1. If you’ve ever tried drugs or alcohol, what was your reason for first trying it?
I've never done drugs. My first time trying alcohol was my parents allowing me to sample a taste of a wine they were drinking.
2. Do you think you could ever have an abortion if you unexpectedly turned up pregnant right this second?
I would be curious onto who the father of the child is, but no, I wouldn't get an abortion.
3. If you were far from home and needed to sleep for the night, would you choose to rent a crappy motel room for $60 or sleep in your car for free?
Depends on where I was... and just how crappy the motel was.
4. Is there a color shirt you’d NEVER wear?
I'm not that fond of yellow or orange.
5. Is there a situation where you caved into peer pressure and regretted it?
No.

1: In detail, what fictional character do you find yourself most like & why?
Hmm... right now I think I have to go with Magnus Bane. Although we tend to be outgoing among our friends and usual groups, always enjoying a good time out and about, deep inside we are broken and trying to keep control of our emotions. We've been either smitten or in love with quite a few people but have been hurt quite a few times. As a result, we are hesitant to reveal ourselves completely to new people we grow romantically close with. People think they know us well but in reality they don't. We're the biggest mystery than anyone will ever encounter.
2: For fictional places that are already made up, which place would you like to be?
I would love to travel on the TARDIS. Does that count?
3: What new name would you give yourself?
Mrs. Cumberbatch. xd
4: What male/female fictional character would you want to be your soul mate?
Sherlock Holmes (the Benedict Cumberbatch version).
5: What fictional character do you think would oppose against you, or most likely become enemies with?
Probably a villian from the Sailor Moon universe because I'm all about love and friendship. Basically what the sailor senshi are always fighting for. sweatdrop

6: Who would be your fictional best friend?
The Doctor. River Song. Captain Jack Harkness. Um... Magnus Bane. Severus Snape. *shrugs* It really depends on what fictional universe you want to talk about.
7: What fictional/mythological creatures would you want to exist in your world?
Unicorns and dragons.
8: If someone HAD to write about you (or your life) in a fictional way, who would you want that writer to be?
If we're talking about book wise, then I would say J.K. Rowling or Neil Gaiman. If we're talking TV/Movie wise, I would say Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss, Joss Whedon, or J.J. Abrams.
9: Powers you would like to posses?
Empathic mimicry.
10: Would you prefer your fictional world to be more like sci-fi or fantasy-like? If other, describe?
Both? Like Doctor Who. xd

11: Out of your favorite fictional movies and books that you've watched/read do you know who you could trust if they were to become real?
I would be able to trust Sherlock Holmes. I think we would hit off quite well and I understand his level of intellect.
And I would be able to trust the Doctor.
12: If your favorite fictional character became real what would you tell them if you got the chance to meet?
If it was the Doctor, I would say: "Where to my friend?"
13: If you were going to write a fictional story about your favorite 'real life' person who would you write about?
Probably my parents... or my group of friends. Most likely my group of friends since it would be more fun to write about.
14: Would you consider yourself royalty, villain, hero, or neutral if you knew the type of character you'd become and why?
Hmm... I think I would be wise companion. The one who ends up being a semi-leader simply because I was intelligent and was able to provide good advice. Sort of like Gandalf. *shrugs*
15: Would you be the type of character to lead many people or roam independently?
Somewhere in the middle. Again... like Gandalf. *laughs*

Waiting for Spike to regain some energy. It feels like it's taking forever.

I just watched a scene from Star Trek Into Darkness that someone had uploaded onto YouTube... and man does it look good! And I must say Benedict did a fabulous acting job in that scene - being both emotionally heartbroken but menacing at the same time.
Ugh! I can't wait until I get to see the movie in its entirety.

Prof. Moonie I just watched a scene from Star Trek Into Darkness that someone had uploaded onto YouTube... and man does it look good! And I must say Benedict did a fabulous acting job in that scene - being both emotionally heartbroken but menacing at the same time.
Ugh! I can't wait until I get to see the movie in its entirety. It's great, especially if you're familiar with the old Wrath of Khan film with the TOS actors. whee
