🎶 Last song I listened to: Here’s to Never Growing Up by Avril Lavigne on youtube.

📺 Currently reading/playing/watching: Reading; The Reluctant Queen: The Story of Anne of York by Jean Plaidy. Playing: nothing. Watching; ghost adventures from the season they went to discovery+ & now they're available for some reason, new episodes of press your luck, some air disasters from season 4 that aired recently, but we didn't see before.

🌶️ Sweet/Savory/Spicy?: sweet, always. some spice now and then is fine.

❤️ Relationship status: single, not looking to mingle.

🤩 Current obsession: not really "obsessed" with anything these days.

1. How did you find Dreamwidth? What attracted you to this platform? Why did you start blogging?
i think i was commenting with an open-id thing on livejournal & saw people taking about this new DW thing. i followed some sg-1 people over & was commenting anonymously or with the open-id & [personal profile] zats_clear was like; "hey! do you want a invite code?" (in the early days they had codes so a bunch of people couldn't sign up at once. i think that's why.) i was like: "sure." and here i am.

1. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
no food or drinks around reading material or computers.

2. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
no writing or marking!

3. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?

usually some random envelope or receipt.

4. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
i read both. mostly fiction these days.

5. Hardcopy or audiobooks?

hardcopy. i have what someone here on DW once called "mental TV" and i think someone reading the books would interfere with that.

6. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?
to the end of a chapter 80-90% of the time. to the end of a paragraph or a page break the rest of the time.

7. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? Write it down to look it up later? Just try to infer what it means from the rest of the sentence, and keep going?
i try to figure it out. otherwise write it down. what i hate is random non-english words inserted as if we all know what the author is talking about. those should be explained in the foot notes.

8. What are you currently reading?
a hiss before dying by rita mae brown

9. What is the last book you bought?
the painted queen by elizabth peters. not good, i regret it.

10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can read more than one at a time?
one at a time.

11. Do you like re-reading books?

now and then. i'm doing a re-read of the amelia peabody series in between booklender orders.

Day 29 - Favorite Trek Quote
so many but i like reed's line of: "I've invested FAR too much time trying to figure you out, Mr. Tucker... I'm not about to accept that it was all for nothing." in the episode shuttle pod one.

Day 30 - Favorite Trek Series
i really don't know. i go back and forth between TNG, VOY & ENT. but the honest answer, if i'm honest with myself, is whatever one i'm watching at the time.
archersangel: (tired)

Day 27 - Character You Would Date
i done know. archer, most likely. maybe paris.

Day 28 - Name Your Own Starship
warsaw. because i'm of Polish decent & poland doesn't get enough respect.

for some reason i thought there was one named that or at least a warsaw class, but i can't find anything on it.

i once had a list of ship names (which apparently every trek fan did) and of the 8 or 10 i only remember warsaw, quicksilver and gold eagle. i think i had rum runner too,
most likely that would be some small patrol craft named for someone's several times great grandfather's boat they used to bring booze into the u.s. during Prohibition.
