Hey, New Tag!

I know that setting my local Centrelink building on fire wouldn't be very helpful, but it's still a temptation. I'll have to set something else on fire instead.

At any rate, a meme! Stolen from squeemu! Everybody dance!

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we don't necessarily know as much about each other as we'd like, particularly about how we live our daily lives. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

Skipping classes:
No! Why would I do that? How am I supposed to know what I'm learning if I skip my classes? I'll really only do that if I'm sick or in a really bad mental place. Of course whether I can actually get myself to pay attention is another story; I try my best, but I am a scatterbrain.

Soda/Pop:
We just call it soft drink! And yes I do; probably rather too much of it. I've been trying to switch to orange juice and water instead, but I still get frequent cravings for sweet sweet Coke.

Living elsewhere:
I've barely even been out of Australia! I do like my country a lot (I sometimes read about the religious craziness in America and feel both deeply confused, because in Australia the Religious Right are a tiny minority with no power, and very sad). I think I'd really have to travel a bit more before I can come to a conclusion for that, sorry!

Scary games:
Silent Hill 2, hands down, no contest. That was a game that had me almost literally crying with fear, and it's fantastic, because none of the monsters really presented a serious threat; it was all in my head. And it's not just out to scare you, either. It's a very thoughtful, tragic story. I actually cried for real when James got to talk to Mary one last time at the end. That was so simple and so sad.

I also have to award a runner-up prize to the Cradle, which is the only other level/game to provoke a physical reaction. I remember once accidentally getting the notice of one of the Puppets, haring off into a dark corner and leaning against the wall. It followed me, but I broke its line of sight, so it spent some time padding around the room looking for me - and once it was so close I could see the individual stains on its bandages. It finally left, and I breathed out, and went limp, and realized I'd been so tense I had been shaking.

And wow, I just realized I've been at my desk most of the day answering this. HELLO, I OVERSHARE, NICE TO MEET YOU. But it was fun!
