Five Questions
Five Questions from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The Questions
1. How do you look back on your high school/college years?
2. What is/was your favorite fairy tale?
3. Which story that you've written do you love the most?
4. What do you think is the best and worst thing about fandom?
5. Nine or Ten? :D
1. I enjoyed high school. I have a lot of really good memories, and a few really bad ones, but for the most part high school was a good experience.
College was, well, interesting. I had a very love/hate relationship with it. I picked wrong with schools and ended up very uncomfortable at such a huge school (Michigan State). I found some great friends, none of whom I stay in touch with anymore, but it was nice at the time.
I count my junior year as one of the best in my life. I studied abroad to Hong Kong for 5 months, then Rome for 5 months and I had a FANTASTIC time.
I also loved my summers - working at summer camp and a computer software company. I made a ton of friends, most I still am in touch with.
2. Rapunzel or Sleeping Beauty! I love them both so very very much.
3. Love the most - I'm going for a tie. Red Light on a Wedding Night because I had so much fun writing it. And A Little Crazy because it's the story I always wanted to write, but never thought I actually could.
4. Best thing - the people. I have made so many amazing friends in fandom. All of my current "best" friends I met through fandom.
Worst thing - the crazy sense of entitlement regarding shows and characters.
5. Ten. Hands down.
If anyone wants questions from me, let me know. :-)

Okay, here goes:
1) "Don't Look Back" by Kenny Maclean. No, you've probably never heard of him, or the song... it's a minor Canadian hit from the '80s, but the chorus has always hooked me.
2) Chill out with some good TV, or on the computer, reading about other peoples' days which have hopefully gone better than mine.
3) If by 'dumb comedies' you mean things like Army of Darkness, well, then I think you have your answer.
4)You're asking someone with no memory? mmm... off the top of my head, I'd say it was back when I was in 4-H. We were doing the 'fun parade' at the PNE (basically a costume parade with the animals. Ours was a beef club, and we used a theme of Ferdinand, with everybody dressed up in 'Spanish' costumes, and using my sister's (very tame) steer as 'Ferdinand'. As we were going in, my mother came up with the idea that instead of walking, I ride the steer like a horse (I was the smallest kid in the club and we knew he was tame enough for it), just to up the cute factor. As they started creeping closer to first place, we just knew we hadn't placed. Then, when they announced us as the winner, the two guys leading the steer were so excited, they began to run towards the judges and someone had to pull me off the steer's back before I fell off. I don't remember too much detail, just everybody being excited and convinced that the fact that I was riding instead of walking put us over the top. Which kind of made me feel special. :)
Right up there with that would have to be the memory of winning my very first public speaking competition ever, in 4-H as well (my topic was goldfish). I give the program credit for the fact that I am not afraid to do public speaking, at all.
5)Because they love me! Seriously, my flist has been so supportive of me, it's not even funny... and you all have helped me grow and become stronger on my own. Plus, being a shy person (I am!), it's kind of amazing to find that there are these people around the world who are interested in talking to me. It still blows my mind, a little.
