dahlia_moonIf you’ve been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question. Tag eleven people. Don’t refuse to do that. Don’t tag who tagged you. (tagged by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

→ What song are you currently addicted to?
Voodoo by Alexz Johnson (and a few more of her songs like 'Another Thin Line,' 'I Still Love You' and 'I Will Be the Flame') and 'Come Undone' by Duran Duran.
→ What's your favorite season?
Autumn, definitely. I love watching the leaves change color, and running through them is fun too because they make that crunchy sound. I love when it's chilly and how the whole earth seems to change and become colder and less bright.
→ What’s the latest movie you watched?
Um, I think it was Legion. Yeah, that sounds about right.
→ What is the one skill you wish you had?
To learn how to play instruments would be awesome. I'm still so disappointed in myself that I can't play anything. But been there and done that and nothing came of it. :(
→ What’s your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Tennis, of all things. But I predict it'll come and go since I don't care much for sports. Am particularly smitten with Novak Djokovic now. And learning how to make fanvids! So am now all hyped up on fanvid making and creating and seeing other fanvids. Good times. :D Oh and also have been watching random bits of Big Time Rush on the Nickleodeon channel just because the guys are cute and been immersed in BBC's Merlin.

→ What's your favorite musical instrument?
The thing is I'm not at all musical; I can't read music notes to say my life (it's probably because it's quite similar to mathematics...and yeah, mathematics and I can't even stand to be in the same room with each other). I remember having been forced to learn the violin in public school in junior high and had music class in elementary school where they gave me a flute to play and those experiences are still giving me nightmares thinking about them. So I really don't have a favorite musical instrument. I mean I still think violins are pretty cool despite my horrid experiences with them and pianos are just visually attractive and drums are basically rockin'! I guess I have instruments I like and think are pretty cool, but not any favorites really.
→ What web sites do you always visit when you go online?
Livejournal, Hotmail, Twitter, Dreamwidth, and Ao3 and Fanfiction.Net for my fic needs.
→ What was the last thing you bought?
The last thing I brought was my school books and some other school supplies (mostly pencils, pens, a planner, a folder, and three notebooks).
→ If you won 10,000 bucks today, what would you do with it?
Put maybe half in a savings account, and go on a vacation somewhere exotic.
→ Favourite time of day?
I really love when the sun starts setting and there's this dark hue that covers the earth and sky gets to be three different colors all at once and it gets cooler. I think certain times of the day do have their own charms (like staying up past four am and watching it get light again is pretty magical) but I really like when it's twilight.
→ What's the last thing that made you happy?
Hmmm, actually this week has been utterly horrible and nothing has been making me particularly happy (just exhausted and sick) because I've been trying to be a responsible adult and, frankly, IT SUCKS. But I am slowly watching BBC's Merlin and that's filled with yay!ness and *squee* so yeah, good ol' Merlin.
→ Do you want to learn another language?
Possibly. I've wanted to learn Italian and French for the longest time. And maybe Greek would be awesome too. I did learn Ancient Greek once, but I don't remember any of it (except for certain letters of the alphabet like alpha, beta, sigma, theta, episolon, chi or xi or however it's pronounced). Spanish and Ancient Latin, I've studied too but I think everything I learned has pretty much evaporated from my mind except for things like the phrase Cave Canem but only because that was the phrase of our Latin Club when we went on meets because our highschool mascot was a bulldog so naturally someone came up with the phrase 'beware the dogs' in Latin.

Also - not that I would expect people to - but please don't crosspost comments made here on my LJ to Facebook (especially the flocked entries). It's more of my weird privacy thing really because there's me on here and then there's me on Facebook and those are separate things (it's a long story but basically no one in my RL knows I'm a fannish person and I'd like to keep it that way). I mean I do have some friends who read both my FB account and my livejournal but that's not a problem because I trust those people to not blab about my fannish pursuits to people I might not want to have that information.
I personally won't use this feature on FaceBook, so it's useless for me. (Both my LJ & Twitter are already linked although I don't understand why LJ has this new feature now anyways since LiveJournal, Twitter, and Facebook are all different things, used for different purposes and NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET but whatever, LJ. I think so many other sites have crosspost features that maybe LJ is trying to be cool too? It's not working for them, btw).
So I promise to NOT crosspost comments I make on other people's posts to Facebook or Twitter unless they explicitly give me permission to do so and I'd like it if the same was done for me (because if I wanted my Facebook linked with my Livejournal, trust me, it would've been linked already).

Like this is one of Voodoo:

And this is one of her earliest of voodoo (but the first is a concert type thing and this second was an Orange Lounge session, but both are live):
