Things you don't know - Meme

Stolen from jem0000000, adapted by me:

The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you. This last part is optional. You only have to repost if you want to. ;P

What kind of food do you like?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

OOooooOOOoooH!! All kinds of food! Honestly, it'd be easier to answer what kind of food I *DON'T* like! XD I love pizza (of course) my toppings of choice are mushrooms and green peppers, but I'll eat ANYTHING on a pizza. My least fave pizza topping is pineapple, and I've discovered that's not even so much because I hate the taste, but because if you keep pizza in the fridge until the next day and eat it cold (as I like to do) the pineapple gets all cold and acidy and makes the cheeze pull away from the pineapple :P

I also like all SORTS of different foods, but my staple that I tend to fall back on is Burger King's whopper with no onions and Dr. Pepper is my drink of choice XD

OM NOM NOM... damn, now I'm hungry!

What do you do for a living?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

I work at a thrift store. I take books that they get in as donations and post some of them online for sale :D

If there was no turtlecest left on the planet, what would your next TMNT-related "guilty pleasure" be? *mischievous giggle*

What is your least favorite pairing? What makes it so squicky to you?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "guilty pleasure" sweety... If you mean "guilty pleasure" as in something I seek out in fanfic, then T-cest is NOT a "guilty pleasure". Or do you mean "guilty pleasure" in the way of "something I read but feel a little guilty about reading"?

(I will address your other question in a separate reply, sweety)

[soliloquy.livejournal.com]

In the, "Something you read but feel a little guilty about reading" sense. I'm just in a odd playful kinda mood today for some dumb reason. Heh.

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

ahhh, okay I see. XD I think my other fave "guilty pleasure" fics are rape or non-consensual fics. I like it MORE if a turtle is the perpetrator rather than the recipient, but I've read a few where a turtle is the victim that I've liked well too. I always feel kinda bad after reading those, especially ones that portray it more realistically, because I know rape is something that ruins peoples lives. :\

Don't worry about it babycakes. I like your questions! they make me think! XD

[soliloquy.livejournal.com]

*Nods* I like non-con, too, with the turtle as the perp. It doesn't make sense because I've experienced it in real-life. Same with stalker stories (where the turtle is the stalker).

And, yet, I'm triggered horribly by incest, and I've experienced that, too. Go figure.

I like your "Oh my" icon. hee hee. ;-)

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

My least favorite TMNT pairing? That would have to be Splinter/any turtle D: Argh. It has been done by some authors. The only way I even TOUCH reading a Splinter/Turtle fic is if it's non-consensual, and even then I stop reading the ones that get too smutty, they make me a little ill. I only read the non-con ones that are full of angst.
The reason that pairing squicks me out so badly is because it's abusive and not loving. Splinter is their father/master/sensei, and therefore in a position of power, and so any relationship between a parent and a child will cause problems of it being forced by the parent, and abusive.

((BTW, I love your new icon. The Mikey/Raph one with Mikey's tongue sticking out.. what ep is that from? Nyar?))

[ethereal-sky.livejournal.com]

What blood type are you?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

O positive! XD You?

[ethereal-sky.livejournal.com]

A+! Aw, we're not in the same blood group, so we cannot have internet high-five! =(

[xenowriter.livejournal.com]

What got you into TMNT and why Mikey?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

*be's naughty and Cuts and Pastes an old answer from here (http://micaturtle.livejournal.com/8786.html) with a tiny bit of editing*

My 1st exposure with TMNT was prolly the original cartoon. I remember I watched 1 episode of it and rolled my eyes at it. (I know, I'm a bad nyar. I even remember saying "just when you think they couldn't come up with anything worse than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they come out with Biker Mice From Mars" .. bad Mica! .. now I shudder the thought and remember that when I get the urge to bash anyone else's fandom)

Then when I was 15 or 16 I believe... I was a huge animatronics freak. I don't remember what movie got me most interested in animatronics, but I was on summer break and in the middle of a depressive bout when I saw the 1st TMNT movie (on VHS, it actually belonged to my aunt Jean, and now that I think about it, I *STILL* haven't returned it to her ;). It AMAZED me. I was engrossed. I watched it probably 15+ times that first week. The animatronics in that movie are STILL amazing to me.

I know it sounds silly, but for a short time my fantasy mind had convinced myself that the turtles were real and were IN that first movie (NO ONE is allowed to comment on this part, leave my fantasy bubble alone!)

I liked Raph, and I liked Mikey. As I watched it more, I gravitated more towards Mike. I don't know why, I just did. Truthfully, if my first exposure hadn't been the movie, I may have become a die-hard Donnie fan. But truthfully, until I saw the second & third movie and read a little bit of the comics, I never knew he was supposed to be the "smart" one. Oh the tides of fate :)

[xenowriter.livejournal.com]

First of all do not feel silly! When I was little I used to believe the guys were real and I would constantly look down sewer grates when I was walking down sidewalks!

Yeah Don was too goofy in the movies :P I definitely see you as a Mikey type *nods*

[soliloquy.livejournal.com]

I did the same thing, too! :-D

[xenowriter.livejournal.com]

Not wrong with that!!! :)

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

What books do you like to read?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

dang! there's a loaded question! I don't read NEARLY as much as I used to (nor as much as I *SHOULD*). Whenever I find a spare moment for reading, I tend to gravitate more towards comics or fanfiction nowadays.
However, i tend to like terra-scifi most of all (Terra Sci-Fi is science fiction or fantasy that is set in the normal world, and could be happening under the public's noses without us knowing about it).
Specific genre I *REALLY* enjoy is genderbender or gender!swap. I prefer most of all stories where a female is somehow magically turned into(or has their mind/consciousness transferred to the body of) a male. The problem is that this genre is SO tiny that it's hard to find decent published books on it ("Tiffany Twisted" is so far my fave that I've read, but even that book is seriously lacking in a LOT of ways)

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

heh, yeah, there's a reason I have this keyword on my icon.

Yeah, genderbending is fun, but so many ways to be cliched/stupid/fail.

*stumbles in late*

1) Hair colour (natural, if you've dyed it)?
2) Birth place?
3) Eat a cone or spend a week up in a tree? What kind of cone/tree?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

1) Brown! Yes, it's natural. I wish I had naturally neon orange hair! that would be fun! XD

2) Right here where I still live, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States :P

3) took me a few moments to realize you meant. I thought you meant ICE CREAM CONE. and if that was the case, def the ice cream cone! om nom nom! Otherwise if it was a pinecone, I think I'd spend the week in the tree, but it depends if I'm allowed to bring my laptop up in the tree and run an extension cord out to it for power ;D Am I?

[geaven.livejournal.com]

1) Me too, dark brown. *nods*
2) Huh. Never moved out?
3) Well, if I was talking about ice cream, it wouldn't have been much of a question, eh? ;) Of course you can bring your technology stuff with you. After all, you should blog about the experience. XD

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

2) I moved away (not very far, still in the same town) but I moved back in :p Stoopid money issues :p

3)Yay! Blog in a tree! XD Certainly I'd want to be in an Oak or something simular, so there would be nice big branches to sit/sleep on (am I allowed potty breaks, or must I relieve myself upon unsuspecting passerbys like birds do?)

[geaven.livejournal.com]

3) *snort* Let's compromise - you get a chamber pot. And check my awesome tp icon! ^^

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

Am I allowed to dump the full chamberpot on people who pass underneath that I don't like? ;)

Awesome TP icon! .. GOLD toilet paper? sounds like it would chafe!

[geaven.livejournal.com]

Well... if you want to. ;D

It's a quote from Supernatural. Dean is tossed into an (alternate) future where the world has been taken over by these zombie-like creatures, and there are only a few survivors left.
Chuck: Can I give you some advice?
Dean: Sure.
Chuck: When you get back to your time, you gotta HOARD toilet paper. Hoard it like it's made of GOLD. 'Cause it is.
(pause)
Dean: ... thank you?
Chuck: Oh, you'll thank me, all right.

What's your favorite store where you are now? What kind of store is it (bookstore, craftstore, grocery store....)? Why is it your favorite? What's your favorite NYC store (poptart world?)? If it's one I didn't see, what kind is it? Why is it your favorite?

What kind of music do you like? Do you listen to music a lot, a little, or what? When do you tend to listen to it?

Is there something in particular you want to see when you come to visit?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

My *FAVE* store? Hmm... that's a toughie. I like Savers and goodwill! because they are cheap and I can find TMNT stuff there sometimes! :D I also like Spencer's gifts and Hot Topic, because I can find TMNT stuff there :) I also like a used game/DVD/CD store here in town called "Last Stop CD Shop" because I can usually find cheap DVDs or Games there and I can also sell the stuff I don't want :)

My fave NYC store? I don't really have one, haven't visited there enough.

Sorry, I'm not much of a shopper outside of looking for TMNT stuff.

I listen to all types of music. I listen to music mostly at work. I'm not as much into music as some people, but I do know that I have to watch what I listen to, as I know that if I listen to depressing/mopey/whiney stuff too much, I'll get in a bad mood.

I wants to see you and robina when i visits!! XD Other than that, just the general area and I wanna go out shopping to a few places so I can get the general vibe of the public attitudes.

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Cool! We don't have a Savers, but we have Goodwill, several consignment shops, and a ton of dollar stores. We'll check out both Spencers and Hot Topic the week you come, I think. Several of the used book stores carry CDs, DVDs, etc; there's no media-specific used store at the moment, but the one we had was rather expensive anyway. There are used games, but the actual game stores have better selections on used games than the book stores do.

It's ok! I'm just looking at planning a tentative itinerary for when you come. ^_^

You cannot! We will turn invisible! Lol, j/k.

Ok. We'll probably hit the mall, the used book store, maybe Walmart, definitely drive around a bit so you can see the layout of the city - or of our part of it, anyway - and see the colleges.
