Lunar Mynx (probably one of the older adults playing)
I have well over a decade of RP, running games, GM/DMing etc...I love RP!
Did I say it already? I love RP! all RP all forms of RP, every type of RP with one exception...with my many years of experience I have never been able to RP a guy unless it was just an NPC. I don't know why, I mean I can RP a Dragon, a newt, a billy-goat, even a ROCK! but...well we all have limitations.
Is there something you'd like to tell whoever might be reading this?
HI! ~wibbles~
Where are you from and where do you live?
USA
What are your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?
Lunar Mynx
What books on your shelf are begging to be read?
The rest of the Anita Blake Series.....
Far to many books about my job, and work and stuff...certifications...meh.
I'm a Program Manager in a rather large company....Project Managers report to me.
How often do you doodle? What do your doodles look like?
Never, in a professional atmosphere it's looked down upon. I broke that habit years ago.
What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive?
I go read one of my many -need to be read- absolutely boring Management Certification books filled with stupid terms no one even uses in documentation or talking...but you gotta know the theory it seems. These put me to sleep in 20 mins easy.
How many days could you last in solitary confinement? How would you do it?
Not even an hour, I'm a people person.
Do you save old greeting cards and letters? Throw them away?
Throw them away after 1 year..read them twice and poof! Saves on clutter.
When making an entrance in to a party, do you make your presence known? Do you slip in and look for someone you know? Do you sneak in quietly and find a safe spot to roost?
People say I have a 'presence' about me, hiding is never an option. I usually know most of the people at the party anyway.
What is your strongest sense? If you had to give one up, which would it be?
Eye-sight.
Already lost one, I can't hear...I am deaf. I've been deaf forever, since 1yr I am told...so I have no idea what I am missing and relish in the idea that ignorance truly can be bliss.
How many times a day do you look at yourself in the mirror?
7...8?
Always after eating = tons
Always before a meeting = 3x day usually...
ok alot
What is the strangest thing you believed as a child?
That Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck were killed by my mother. I got three penny/piggy banks that looked like their heads and I thought they had killed them. I was mad for months and screamed MURDERS! for most of Xmas day. They had to call in 'The GrandParents' to come convince me that Mickey, Minnie and Donald were not dead.
Now, imagine screaming in sign language, a very upset 4yr old, and stubborn as molasses.
What is one guilty pleasure you enjoy too much to give up?
It is not a guilty pleasure, I have accepted it as part of my life. I feel no guilt what-so-ever.
Ice Cream and the more stuff on top the better!
Who performs the most random acts of kindness out of everyone you know?
Myself actually, and I encourage this behavior and require it from my children.
At least on act of true kindness a week, or the karma monster will eat you!
How often do you read the newspaper? Which paper? Which sections?
Never. The nature of my job...well news if rarely the whole truth. I'm cynical when it comes to news.
Which animals scare you most? Why?
Spider! They are firggin EVIL! Cept the lil house spiders, those...I tolerate.
Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?
Engage and resolve. Many many courses on conflict resolution.
What was the most recent compliment you’ve received and savoured?
That a dress did not do me any justice...because it confused me. Poor guy actually explained he meant that I was good looking and put the dress to shame...I'm still thinking on this one actually and give him a hard time...like right now I need to go give him a hard time about that....Grr..or yay? I'm so confused.
What is something about yourself that you hope will change, but probably never will?
Nothing, I'm very happy with myself. Anything I ever wanted to change, I changed. I'm still stubborn like that.
Are you a creature of habit? Explain.
We all are, we all have some habitual acts we perform because it lies in the subconscious. Even simple muscle memory is a form of habituation. But! I bet you meant something different?
Yes, I still get butterflies when a guy, even if I have known him for ever, flirts with me.
I eat Ice Cream, in my jammies, stay up way to late...whenever I get real upset over something and usually am out sick from work the next day.
I complain at people that don't put the toilet seat down, no matter who it is.
Are you high maintenance? Explain.
Yes, but I maintain myself =P
I like to go out, I like to do things. I am an extrovert most of the time EXCEPT
Winter, I am totally an introvert. I like to stay inside, warm and cozy unless there's tons of snow outside to play in.
When was the last time you really pushed yourself to your physical limits?
2 Days ago, it was warm enough to go out bike riding. Always push your limits when physically exercising...always. It's the only way to make new and higher boundaries.
Do you have a whole lot of acquaintances or just a few very close friends? Why?
A very few close friends. A close friend is the one you call, to bail you out, and no one else can know why...and they don't even ask what the problem is...they are just there when you need them to be there.
Tons of acquaintances.
Are you more inclined to “build your own empire” or unleash the potential of others?
I would build an empire with others that allows others to reach their potentials.
What’s a strange thing that happens to you but you have never (or rarely) shared with anyone?
I see shadows sometimes, and look thinking something is there...and there isn't. It's annoying at times.
What do you think about more than anything else?
Relationships and their various levels from the simple 'Hello' that starts a relationship to the more intrinsic romance relationship or the more 'close to home' relationship with my family.
I have a degree in psychology...so that's a good easy explanation.
What’s something that amazes you?
My children find ways to amaze me every day.
People most often, I feel, let me down because they are lazy and don't try to reach their potential. I am amazed when I am proven wrong. I am proven wrong 'often' enough i shouldn't feel this way, but *shrugs* sometimes it's just one's nature.
Do you prefer that people shoot straight with you or temper their words? Why?
Shoot straight, plain and simple without being all flailing and yelling.
When you yell, at least one person is not listening.
Anger resolves nothing, but it creates many problems on its own.
Yes, if my butt looks fat in these jeans tell me, I don't want to be prancing about with a fat butt...be honest.
Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest
A place along the Potomac River where you can see Washington DC, a lil island, and watch jets/planes take off and land...there's a story there as well, it's where Gen. Washington camped...
An ZOMG! it's so friggin pretty in winter with snow at night!
What’s one thing you’d rather pay someone to do than do yourself? Why?
Clean the bathroom. Nuff said.
Do you have a catchphrase?
'Fix the problem, don't tell me about the problem, don't tell me how to resolve the problem. Tell me there is a problem, tell me you are fixing the problem. It's what I hired you for, not to come to me to resolve the problems you find.'
How and where do you prefer to study?
Alone, when it's rainy and miserable outside in front of the fireplace in my jammies.
What position do you sleep in?
Side
What’s your all-time favourite town or city? Why?
Australia - I haven't been there. I'm afraid to go there, because I don't think I'd come back.
What are the top three qualities that draw you to someone new?
Kindness, a smile, and their eyes. Hello does not to be a spoken word, we communicate with body language leaps and bounds beyond the limitations we have with language.
How has your birth order/characteristics of siblings affected you?
This, I must think upon...
If you could eliminate one weakness or limitation in your life, what would it be?
If I cold identify this, it would be eliminated. Some call it being a self-starter, others call it having determination. I'm actually just that stubborn.
If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?
I would never dishonor my mother that way. But I do wish she had chosen a name that could also be a nickname. Something like Katherine, KAT. Amilia AMI. ok I'm fond of Kat...oh well.
Do you believe ignorance is bliss? Why or why not?
Yes, because I live it everyday. I don't know what it is like to hear as I am deaf. I don't know what I am or am not missing...but to me it's a blessing of sorts.
I never need Mommy ears
I never need Wifey ears.
I don't argue, because seeing someone flail with sign-language makes me laugh.
I read lips, and very well..but I lie sometimes, like when someone is going off and just give them a certain 'look' and tell them I can't understand them when they are acting like a child that just discovered Santa is REAL!...because that is just exactly how people look to me when they start going off.
What do you consider unforgivable?
Deception, betrayal.
Have you forgiven yourself for past personal failures? Why or why not?
Yes, but this was a very important life lesson. I never understood forgiveness until a Preacher really explained it to me.
You have hate, you have anger...but do you think that person you have not forgiven feels that way? No..they don't. You're making yourself feel this way, forgive and let go of that hate and anger. Forgiveness is a selfish act, in this be selfish.
How difficult is it for you to forgive someone who refuses to apologize?
Not at all...believe that in any situation like this it is often misunderstanding more than a wrong or right.
Do you hold any convictions that you would be willing to die for?
Nope. I have children, such choices are forfeit in lieu of my responsibility as a parent.
To what extent do you trust people? Explain.
As much as they have proven themselves reliable and trustworthy.
In what area of your life are you immature?
The way I communicate OOC, because you don't know me..I don't now you. We only know that which you portray..in this I can act the way I enjoy acting rather than having to maintain my typical professional, mature manner.
I R Happy in this!
How difficult is it for you to be honest, even when your words may be hurtful or unpopular?
Honesty is always best, even if it is not desired.
When did you immediately click with someone you just met? Why? What was the long term result? Conversely, are you close with anyone now that you really disliked at first?
My now Ex-Husband. We clicked the first day we saw each other in high school...it was his eyes, his confidence...He didn't ask the teacher where to sit, he pointed at me and the empty chair beside me and told the teacher that was his seat. The smile, those bedroom eyes and whispy hair...I think he said hello. Divorce sucked, though years later, we do talk and try to work towards making the best of it and for our children. No we're not together, probably never will be again.
Dislike? Like - both take me a long time. I avoid people I dislike so there's really no chance to 'like' them.
Wheew! That was fun! =P
I have well over a decade of RP, running games, GM/DMing etc...I love RP!
