Writing fanfic: Let's hold that kiss off a little longer. 😈

When I just want to be a supporting role?

Disappointment. Waisted potential. That's what they see.

Slow, meticulous, over-thinking, overcorrecting, careful, too careful, obsessing NEVER fucking FINISHING.

Or

Full concentration, quick, efficient, a little haphazard, definitely mistakes to correct, and get to the deadline. Finishes.

Thank you so much for the tag @geekymoviemom 💜

Here you go:

1. Am I named after someone?

Nope. Well a city I guess, so yes.

2. The last time I cried?

I don't like crying. As an adult I've learned that it isn't weak to cry and it's a good stress reliever, but I still fight it, irrationally. I read tragic things , happy sappy things or realistic angst to just get out a good cry, so it might have been while reading the epilogue of "Sins of our Fathers" by @geekymoviemom or "Upside Down Flowers" by @awkwardeverlark or Ch 16 of Outside Expectations by @katnissdoesnotfollowback

3. Do I have/want kids?

I have them, yes. 😄

4. Do I use sarcasm often?

Never. 😉

5. The first thing I notice about someone?

Usually their expression, then their mannerisms, body language. Do they have hard lines on their face, prominent smile lines, too much make up? Hands tell you a lot about someone's life as well. I like to read people and I've worked a lot of customer/public facing roles. Fascinating.

6. Eye colour?

Olive green. Pale. "Puke green with blue and gold sprinkled in." Is my son's description. 😆

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

Scary, suspense, and gore is fine if I know what I'm in for and there's an investigative element, solving a mystery. I’m not a horror fan though, I need more plot. This sounds weird but I need a more hopeful ending now that I'm a mom. People change.

8. Special talents?

I have a musical family, sang my first solo at 6yrs old and had professional vocal training from 8th-11th grade. I know enough to know I'm not an amazing singer, that I'm happy singing on occasion and don't want to be front and center. I have a passion for drawing and painting, and art, separate from my parent's talents. 😉 I received state recognition in high school for my artwork, was accepted to study at Art Institute my junior year of college and... I small talk and working with people on a professional level. (Leaves out All the fundamental flaws I have. 😏)

9. Where I was born?

United States

10. Hobbies?

Drawing, writing, reading, home-improvement projects, outdoor activities, and getting involved in my children's interests.

11. Pets?

My kids have 2 cats, Oliver and Kit.

12. Sports I play/have played?

Soccer in college, co-ed club soccer in my early 20's, skiing, ice skating and street hockey on occasion.

13. How tall am I?

157 cm

14. Favourite subject in school?

Art. and psychology.

15. Dream job?

Good question. Undecided. I'm happy and I like that life changes and I have the flexibility to change my mind. I'm at a point in my life where I want to see my husband achieve his dreams and help him get there.

Thanks again @geekymoviemom 💜. You're a great friend. This was fun!
