@britishkitten27 thanks for the tag 🙂

Under the cut because of gifs and length.

1) Worst job you’ve ever had? I once worked as a web programmer for a small tech firm. My supervisor liked to tell me on a daily basis how useless I was, and how anyone could do my job. I quit after two months unable to take it anymore, and then the firm filed for bankruptcy so I never even got paid.

2) Current TV show? I watch a lot of different shows. Do you mean current favorite? That would be Stargate. Current favorite which is still airing? That would be Once Upon a Time. Newest show that I’ve picked up? Star Trek: Enterprise. Last show I watched? Also Enterprise.

3) Childhood favorite book? I really loved the Harry Potter series as a kid but by the time the seventh book came out I was quite disenchanted. I still loved the potential of the world but I’d noticed all the plot holes and the less savory implications. I liked the Hardy boys, Redwall, Enid Blyton, I’m not sure I could pick an actual favorite.

4) Planes, cars, boats or coaches/trains? Boats definitely, I love the ocean and sailing. If I had the money and could get reliable internet, I would live on a boat.

5) Favorite seasons? Heh when I first read this I thought you meant TV seasons – one track mind! Autumn/winter because all the bugs die and I can snuggle under blankets without getting too hot.

6) Favorite boys & girls names? I don’t know, that’s difficult because names are usually tied to associations. Say a name and think of a person, or in my case – characters. I’m going to change this question to favourite characters instead, sorry, not sorry. Ok favorite male character (I have to pick one?) – Nicholas Rush. Favourite female character – Regina.

7) Favorite flower? I hate flowers, they attract bugs but I suppose I like flowers that look like flowers (I know that doesn’t make sense). Something like roses because they don’t have the ugly stamen thing (I think that’s what it’s called) in the middle.

8) What is your most prized possession? My iPod, it keeps me sane and they don’t make them anymore (it’s about 10 years old) and I want to keep it safe and working forever.

9) Best school-time memory? School wasn’t really that great for me. It’s hard to think of any really good moment. I think maybe when I got nearly a perfect score in Resistant Materials for my GCSE project. I got 101 out of 105 and they were bound to search for something to knock marks off, it was as perfect as anyone was likely to get. It was my hardest subject because it didn’t come naturally and so I actually felt like I earned that mark, I had to work really hard and that made it worth more.

10) Dream job as a child? Writer, still my dream job actually.

11) If you could live in another time, what time would you choose and why? The future because I bet they have even more cool technology. I look at what we have now and I can’t imagine living without it. Our technology has evolved so much in such a short space of time. In 50 years what will we have? In 200 years we will have our own spaceships? I want a spaceship.

I just recently did this and tagged people, so I’m not going to tag people again so soon. Anyone can do it who feels like it though 🙂

I was tagged by @ethereal-wishes to list the last three fanfics I’ve read: Win a Date with Gaston, The Flood, and Painting Layers of Love.

The last book you bought, and I’m tagging: @still-searching47 , @redqueenofdragons ; @waystocryforever ; @frenchroast007 ; @beastlycheese

@bookwormchocaholic thanks for the tag 🙂

The last book I bought? I’m not sure I can remember, it was so long ago. I’m really terrible, basically all I want to read these days are books I write, or fanfic. Plus books cost money and I’m really picky about what books I buy.

Oh hang on I’ll check my goodreads … Stargate SG1 – Two Roads. I like my TV tie-in books, which thinking about it, it’s like official fanfic – oops.

For the next round – The last five TV shows you watched. I’ll tag @woodelf68, @mrgoldsdearie and @golden-rumbelle hope you guys don’t mind the tag. If you don’t want to do it then I’m sorry and just ignore 🙂

@golden-rumbelle thanks for the tag 🙂

I’m going to put it under the cut as I’m going to include some gifs and plus long text posts are annoying.

1) What’s your star sign? Taurus

2) Assuming that you’re following my blog because you like Rumbelle, how and when did you first start liking them? The moment I watched Skin Deep, which was when I first saw Once last summer. I got netflix and started trying out new shows I’d not had access to before. I binge watched the first four seasons before season five started in September.

3) Did you watch any works of Robert and/or Emilie before OUAT? If so, which one/s? I’ve never seen Emilie in anything else. However, I had seen some SGU, The Full Monty and The World is Not Enough. I hadn’t really realized though that it was Robert Carlyle. I didn’t become a fan of his until Once, and that is actually what made me watch more SGU and then I became hooked on SGU on it’s own.

4) What’s the time right now? 16: 09
5) Lucky number? 47

6) Favorite time of day? Why? The afternoon because I tend to be more productive for some reason and I like being productive.

7) Do you have a place you’ve always wanted to visit? I like the idea of visiting lots of places but in reality I’m very much a homebody, I don’t really like going anywhere. The reality of lots of places scares me, like Australia or the Caribbean looks so pretty in pictures and I absolutely love the ocean. However, there’s lots of scary bugs and animals and I just couldn’t do it in real life.

8) Favorite ice cream flavor? I’m allergic to milk so it would be fake icecream and I’d have to go with the Vanilla Coconut one in the fridge. It is the nicest icecream in the world and I use it regularly to bribe myself to do stuff because it is so definitely worth it.

9) What’s a Rumbelle/Anyelle fic that you’ve really enjoyed reading/writing? Oh man I can’t pick just one that I’ve really enjoyed reading. Absolutely no way. I should probably make up a rec list at some point of my favorite fanfics but I’d be terrified of forgetting one. I’ve got a brain like a sieve sometimes. Plus, I feel bad about the authors I don’t list, it feels mean.

I’ve written half a dozen fics so far, I’ve got more in progress still on my hard drive. I’ve enjoyed writing most of them at times, I’m not sure I have a favorite. Although I’m quite partial to my first WIP, which might forever remain unfinished and unposted. It’s called ‘Her Happy Ending’ and I confess I re-read it sometimes because it cheers me up. It’s one of those things that I wrote in a burst of enthusiasm and now it feels like it wasn’t actually me that wrote it, probably because I enjoy reading it, so how can it be mine? I don’t know if that makes sense.

10) Best birthday gift you’ve ever received? I got my iPod for christmas, otherwise it would be that. I’ve had it 10 years and I hope to merlin it never breaks because you can’t buy them now and the new ones are rubbish in comparison. Wow, this is ungrateful, I know what I got this year and last year but I wouldn’t class either gift as ‘best birthday gift ever’ and I can’t remember what I got for my birthday in the past. Well this is awkward …

11) Can you read/write/speak in (a) different language/s? Which one/s? No which I am very embarrassed about. I would love to learn a language but I am awful at it. I drove my teacher mad at school because I wanted to know “why?”, I needed rules to learn and of course language is illogical a lot of the time. I used to know a few different programming languages but aside from PHP which I remember enough to do a few basic things, I have forgotten them because I’m so out of practice.

I love this idea. Hmm let’s see, 

Prompt: Last three things that made me cry.

1. The latest Olympic medal ceremony where the USA won gold. The Star Spangled Banner gets me every time. 
2. Okay so in my town, there’s this one homeless man that sits at the drive thru exit to our In N Out, which means it’s mega high traffic, and I went today and sure enough he’s there and he’s smiling and waving to every single car that passes, even though practically no one even bothered to look twice at him. 
3. I watched Piglet’s Big Movie again. My best friend who just moved out of our college house is the only person in my real life who’s ever bothered to notice that I only watch Pooh movies if I’m really upset. She’d see me watching them and bring me a cookie or a hug. I miss her. 

Wow that got long winded classic!Meg.

Prompt: The last 3 places I traveled.

1. Krakow, Poland

2. Chicago, Illinois

3. Ft. Wayne, Indiana

Taggings: @onceuponanovel ; @cruella ; @waystocryforever ; @still-searching47 ; @beastlycheese   Your Prompt: Last 3 Robert Carlyle movies you watched.

Thanks for tagging me 🙂

1. The World is Not Enough (relatively recently)
2. The Legend of Barney Thomson (several months ago)
3. The Full Monty (years and years ago)

Unfortunately those are the only three Robert Carlyle films I’ve seen. I really want to watch others (California Solo comes to mind heh) but they aren’t on netflix or Amazon Prime. I do have the 24 movie on DVD but I’m only on season two of the show, and I think I might be confused if I watched it.

Next Prompt: The last five stories you read …

Tagging: This always makes me nervous. Feel free to ignore if you don’t want to be bothered. @mrgoldsdearie @britishkitten27 @grace52373

Thanks @sarashouldbestudying I appreciate the tag 🙂

I’m going to use gifs so I’m going to put most of it under the cut.

1) Writing – I need to write, like I need oxygen to breathe practically. It’s part of my identity, spinning stories and writing them down is what I do, it’s who I am. If I’m not writing, then I feel like I’m wasting time. A ridiculous notion given how much I procrastinate but yeah if I’m not writing I feel like I should be, it’s in my head, it’s constantly at the back of my mind.

2) Music – I love pretty much all music. It is so very rare that I don’t have something playing. I can’t stand the quiet, I find it really distracting as I get hyper alert to any random noise. My iPod goes with me everywhere. Plugging in and having the consistent sounds of a song, rather than the sound of people all around me, is the only thing that stops a panic attack sometimes.

3) Stargate – This gets an entry on it’s own because I love it that much. I never get tired of it. No matter my mood, no matter how I feel, I can always put Stargate on, relax and it cheers me up even if only for the 40 minutes it’s on screen. The three shows weren’t perfect but they did a lot right and the expansive extended universe of potential, gives me a lot to think about when I can’t sleep at night.

4) Once Upon a Time – Another entry on it’s own. Now this show decidedly isn’t perfect but even if the plot quite often leads something to be desired, the characters and the world have so much potential, that it just sets my imagination on fire. To be honest I think that is what I look for most in anything I watch/read – potential. Plus this is the only show where I’m active in fandom, Rumbelle is why I joined tumblr and Once Upon a Time is what I fill my dash with.

5) Other TV/Movies – There’s a lot of stuff I like. I have a rather big DVD collection and I rewatch a lot. I could write a big long list but I probably shouldn’t. So my top ones that I keep coming back to would be Marvel Movies, Fools Gold, Princess Diaries, Hustle, Flashpoint, CSI, NCIS etc.

6) Cute puppy pictures – I don’t like dogs in reality, mostly because I have a problem with unpredictability and all animals are inherently unpredictable. I’m really nervous around dogs, I know that they aren’t going to hurt me but yeah, well I’m nervous around anything alive really. However, I love dogs in abstract – they are so sweet!

7) Technology – I do like new shiny gadgets. I never get them because it’s illogical, always better to wait until they have been out a while and the bugs have been worked out. Usually don’t get them after that because, no need, only get stuff if it would be of use. However, that doesn’t stop me from drooling over the shiny’s and reading through their specs on the internet, or looking at them in the store.

8) The Ocean – I absolutely love the sea, the crashing of the waves, the smell of the ocean breeze. I am terrified of seagulls so going to the seaside is always tricky. However, I do love the sea. If I was a gazillionaire I would live on a boat probably.

9) Swimming – I do my best thinking around water. Get ideas in the shower, or preferably while doing laps in the pool. I’m not that fast, but I used to go 3x a week and do 40 laps or something. I haven’t been able to swim in a year now because of an injury and I miss it so much.

10) Blankets – I hate the summer so much because I can’t do anything about being too hot, winter is awesome, most of the bugs are dead, nobody bugs me about going outside and I can huddle under blankets. I love blankets, they are so comforting and snuggly.

Thanks @mrgoldsdearie I appreciate the tag!

Rules: Answer the questions in a new post and tag twenty people you would like to get to know better.

Nickname(s): I don’t have one
Star sign: Taurus
Height: 5’1 (I’m short)
Time: 10:38am

Last thing I googled: “How to trick my PC into turning off without updating” because Microsoft doesn’t seem to understand that no means no. I do not want the windows 10 update, do not make me have it!

Favorite music artist: This is so difficult! I listen to music all the time, I have a few favorite artists but to just pick one .. I don’t think I can. Plus it changes, I get something new and then I listen to it repeatedly for weeks/months. So what is the current list? James Blunt, One Republic, Maroon 5, My Chemical Romance, Nickelback, Plan Three, Shinedown, Sick Puppies and Thousand Foot Krutch.

Song stuck in your head right now: I read this question and it’s like a mixtape just went off in my head. First I had “Get the Party Started” by Pink, then “Happy Ending” by Mika, then “How do you love” by Shinedown.

Last movie I watched: Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Last television show I watched: NCIS
What are you wearing right now: Star Wars pajamas
When did you create this blog: 2 months ago, beginning of May 2016.

What do you post: Once Upon a Time and Stargate are my big fandoms. Within that I’m a writer so mostly my fic, reblogging other fics, writing quotes/tips, talking about writing. I do reblog gifsets, mostly of Nicholas Rush but sometimes other stuff if I feel like it.

Do you have any other blogs?: Not on tumblr
Do you get asks on a regular basis: Nope, barely ever but then I’m new and so it’s to be expected. I put up my first TMI Tuesday last week and I will do so every week that I can just because it’s fun. I don’t expect I’ll get any asks for weeks, if ever but I confess I like to join in. I see TMI Tuesday posts on my dash, so I just throw mine up there, maybe one day someone will have a question or a prompt, that would be really cool.

Why did you choose your url: Back in 2005 I created a personal site, for my coding projects, my art, my fics etc. and I called it – Still Searching. It seemed to make sense to use the same name for the blog here. The 47 is because that is my favorite number. I got that from Alias, I still remember Marshall saying early on in season one “I want to get it to 47 because that’s a prime number”.

I’m always a bit nervous tagging people, which is strange because I love being tagged. Anyway, I’m not actually going to tag anyone but feel free to answer the meme if you would like.
