53:56 AM) sabinelagrande: (I mean, that's what I would use.)
(2:54:06 AM) dizmo: Brilliant.
(2:54:26 AM) sabinelagrande: so I made for the DC booth, as is my wont, as that was my happy place at the time
(2:54:34 AM) dizmo: Mmhm.
(2:54:44 AM) dizmo: First thing I did too. XD
(2:54:49 AM) sabinelagrande: right there, signing, no line, is Darwyn fucking Cooke.
(2:55:00 AM) dizmo: ........... NO LINE?
(2:55:03 AM) sabinelagrande: NO LINE
(2:55:07 AM) dizmo: HOW?
(2:55:09 AM) sabinelagrande: I AM STILL NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED
(2:55:16 AM) sabinelagrande: LIKE, I HAVE REPLAYED THIS MEMORY MANY TIMES
(2:55:30 AM) sabinelagrande: I AM LEGITIMATELY CONFUSED AS TO HOW IT HAPPENED
(2:55:35 AM) dizmo: XD
(2:55:52 AM) sabinelagrande: but either way, it happened.
(2:56:27 AM) sabinelagrande: and I totally teared up, because it's Darwyn fucking Cooke and I was telling him how the end of New Frontier was the first comic that ever really made me cry
(2:56:40 AM) dizmo: Awwwwwwwwww.
(2:56:57 AM) sabinelagrande: so in my notebook where he signed, he drew a little stick man, and it says "aww, don't cry"
(2:57:03 AM) dizmo: asdfasdfkjasdf
(2:57:25 AM) dizmo: That is an amazing story of amazing.
(2:57:35 AM) sabinelagrande: it was truly amazing.
(2:58:30 AM) sabinelagrande: so that's my specialest nerd moment, I'm pretty sure.


5. Say you're a superhero--what's your secret superpower?

I always feel like I should say some kind of mind power, right? Because, like, I'm a genius (I have a paper from the state and everything, and that and a buck'll get me a cup of coffee), and I always play a wizard, w/e.

So I'm getting to the point where that's starting to sound boring, right? But I don't really want flight, speed, super strength, Hulkery, etc.

But then my 3AM googling led me to what may be the amazing page on Wikipedia, and I decided I'd be predictable and say the ability to speak any language immediately. God, I could get so much done.

But talk to me again after my PhD is done and I don't have to do language proficiency any more.


Also, have this additional meme, which has been my bane, because apparently my username contains the WRONG FUCKING LETTERS. So now I torture you with it.

I'm running a test to see who's reading my posts. So, if you read this, leave me a one-word comment about your day that starts with the third letter of your LJ/DW USERNAME. Only one word please. Then repost so I can leave a word for you. Don't just post a word and not copy - that's no fun! ;D

... Zany.

[telesilla]

so in my notebook where he signed, he drew a little stick man, and it says "aww, don't cry"

That's so sweet!

Questions, pliz?

today in one word: laughable

[sabinetzin]

1. What's your greatest fannish triumph?

2. If two trains leave Cleveland going opposite directions, what's your favorite color?

3. What's the most delicious meal you've ever eaten?

4. Out of the realm of all great characters from all the various forms of media, which two would you like to see in a cage match? We would also accept four in teams of two.

5. What's your most prized possession?

(6. When are you coming back to Dragon*Con? :D :D)

[chagrined]

That #4 answer is the best.

And, oh wait. I just realized since I'm answering on DW my 3rd letter is different from when I previously did this on LJ. Uhhhhh.

Alarming.

[schmerica]

My day: hazy.

[calime]

3. Darth Vader's head. That's where I keep all my cooking utensils. If I already did not think you're awesome, that would've done it:)!

...a one-word comment about your day that starts with the third letter of your LJ/DW USERNAME.. ...lazy. ('cause there's no call for squandering energy when it's -22C outside and +17 inside after the fire in the oven and electric heater on - there was something like -30C at night, apparently, and because I am well-versed in procrastination and it's not as if I have something I need to be doing, like, oh, writing that draft of that article I promised to my supervisor...and also I'm constitutionally unable to answer with only one word, but as the rest was in parentheses, it doesn't really count, does it?)

[calliopes_pen]

Liquid.


(Because of the rain.)

[chkc]

Keeping kitchen utensils in Darth Vader's head = !!! Cool!

Adjective of my day: ...klutzy.

[clavally]

I'll take some questions!

Word: Accomplished

As someone in New Orleans, I heartily approve of ordering a King Cake from New Orleans. I'd go for Haydel's. Sadly, it's fairly pricey.... (http://www.haydelbakery.com/kingcakes/kingcakes_main.asp).

And awash (as in with light - the boards covering my office windows came down today)
