Stolen from velithya, without even reformatting it.

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

I know you're half-Irish but what's the other half? Do they mastermind conventions too?

[kaitou1412.livejournal.com]

You know....I'm not really sure. No one ever talks about it. I assume that the McHenrys were Scottish, but it's possible they're Irish. I almost hope so because the McHenry tartan is very ugly.

[flidgetjerome.livejournal.com]

Man, you are pretty doomed on that. It's pretty likely that any Irish McHenrys would be a migrated cadet branch of the Scottish McHenrys anyhows.

Now link me your ugly tartan!

Flidget's probably right. Most of my dad's side is various shades of Scot, predominantly Scots-Irish. Ulster Scots family research is hellish.

I just Googled the tartan, and wow, you're right. Most of the ones that popped up are pretty fugly.

Hmm...! I can't ask about your favorite place in Japan, because I already know it was that golf course. XD So, well, what was your favorite thing to do in Japan? Or something about it that you really miss, being back over here. Other than Sambomaster?

[kaitou1412.livejournal.com]

That is a tough question! (And I didn't even KNOW about Sambomaster at the time! I was missing so much!)

I miss karaoke & drinking with the teachers from Futakawa elementary, I miss playing games and singing songs with the elementary students, I miss the hydrangeas everywhere...so many things!

If you could only read and write works set in one historical period and one place, what would it be?

This is evil, I know. Apologies.

I have given this a lot of deep thought, and...damn this is hard, but I'd probably have to go with Regency. There's such a glut of books, both romance, actual time period, and fantasy-of-manners, Napoleonic war stuff that you'd probably have the best chance of finding anything good to read at any given time.

And I have plenty of writing ideas I could set in there. Last Year's was originally going to be a Revency Romance, but I shifted it up to the 20s.

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

That's an excellent answer to a beast of a question.

And shifting Regency to the 20s really makes sense, somehow. Same debauchery, different skirt lengths.

what has been your favourite thing to knit out of all the things you've made so far?
