100 Things You Might Not Know About Me...
Answer these questions then tag 10 people to do the same.

( I did it again )

Not tagging. Just having fun. Feel free to snatch and play.

Rules:
Reply to this meme by yelling 'WORDS!', and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you. Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of esoteric/oblique. You'll only get given five words if you do include 'WORDS!' in a reply to this post, meaning you can safely comment (should you wish to do so) without having to play.


Words given to me by arhh :

Poland - I do ramble way too often about my country, don't I? Well, maybe not ramble, but complain. Yeah. Living here's not that easy. Can't buy lots of good stuff-- shipping from US or UK is way too expensive (also, currency stuff-- gives me headache). Not sleeping well/long enough-- 'real' life begins when the evening begins in the US, which is around midnight/two o'clock here (for example, last House livestream started around quarter to three a.m. here and I had a phonetics exam around nine a.m., but who the hell cares?). I love my country, I really do, but...

Spock - everything is about Spock. I mean, really. Up to the point when I can't think without making a connection with this yummy Vulcan hottie (ohshit, blasphemy!!! D:) I always had a thing for logical, un-feeling men: Holmes, 47, House, Jeeves, Hannibal Lecter. Spock is like the very definition of them, because he's also alien, which makes him even more of an outsider. (there's also the whole story about me wanting to be just like them, but I grew up, thank God)

Star Trek - The Ultimate Fandom. And I mean that. Whatever you think of, it's already there. Angst, hurt/comfort, crossdressing, alternate realities, BDSM, fluff, evil twins/counterparts, genderbending (kinda sorta), psychic powers, aliens. Also, Kirk and Spock as the proud 'daddies' of slash. What more do you need from life?

House - my first real fandom, and I think I'm stuck with it. Not that I'm complaining, hell no. If it wasn't for House fanfics I'd never chose English (learning, translating, whatever) as my future. Reading and listening to podfics really helped me improve my skills. Also, it has Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard, two of the hottest men living. I admit, I watch it for them and for slash. Pity TPTB seems to like screwing with watchers and keeps inventing weird plots and ruining characters (Cuddy, for example), but I hope they're going to fix it. With what's happened so far in s6, I guess somebody has realised what they were doing wrong. Keep it up, guys.

Friends - have a few, thank God. There was a time when I thought I can live without them and I was so wrong. I was stupid back then, but they forgave me. I really don't know what I'd do without them. Probably I'd be dead by now, literally. I've also met a few really awesome people online, and one of them I can actually call my BFF. Or a mind-twin. Or t'hy'la. And it's h_e_r_b_a_t_a . I love you, gal!

My leg hurts like hell :C Got caught in the door, now my ankle is swollen and I can’t walk. And since it’s my right leg, my brother keeps on mocking me, telling me how I subconsciously want to be like House. Yeah, right.

Hope I haven’t broken anything, it doesn’t hurt that bad, but still… no driving lessons for me in the next few days. Ohnoes D:

Now to the bright side of life.

Since I have more time, I decided to work on my House t-shirt. Googled a stencil, bough a can of paint, some t-shirts and that funny paper, sticky on one side (still don’t know how it’s called in English). Few hours later I had this:

Still looking for the right font for IT’S NEVER LUPUS. Also, I’m working on a Jimmy Wilson t-shirt. Found a nice picture. Will post the photo when I finish.

Finished before I could post it. My PC hates me and yesterday decided not to cooperate for no apparent reason. Well, that’s why I called it Lupus.

Here be the photo (sorry for the crappy quality, my camera hates me, too):

While in Puławy, I also found and bought Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince and Other Stories & Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. I read the latter in Polish and I really liked it, though not as much as Lord Jim, which is all kinds of awesome.

MEME TIEM!!! (found @ arhh’s LJ):

( Here be the meme... )

Found at arhh's LJ:

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on ...

Qs from arhh:

1. You are stuck on a desert island. Other than food, fire, water and shelter you are allowed two other things- what are they?
My Secret Stash Of Printed Slash (over four hunderd pages of House/Wilson, Jeeves/Wooster, Holmes/Watson & Top Gear slashy goodness) and my orange ball.

2. Favorite author and book?
Tough one. Thomas Harris, I guess (with Raymond Chandler on the second place). And the book? Umm... The Complete Kama Sutra translated by Alain Danielou. Though Complete Cases of Sherlock Holmes by sir Arthur Conan Doyle is pretty close. Depends on the mood I'm in.

3. If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?
States or England. Because English language is my one and only lover (of all time).

4. Favorite song?
Now: Closer by Nine Inch Nails. Always: Where The Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue.

5. Favorite meal?
French fries. One of my many addictions.
