ecceI started this journal in 2009, during the great LiveJournal Migration, but never kept it up. It looks like I probably should begin, though, as DreamWidth gets more and more popular.
I did this meme when I first started the journal (in a now locked entry), and thought I would repost it to see how things have changed.
I found this meme, and thought I'd post it here, since I haven't done any introductions. If you want, please copy this and put it in a comment or in your own journal, so I can learn more about you, too!
Name: Michelle
Were you named after anyone? My great-grandmother.
What is your favorite lunchmeat? Chicken.
What is your most embarrassing CD? I've learned not to be embarresed by any music that I own, because music is beautiful no matter what it is, as long as you love it.
If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you? I'd like to think so. I'm fairly easy-going, although I admit that I have my less-than-stellar qualities.
Where is your second home? Antarctica, these days.
Do you use sarcasm a lot? Goodness no! (that was sarcasm; unfortunately, it doesn't come through well in text, so I try to avoid using it online if I can help it. But I am, and likely always will be, a very sarcastic person by nature.)
Favorite movies? Shawshank Redemption, Toy Story (all three), Sherlock Holmes (the new one), among many others.
What are your nicknames? I don't have any.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Chocolate in any form, as long as it doesn't have nuts or fruit in it.
What is your least favorite thing about yourself? My knees, because they're so messed up that my doctor says my x-rays look like a 50 year old's.
What color pants are you wearing? Blue jeans.
What are you listening to right now? the heater running in the library.
Last thing you ate? Brunch: a cheese omelet, two donut holes, and bacon.
Hair Color? Brown
Eye Color? Equally brown.
Last Movie You Watched? Part of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today. Last full movie was TRON (the old one) two weeks ago.
Summer Or Winter? It's always winter here, even when it's summer. Like something out of Narnia... always winter but never Christmas (except we did get Christmas!)
Living Arrangements? Dorm 208, third floor, McMurdo Station, Antarctica. At least I get my own room, and my suitemate is awesome!
What Book(s) Are You Reading? I'm about to start Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants.
Rolling Stones or Beatles? Depends on the song.
What’s the furthest you’ve been from home? In 2009, I typed the following for this answer: The Middle East. Someday I want to go exactly halfway around the world. Or to Antarctica. I would love to go to Antarctica. I'm thrilled to say that I've now been there, and I'm here now. Five months into a one-year work contract in Antarctica, at both the South Pole Station and McMurdo Station, and loving it!
