Questionnaire:

 

Which show(s)/movie(s) you would like as the theme for your package?

I have lots of fandoms so I’ll try to pick a top 5. Doctor Who, Firefly, Mass Effect, Harry Potter, and Castle...ok I lied I can’t do 5, but 6 is more doable so I’ll add Once Upon a Time. They are ranked...kind of. I can’t even do 6 because I FORGOT Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog!!!! I can’t believe I did that. I love ALL THE THINGS, and collect things from different fandoms, so no pressure from a specific fandom.

 

1. I would say name a mixture of five favorite fandoms (movies/television shows) that you would like. The package can be a mixture of different fandoms.

Rank in priority of what fandom you’d like the most though.

2. Favorite characters? This is sooo difficult. I’ll do one or two from each fandom, River Song, Donna Noble, Inara Serra, Zoe Washburn, Malcom Reynolds (see can’t even keep it to 2 per fandom), my paragon femShep (Red hair in a bun, pale skin, young), Garrus Vakarian, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Richard Castle, Kate Beckett, Rumplestiltskin, Regina, Dr. Horrible, Penny and Captain Hammer.

3. Least favorite characters?

I don’t know if I really have least favourite characters...I suppose Mickey from New Who annoyed me at first, Ron Weasley gets annoying sometimes but really I don’t hate anyone in my fandoms, unless it is a love to hate character (like Regina or Captain Hammer)

4. Favorite scent notes? Vanilla, leather, musks, resins, tobacco, lavender, lemon, tea, coconut, patchouli, caramel in Red Lantern.

5. Least favorite scent notes? Jasmine, Honey, whatever note that smells awful on me in Tamora (it might be the peach but that scent is awful on me) and heady florals.

6. Favorite snack item? That’s really hard to say...either popcorn or anything with peanut butter.

(Chocolate may melt in the mail during summer months, so that might not be the best thing to send)

7. Least favorite snack item? Not sure, I don’t really hate any snack food.

8. Any allergies? Pineapple and Blue Cheese – odd combination I know, but not good.

9. Favorite flavors? Peanut Butter!!!!!! Caramel, chocolate, garlic, salt (in general). But really my favourite flavours are things that strike a contrast in combination like Chicago popcorn (salty and sweet) or something sweet and spicy.

10. Hated flavors? Black Liquorice, Chocolate and mint together, durian, flower flavoured things.

11. Favorite colors? Blues, purples, greens, jewel tones mostly, but I do love a good orange as well. I pretty much like ALL THE COLOURS!

12. Least favorite colors? I suppose the one thing is pastels – I’m too pale for that.

13. Jewelry preferences? Necklaces (at least 18” but usually 20”or longer), rings – I love rings, I’m usually a size 5.5 -7 (depending on the finger and the weather)

14. Wearable item preferences – I love jewellery, socks, and nerdy accessories. Although I waiting (very impatiently I might add) for Harry Potter leggings from Black Milk so don’t mind bigger pieces. I love knitted things in general and sweaters...really if it’s nerdy I’ll probably wear it 

15. T-Shirt size – err...Medium? Bust – 37.5, Waist 32, hips 44. Usually the biggest problem I have with t-shirts is that they can be too tight in the hips if they fit properly in the rest of the torso, but I wear t-shirts to bed all the time, and that’s what happens with any shirt I don’t wear out so no worries about fit 

16. Wildcard ideas? I may have said this in my SW questionnaire so feel free to ignore but I really want knitted knee high TARDIS socks for my rainboots, no worries about doing this, but that might be the ideal piece.

 

 

Anything else you want your swapper to know?

I already have a Jayne Cobb hat (mom made it for last Christmas) and I got the coolest Legend of Zelda Armwarmers and bag from the Hearts Gift Swap. I also do not have the Dr. Horrible DVD.

 

Thread Stuff:

 

card games okay?

Yup!

 

puzzles?

I don't have room for true puzzles (like put the picture together puzzle) but love being challenged.

 

squirt guns?

No thanks.

 

brain teaser games?

Yes!

 

Uno or Phase 10, okay?

For sure.

 

Other toy/game loves?

Nothing really, except my love of video games.

 

Since we're asking questions I have one! - as a wildcard (or wearable?), what about a case for one's smartphone/device?

I'd be okay with one, but it would have to be pretty solid and protecty as I'm a terrible klutz. I have a iphone 4s.

 

I have amassed a ton of stuff from the various years I've spent at SDCC. Would anyone like to receive swag from the con from their fandoms? It's anything from postcards to buttons to random stuff (pretty sure I have a Community beach ball somewhere).

 

OMG - It's my dream to make it to SDCC one day so anything from there would be a-ok with me

 

I've got lots of stuff from some of my fandoms. I'll list what I have here for convienience (and in my blog)

 

Doctor Who: I've got all the new Who seasons on itunes and I can get a fair bit of classic on Netflix. I've got a TARDIS mug and Dalek/TARDIS set of salt and pepper shakers.

 

Firefly: I've got all the comics and the Jayne hat that I mentioned in the questionairre. I've watched the series and Serenity on Netflix a bunch of times, but don't actually own either.

 

Mass Effect: Have all three games for PS3, but that's it.

 

Castle: Seen all the episodes, but don't have anything Castle specific.

 

Harry Potter: Have all the books and movies as well as a Ravenclaw scarf.

 

Once Upon a Time: Seen it, but again don't have anything although I want the book (Henry's)

 

Dr. Horrible: Seen it, have the soundtrack but nothing else.

Colouring books?

SURE!

 

Do you actually like tea, should I be interested in approaching our dear Miss Venneh?

I love tea. I actually just bought some group tea from Venneh (I got River, Inara, TARDIS, Door and my own Doctor/River blend). I'd be fine with more tea, I jsut need to make sure to stay away from anything with pineapple.

 

Fanfic?

For sure - I love fanfic. Right now I'm on a pretty big Doctor/River kick, but I also like Garrus/FemShep, Castle/Beckett. If if were to be smutty I also wouldn't say no

 

If you were a super hero what would superpowers be?

I'd have the ability to be invisible (not to do bad things, but to avoid people) and to teleport so I could get where I need to go quickly.

 

What are your hobbies?

I run, read and like to sew, but I don't have any huge hobbies, unless you count being on the internet and working a lot.

 

Any craft supplies you need or want?

Nothing that is necessary, but I wouldn't turn away nerdy fabric.

 

Please tell expand why you love your favorite character(s) - (please be prepared for a novel below)

River Song - I love that she's so fiesty and sexy. She just demands attention in any room. She's someone who is confident in herself and that's something I aspire to be. It doesn't help that there is some spectactular word play/innuendo that makes me smile everytime. Plus her hair!!! Seriously if I could get my hair to curl and look that gorgeous I would anytime.

 

Donna Noble - For someone with such low self esteem and a mother that reminds me of my own sometimes she is a fantastic person. I love that she cares about all the people (and aliens) that she meets and truly gets the Doctor to see some light and helps him to make the right decisions. She was the most important person in the world and for her it wasn't about being powerful, but helping fix wrongs. She reminds me a little of me, except her brash and yelling nature makes me smile especially with her non-romantic relationship with the Doctor. Donna/Doctor might be my BROTP.

 

Inara Serra - She's regal, calm, beautiful and can kick some serious ass as well. I love that as a companion she doesn't take shit from anyone (except Mal, but we all know there was something there that would have been developed in further seasons). Her intelligence and level headed nature balanced the group and truly helped make them a family.

 

Zoe Washburn - Zoe has to be one of my favourite female characters because she is super strong and has many stereotypical masculine traits, but doesn't sacrifice any femininity because she genuinely seems to enjoy having feminine moments. Her relationship with Wash was perfect and it was nice to see an established relationship on television that wasn't truly challenged from outsiders.

 

Malcom Reynolds - The perfect chaotic good. He presents as this tough guy who only cares about himself, but he truly cares for his family on the ship and in ultimately doing the right thing. Also some of his lines were fantastic (I swear by this pretty floral bonnet I will end you) and I might have the biggest crush on Nathan Fillion so that doesn't help my love of Mal.

 

Rebecca Shepard (Mass Effect) - I'll be completely honest, my Shepard is modelled after me and the decisions that I would make. My Shepard is young, pale, blue-eyed, refusing to opt for a short cut her long copper hair is usually in a bun and has a touch of freckles. Even though she is a soldier (I play as an adept mostly or a vanguard) she always tries to avoid bloodshed. She can kick some serious ass and like Zoe presents some masculine qualities, but underneath it all is rather feminine. She's the kind of woman to wear beautiful undergarments underneath her armour so that she still feels pretty.She likes to be complimented and truly loved Kaidan. She flirted her way through Mass Effect 2 with Jacob, Thane and Garrus (well with everyone actually) but was still waiting for Kaidan to come back. Then he broke her heart. Even though he eventually 'apologized' the damage was done. Kaidan was the first person she trusted and let get behind her armour to see the real, less confident and slightly fragile Shepard. He broke that trust by not even listening to her and not trusting her enough even though she completely trusted him. It really seems that he didn't like not being the traditional male in their relationship and needed an excuse to leave. After Kaidan the strong friendship and flirting between Shepard and Garrus escalated. Shepard realized that what she has with Garrus is what love truly should be. They always had each others' backs and would always be there when the other needed it. When Kaidan came back and tried to win Shepard back there was no chance that she would ever do so. They eventually mended their friendship, but Shepard stuck with Garrus. Post destroy ending (I pick destroy nearly every time as it's the only one that makes sense with the story, but that's another story) when they find a dying Shepard, Garrus stays at her bedside until she leaves the hospital. I need to believe that's true because I actually cried at their interaction at the end of ME3 because it was so caring but so sad to see such a strong relationship going into a situation where they were sure they weren't going to make it out alive. They loved each other so much, but knew that they needed to save the galaxy even if they couldn't be together.

 

Garrus Vakarian - See above for relationship with Shepard. But Garrus is sarcastic and witty which endears him to me. His dialogue is always enjoyable and the amount that he cares for Shepard is heartening. Also seeing him grow from the first game to the end of the 3rd he goes from CSec and hating the rules forced upon him and doing things his own way (even if it isn't the morally right choice) to at least thinking about his actions and the repercussions that might come about.

 

Hermione Granger - I answered this one in my switch witch questionnaire. I love Hermione because I identify with her.

 

Luna Lovegood - She's an oddball who doesn't quite fit in and I often feel this way, even though I'm not quite as eccentric as Luna. She's a great friend who is always there to support others and genuinely is just a fantastic person.

 

Richard Castle - A little over confident and thinks hes the most handsome in a room, many could find Castle annoying and stuck on himself, which he kind of is, but underneath it all is a great person. He's smart, imaginative , and always willing to help others. He's a bit of a child most of the time, but that's part of his charm. He's the kind of guy that I hope I can find as he is fiercely loyal and a total nerd at the same time.

 

Kate Beckett - She sticks with my theme of kick ass female characters with femininity. She's also very funny and quick witted and with Castle they create a perfect balance.

 

Rumplestiltskin - The man is deliciously evil, but we get to see him try to be a good person. I love seeing the character development, plus Carlyle is fantastic. He's an evil character that I love to hate sometimes, but truly love to see him try to change.

 

Regina - Another evil character. I keep wanting her to stick with her resolve to do better for Henry and be a good person, but she does evil so well that selfishly I don't want her to succeed. Plus those outfits and hair in Storyland are fantastic.

 

Dr. Horrible - He's adorable and not all that evil. He just wants social change and to get the girl. Even his evil plans aren't that evil. I just love him! Plus NPH singing, what more do I need?

 

Penny - Love Felicia Day to begin with and Penny is just so sweet. I love that she's so commited to doing something to better the city.

 

Captain Hammer - More like Captain Douche. He's the evil one here, but is so cocky and womanizing that he is hysterical. Plus Nathan Fillion again, means I have to love him.

 

If you could meet any of your fictional characters, what would you say to them?

I don't know what I'd say to any of my fictional characters, except to ask River how she gets her hair to look so amazing.

 

How do you feel about mashups/crossovers?

I'm fine with them.

 

Please describe your style: living space(ie do you have wall space, do you prefer blank walls, does a given accessory need to coordinate with a given color scheme) and wearable.

Cluttered and very little room left because there are books everywhere. Plus I don't have control over much of the living space because I'm at home.

Wearable wise I'm not very consistent. I love leggings and longer tops with cardigans. I love skirts and dresses. I guess the best way to describe my style would be comfortable and quite feminine, but with a little bit of an edge (very little). I will note that my style is a little bit all over the place lately in particular because I've lost some of the weight that I gained with a knee injury so things that used to be tight are now a little oversized. I like to create balance in my wardrobe as well - ie. I'll wear leggings, but my top won't be fitted or I'll wear a bodysuit with a circle skirt. I wear a lot of black and neutrals, but keep getting myself to branch out to colours as well (like the pair of peacock leggings I'm buying because I've lost 20 lbs)

 

Hey all you geeky-types! Y'all do know about Shiro Cosmetics doncha?

I know, but haven't managed to get anything...They are so pretty, especially the lip tubes.

 

Are you OK with t-shirts (I think that was asked, but I'm a little swap-overwhelmed at the moment )? If so, and you're of the female persuasion, would you prefer t-shirts "cut" for women or are men's t-shirts okay?

I'm good with either. I mentioned stats earlier/in the blog post. I'm also fine with oversized shirts especially to pair with leggings.

 

Makeup colours?

I tend to stick with neutrals and cool colours with the exception of bronzes (which look nice on my eyes). I love blushes of all colours and lip sticks of reds, pinks and berries.

 

Bluray or DVD works for me

 

Would you rather have something practical of something decorative?

Do I have tp make a choice? I like practical yet deoractive things (like my TARDIS mug which is currently waiting for the TARDIS tea I have on my way to me) but if I had to make a choice practical, because I have such limited room.

 

Do you cosplay?

No, but I totally want to. I could be Amy or Donna I suppose with the red hair or Poison Ivy. I just have no where or no one to cos play with.

 

Do you collect action figures?

Nope.

 

Also, Pillows, yes? no?

Nerdy pillows could be very cool.

 

Though I must ask, if one of your fandoms is Doctor Who, would you like an Adipose stuffie? Or should I work on something else for the toy?

I'd totally be down for an Adipose! They are quite adorable. And I forgot to mention it, but the Daleks are my favourite who villian!
