supernutjapanThese questions were originally suggested by [livejournal.com profile] akarii.
1. What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you?
The road in front of our classroom and people walking.
2. Who was the last person coming into your room?
The dad of the student who came 30 minutes early.
3. What is the most predominant colour around you?
White.
4. What is right behind you?
An orange wall partition separating the office from the classroom.
5. What is on today's calendar sheet?
I have 4:30, 5:30, and 6:30 classes, finish at 7:45, back home. I'll be binging dramas and trying to prepare a craft for our Halloween party this weekend while I do.
These questions were originally suggested by sumrsue79.
1. How long ago did you join LJ (or DW)?
LJ in 2013 (12 years ago?) and DW in '22 (3 years ago)
2. How did you find out about LJ (or DW)?
I found out about LJ at a Supernatural fan site Supernatural TV Forums. I was looking for fellow fans online, found the site, found a link to fan fiction that a member of LJ was posting there, wanted to share my rewatch thoughts and joined there as well. I joined DW when there was an LJ exodus due to worries it would not be supported and Russian/US relations.
I still can't pay for my account at LJ and am squatting for free.
3. If someone introduced you to LJ (or DW), is s/he still on your friends list?
Yes, although she hasn't posted since 2019. She is a published author now and I have a book with one of her stories in it.
4. Have you introduced anyone to LJ (or DW)?
Yes, although none really stuck to it.
5. Is your LJ (or DW) public or friends only, and why?
Public, I guess, since I specify for each post. My LJ, as I explained, was made solely for rewatch reviews so it would not have made sense to make it friends only. I wanted people to find it and I wanted the interaction. The comm has more personal stuff.
DW is about my life mostly so a lot of the posts are friends-locked but I sometimes just forget, sometimes don't care and leave them open so people can get an idea about me. I personally am reluctant to approach people with closed accounts because I can't get to know a person (and the kind of posts they write) before befriending them; although if they show interest in me, I'm willing to take a chance.
------------
Aaaaaarg. I am addicted to BL and now that I've found a site to watch them all at, I can't stop. This is really really bad. The only reason I'm writing this post is because the 30 minutes before class that I had hoped to watch another show has been taken from me by an early arrival of a student. Why is he here 30 minutes early? WHY?
I also have a Halloween event I have to prepare for (this weekend!) but, I think I will end up leaning on notes from previous years.
I don't know if I mentioned this previously, but I am having a terrible time reserving space for events this year. I don't remember it being this hard last year. The internet reservation system has so many steps I'm scared to even check if the room is available and it is also a lottery system so if I lose, it's devastating.
That's about it for now.
