25 Random Things Meme

Not tagging - everyone I know seems to have done this already. But, nonetheless, here are 25 random things about me. I think.

( Cut for my extreme rambling. )

That...was surprisingly hard. Apparently, I'm just not a very interesting person. But, anyway - there you are. Questions are accepted? There won't be a quiz later, I promise.

Interview Meme

Seriously, I swear I'll post something substantial soon. Like the final chapters of that multi-part Kurama/Yusuke fic I started something like two years ago. And something original, too, just for the hell of it.

But for now: more memes! You have Blue to blame for this one.

Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!" I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your journal. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on until you die or forget to do it...whichever comes first.

I preface this by saying: I'm really not creative at all, so feel free to ask me for an interview - but I can't guarantee the quality of the questions you'll get.

But, on to the actual meme. Questions from blueutopiah

1. Will you be at Princeton in the spring so we can meet up for dinner one night? I'll make the drive down. YES. I will be here until sometime in late May, with a week off in...late March, I believe for Spring Break, when I am being lame and going home. Probably.

2. What is your favourite type of music to sing? (arias, show tunes, rock...) Hmm... I'm not particularly picky, but I will admit to really enjoying a good show tune. The Broadway performance I went out on senior year of high school really stands out in my mind as being particularly fun. Probably because it involved flimsy tops, fishnet stockings, and groping myself onstage in front of my Headmistress.

3. Narcissistic question: Which one of my stories is your favourite and why? You know, given our most recent exchange of comments, you might not expect this, and I'm not sure I did, either, but - I think I'd have to go with "Daddy". I think I like it because it's something that really stuck with me, you know? And it's something I would never have considered writing, but it's just... I don't know. Creepy and wrong and fantastic, all at the same time.

4. What is your favourite band and why? Okay, this? A totally unfair question. I listen to such a strange amalgamation of music with absolutely no preference for genre or group that I couldn't even begin to answer this. So, in lieu of actually answering, I am simply going to point out a band that is lame, but has some really entertaining lyrics and dreadfully catchy songs: Newsboys.

5. When was the last time you cried? I'm going to assume - regardless of what you actually meant, because I honestly can't remember the most recent time I cried - that you mean really cried, like, for a good reason. Which would make it...sometime in mid-December, when I went home for Christmas. And, assuming you're going to want details, it was over the fact that I really have no idea if I'm going to be able to do what I want to do with my life - but I have contingency plans for that situation, so it'll all be okay. I hope.

That Strange and Subtle Magic of Birthdays (Yusuke/Kurama, PG-13, 7/11)

Title: That Strange and Subtle Magic of Birthdays, Part 7 of 11.
Fandom: Yu Yu Hakusho
Pairing: Yusuke/Kurama
Rating: PG-13 for some racy imagery.
A/N: A multi-part, sort-of-AU fic inspired by a number of different sources, but most notably by the short story "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye". And, yes, I will actually finish this. Expect another part shortly after this update, to make up for my utter fail in posting, and the incredible brevity of this chapter.

( With a frustrated sigh, Yusuke rolls onto his side. )

That Strange and Subtle Magic of Birthdays (Yusuke/Kurama, PG-13, 8/11)

Title: That Strange and Subtle Magic of Birthdays
Fandom: Yu Yu Hakusho
Pairing: Yusuke/Kurama
Rating: PG-13, for allusions to sex, and the mentioning of a harem.
A/N: A multi-part, sort-of-AU fic inspired by a number of sources, most notably the short story "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye". See? Didn't I promise another chapter?

( “Once upon a time – for that is how all such stories must begin – there existed a small desert kingdom. )

I'm a little iffy about this chapter, so comments and criticisms would be lovely.
