#eclipsareon

One of my first attempts at Adobe Spark! Of course, I had to do this. 

Just got tagged by Shanzay.

This tag is to get to know the person behind the blog better. As with any tagging game there are rules:

Rule 1 - Post the rules. Rule 2 - Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 11 new ones. Rule 3 - Tag 11 people and link them.

1. If you could only eat salty or sweet food for the rest of your life, which would you pick and why?

Sweet. I have a huge sweet tooth. Plus, you can have sweet entrees (eg. sweet potatoes, which are delicious!), but you can't have salty desserts (other than caramel, and let's face it, that's only in small doses).

2. How would you react if you found a fellow fan in real life?

Luckily, this isn't a hypothetical situation! I've found fans at my high school, and it goes a bit like this:

Hyperventilate because OH MY GOD THAT PERSON LIKES SHERLOCK TOO

Open my mouth to smother them with a barrage of questions about their favourite moments/characters/whatever

Realize with horror that they might not be as into it as I am

Spend a night in fretful paranoia and social awkwardness before embarking on a cyberstalking routine to find out the length of their obsession

So far, I've found two "normal" fans and one fangirl. Guess which one I hang out the most with?

3. If you could meet any three famous people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?

Oh, this is hard...

Stephen Fry (because discussions with him would be so enlightening, I feel)

Herve This (he's basically the father of molecular gastronomy, and I would love to just discuss science and food with him!)

Benedict Cumberbatch (I'm sorry, but I had to. I mean, come on; have you seen my blog?)

4. What do you do when you’re sad?

It depends. If it's a rather trivial thing, a bit of Tumblr combined with some good fics and it's all better. If it's something really bad (the recent MIT rejection comes to mind), I walk around moping in a blanket all day, call a friend or two to rant/cry, but it's usually better within a few hours. It helps that I have awesome friends that take me out for breakfasts the day after to cheer me up

5. What are your top three favorite songs?

Oh god. The thing is, I'm not a huge music person in that I'll listen to virtually anything without caring much one way or the other. But at the moment...

Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man

Wicked (musical) - For Good

30 Seconds to Mars - This is War

6. If you could be a fictional character, who would you be?

Oh, I don't know, I'd love to be Lily Evans, I think. 

7. Who would you say are your top five favorite fictional characters?

Sherlock Holmes (BBC version)

Molly Hooper (Sherlock)

Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory -- incidentally, I have a Physics teacher who's like a cross between Sheldon Cooper and Bill Nye. He's legitimately the best teacher ever)

Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother)

Douglas Richardson (Cabin Pressure)

8. If you could spend a day as anyone in the world, who would it be and why?

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for the luxurious, jet-setting lifestyle. So a successful businesswoman who is currently on vacation...? XD

9. If you were to diagnosed with a disorder of some sort, what do you think it would be?

Asperger's, probably. Mind you, I already have hypothyroidism and thalassemia minor, but I don't think that's what you're looking for, is it?

10. Are there any people in real life from Tumblr? Who are they?

(This question confuses me. I'm assuming you're asking if I have anyone from real life as a Tumblr friend?) madness42 and eclipsareon (the latter has a tumblr just so that she can stalk me more effectively. She's also probably the one I'm referring to if I talk about a friend who's encouraging me to write fic/play Yellow Car/do anything fannish in real life).

11. What makes you happy?

Food. And talking. God, I talk a lot.

---

Okay, my questions for people are:

What's your favourite thing about yourself?

Favourite food?

Awkwardest moment?

If you could meet any three famous people, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Angst or fluff?

Favourite store?

One thing you like about Canadians (hush, of course I have to put that in there :P)

If you could use a time machine for one trip only, where/when would you go?

Top 5 fics!

Favourite qualities in fic? This can be a certain kink/plot point, or just styles of writing

What's something you think everyone should hear more often?

And the people I'm tagging are... (oh god, this is hard to pick):

My friend: Ooh, you should write more Artemis Fowl and Sherlock crossovers! Fowl!lock is awesome!

Me: But then I feel guilty for cheating on Cabinlock...

My friend: ...

Yes (unless it's blue cheese).

Depends if they're trying to seriously maim and/or kill me.

Really? Of course you would...

What voice I read your posts in:

I don't know, because you don't post anything. *cough cough* But it would probably be weird if I didn't say your voice, right? 

What I think of your avatar:

(And I know you want to say something about my choice of GIFs, so shut up now :P)

What I get from your URL:

*scrolls back through texts*

"An astronomical toy used to show phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses" 

I sound so smart when I say that :P

Something I really like in your posts:

YOU HAVE NO POSTS.

But I like the Cabin Pressure,and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy posts you'll make... hint hint. And the Sherlock posts you'll obviously make once you watch it... hint hint.

Something I like not so much:
