I know very little about most of the people on my friends list. Some
people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this
opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing
at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's
Thingy ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's
friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.)
Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In
return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an
answer*.

Date: 2013-01-25 06:48 am (UTC)My question for you: How is your health these days?
no subject
Date: 2013-01-26 12:04 am (UTC)Ask the 6-month checkup after my heart attack, the doctor said I had regained pretty much all of the muscle function in the affected area, and I have been feeling fine since.
While I was a fan of all the Star Trek series, I never fangirled anyone until SPN.

Date: 2013-01-25 08:28 am (UTC)A question for you - besides Supernatural, does (or has) anything else outside the real world fire you us like our boys do?
no subject
Date: 2013-01-26 12:07 am (UTC)I have another question for you--where do you live? I get the impression you don't live in the US but I don't know why I think that.

no subject
Date: 2013-01-26 12:14 am (UTC)Gulty pleasures? Well, there's always chocolate :) But really, it's reading. Before I discovered fanfic I was a bookaholic with the inability to ever stop during a novel--always had to finish, regardless of how late it was. Still am that way, actually, I never stop partway through a fic. Which is why I am often going to bed at 1 am...
no subject
Date: 2013-01-26 08:06 am (UTC)Yes, I do. Not in Warsaw though. But still, it's nice to hear that it turned out to be a happy place for your daughter.

Oh, I know the feeling! And the zombie feeling that hits the very next day. Actually, I'm suffering from a bookish hangover right now *slurps coffee* Which, since today's Saturday, I don't mind in the slightest :)

Date: 2013-01-26 04:31 pm (UTC)And I have to say, you got me really curious about the fic.

no subject
Date: 2013-01-27 12:50 am (UTC)Probably won't be going to Germany in 2013 because all of my son-in-law's family is coming here in August to see the US for the first time!

Date: 2013-01-27 12:53 am (UTC)I have 3 daughters, 30, 25, and 23. The oldest is in labor as I am typing this (in Nashville), the middle one is is Germany with my 10 month old granddaughter, and the youngest, also in Nashville, will be getting married in October. I am happy with the men my daughters have chosen and consider them my kids too!

Date: 2013-01-26 03:43 pm (UTC)Question: What is your non-fandom creative outlet?
no subject
Date: 2013-01-27 12:59 am (UTC)When my kids were at home I loved to sew for them...I would make dresses of different styles but the same fabric so they would be coordinated for the holidays :) Now, not so much...although since I will have 2 granddaughters, and I still have little girl patterns and a lot of fabric, I might just get back to it. If I can tear myself away from SPN fandom long enough...
Cubs fan household? Do/did you live in Chicago?
no subject
Date: 2013-01-27 01:07 am (UTC)Exactly! Plus, I don't think i have to agree with someone to be their friend.Maybe that comes with growing up in a Cubs household and turning out as a Cardinals fan?
I live in St.Louis now. But I grew up in Galesburg, IL--west central Illinois, just west of Peoria. And some of my dad's family is in the Chicago area (Naperville, Aurora) so he spent time there as a kid and so did we when we were growing up.
no subject
Date: 2013-01-26 07:29 pm (UTC)I have hazel eyes (similar colour to Sam)
I have a tattoo of a rabbit on my bottom.
I went prematurely grey in my 20s/30s so am constantly grateful for hair dye!
I work in HR, and in my spare time I work as an animal portrait artist.
And a Q. for you is If you could be queen for a day, what would be your first command?
no subject
Date: 2013-01-27 01:02 am (UTC)If I could be queen for a day...I guess that depends on just how much power I would have. My first thought is to order everyone to be nice to each other for a day. But if I just had authority over a little kingdom, then I would use my connections to get invited to the SPN set for a day :)
no subject
Date: 2013-02-01 01:46 pm (UTC)So, that wasn't actually the fact about me. It was that I make bronze sculpture – both my own, when I have time, and other artists' at the foundry where I've worked off-and-on when I'm around. I love sculpture, it's my favourite of all visual artforms, and I hate that you're not allowed to touch it at galleries. I mean, I get it, but still.
I had no idea you're from Chicago! So my question is, what is something you love doing in the city, or a place you love going?
no subject
Date: 2013-03-02 08:28 am (UTC)Regrettably I just take the city as a given, a backdrop against what 'mI doing. I am always a little bit proud of how beautiful the Chicago skyline is, though, when I come upon it as I'm zooming down the expressway...
My favorite place to go is to a tiny storefront theater, right next to the L tracks, that seats about 60 people and has original plays based on whatever book strikes the fancy of those who run the theater. I've been going there for 23 years, and have never been disappointed in the creativity of their adaptations! It's called "Lifeline Theater."
Where do you live?
no subject
Date: 2013-03-02 10:24 am (UTC)That sounds really interesting, I'll have to check it out when I'm back in town. Right now I'm home in Australia for the foreseeable short term, I'm working on coming back though. I've lived a few places in Chicago, but I'd say the area of Lakeview is what I consider my home base.
no subject
Date: 2013-02-28 02:54 am (UTC)Question: Can you point to a particular episode or story that made you fall in love with the fandom?
no subject
Date: 2013-03-02 08:33 am (UTC)Now I would say I am more a fan of Jensen and Jared than of the show at times, because the genuine niceness and down-to-earth attitude of these two ridiculously good-looking young men just needs to be supported, to show that nice guys can indeed finish first!

Date: 2013-03-02 08:43 am (UTC)And the second thing I really like about myself is how, at this point in my life, I really can accept other people with their mix of great parts and flaws and not feel the need to be dissatisfied that they are not perfect. I feel like the ability to just accept others where they are is the greatest thing I've ever learned and wish there was a way to give that gift to everyone!
