Tag Game: answer 21 questions and tag 21 people you want to get to know better.  Thank you, @acreasy1, for tagging me. :D 

Nicknames: Fleur

Zodiac sign: technically Aries, but I was born prematurely, so what does that mean? :p

Height: 5′3″

Hogwarts house: Huffleclaw/Ravenpuff, and you can’t make me choose one or the other. ( @deathlyfandoms tried to type me in a more involved HP typing system, with primary and secondary, but I don’t remember what she came up with - Grace??)

The last thing i googled: "jodie whittaker asset” because I couldn’t remember the exact name of the show...Google told me it was The Assets.

Favorite musicians: I’ve not been keeping up with new music the past few years, but faves include Radiohead (always), Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Arcade Fire (older more than newer), Portishead, Joy Division, Neko Case, The Smiths, The Cure, Conor Oberst....I like the new indie stuff that I hear but am not super familiar with, and I also love super old timey folk/americana type stuff.

Song stuck in your head: None at the moment, thankfully! :p

Following: 102!  I JUST surpassed 100 for the first time ever, haha.

Followers: 792!  I’ve been hovering around 790 for the past several months I think...my KE spam has lost me a ton of followers, but I’ve also gained some new ones, so *shrug emoji*.

Do you get asks: Once in a while, but not often.  I’ve gotten a few anons ask me things about KE, which just blows my mind....I am not someone that people ask things!  Does this mean I’ve made it??  ;)

Amount of sleep: 8-9 hours?  Hard to say, because I rarely sleep very soundly.

Lucky number: I don’t think I have one, but I am fond of 9.  :D

What you’re wearing: Comfy old jeans and a comfy t-shirt. 

Dream job: Curator at a European history museum/historic site.

Dream trip: I think @asthewheelwills and I have a plan to visit libraries and museums in the UK and Argentina?  And there’s that backpacking trip through Europe that @deathlyfandoms and @mercwithamouth and a couple others and I came up with ages ago.  And it’s fated that @chiaroscuroverse and I are gonna meet CE someday, so...I better get busy. :p

Instruments: I played the flute from 5th grade up through college.  I’ve forgotten a lot of it but would like to get back to it someday.  The problem is that I hate playing by myself and I HATE trying out, so it would have to be a super relaxed concert band setting or something.

Languages: Native English speaker, formerly nearly fluent in Spanish, but I’ve lost a lot since school (which makes me really sad if I think about it too hard), and formerly passable in French, but I’ve lost even more of that.  Sigh.  

Favorite songs: This is too overwhelming of a question, so I’m gonna narrow it down to a few favorites from Radiohead and Jeff Buckley.  Also, of late, the entire KE soundtrack. :D  Paranoid Android, All I Need, Let Down, Lilac Wine, Hallelujah, Lover, You Should’ve Come Over

Random fact: I’ve had glasses since I was two years old (minus a stint during my junior year of high school when I had contacts, which did not last).

Aesthetic: Cozy fall sweaters and thunderstorms and tea and knitting mixed with art deco and art nouveau.

18. What was the first movie or show that made you cry?

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993) destroyed me when I was little. The part when Shadow can’t climb out of that hole and then when he shows up at the end. Once the movie ended I went downstairs still sobbing and my parents thought something terrible had actually happened. It didn’t help that I couldn’t speak..all that would come out was a stuttering ‘Sh sh sh a a a d ooo www’. I went back upstairs and immediately watched it again.

21. Talk about a specific nightmare that a movie or show gave you

I don’t remember a specific nightmare caused by a show or movie. Ghosts, creepy children, and dolls scare me though. Any dream involving those are a nightmare. Scenes from Cat’s Eye (1985) always stuck with me and freaked me out in dreams too. Anybody else remember Cat’s Eye and this creepy mofo?

Here you go! It’s a bit messy, hope you don’t mind <3

*too stubborn. Ugh. Sorry.

Thanks for trying Hon.  I did have a nice person able to read the ship name and race.  I’m trying to determine if someone on this list is my great grandfather.  It’s sort of a flip a coin thing.  He could be.  My great grandpa told a census taker in 1930 he arrived in the US in 1903.  The name on this list is a variation of the name he gave the census taker.  The country of origin is not the same but it’s in the same area of the world.  The date of birth is off from what’s on some things I have but it’s really close.

One of the things I’ve learned is that people who immigrated from the Czech/Hungarian region during this time weren’t concerned with dates or spellings and didn’t really want to reveal much.  I understand they were typically suspicious and secretive.
