It's been a very long time since I actually answered one of these memes, so I'll try my hand at this and give the ネタ tag a workout.
1. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER SOMEONE?
I have my father's first name as my middle name, but my first name was chosen on the basis of it being hard to make a nickname out of.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I shed a single tear, shining like a jewel, when I read the scene where Théoden dies and Éowyn kills the Witch-King of Angmar to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
softlykarou the weekend before last.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
I block-print everything because my handwriting is illegible.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Mostly raw steak.
5. DO YOU HAVE ANY KIDS?
At the moment, no.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS W/YOU?
That depends on what person I was, doesn't it? Unless this is about whether if I were another person with the same personality, in which case...maybe.

Sometimes. I tend to be fairly serious in speech if not in writing.

They don't come off if I don't.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE STRONG?
In some ways.

Their hair.
15. RED OR PINK?
Red. Red like leaping flames, or my hair.
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF?
I had a really hard time coming up with the answer to this question, and I think the answer is my shyness. Maybe the reason I'm still so standoffish is that, in the end, I like myself that way.

My hair is the reddish-gold of copper wire, which is probably why I've never felt the urge to dye it. It's strange enough already.
25. EYE COLOR?
Light brown / hazelish. When I was born they were pitch-black and have been getting steadily lighter as I age.

So you are an actual Lovecraft character.
Date: 2016-Aug-23, Tuesday 01:25 (UTC)Re: So you are an actual Lovecraft character.
Date: 2016-Aug-23, Tuesday 03:21 (UTC)And if I could find it, I would post it.
no subject
Date: 2016-Aug-23, Tuesday 10:37 (UTC)1- I've got a family-passed-on middle name
2- cried just a few hours ago reading a pony tumblr ^^
3- I think my handwriting's ok
4- steak is good but I like mine cooked!
6- Yep. I'm fairly loyal, and don't have a lot of friends.
7- I prefer playing things absurdly strait to the point of irony, though I do occasionally do sarcasm
8- Likewise
9- On the one hand I'm somewhat interested, on the other hand I get mild vertigo, so who knows?
11- I *only* tie my shoes if they come loose on their own, normally I slide in and out ^^
12- Good answer.
13- Mint Chocolate Chip
15- Pink for me ^^ I like the feminine associations
16- I just made a post on this, basically how I don't take initiative
20- I'd be one of those 'multi color mixed up' fun ones ^^
23- Curling's pretty great. Of the recent olympic ones, I found rugby 7s surprisingly interesting.
24- That's pretty cool! Mine's just brown, with the odd white hair (my family all loses hair color like rogue from the X-men, it's pretty cool but I don't have enough for it to show yet like my sister does).
25- I'm brown-green
27- Chickenwings with just a little habernero... at the moment, it switches around fairly often.
28- I'm totally happy ending ^^
29- Jungle Book for me.
30- I'm in blue ^^
31- I used to be winter, but now I'm summer, since I like to walk outside. Honestly spring kinda beats both...
32- I'm fairly into hugs, assuming permission ^^
34- I'm totally between novels, at the moment I'm on gaming books (pathfinder) and manga (Attack on Titan).
35- Good to know! My avvie is various renditions of, well, my avatar/representative that I've had done. I don't look like this but I'd like to ^^
36- Paper Mario? Fun! I caught a late night showing of a 3rd Doctor Who episode.
37- I agree, Rain is great.
39- Japan is, likewise, the furthest I've been.
40- I'm pretty unsure what areas my talents could be called 'special.' But I'd recommend you harness your mutant static powers!
41- I'm St. Paul, Minnesota.
Some replies!
Date: 2016-Aug-23, Tuesday 14:22 (UTC)I am also a fan of this technique, though usually only with
24- That's pretty cool! Mine's just brown, with the odd white hair (my family all loses hair color like rogue from the X-men, it's pretty cool but I don't have enough for it to show yet like my sister does).
My sister and I both have red hair like our grandfather, though his hair went brown as he got older. Both of our hair seems to be getting lighter, though--my sister's strawberry-blonde now, and I'm "copper blond" going by those color names on hair dye.
Does your family's white hair cluster like Rogue too?
31- I used to be winter, but now I'm summer, since I like to walk outside. Honestly spring kinda beats both...
Given choice of all four seasons, I definitely would have picked fall. I love falling leaves, longer nights, and a chill in the air. But between those two, winter is definitely my favorite.
36- Paper Mario? Fun! I caught a late night showing of a 3rd Doctor Who episode.
It looks really neat! I thought that the Nintendo 64 had no good RPGs after being burned by Quest 64, but apparently I was wrong.

So far, the only "use" I've gotten out of them was being banished to the other side of the house to avoid interfering with the stereo set when I worked for a summer as a painter.
Re: Some replies!
Date: 2016-Aug-23, Tuesday 16:29 (UTC)My sister has a streak like Rogue, yea. My mother has a mix of dark brown and white.
