Flight into Fantasy

Yay for blog memes. I love them to distraction, and I always end up doing them, even if some seem too boring to post.

This one I got from Jen B.

1. What thing is nearest to you? An empty glass which used to contain Kool-aid.
2. What is your ringtone? It’s actually one of the presets on my phone. It sounds vaguely musical, but it’s not any particular tune.
3. What was the last message in your inbox? I think at the moment it’s an RP tag. (Yes, yes, I am a nerd. This should not surprise you.)
4. Who is your best friend? I think I’m going to copy Jen and confess I don’t really have one. I have several close friends, but I don’t want to rank them. That might make them sad.
5. What is the brand of your TV? I’m one of those people normal folks hate. I don’t own a TV. I don’t really miss its lack, except for when I want to glom a TV show, and that’s why God invented DVD’s, which I can play on my computer.
6. What schools did you attend? This question sort of skeeves me out. Why don’t I just say I’ve attended the school of hard knocks and be done with it?

7. Do you own a MP4? Um… Given that I don’t know what that is, I’m assuming that’s a no.

8. What song are you listening to now? I am so lame. I had a random Internet radio stream on in the background, but loaded my music just to see what would show up on shuffle. It turns out to be “I want a Man” by Nancy Moran, a folk singer/songwriter I adore.

9. Did you kiss anybody in the past 2 days? No. *sadface*

10. Have you ever kissed someone you met in the blogosphere? Actually… Yes. Though we didn’t really meet in what I think of as the blogosphere, since LJ is kind of its own microcosm. It’s a long story, though, and, while the person in question is still someone I very much like, I prefer not to dwell on the year that brought me in contact with him.
11. What would you want to call yourself if you didn’t have your current name? When I was growing up, I was disappointed that I wasn’t given a name that ended with an a. Now… Shannon is actually a fairly unique name.
12. Would you be happy if you had everything? Nope. I’d probably want more of everything.
13. Are you always thinking of someone special? Well, you know, I am pretty damn special, and I think about myself a lot during the course of a day.

14. Tell us of your most desperate dream? Desperate, huh? Well, apparently it involves sexy people with Scottish accents doing unspeakable things to my person.

15. When did you last laugh till you cried? I never laugh that hard, because it takes a lot to make me cry. But… probably last Saturday.

16. If you had a crush, would you tell them you love him/her now? Sadly, no crushes. Lately, all the ones I develop end in tragedy. (Either they’re married, they’re a creeper, or they’re a married creeper.) On the other hand, I have friends I adore to distraction who I would go live in sin with if only the idea of actually moving anywhere farther away than about three blocks away didn’t give me the heebie jeebies.

17. If you could be anywhere in the world now, where would you want to be? A beach somewhere. There would be cabana boys involved, and they would be serving me drinks and rubbing my back.

18. When was your heart last broken? If it counts… It was the end of a book I read recently, which should have featured one of the characters getting together with the man she fell in love with. But noooo. That’s not what happened. I sniffled.

19. Whose birthday(s) is/are coming up? My brother’s is in August. I’m thinking that’s the next birthday I have to remember.

20. How many email accounts do you have? Um… four. Five if you count the school email account, which gets forwarded to my main email address.
