I honestly can't even remember.
First of all, can I just tell you that I looked in my email and found a Mylar fic exchange assignment. I mean, I remember ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aurilly leaving me a comment about it, and I remember checking the link and looking at it like "Cool beans, as soon as I think of some prompts I think I'll try this" because I want to try and stretch my fic-writing legs a little bit. And then I remember seeing an update (via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mylar_fic, I think) about the assignments being late, and I was like "Hot dog, I missed the deadline!"
But dude. There's an assignment in my inbox. This means I must have signed up - I just have no memory whatsoever of doing so. I must have signed up in my sleep, or while drunk, or while totally kinked out or something. I don't even know what I possibly could have prompted. I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
So if you got me, basically, you can totally screw around with the prompts and be like "no you totally wanted these giraffes in here, and mpreg, too," because I BLACKED OUT SIGNING UP FOR A FICATHON.
Well then. Moving on. Interview meme!
mrstater asked me:
1. How's your eyesight?
Regretfully, it's perfect. As a kid I always wanted glasses, so I'd look smart. As it was all my classmates called me "Encyclopedia Bridgittanica" anyway.
2. White or wheat?
Wheat, for sure. I had wheat bread for my sandwich today! Nom nom nom.
3. Do you have any weird talents?
I can kiss both my elbows. Try it. I bet most of you can't. I can also fit my entire fist in my mouth, which was a talent my college roommates banned me from demonstrating ever, claiming that it got me too much unwanted attention from the opposite sex.
4. What fictional character do you wish you could be?
This one's a toughie, because there's several. I do remember for the longest time growing up that I wanted to be the Greek goddess Artemis. I thought I could be just like her. I even took up archery for a while to emulate her before I dry-fired my bow indoors and really did a number on myself and my kitchen. Don't do that. It's bad.
5. You've just won a $1000 shopping spree to one store. Where do you blow it?
To one store? Mmmm. If it I had to spend it all at once, I'd like to go to Apple to get fancy-schmancy gadgets for my computer. If I could spread it out over several trips, I'd be practical and ask for it to be the grocery store.
So if you want me to interview you, leave a comment saying "Interview me, biyatch" and I'll shoot some questions your way; you just have to repost the questions and answers to your own journal, 'kay?
ladyanne525 wants to know:
1. Pandas or polar bears?
Pandas, but only because polar bears are higher than human beings on the food chain.
2. What's your favorite food?
Right now, I'm really diggin' chocolate-covered pretzels. I'll probably be sick of them in an hour and have a new favorite food by then.
3. Are you a good swimmer?
Not really. I only like to swim in the ocean, which isn't so much swimming as fighting the current and trying not to drown. When I put it that way, I question why that appeals to me more than a swimming pool, but whatevs.
4. Who is your ultimate dream man?
Jose Reyes!
5. Other than Heroes, what's your favorite TV show?
The only show that's on television right now that I make an effort to watch (besides Heroes) is The Office, but sometimes I forget when it's Thursdays. I really enjoy watching my Veronica Mars and Firefly DVDs, though.

2) Paulaner Hefeweizen. No contest. It's just so delicious.
3) Because I desperately want to be French. I am the worst American ever and don't really love it here. LJ for me is all about escapism, and having it all in French just adds icing on the cake. It's a pain in the ass everytime I change layouts, though, because it takes a LOT of extra fiddling and special stuff to get it THIS French (the 'default French' option still keeps half of the stuff in English).
4) The Mating Season, by PG Wodehouse. It was a reread.
5) Black tights. It's cold!
PS- I've been self-conscious about posting (random) so I'll just leave it here. :)
