Several things.
Oct. 7th, 2001 11:41 am1. We're bombing Afghanistan.
2. She's awake.
3. It's Em's birthday. I'm sorry that this happened today.
In other, non-earth shattering news:
Andromeda was really good yesterday.
Lance is still the cutest boy in the world.
Dacey is amazing. Look at how pretty they are in color!
Britney is a hologram. (Makes sense to me.)
Lastly, the *NSlash Survey:
Name: Diana Michelle
Is that your real name? Yup. Sometimes I go by butterfly, which is not my real name.
Age: 18, 19 in November.
Location: Oregon City, Oregon.
*Reading*
How long have you been reading slash?: At least three years. Probably longer.
How long have you been reading *NSlash?: Roughly a year.
What was the first slash fandom you read?: Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
What other fandoms have you read?: Long list. Dogma, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Angel: The Series, Cruel Intentions, Roswell, Dawson's Creek, The Phantom Menace, The Mummy, other real people who aren't popstars, and many, many more.
What was the first *NSlash story you read?: *Nsyncgrrl's All I Ever Wanted.
What are some of your favorite *NSlash stories?: I couldn't possibly choose. Well, I could but I won't.
*Writing*
Have you ever written *NSlash?: Not yet. I suck.
Have you ever written other slash?: Nope. Still suck.
What's your favorite *NSlash story of your own?: N/A.
*Fandom*
What's your favorite pairing?: JuLa.
What are your other pairings (in order if you have one)?:
2. JoLa
3. Chance
4. Timbertrick
I'm not really into the others. I can read JC in a threesome with JuLa. I like Justin/Britney/Lance.
Does any pairing squick you?: Not really. I don't like some of them, but they don't squick me. Maybe JC/Justin. I'll think about it.
Does anything squick you?: It depends on how it's presented. Properly presented, I can accept most anything.
Do you "believe"?: No. But I like to play that I do. It's fun to think about.
Do you look for "evidence" or "clues" during appearances?: Totally. It's such fun. I'm all about the fun.
Do you really think they mean anything?: Well, everything means something. I don't think that it means they're having sex. But I like to pretend that it does. And if it really does(and the guys came out), I would totally claim that 'I knew'. I mean, I don't. But I would totally say I did.
Does your family know you read/write slash?: I doubt it.
What do/would they think?: My dad and brother would possibly be horrified. Mom probably wouldn't care.
How about your friends?: I need me some friends, stat. I suppose Fox counts. Hey, Fox, I love you, baby. Brooding reads the stuff, so he doesn't get to count.
What do/would they think?: I don't know. It would depend on who they were, I suppose. The point is a moot, since all of my friends are of the online variety. I believe that Fox is mildly amused by my boylove tendencies.
What's the best part about this fandom?: The stories. The people. The fun. The willingness to see the boys' dorkiness. Just everything.

Today is a good day.
Oct. 7th, 2001 05:50 pmTomorrow will be a good day. As will all of the days following it. I can only control my own actions and attitude.
Today is a good day.
I saw Cats with my mom today. We went to the box office and asked if there were any tickets left. We ended up with seats H4 and H5. Wonderful show. Only $23.
And I'm terribly happy that she's awake. I was so worried about her. I do need to find out what hospital she's in.
I'm going to have my mom listen to Ready to Fall as Joey is one of the two *NSYNC members that she's willing to say is attractive. (Lance is the other.)

Random surveys. Yay.
Oct. 7th, 2001 06:22 pmWhat was the...
last movie you saw: Zoolander, on the big screen.
last movie you saw on the big screen: Zoolander. Wherein there was much enjoyable and a couple of seconds of Lance.
last phone number you called: My dad, to organize my visit with him.
last show you watched on TV: The premiere of Andromeda. It was really good.
last song you heard: Roses in the Hospital by the Manic Street Preachers. Before that, *NSYNC singing the Star-Spangled Banner.
last thing you had to drink: Coke
last time you showered: This morning. So...8 and a half hours ago.
last thing you ate: McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, which I am shamelessly addicted to.
Do you...
smoke? Nope. Never have. Got enough of that when I was a kid and my parents smoked. The faintest whiff makes me sick to my stomach.
do drugs? Well, I take an anti-depressant... but no, I don't use any illegal drugs.
have sex? Not yet. I have hopes for my freshmen year, though.
sleep with stuffed animals? No. I would always manage to kick or knock them off the bed, so I stopped keeping them on there. I do have a nice collection though. I've got a simple enormous bear that I adore.
have a crush? At this moment? There is this guy in my Math class who seems nice. And he looks good in jeans.
have a boyfriend/girlfriend? No. Dude, now you're depressing me.
have a dream that keeps coming back? No. Unless you count sex dreams. But those tend to be fairly varied. And yeah... TMI.
play an instrument? Counting my voice, I play... one. I do love to sing.
believe there is life on other planets? I'm waiting for further evidence.
remember your first love? I've never been in love. I remember my first crush, the bass who I would stand in front of so that I could hear his voice. He was cute. Like a blue-eyed Lance.
still love him/her? Haven't really seen him lately. I bet he's still a honey.
read the newspaper? I try to. Generally, I read the comics and the Living section before trying to read the other stuff, which is always depressing.
have any gay or lesbian friends? *shrug* Brooding's gay. Fox is bi. I don't know about all of the *Nslashers. Probably some of them are. I'm bisexual.
believe in miracles? Definitely. Our continued existence and the fact that anyone has faith are miracles themselves. Every new life is a miracle. The fact that we haven't been obliterated by an asteroid is a miracle. Lots of miracles.
believe it's possible to remain faithful forever? Yes.
consider yourself tolerant of others? I tolerate most things. I probably tolerate more than I should, although I'm trying to take more of a stand on important issues.
consider police a friend or foe? In general, a friend.
like the taste of alcohol? Beer sucks. Cheap champagne sucks. Some wines suck. Some are okay. That's all I've had to date.
have a favorite Stooge? I feel kinda sorry for the one who always got beat up.
believe in astrology? Not really.
believe in magic? Nope. Not in our world.
believe in God? With all my heart.
pray? I pray informally all the time.
go to church? Not at the moment. Love God, iffy on the structure.
have any secrets? Probably.
have any pets? Mouschi, my sweet little kitty. He's just the fluffiest 8 year old cat in the world. I love him to bits. Mostly, I call him Baby Kitty, but Mouschi's his 'real' name. It means 'smoke' in Swahili.
do well in school? When I turn things in, I do.
go to or plan to go to college? I'm currently attending college.
have a degree? Not yet.
talk to strangers who instant message you? Usually. To find out why they IM'd me at least.
wear hats? Not unless the outfit calls for it.
have any piercings? Just the ears. I've been thinking(quietly, so that my mom can't hear me) about a tongue piercing.
have any tattoos? Not yet.
hate yourself? A little. Less than I used to.
have a horny spot? At least take me out to dinner before asking me something like that.
have a box inside your house that you sleep in because its too damn hot inside that bag of chips? No. Weirdo.
have a best friend? Fox and Brooding. They rock.
wish on stars? Being a sap, yes.
like your handwriting? Hate it. I think that it's messy and ugly.
have any bad habits? I procrastinate.
care about looks? Probably more than I should.
believe in witches? Evil, magic-casting, Satan-worshiping witches? Nope.
believe in Satan? Well, I say Lucifer. Same guy, though.
believe in ghosts? Nope.
believe in Santa? No.
believe in the Easter Bunny? No such beast.
believe in the Tooth Fairy? No, again.
have a second family? I'm part of several communities that might be termed 'families'. *shrug*
trust others easily? I will trust almost anyone with my physical safety. I talk to strangers. I take the bus alone at night.
I have more of a problem being emotionally trusting. I'm working on it and LJ is definitely helping me.
like sarcasm? Yes. Sarcasm rock. And Monty Python should be required viewing for everyone ever.
take walks in the rain? I even do that song and dance from Singing in the Rain. It's fun. And people look at you like you're insane.
kiss with your eyes closed? Wouldn't know.
sing in the shower? On occasion.
own handcuffs? No. That would be kind neat, actually.
