tommygirlIt's going around again and I quite enjoy it:
THE RULES:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions. (This is why I don't do memes all that often.)
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
1. Would you say you're very like or nothing like the person you were when you were younger? Why do you say that?
I think I'm still a lot like the person I was when I was younger, but now I'm much more comfortable and confident in my own skin. In my early twenties I began to realize that it was okay to be me, whereas for the longest time (especially high school), I did my best to fit in and not really draw attention to myself (unless I was on stage playing someone else).
2. Do you think it's important for a woman to know how to change a tire? Do you know how to change a tire?
I do know how to change a tire and jump a car. My older brother insisted these were things that I needed to know how to do and he taught me how. That said, I'm a complete spazz and would much rather just call AAA to do it for me rather than me-the-klutz killing myself. It's definitely useful to know how to do, but in today's day-and-age of cellphones & auto clubs, it might not be as much of a necessity (at least not here in Jersey). I would say that if you don't know how to do these things as a woman, you do need to be more careful - have a cellphone, have roadside assistance, and be aware of any strangers that come along on the road.
3. What's the most important quality in a SO? Is it the same or different as you'd look for in a friend?
Compassion. I find it a complete turn-on when a guy is able to feel for others, tries to do good by people, etc.
4. How do you feel about RPS where Jared is cheating on Sandy? Does this at all differ from your feelings about infidelity in RL?
I'm personally not a fan of the RPS that includes Sandy. It's just not my thing because it feels too real and like I'm invading someone's private relationship. And I realize that i'm a terrible hypocrite because Jared/Jensen do have a relationship, just not the type I tend to read/write about...but yeah, I'm never really a fan of stories where characters I love cheat. I've been cheated on. It's the suckiest thing you can go through and it carries over with you into other relationships (fair or not).
5. Jared/Jensen: who tops? Or do they switch? If they switch, who likes to bottom MORE? Any reasoning for this?
I think they switch. I think on any given day either one of them is in control and the initiator of physical contact. I do have to say that I picture Jared as a top more, mostly because I have a serious Jealous!Jared claiming possession of Jensen kink!

I'm going through caffeine withdrawal, my sinuses are killing me, and the boy has left to go back up to NYC. He was in a lovely mood this morning because his week of vacation is over. Cry him a river. My vacation isn't until October.
We were incredibly lazy yesterday, watching a bunch of crap on television and reading and napping. We are so damn lame. SOmetimes I think we're together because no one else would tolerate our lameness.
However, I did manage to finish up the first draft of Daddy!Dean fic which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iamentheos is going to beta and I also wrote out the first draft of cricketkate's Kat/Ethan fic in a notebook. Now I just have to type it up, do my own edits, and look for a beta. I like it when I'm productive with my writing.
Still have tons to do though like Jen's b-day story 'o doom that won't end and ficathon pieces. So much writing, so little time. It doesn't help that random ideas keep coming up. I think my Sam/Dean story, I Can Feel Your Heart Beat from a Thousand Miles, has spawned a possible 'verse and that scares me. Mostly because there are so many ideas that started coming up when I began writing that piece, but I couldn't get it all in. But I'm not sure I'm the right type of person to undertake creating a whole 'verse at the moment, as my writing is so damn sporadic. Then again, I tend to feel like that line from Idina Menzel's song "Still I Can't Be Still": I resist the muses, but they sing to me in exile... Lordy, I'm broken.
