Getting to know you weirdos meme

Ganked without attribution from people on other people's f-lists

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer*.

Hi, umm I'm terrible at these kinds of questions. I've spent my childhood in the US and UK. Consequently, my spelling (which is bad anyway) periodically switches if I'm not careful.

... also I like bunnies.

Where in the World, if you had no limitations financially or otherwise, would you most like to travel to? (can be a place you've been to, or a place you want to go)

I wish I could become a sea captain or a Hollywood actor.

But I can't and it breaks my heart.

What would be your ultimate dream job, no matter how 'silly'?

I live in Malaysia and have for the past 20 years though I grew up in California. My husband thinks I'm crazy 'cause I read so much:) Have you ever lived in another country than where you do now?

I have ideas for a bunch of original fiction stories as well as ATLA fanfics. (I have name lists for 16+ stories)

What's your favorite food?

Yey! I like this. I always feel like I don't know much about people in my friend list.
I'm studying Veterinary Medicine. I have two crazy dogs, Wallace and Cooper. I'm socially awkward most of the time.

What do you do for a living? Work? Study?

I'm a freelance lawyer and translator working on my Ph.D. in law. My goal this year is to write my dissertation and the first draft of my first novel. I'm trying to work up the courage to start because I'm pretty sure I'll fail.

What books did you like when you were twelve? (Apropos of this: http://www2.citypaper.com/special/story.asp?id=16743 )

I love going to shrines in Japan to buy amulets. They sell all sorts of amulets for everything, from luck in love to staying safe in traffic to getting pregnant to having success in your exams. I always buy the amulets that say they'll make money come your way.

What's the one story (fic, original, whatever) you'd be writing right now, if there was absolutely nothing stopping you?

Is this for everyone or just people on your friends list?

I came back to this because I wasn't feeling very inspired the other day. Basic stuff about me would be...I lived on a boat last year and will do so again this coming spring, and I hope to go to grad school for Marine Policy.

But what I really want to do is write novels, and while I'm currently between jobs and school (after I finish applications), I'm trying to finish my second ever novel. (The first one I started in middle school and never finished -- it's currently in my file cabinet and not coming out anytime soon.) I'm afraid I won't actually finish it ever.

Well, I was born in the US but was raised in Mexico, right at the border. I'm fluent in Spanish and I taught myself to write in English so I could become an author. I'm also studying film since I want to be a screenwriter, director, editor, animator and novelist. Heh, I can also cook, so if you ever need some good recipes, I'm your gal! :-P
