10 for 10 for 10 Tag Rules: Answer 10 questions, come up with 10 more and tag 10 people.

Thanks to the amazing @atimefordragons for the tag!  Hope you’re going well! 1.  What’s a fandom/interest you had that you now regret/are embarrassed by? Hmm…I guess regret/embarrassment is not quite the way to put it, but I don’t know what to do with my Smallville feelings now.  Everything that happened with that one actress has made me feel very weird about the show. 2.  If you could relocate anywhere on earth, would stay where you are or move elsewhere (and where would that place be)? I would move, yeah.  I don’t know of a specific place, but I guess I would like a tropical-ish area that is not too populated. 3.  Favourite Jonas Brother? Based off the old show…. Joe.  Obviously. 4.  BatFam or SuperFam? I am admittedly not familiar enough with either to choose. 5.  W.I.T.C.H. or Winx Club? I watched both, but I was much more into W.I.T.C.H. + read as many of the books as I could get my hands on.  Winx Club was more my sister’s thing. 6.  Favourite ice cream flavour? Coffee!  And peanut butter!  Also passionfruit and mango.  I like ice cream. 7.  Classic Fries or Poutine? Classic fries I’m afraid. 8.  Would you rather be fluent in French or Italian? French because Italian just reminds me of primary school, and though French reminds me of high school, it’s slightly not as painful. 9.  Favourite Chris? This was probably not an intended option.. but Chris Traeger (new episode on Thursday!?!?!?! !!) 10.  Dragons or Unicorns? Dragons for sure. I was also tagged by the incredible @ayzrules - thank you! 1.  Favorite movie adaptation of a book?   So I haven’t read Stardust yet but it is my favourite movie, so it stands to reason that it would also be my favourite adaptation. 2.  Favorite TV show? Parks and Recreation!!! (again…NEW EPISODE THURSDAY!!!!) 3.  Favorite flower? Lavender! 4.  Current mood in a song: I am feeling a bit nostalgic right now, so I will go with Superman by Goldfinger 5.  Favorite OC you’ve created? Idk.. I think I have let them all go for too long to choose. 6.  TikTok or Vine?   I haven’t watched enough TikTok to choose it, so.. Vine. 7.  One (1) current obsession of yours:   Australian Survivor.  The recent season ended and now I’ve gone to catch-up TV to watch the first seasons that I missed. 8.  Your opinion on crocs?   Not for me, but if you want to wear them, I’m not going to judge you lol. 9.  Dream vacation? Somewhere warm but not too hot.  Also not too many people. 10.  Smoothies or milkshakes?   Milkshakes! And as usual, I am not following the rules because I’m not tagging anyone!

Answer these questions then tag ? blogs you’d like to know better

tagged by @walkthegale and @farmerdamsel​. 

Nicknames: JC, j., [my irl lastname]

Zodiac: Leo. that’s the only bit I know. 

Height: 5′1.5″

Time: 22:34

Favourite band/artist: um. my brain short-circuited at the idea of a single favorite, but I love Leonard Cohen and the Indigo Girls and Beyoncé and Fleetwood Mac and the original Broadway cast of Ragtime and Sarah Connolly and Kelly Clarkson and Fiona Apple and Cher, off the top of my head of course.

Song stuck in my head: All I Want for Christmas is You, which, yes, is in part because it’s ubiquitous, but is mostly because of my Berena advent title convention (I am determined to catch up and finish Berena advent, but I got sick, and the Yuletide deadline is suddenly omg!soon, so look forward to a bunch of drabbles at the last second).

Last movie I saw: Coco

Last thing I Googled: I was checking to see if Sarah & Duck is available on US-region DVD (it is not) because it is of course my nephew’s favorite show and they pulled it from US Netflix. 

Other blogs: mazily on dreamwidth! I’m going to try to start updating there again (in addition to tumblr, which I’m not leaving until the last lights go out, etc.)!

Do I get asks: sometimes! I am terrible at responding in a timely manner and then let it overwhelm me, but also I am still working on those prompt responses (see above re: Yuletide deadline and add Secret Santa, etc.).

Why did I choose this username: it’s my LJ name backwards. I got that from a poem. 

Following: 97

Average amount of sleep: my alarm goes off at 5am on weekdays so never, ever, enough.

What I’m wearing: the cheerleading hoodie I stole from my sister when we drove from New Jersey to California in, oh gosh, 2002? ish?, grey sweatpants, and unicorn slipper socks. 

Dream job: for a bit I dreamed of being a nun, and then there was a period during which I dreamed of playing one of Erica Kane’s children on All My Children, and then of course I was going to perform in musicals, and then I thought maybe writing movies, or showrunning the next big sci fi TV show, and then maybe writing novels, or somehow getting paid to travel. my real dream job is being some sort of witch who lives in the woods but also near the sea and close enough for a day trips to a city that has good pizza and theatre and who writes queer romance and maybe something with a touch of religious-tinged horror. 

Dream trip: I have so many dream trips, honestly: Iran, a long slow ramble through the UK, taking my mother to Ireland (her dream trip; we’d do Dublin and wherever my grandmother’s cousins, etc. are), Egypt, visiting all the fandom Australians I have known, visiting all the fandom Kiwis I have ever known, Cambodia, New Orleans (always, forever, no matter how many times I go), the south of France, etc. etc. also Disney World and other Disney properties. 

Fave food: the m&m pancakes we only ate down the shore growing up, specifically the way they tasted to my childhood palate, with the smell of saltwater everywhere and sand stuck to my feet and a day alternating between ocean and bay ahead of me. also freshly baked bread and various spicy noodle dishes. 

Play any instruments: I quit both piano and clarinet as a child.

Hair colour: brown (although I’ve got some grey coming in I’m quite fond of).

Languages you speak: only English, really, although I can stumble along in terrible French after a day or two adjusting (it’s not pretty, but it gets the job done).

Most iconic song: Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

Random fact: I trained myself to say drawer with an -r sound at the end because I kept getting gently mocked for saying it draw and it still feels wrong in my mouth (it's such a comfort to slip back into draw draw draw, get the silverware from the draw when I visit my family). 

Describe yourself as aesthetic things: cats, striped blankets, coffee, punching down bread dough, whiskey, messy stacks of books, ink stains from writing longhand, peeling nail polish, smudged glasses, Doc Martens, water, a black suit and tie, spontaneous singing, clutter. 

Tagging: you and you and you you and you. honestly.
