Random delurking day! (well, on my LJ at least)

aka, I was really bored and came up with random questions that I wanted to know about people. Feel free to answer wherever (but I would love to see the answers!).

1. Describe your strangest pair of socks



2. Can I see pictures of your bookshelves (or book stacks or piles or boxes)?



3. If you were a hat, what kind of hat would you want to be?



4. What's the worst song you've gotten stuck in your head before?



5. My rats: evil killers of paper bags, cute sleepy fuzzballs or embarrassingly tame yogie-drop eaters?



6. Books or food?



7. If you could live in a book, what genre would it belong to? How come?



8. Stealing from the movie Wonderful Life (also known as After Life): if you were told that you could only carry one memory with you into the afterlife, which would you choose?



9. What do you know a lot about that most people don't? Most people here should be most people, not most people in that field. I specify this because I know how badly I prevaricate when I'm asked about something that I'm good at. Or if you still feel weird, what do you know a lot about that I don't (I don't know about a lot of stuff)? Why is it cool? Tell me about it!



10. What random bit of trivia do you know?



11. And finally, the question I've always wanted to know the answer to but was too embarrassed to ask: how in the world did you find my LJ and how come you're still reading?

1. Easter socks from my sister -- pink loafer socks with white stuffed bunny heads at the heels. I have yet to find an appropriate occasion for them.

2. No, you've seen them already and I'm too lazy to upload pictures. *g*

3. One of those adorable multicolored knitted Scandanavian hats with the ear flaps and long braided ties. Because they're cute.

4. My co-worker sings all the previous night's American Idols songs every Tuesday and Wednesday. I need say no more.

5. I vote for "embarrassingly tame" with a side of "cute feet!"

6. Sadly, I vote for sustenance. Will they kick me out of fandom now?

7. Move me into Austenland stat. Although I would stipulate that I need to be at the Woodhouse class level, not the Bennett level. Mm, pretty dresses and witty banter and not having to do anything all day but bitch and embroider.

8. Being at the top of Yosemite Falls when I was 15, having hiked it kind of by accident. It was so gorgeous, and we were so exhilarated we'd done it.

9. Besides all the fandoms and comics and fantasy/scifi stuff rattling around in my brain? Maybe my mighty Googling skills, which always impress my co-workers. And lots of random factoids. But I'm not so much with the "big body of knowledge" stuff; more a generalist than a specialist. Well, except for the law as practiced in California, in which my "know more than most people" means I know more than absolutely nothing, so I don't know how much it counts.

Note: I have a degree in psychology, but see how I don't mention it? It is the stupidest degree in the world.

10. The lions in front of the New York Public library are named Patience and Fortitude. Thank you, geeky high school Knowledge Bowl team.

11. I think you friended me first; I looked over and saw Buffy and books and friended back. I'm easy. *g*
