Meme: This is the meme that never eeeeends...
I got tagged again for this meme (though if I was feeling pedantic I'd say I was only tagged once since two of you got my username spelled wrong. ;-P) by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
big_pink, boogirl13 and ficwriter1966
Not only did I get taggedagain, twice three times for the meme I did the other day, due to the "Change the question if you feel like it" aspect, the same meme from those different people has totally different questions than the first meme. So, by mashing the sets of questions together, I'm forming a lurching Frankenstienian meme of questions I haven't answered yet.
1. You've just died. What happens?
Somebody better feed and medicate my damned cat. Anything beyond that is strictly 'need to know'. And unless you're planning on meeting me when I arrive in the afterlife, ya don't need to know. ;-)
Oh, and my boss whines incessantly about how horribly inconsiderate it was of me to die during the busiest time of year and ruin her life. :-P
2. Favorite childhood cartoon?
Anything. We only got two channels and did not have a VCR. Anything animated was automatically awesome to me, including tire commercials.
3. Favorite childhood movie?
Erm, whatever was played on Wonderful World of Disney, which is mainly what my parents let me watch. I remember "Escape from Witch Mountain", "The Cat from Outer Space", "The Shaggy Dog" and "Freaky Friday" vaguely. Oh and "Herbie". Ya know, Disney was on some serious crack in the seventies....
ETA: And "The Last Unicorn"! And "Flight of Dragons"! Both of which I forgot, because I only saw them briefly in childhood and then got them on tape finally in college and had them on constantly for months, so I associate them with college rather than childhood. Thank you for reminding meschweedie!
4. What goes on your hotdog?
Mustard, cheddar cheese, and sliced garlic dill pickle. Or mustard, relish and raw onions. Or mustard, processed nacho cheese and enough jalapenos to make it glow in the dark.
5. On balance, are you happy with your life as it is? Would you change it a little or change it a lot?
Whenever I start to get bitter about crap that happened in the past, I try to remind myself that it's all lead to where I am today. And whatever I'm going through today is leading me to where I will be in the future. So regardless of my personal happiness, the path I walk is the path I'm walking.
Yeow. That was pretentious. How bout we simplify it and go with yes? :-P
6. What's the one possession you USED TO have, but don't anymore and wish you did? What happened to it?
There used to be an itemized list of stuff that didn't make it out with me when I got out of a bad part of my life. But really, it's all just stuff. Es machts nicht.
7. You (as you are now, not a fictionalized you) are a character in an episode of SPN. What's your role?
Oh my. See, right now due to staffing issues, part of my job is covering the till for an hour at the only photocopy place in a 10 km radius that has a public use computer, and we're within walking distance of one of the quirkier hotels in the area...
So, I'd be the bored out of my mind copy clerk when Dean came in to make fake ID's. The one that has to try to figure out a work-around to get the public computer to talk to the colour laser printer, since the nice young man seems to be reluctant to just let me take the file and print it from the main computer (and I'd be kind of thinking that it was porn, but as long as all parties were consenting I wouldn't care). And if I saw the ID's (which I'd have to if they needed laminating), I'd start asking him if it was for a LARP and start babbling about RPG's and student film projects.
All this would happen off-screen, because it's boring as hell, so I'd just be the clerk in the background in the copy shop. :-P
8. Name one person for whom you'd definitely take a bullet, and one for whom you definitely wouldn't.
Depends. Where do they want me to take it to, and why can't they just courier the damn thing?
9. Worst case scenario?
Doesn't exist. There is no worst, there is only worse, in a bottomless well of potential calamity and woe. *is emo*
10. For you only, not as a broad political statement: life imprisonment or death sentence?
Depends on the crime, the criminal, and the needs of the victim.
11. Jury duty. Ever done it? What was it like? Wanna do it? Thoughts at all?
No, not applicable, sure, but they'd bounce me in the pre-screening as a nutcase that would treat the case like a murder mystery even if it's a traffic violation. Darn it.
12. You discover you've been drafted into military service (to a country to which you hold a citizenship). What do you do?
Moot in Canada at this point in time. However, I have in the past voluntarily looked into joining the armed forces (and was laughed at heartily for various cogent reasons).
That said, I think if Canada got desperate enough to institute a draft and then draft me, I'd be honor-bound to go, because we would obviously be aaaaaaall the way up the proverbial creek. :-/
13. Describe the flag design of your personal utopia.
Blue. With a big yellow X-P face. Underscribed on a fancy red ribbonny looking thing with the words: "Yehwah Kuffuth Ohg." Which phonetically backwards is 'Go the Fuck Away'. My utopia being me, hermitted up, in a well-stocked house, where no one I don't want to interact with can get at me. (This doesn't include you guys of course. Interact away! ;-D)
14. What's in your pocket right now? Conversely, if you have no pocket, what are the items closest to your right hand, excluding computer hardware?
What has it got in its pocketses... Nothing in the pocketses, but oddly, the One Ring is one of the closest things to my right hand - it's on a bookmark. Also thesaurus, dictionary, international naming book, pens, pencils, metric conversion calculator, adjustable 4 hole punch, rubber bands, pushpins, paperclips, library DVD disk 1 of season 3 of Deadwood (how the hell does Jim Beaver get so much across with a completely blank facial expression??? How?) that I need to return soon, a crapload of pens, notes, notepaper and similar desk dottle, my copy of Season three of Supernatural to date, box of Kleenex, and about five pounds of original fiction hardcopy that someday I'll get around to revising and doing something with, maybe. Everything else is still packed away in boxes.
Oh, also at my right hand is an utterly dire lack of drinkable things.
*plots the immediate acquisition of drinkables*
Aaaand that's the end of new questions. So 6 more....?
How about this.
15 through 20. Ask me a question. I'll answer the first six that show up.
15. What is your middle name?
Embarrasing, and a source of horrible torment in school? ;-)
16. What is your view on daylight savings? Love it? Hate it? Impartial?
I'm cool with daylight savings, even though it takes an hour from me when I need it most. I just wish they'd stop moving the date around. It is a kind of archaic practice though, and I wouldn't miss it if it went away. On the other hand, if they could insert an extra three or four hours into every day, that'd be awesome. Just slow down the rotation of the earth a little, is that too much to ask?
17. What was your favorite pair of shoes when you were 7 years old?
Probably either gumboots or bare feet. Heh. I think that was the year I managed to step on nails in the farm yard twice and had them go right through my foot, so whatever shoes I was wearing should have been steel-plated.
So, since this is obviously a dangerous cycle to perpetuate, I'm not tagging anyone. Also, I think I'm running low on friends that a) haven't done it yet and b) won't skin me alive for tagging them.
If you are in neither of the above categories, though, consider yourself tagged. ;-)

(...Canada has Daylight Savings right?)
I love your Supernatural character. You have a lot of stuff by your right hand (I have..my phone, a calculator, a ring, mace, some IDs and my room key....having the urge to use the mace...*cough*). That's weird stuff for a hot dog. I'm a ketchup person...although there was this awesome hot dog at my previous work that had cucumber, pickle, mustard, onion, relish, tomato, garlic salt, and a banana pepper that was delicious...I'm rambling, I need sleep.

Apologies for not noticing that you'd already done the thing. I picked 8 people I'd like to know more about, and you were definitely on that list. :)
Beyond that? You is an AWESOME beta. Pat yourself on the back. But don't dislocate anything. Makes it hard to type.

Aw. *blushes*
You is an AWESOME beta.
*blushes again some more* You're welcome. :-)

Chaos is severely diabetic. He's never been overweight, so I don't know how it developed. He gets the maximum dosage for his size insulin injection every 12 hours, and has for a few years now. He's pretty cool with the routine, but gets annoyed about the needle every so often. It's a bit of a drag that I can't leave the house for more than 12 hours at a stretch, but... *shrug* he's my cat. What can I say. :-)
Right now he's doing... okay. He's been having a bit of a downturn lately, but I suspect that's more because I have to work nearly 12 hour shifts lately and the only time he sees me most days is when it's time to get medicated. :-P
no subject
Awww, poor sweet Chaos. :( That stinks. If, God forbid, you croak and have no one else to do it, I'll take the preciousssss and give him his meds for ya. If you really need to go away you should call your local vet and see if they do boarding for pets with medical needs. At least they would know what they were doing. And I hope your work load lets up sometime soon.

Heh. Tried that. There is only one place in town that takes animals with medication requirements, and that one didn't bother telling me until a week before I was supposed to go away (after I had psyched myself up to go, booked the time off, made travel arrangements, pre-paid the attendance fee, reserved a hotel room and everything) that they had decided to go to Disneyland that weekend and the week following and shut the whole place down. :-P
I'm not leaving my cat anywhere that flaky.
