sharksinspace asked: diazomethane, sarin

Diazomethane - If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

I would want to learn French for the fucking language exam in January ugh fml.  Does ‘anything’ mean ‘things which humans are actually capable of learning without magic’?  Because, like, learning to waterbend would be pretty rad.  Barring that, I suppose it’d be nice to know how to fix computers, or do code of various kinds.

Sarin - What annoys you the most?

So many things in the world annoy me that it’s hard to pick a champion.  At the moment the fact that I’m still doing coursework is pretty annoying to me. Just one more semester of this nonsense.  I can’t wait until I’m done and can just be researching and teaching.

sarahsmodernlife asked: Nitromethane! (Or would the punctuation be ?)

Nitromethane - what are your phobias?

I don’t have any phobias TECHNICALLY because I’m not overwhelmingly, dysfunctionally afraid of anything.  That being said, I’m pretty sure the meme just means “what are you afraid of” in which case:

1. Heights - To the degree where I sometimes act a bit silly in tall buildings with windows, on bridges, at the tops of staircases, etc.  Hilariously, heights are one of the few things in the universe that my scaredy-cat of a girlfriend ISN’T afraid of, so she can mock me with impunity for being ridiculous about them.  It also means that scenes like the one from Mission Impossible 4 (on the outside of the skyscraper) are more horrifying to me than like, the content of any horror movie ever.

2. Whales - It’s a long story. Well, not really.  Who wouldn’t be afraid of giant monsters lurking out of sight beneath the surface of the dark water, that could crush or swallow (yes I do know they don’t really do that) a boat/person?  Basically this image is a pretty accurate representation of several nightmares of mine.

3. Paralysis - Not physical, really, though that’s an element of it.  It’s like being afraid of being so afraid of something that I cannot remove myself from whatever situation is causing the fear in the first place.  Usually appears alongside one of the first two. It’s very meta as fears go.

regonym asked: Tag, you're it! The rules are to state 5 random facts about yourself. Then go to ten favorite blogs and tell them they are it!

Oh no, I am supposed to be doing homework, what will I do.  Not gonna pass it on, though, because I’m a rebel and I make up my own rules.

1. I love all things audio. I pretty much constantly listen to music or audiobooks. I do most of my ‘reading’ for grad school by audiobook and when those aren’t available, if possible I use PDFs, an OCR program, and my laptop’s automatic robot-voice to read aloud instead. Sometimes my girlfriend reads me bed-time stories over skype.

2. I love mindless domestic tasks like cleaning and organizing and arranging and decorating and cooking, to a degree that seems odd to some people.

3. I love driving.  I do not love the drivers in Virginia.

4. I have a pet hedgehog named Captain Mike Yates, who is an adorable little terror.

5. I take my tea with skim milk and fake sugar. Blackberry sage is my favourite, followed by Lady Grey.

felhound asked: chariot, devil, judgement

Chariot: What do you feel most strongly about?

I tend to feel strongly about things.  I get the joking “tell us how you really feel” reply a lot, but it doesn’t bother me because that is, to my mind, the most fatuous criticism possible.  Oh no, how dare I have a passionate opinion and express it openly, sorry for inconveniencing you!  So I guess you could say that is a thing I feel strongly about - that people should be allowed to feel things as much as they feel them, whether it is a lot or not very much at all.  I don’t think it’s something I feel MOST strongly about?  That’s a trickier matter, indeed.  There are overarching trends but it varies from day to day.  Today I feel most strong that, as I said to a friend earlier, “Samuel Beckett is an annoying navel-gazing boring fuckwit and everything bad that people think of in regards to theatre and literature is basically embodied by his self-obsessed sorry ass”.

Devil: What’s your worst vice/weakness?

So hard to choose, I have an extensive collection.  I can really be startlingly hedonistic in my own rather peculiar way.  In terms of weaknesses… inertia and indecision, a certain indifference towards causes and noble efforts and all that sort of thing.  Lack of impulse control.

Judgement: Do you see yourself as a forgiving person?

I try to be.  When people deserve it, that is.  Then again, I don’t feel like people really cross me enough for me to need to forgive them.  Maybe I don’t have enough data collected to answer this particular question accurately.

regonym asked: Luffy or Ned? >:3

AUGH THAT IS CRUEL.  Gotta go with Ned though.  Much as I love Luffy, I am more fond of Ned’s insecurity and numerous neuroses, in the end.

felhound asked: 5, 20, 25, 12

5. Chocolate or Vanilla?

Neither?  No preference.  I prefer fruity/sour.

I am terrible at dancing.  Sometimes I car-dance and headbob but that’s about the extent of it.  I am clumsy how do I limbs.

20. What is your favourite flavor of gum?

Shit is delicious as fuck.

25. Do you like barbeque?

What is there not to like about it?  Fire, and meat, and sauces?  Hell yes. My dad always barbequed lots in the summer when I was a kid so there are also ~fond, cliche American memories~.

wonderfulnonsense asked: ∞!

she stroked his pretty skin again
and kissed and held him tight,
instead of saying thanks,
the snake gave her a vicious bite.

take me in tender woman
take me in for heaven’s sake
take me in tender woman
sighed the snake

“I saved you!” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me but why?”
“You know your bite is poisonous
And now I’m gonna die.”

“Oh shut up, silly woman.”
said the reptile with a grin.
“You knew darn well I was a snake before you took me in.”

shivaree - the snake

felhound asked: ∞!

Are you a breather
Mail receiver?
If you could see right through us
Through our clothes and through our pores
If you could see right through us
You’re gonna run into your homes and lock your doors

andrew bird - fatal shore

(fun story: I had to skip like three chapters of various audiobooks to get to a legit song sob sob even my ipod has been overrun with schoolwork)
