I think I'll jump on it!

What's your real name?
Megan will do, thank you. (But not "Meg", please!)

Names you go by?
Megan.

How old are you?
I'll be 35 come the end of February.

How old do you feel/act?
I've never really felt much older than about eighteen or nineteen, to be honest. How old do I act? Heck if I know. I like to think I'm pretty mature, but I'm not exactly an objective source of information.

How tall are you?
5'6"

What's your natural hair color?
Black.

What's your eye color?
Brown.

What's your orientation?
North-north-west.

Or, if you mean my [i]sexual[/i] orientation... I don't really know what I'd call myself. I've never been entirely happy with any of the available labels, to be honest. On the whole, I'm most attracted to women, but there have been a few exceptions. Though even then, I much prefer people who lean more toward the feminine regardless of their sex.

All that said, I don't particularly mind whatever labels people want to apply to me. I don't really reject any of them. I'm just not sure how well they fit. Stupid, huh?

Are you single, taken or undecided?
I have a boyfriend.

What do you do in your spare time?
On a good day, I write my silly little stories. On a bad day, I browse around various websites and usually end up watching YouTube videos or old episodes of [i]Star Trek[/i] TOS on Netflix. In the summer, I try to maintain a little kitchen garden, with varying levels of success. Depending on how long it takes the resident raccoons to notice. I read a fair bit, too. I mostly read rather fluffy fantasy or sci-fi novels, though I do try to get through the occasional bit of serious literature. One of these days, I'm determined to actually make it all the way through a Faulkner novel.

What's your job or occupation?
Everybody always asks this question. I don't want to be defined in any way by my job.

What do you like about yourself?
Can I get back to you on this?

What do you dislike about yourself?
See the above. This isn't somewhere I want to go right now.

What did your friends notice about you when they first met you?
Nobody has ever said, so I can't tell you. Mind you, it probably doesn't help that all of my friends are on-line these days.

What is your belief/religion if you believe in anything at all?
I'm an atheist. Before you click the unwatch button, though, I do my best not to be obnoxious about it. Militant atheists piss me off as much as militant theists do.

Do you drink?
I do, yes. Usually in moderation.

Do you smoke?
I don't anymore.

What are your major fears?
I have a severe phobia of birds.

Do you have any dreams or goals?
I have this stupid pipe dream that I might write one story that will be remembered long after I'm gone. More realistically, I'd just like to get published properly somewhere, on paper and everything.

Have you ever had a crush or an ex?
I have a couple of ex-girlfriends somewhere out there. I have had the odd crush, too, yes.

Who's your best buddy?
I don't like picking favorites. My friends know who they are and, I hope, how much they mean to me.

What's your favorite dish?
There are too many tasty things out there for me to pick just one.

What's your favorite drink?
Alcoholic - Strong Kentucky bourbon.
Non-alcoholic - Chai. I also drink far more soda than is good for me, but I don't know if it's because I like it or because it's habit.

What's your favorite color?
Purple. I'm also rather fond of hot pink in combination with black.

If you had a super power, what would it be?
I'm kind of boring. I want to be fluent in every language that has ever been spoken or created by mankind, including all pidgin, creole and dead languages.

What's your favorite movie?
More choices! Well, I've always been fond of the first two [i]Alien[/i] films, particularly the first one. I'm a pretty big fan of most of the films that Terry Gilliam has produced and/or directed, especially [i]Time Bandits[/i]. Come to that, I'm also a pretty big fan of [i]Monty Python's Life of Brian[/i], which I've always felt was superior to [i]Holy Grail[/i]. And I'm a huge fan of [i]The Lion in Winter[/i], being as I am a big history nerd and a fan of both Katharine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole.

What's your least favorite food?
I'm not a fan of anything overly sweet. The older I get, the less I like a lot of sweets, to be honest.

What's the last meal you want before you die?
I've always wanted my death to be a surprise, so planning that out would rather spoil things, don't you think? Anyway, I don't think I could really enjoy anything knowing it was the last thing I'd ever eat.

What do you drive and what would you really like to drive?
What I own is an old Toyota Camry. It's a great car, but currently in need of some work to make it road worthy again. So I've been driving my mother's Volkswagen Jetta and getting totally spoiled by the heated seats.

What is your most disliked bug?
Field crickets. Stay out of my house, you noisy little fuckers.

What pet peeves do you dislike the most?
Awkwardly worded questions in stupid memes are one.
I really dislike those people who throw their cigarettes out the car window or, worse, open their doors at a red light to spit on the road. Also, people who dump their trash on my land. I don't mean just the crap they toss out the window as they drive by, either, but their unwanted furniture, rusted out fuel tanks from cars, and huge garbage bags full of moldy old clothes. Not to mention trespassers. If you want to sunbathe naked, do it somewhere else, thanks.
