So I did some research and had a few talks with various people, and it looks like I won't be able to go to Thailand after all :( See what happens when I panic too soon? I might consider changing the fest deadlines anyway, since the recent post at 
hp_bookof_fests tells me that there are quite a few (to put it lightly) fests running in the same period of time.
Got tagged by the lovely
gossymer to do this survey meme thingy.
a) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
b) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
1. What are some of your nicknames?
I don't really have any nicknames. Feel free to come up with some for me.
2. What do you do before bedtime?
Refresh my flist and inbox a few times, just to make sure there are no last minute posts or messages I should respond to.
3. What fandom(s) are you most into at the moment?
Idk, HP? I'm not one of those people who has a kajillion fandoms. One is enough for me.
4. What is your favorite scent?
Nail varnish, fresh wood (like... the smell when you walk into hardware stores), strawberries
5. What video games are you playing at the moment?
I've maybe played a total of three hours of video games in my entire life, but ever since I moved into my new apartment with the gamecube one of my roommates brought, I've been playing SuperMario Sunshine a lot. It's... frustrating. Because I suck, lol.
6. What do you eat the most?
I've been eating a hella lot of Red Mango and frozen food lately. Drinking way too much soda, too :(
7. Do you trust easily?
I have too much faith in humanity in the sense that I always leave my apartment unlocked because I don't think people will come in and steal anything, but other than that, I don't trust anyone, not even my closest friends. Hell, I don't even trust my family that much.
8. What was your first big fandom?
HP. It's always been my OTF.
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
- My hd_hols assignment (not unhappy -- just really stressed)
- Trying to decide how to get more involved around campus
- Worrying about my job on the newspaper and my next article. I just pitched a few more ideas to my editor, but I really don't want to write the piece. *groan*
- Currently unhappy about my 7-10 night class tonight
- RL problems
- I'm generally an unhappy person, lol
10. Do you have a good body-image?
*shrug* It's nothing special. I try not to think about it these days, because I'll only fixate on my flaws.
11. What's your favorite Holiday?
I've always hated this question, because I don't have a favourite holiday.
12. What websites do you visit most?
Facebook, LJ, Yahoo, Google (and my school gmail account). I also check Mugglenet Fan Fiction, skeyhawke, and Fanfiction.net for new reviews daily.
13. Who are currently the most important people to you?
I'm the kind of person who believes the only important person in my life should be myself, lol. I know that sounds really self-centred, but I don't mean it that way -- it's just that I've been let down by people close to me so many times that I don't see any point in valuing others to the point where they're important to me.
14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Incredibly sweet and awesome, both on LJ and in RL :D ♥
15. What’s the last song that got stuck in your head?
Metro Station - "Shake It"
16. What’s your favorite item of clothing?
The Forever 21 blue/white striped top I wore the night before Terminus.
17. What's better: to give or to receive?
Both :D
18. What would you do if you saw $100 lying on the ground?
Take it. If anyone answered otherwise, they need to get their priorities straight :P
19. What items could you not go without during the day?
Eyeliner, cell phone, keys, student ID card, and iPod.
20. What should you be doing right now?
Homework and planning my hd_hols fic.
ETA: Oh. And, um, I don't tag anyone. I'm insecure about tagging people -- don't ask; I don't even know why.

Personally, I hope the dates do change a little as I really want to participate and im doing hd_hols and yule_balls too. Of course, if you don't change the dates, I likely will anyway, I will just have to organise myself better. *shudders*
Do what ever is best for you though, it's your baby! XD
Okay, I'll definitely keep that in mind :) The thing I'm worried about is giving people too much time, if that makes sense. I know that the longer you wait, the more the enthusiasm dwindles, plus giving people over three months might breed a lot of procrastination.
Will think on it and post an announcement soon :D
Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes having a short amount of time is best, as the adrenaline of receiving a prompt keeps up for the whole writing period as you know it has to be in soon! I doubt that makes any sense :P lol

*hugs you for the hell of it* I'm a basically unhappy person also...
I'll do the meme because I haven't done one in forever!
