All About You

[Diamond18]

Egad. How did I not post here before? I am sadly a connoisseur of these kinds of forms—I get them via email all the time and fill them out. They're addictive. I've gotten to the point where I can't seem to find ones with new questions. Baby, I seen it all. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

So...

Name: Diamond, Sarah Rose, Lita...Supreme Goddess of Whateverland...

Age: Let me see... 18 years 6 months 0 days.

Occupation: I work in a Library.

Future Aspirations: Become a published author, be remembered as a good (or even great) writer, and still have people reading my books after I'm dead and gone.

Goal in life: Isn't that the same thing? Well... I'd like to be a good Christian, which I'm not right now.

Short term goals: Pay my taxes, meet a guy who will look twice at me, etc. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Passion: Writing.

Hobbies: Writing (but let's call it a career, shall we?)

Famous for: I had my picture in the paper once, but that was just because they were doing a story about the county library system, and I was the only library employee who didn't refuse.

Favorite book: Lord of the Rings by JRRT,
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen,
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis,
The Sundering Winds by me. (I'm so...modest...)
Etc.

Favorite movie: LotR:FotR,
Indiana Jones RotLA & TLC,
What's Up Doc?,
The Mummy,
Pride & Prejudice '95
Etc.

Favorite sport: Figure skating I guess...not really, though. Baseketball is nice and soothing—easy to sleep to. Football is good, too (American, that is—World Football bores me to shivering pieces).

Favorite store: I hate to shop.

Favorite music:
Rock (mainly this)
Celtic
Nickel Creek (Grammy award, baby!)

What you can't stand:
Anti-American Americans,
Writer's block,
My computer,
My modem,
AOL & Yahoo!,
Elvis,
60's Girl Groups,
90's Boy Bands,
People who ask me where I'm going to college,
Guys telling me how cute/pretty/hot other girls are,
Guys telling me how "smart" I am,
(Now, here at the Barrow Downs I love it, but in real life it's kind of like being given the Miss Congeniality Let's-Just-Be-Friends Award.)

What you plain dislike:
Asparagus,
Broccoli,
Dishes that don't get clean in the dishwasher,
Mathematics,
My taxes.

Who you admire:God,
J.R.R. Tolkien,

Jan Karon,
Lewis Carroll,
Chuck Jones,
A number of friends, acquaintences and relatives,
George W. Bush,
Cats,
... and REB RPGers. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

(My what a motley bunch, and not all would get along with each other. Go figure.)

What you most love to do: Write.

Your self-confessed flaws: Egad. Stupidity, ignorance, immaturity, paranoia, hypocrisy, self-righteousness, close-mindedness, pride, ugliness, bad grammar, horrid spelling. Etc.

What intrigues/fascinates you: Insanity, Fantasy writing, music, and guys with curly hair. Well, mostly guys, really.

What scares you: My above flaws, guys, loneliness, writer's block, and most of all right now, my brother going to Iraq next week.

Quotation to live by:
If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing. ~ Benjamin Franklin

Additional comments:
Hmm... A Ringwraith spots a Hobbit 30 meters away—if the Ringwraith gallops towards the Hobbit at a speed of 12 meters per second and the Hobbit runs away at a speed of 10 meters per second, how long will it take the Ringwraith to catch up to the Hobbit?
