Last kiss: This morning. Aaron gives me a kiss when he drops me off at the train station.

Ever been stood up?: Yes… by friends and clients and ugh

Ever been to Vegas? Yeah! Several times. Though I’ve never been to any Vegas shows. Or stayed in any swanky hotels.

Zodiac sign: Virgo
Height: 5′6″

gabapplewrites:

carpetcrawler:

gabapplewrites (is that the one you use now I get confused man) 

Yes and no! gabapple is where I post all of the art and I still use it, but I follow way too many people to keep up with…  gabapplewrites is more for non-art updates and reblogs of writing stuff, with a much much smaller follow list… 

ahem

5 facts about me:

  1. I’m allergic to cucumbers. A lot. Even the scent makes my skin itch. Can’t touch it without it feeling like a burn. No shampoos or lotions or anything with cucumber in it allowed! Pickles, on the other hand… No problem whatsoever. Vinegar wins again!
  2. It is really hard for me to pick a ‘favorite’ of anything because I like too many things and context changes everything. Which is really annoying. 
  3. I love singing, and I’ve been in lots of choirs and vocal groups, but still have trouble reading sheet music. Probably doesn’t help that I can’t play an instrument to save my life. It just all turns into math and then I get so confused. 
  4. Disneyland is my #1 most favorite place in the world… and I haven’t been in 7 years. Sob. (first world problems, I know)
  5. I’ve only ever kissed one person… and that would be my husband, whom I met online in 1999 on a pokemon roleplaying group, and married in 2006. No regrets. 

lemurcat:

  • Rule 1: Always post the rules.
  • Rule 2: Answer the questions the person that tagged you has written and write 11 new ones.
  • Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post.
  • Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. What was your first pet like? If you never had a pet, what pet would you like to have?

Hmm… I think I had a goldfish before we got our dog, Charlie. 

2. What is the best kind of chocolate?

Ehhhh… … … hot chocolate? Low fat chocolate milk? I’m allergic to it, so it’s gotta be more something else than chocolate. I do like chocolate when it’s with, like, peanut butter or caramel, but even then… 

3. Do you know any Japanese, and if so what was the first word you learned?

I took two years of it in high school and barely remember any of it… my first word was probably ‘arigato,’ I think. 

4. Pick a pokemon type.

NORMAL~! 

5. Pick an Eeveelution.

Flareon! 

6. If you were a cat, what kind of cat would you be?

Maine coon, probably. 

7. Who is your favorite pony?

Spike Apple Jack.

8. Which is better, Star Trek or Star Wars?

Hmmm… I love Han Solo, but Captain Picard is… amazing…

9. What’s your favorite Australian animal?

Wallaroo~ 

10. Who is the best captain in Starfleet?

Picard 😀

11. What’s your favorite shade of orange?

Very orangey-orange. Maybe a touch more red than yellow, but bright and vibrant and easy to put black or white text on it… a really halloweeny orange.
