Wtf: Another Eleven Questions

[black_sluggard]

Not tagging anyone because I already did this meme, but to be a good sport:

1.How do you feel about your (real, legal, the one printed on your IDs) name?
Apparently my mom always wanted a daughter named Jennifer Anne, and my father had a sister who died as a baby who was named Jennifer Anne, so it worked out for both of them as far as being a long wanted baby name and a family name. So I respect that, but personally, I'm kind of ambivalent. I don't think "Jennifer" suits me very well. It's...pretty femmy. Which I am...not at all. And so...yeah. I also am not overly fond of any of the potential diminutives. Jenn is the least offensive to me, and I will cut a bitch who calls me Jenny/Jennie/Jenna/any similar.

But, were this not my name, I wouldn't get to make name-related jokes with fellow Rysposito fans roachstar and mb_jazz_freak87 ("Jen, Jenn & Jennie" is probably the best so far, but I'm starting to think a signed letter to Jenny Ryan has the potential to be hilarious).

If I could pic my own name, I would probably want it to be Joe or Joey. Which I would spell that way, gender conventions be damned, because I like it.

2.You can move in in a tv show. Which one is it, and is it temporary?
I would move in on Heroes. It could be permanent, sure. It's close enough to the real world, when that world isn't going to explode, and at least I probably won't be eaten or  raped ('cause, you know, Supernatural, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead are my three current biggies, where you're likely to experience one, the other, or both respectively).

I don't care if I have a power or not, I'd just want to be Lyle Bennet's next door neighbor. Kid needs a friend S.T.A.T. I could totally be that friend. Which sounds a little stalkerish, but he just needs someone who listens to his problems, or, you know, acknowledges that he exists at all.

Possibly getting to meet his dad  would just be a very, very strong bonus...

3.You are informed that you can now travel instantly to whereever you want just by thinking it. Where do you go as a test?
I have a teleporting superpower? Easy. My geeky bff lives all the way on the opposite end of the country. I'd show up right behind his computer chair and flick his ear. That boy's ears demand flicking...

4. What is your Drag Queen name? (Take the name of your first pet, and the name of the first street you lived on.) 
Fred Schoolhouse doesn't sound very Drag Queenish (or porn starish, because I've heard it both ways). Now, if I use my first cat, Diana, then it totally does.

5.What's the creepiest thing to know about you? (in your opinion or opinions of others that have expressed it to you)

Um...the first time I remember experiencing sexual arousal was while watching An American Werewolf in London.

Yes, the transformation scene...


6.What is something that, diet or no diet, you CANNOT say no to?
Peanut butter. Which is, thankfully, not commonly verboten in diets I don't think (not that I diet), but it's very often paired with chocolate, which is even more deadly... It's also the only thing capable of redeeming banana's for me (which I hate utterly and with a violent passion).

And peanut butter nutella sandwiches? *dies*

My favorite thing though is peanutbutter on vanilla ice cream. Mmmmm.

Seriously, if I ever developed an allergy, I'd probably suicide by peanut butter.

7. You are ropped into a talent show against your will (or not). What do you demonstrate?
I'd probably wind up reciting "Vicious Cabaret" from the comic V for Vendetta. I memorized it ages ago for a speech class I failed, and with a little bit of notice I can usually remember it again pretty quickly.

"They say that there's a broken light for every heart on Broadway.
They say that life's a game and then they take the board away.
They give you masks and costumes and an outline of the story,
and leave you all to improvise their Vicious Cabaret.

In no longer pretty cities there are fingers in the kitties,
There are warrants, forms and chitties and a jackboot on the stair.
There's sex and death and human grime in monochrome for one thin dime,
And at least the trains all run on time but they don't go anywhere..."

Ah, Alan Moore...I love that mad bastard. ♥

8. Monsters are real. Everything from Buffy verse to supernatural verse is real. What do you do in such a world? (Become a hunter? Pretend you don't know and hope they won't notice you? Ask for a denial treatement like in the Matrix so you can forget you know? Who knows, maybe you have already. :P)
I'd definitely go into a support-type position a la Bobby/Giles/Dr. Badass/[insert research monkey's name here]. I've got a knack for useless information, a curious mind, a good eye for what isn't useless, and a general love of stories and information. I think I'd kick ass at it.

9. What's the last thing you ate and drank? (no cheating, we won't tell your momma)
Half a chicken salad sandwich (because my grandma only ever eats half a sandwich) and a glass of Sprite.

10. You've just made an embarrassing dast dash to catch a bus and missed. You're panting and out of breath. You look around to find your favorite celebrity sitting at the bus stop. He/she's looking at you. Reaction?
"What? *puff* We can't all be the Terminator."

I can think of worse things than passing out at Sam Worthington's feet. Especially if he's gentlemanly enough to see if I need mouth to mouth...

11. Your pet suddenly starts talking to you. It remembers everything that's been said around it or to it. Do you think you're loved? And what's your connection with it from now on? (distrust, plotting, lat ratting, etc...)
Yeah... My cat, Zoe, has nothing nice to say to me. I'm a terrible pet parent.

Bonus question: What/Who would you be if you were born in the other gender?
If I'd been born a boy, I'd probably have been named Kenneth, after my grandfather and oldest uncle. I don't know what my little sister Kenna would've been called instead. I'd probably be very different from who I am now. I like to think my dad probably would have taken me hunting with him once or twice back when we lived in the foothills, so I'd know how to fire a gun. Probably would have hung out with my half brother and his friends more than my little sisters, which is sad, 'cause he's a douche and my sisters are my favorite people in the world.

It's a weird what-if scenario, so lets say I still mostly like guys. If I'd still kissed my childhood best friend, Brian, when I was eight I probably would never have been allowed to play with him again...his family was very religious.

(I say that mostly because it still amuses me that he was Sleeping Beauty in that scenario.)

If the dogs on our street were still poisoned back then, and we still launched the (unsuccessful) Scooby Doo sting operation to catch who did it, maybe I would have latched onto the copishness. I know when I was in the 2nd grade I briefly wanted to be a cop, and when I was in the 6th I wanted to be Natalie Lambert (the ME from Forever Knight, so yeah...). So I might have actually stuck with that instead of letting myself be distracted by the peer pressure of dolphin binders and girlie science (i.e. marine biology...there's nothing wrong with marine biology, but it's the stereotypically acceptable "girl geek" field).

Would hopefully have still been BFFs with Zach Whitehouse in middle school. I had a crush there, so if my suspicions were right about that, he might have been that first real kiss I still haven't gotten IRL... If my suspicions were wrong, we probably would have just hung out more.

In general, I think if I were a boy my parents and grandmother wouldn't have been as protective, so I might be more outgoing (as in, less "We moved to the big scary city, don't go out...period." Might've found a clique that fit me better in high school. If I were a guy, I might've stuck with baseball after 4th grade, so I could've been into that. Or I might've still been a chubby kid, and done the DnD and comics thing, so I might've actually played a couple of games by now instead of just DM'd a couple for siblings.

I probably would've been pushed to actually do something right after high school, so I'd probably have a job. My dad would've hated it, but maybe in this weird genderswapped AU, I'd be a cop. Would be awkward, because my parents would probably still have the friends they did, and do now. Might have cost me some diplomacy points all around, but it's a calling I think I could've been drawn to at one time. I've thought about it, even without the genderswap scenario, but it's...yeah. It wouldn't work with who I am in this world. The person I am now is too angry with the status quo to stomach being a cop.

But I'd get to threaten Josh as the big brother who would kick his ass if he missteps with Kenna and not just the snarky sister (who will still kick his ass if he fucks up, and he knows it, but I think he'd respect the threat more if I had a dick... *eyeroll*).

Oh, and if I were a guy, I'm sure I wouldn't still be a virgin at 27. Even if the story was absolutely pathetic...

Fabulous way to get to know you! Cheers!

Just FYI, I've changed my name, legally, twice. The name I go by now, bares no resemblance to the one I was born with. It helps if you change jobs and cities, too, though.

Your first pet's name was Fred? Would it be rude to laugh at that?

I think it's awesome that you are stalking Lyle. He needs that, truly he does. You should write a bad!fic where you are the main character. LOL!

I apparently need to check out this The Game of Thrones. Was that eaten or raped?

Yay! for Giles. I so wish they had made Ripper.

Arnold the gubernator, is your favorite celebrity?

Have you ever tried soy nut butter?

(I say that mostly because it still amuses me that he was Sleeping Beauty in that scenario.)

Ahahahaha!!! My first kiss/show our privates to, turned out to be gay. Sigh. That's my life, in a nutshell.

...there's nothing wrong with marine biology, but it's the stereotypically acceptable "girl geek" field).

Is it? I had no idea. I once thought about marine bio, but that would mean going to school in Florida, and I didn't want to leave home. I suppose we aren't counting psychology here? I know, it's a soft science. ::snarl::

You know, you can still be a cop. :-)

And I'm sure there are plenty of men still virgins at 27! Believe me, you're not missing out on much. You know, this is National Masturbation Month! ;-)

I don't remember if I named him, or if he came with that name from where we got him. He was a little white rat. ^^

I think it's awesome that you are stalking Lyle. He needs that, truly he does. You should write a bad!fic where you are the main character. LOL!
He needs people to tell him that he's awesome. You know those badass Bennet genes are just waiting for their own activation. Didn't he try to stand up to Sylar with a baseball bat once?

I apparently need to check out this The Game of Thrones. Was that eaten or raped?
It's HBO, so it definitely falls on the rape side of the fence.

Arnold the gubernator, is your favorite celebrity?
Sam Worthington, who was also in Avatar, played a Terminator in the last film. *swoonage*

You know, you can still be a cop. :-)
Even if I was in any shape for it physically, I have too little faith in the system. It's one of those things where I love the ideal and the scrubbed up TV version, but honestly can't stand the reality.

And I'm sure there are plenty of men still virgins at 27! You know, this is National Masturbation Month! ;-)
Yeah, I'm aware, and I don't feel like I'm missing out. I just think that, between my dad, an older half brother, five older male cousins, and numerous of my dad's male construction associates I grew up with as uncles, I'm pretty sure someone would have intervened by now. lol

1.
Huh. Named after a late relative. Kinda creepy. But hey, as long as it doesn't bother you. You have to admit the universe seemed to decide that you would be called that way.
I like Jen. I have a thing for initials. I think if I knew you personally, I'd call you 'J' unless you asked me not to.
I can't do that with my name. Because as far as France sucks, I can't change it, and therefore I'd be an 'S'. And my best friend would be a 'B'. Way, way too Gossip Girl for me. (Which makes me realise I sign most of my stuff GG. ARGH!)

2.
Wow. Way more compassionate than I am. I read what you said (and agreed on the 'livability' of those universes. Though thay wouldn't keep me, I think...), and I thought... Who's Lyle Bennet?
I just spaced out on him. Oops.

3.
You. Are awesome.

4.
*gigglefit*

5.
Well... naked guy flexing?
If it is a deeper kink than that... you apparently are far from alone: http://youtu.be/6K3Zdirghkw

6. In most diet a small amount of chocolate is actually advised because we don't get magnesium from many places. And that's why I'm taking supplements, because I hate chocolate with a firy vengence.
Also, I've been told that my way of eating bananas is unconsciously very disturbing to both genders. So now i feel self conscious about it and cut it in a bowl with milk and cereal (stole that from the Summers' breakfast reciepes)

7.
there are fingers in the kitties
Um... I may be lacking a reference. Or I understood that and it's worse.

Awesome. I recided the V tirade for an audition. Both in French and in English. But I just can remember bits now.

Great minds, we have.

8. I'd love to say I'd be like Buffy. But in all honesty i'd probably be more like Willow (from the geeky slayerette to the junkie phase) or, kinda break down and run HQ from Bobby's ghost proof panic room and get my groceries delivered to the door.

10. I read you and confused Sam Worthington and Sam Huntington, the latter I cursh on since VM, but... I don't know the other guy. Eye candy, though.

11. I've grown up somewhat attracted to the idea of being a cop. The ideal of it, you know: as Esposito says it, somewhat of a superhero, without the super. Doing good, justice, and it matters.
But my parents are old hippies and would never have understood. They don't even understand the appeal when I try to explain. It wouldn't have sat right with them.
Plus, as you grow up you realize that... most of the time it doesn't matter. The battle is at a standstill and the line is itched one way or the other a little bit everyday... but if it's not a losing battle, it's a never-winning one, and I'm not sure I can stomach that. (litterally: furstration leads to ulcers in a very unavoidable pattern with me)

:D I really like how you retraced your life and imagined that you could have been a boy. And it's not at all pathetic.

At least if I'd been a boy I could have dodged even more bullets. (Being named Sophie and almost being named Murielle. Really?? Mumu?)

[black_sluggard]

I just spaced out on him. Oops.
Such is Lyle. This is why he needs dimension hopping friends who can remind him he exists. The writers all but forgot about him too. T_T

I can't wait until I get to Lyle in the Zeitgeist stories. Not only does he get to be a bad ass, as is his birthright, Javier gets to exact some petty revenge on Noah because of it...

If it is a deeper kink than that... you apparently are far from alone
Oooh, yeah. It's definitely a deeper kink than that. And not just werewolves. I routinely end up on the "weird part of youtube" because of it. And yeah, I know transformation fetish is far from a rare kink, it's just odd and fairly obscure.

Actually, this kink is probably why the Kevin/Javi werewolf 'verse is so sparse on description of the transformation period. I'd just focus on it way more and in greater detail than anyone else would really want to read (you know, the way I do with post-vital biology and Konrad's Nazi memories...). But there is a certain scene I almost want to write for the wolf 'verse. If porn didn't take me forever to write I'd probably do it...

Lets just say it falls under the category of "shit Castle cannot know about ever" and leave it at that.

Um... I may be lacking a reference. Or I understood that and it's worse.
LOL. "Kitty" is a (not oft used, or chiefly British maybe?) word for like, a cash box or expense money I think? So in this case, it's talking about corruption.

Yeah, not... Ew. Gosh.

I read you and confused Sam Worthington and Sam Huntington
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the latter Sam, but that's mostly a side effect of his involvement in that awful Being Human remake. (And, omg, the peeve I have for them remaking British shows because the US is too stupid for them is a mile long...even if, painfully, that's usually correct *sigh*)

I plan on giving him another chance when I get to see Dylan Dog. I've heard it's not great, but... Well, you probably know me well enough by now to know why I at least want to see his character.

(all my kinks are weird kinks)

As for the boy me 'verse, I've thought about it before. And tried not to idealize it in my head. This is just the first time I've ever thought about it with the intent of writing it down.
