Meme to know you

[floranna]

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer*.

*Providing it's answerable/suitable for public posting.

When I was four, my mom and grandmother took me to the county fair. Some nice man gave us a free ticket and a bet on the children's pig race. My pig won, and I ran around telling everybody that I won the pig race.

What's your favorite thing about your home? (House, region, country, doesn't matter. Interpret home however you want)

The space. Our apartment is big, but it also means so much more. Finland is one of the biggest European countries, and one of the most sparsely populated countries in the orld. I don't remember the statistics but maybe even in the third most sparsely pouplated? I know Mongolia is the most.

I live in the biggest city, the capital, but even then I know ho to find places that are comletely open and devoid of any other people. I love it.

BTW, did you read my answer to Dungeonwriter? Your fact reminds me of my answer to her. ^^

I did, which was why I thought of it.

Living in New Mexico was the same. Eighty percent of the US population lives east of the Appalachians, and most of the rest lives in California or Texas. There was always so much space around, and it was easy to get away from everybody. I miss that.

When someone mentions living in US, first thing that pops into my head are big cities (and rednecks). I mean, I would love to visit them, but living in a one for an extended period? I would be going mad. And it wouldn't be pretty.

The big cities and the rednecks are both pretty easy to avoid ;) The rednecks are loud, but that just lets you know they're coming. There's a reason people talk about the open western sky. The western states in the US are sparsely populated, and I miss my desert mountains. It's easy to find somewhere where there is no sign around of humanity except you and what you came in with.

I like money and cereal.

Okay, doesn't everyone, really?

I cannot remember a time in my life when I wasn't trying to tell angsty stories with my own or someone else's characters. Up until relatively recently, I had a spiral bound notebook that I drew an entire story in when I was somewhere between three and four years old, that was entirely an angsty melodrama (drawn only because I couldn't write at the time).

What's your favorite fruit?

When I was a small kid, I used to have nightmares about becoming the Hulk.

What do you eat for breakfast?

When I was kid I drew all the time, I drew my own comics (stories, I guess) about 2 cats that had adventures and shit. I called it Tabby and Tom.

...I can't think of anything to ask XD

Despite how good I know I can look in certain types of dresses and how comfy they are to wear, I still bloody love wearing formal trousers and shirts that are unisex at best and probably more accurately described as masculine. If I ever find a waistcoat that can accommodate my knockers and still look good, I will get it and wear it with my bowler hat and a black wool overcoat.

How many bookcases do you have?
