Ask me anything!

I'll probably answer. I'm pretty blabby. I know you're supposed to select days and stuff, but ain' nobody got time for that. You wanna know how much I weigh, what my favorite coffee is, am I a natural blonde, have I ever killed a man...I'm an open book.

Oh gosh, I'm so tempted to ask something related to fandom, but instead, I think I'll ask this. Have you ever been to NZ? If yes, what did you like about it? If not, what would make you come visit?

Oh god, that sounds such a lame question, now that I think about it, so in the spirit of getting to know each other, I'll ask this: how long have you lived where you live and what do you love about it? Conversely, what drives you crazy about it?

Feel free to bounce the same question back at me, hehe.

Ask me fandom stuff, it's cool! :D

I have never been to NZ, and I don't think I could survive the flight. I'm a terrible traveler, afraid of planes...my anxieties keep me grounded. I have traveled, but it's been pretty much hell for me!

I've lived where I am now for thirty years. I grew up all over--my dad was military--so when I think my kid has only lived in one place her whole life it's really weird! I love that our town is racially diverse, and it's close to two major cities--New York and Philadelphia. What drives me crazy? Not much--we've had problems over the years with folks getting out of hand(mostly fools from the city thinking that the suburbs are the country and they can get away with all manner of craziness) , but we've always been lucky and never had too many problems personally.

And yes, same questions, back at ya! :D

Ooh goody, so first, fandom question. Which is your favourite fandom out of Supernatural and Smallville? Also, your favourite slash and het pairing out of both?

I've lived in NZ all my life. The first 30 years I lived in a small city near the bottom of the North Island. I've never been to the South Island (shame on me, *g*). I lived about 12 years in Auckland, which is our biggest city, but never again. If it wasn't the cost of rent that drove me nuts, it was the transport (public and private). It's pretty much grid-locked in the mornings. I now live in a city that is about 150kms from Auckland.

I don't know if you've ever listened to a band called Crowded House (there's a song covered in Smallville called Don't Dream It's Over, and contrary to popular belief, Crowded House is not an Australian group, considering it was founded by a Kiwi). Anyway, they have a song called Four Seasons in One Day and that's our climate really - well, in the North Island. Other than that, our summers are a lot milder temperature wise than America.

I've been to the States - three years ago. I'd love to come back, but not if a certain person gets into office. I spent most of my vacation on the East side of the country - if I'm right about where you are, I have a friend who lives a few miles away from you, and I stayed with her for a few days, then travelled down to Baltimore.

What I love about New Zealand is that it's so laid-back. Visiting America was great, but as much as I love my two BFFs (one in NJ and the other in Baltimore), I wouldn't want to live there. Prices seem low but wages are low by comparison. It does drive me crazy that everything here is comparatively more expensive, but then we don't have tipping culture here, so I guess it evens out.

Sorry, I've practically written a novel, but I liked your idea of asking questions in the getting-to-know-you kind of spirit. I may just run with it myself :)

Oh, this is lovely! Sadly, I'm off to work now, (work on a Sunday--what madness is *this*???) but I'll comment tonight! :D

A fandom besides SpN or SV? Well I'm starting to like The Magicians very much. I also love Walking Dead. I watch a few shows, but only feel fannish about these.

My fav slash pair for SV has always been Clex. That never changed. My fav pair for SpN is Dean/Sam, but I also liked a bit of Dean/Benny, and I have this strange liking for Sam/Cas. Absolutely no Cas/Dean! I have no het pairing for either of them. The only het pair I shipped like crazy was a pair on Scrubs. They were terrible people who made me laugh! They were horrified to discover that they were in love with each other, and I kind of liked that. :D

New Jersey!! Where does your friend live in NJ? If you ever come back, we have to try and get together! :)

I think this state is so damn expensive to live in but that's because we're between New York and Philadelphia and the relatively rich people drive all the prices up and squeeze us poor folks. It's a crummy situation.

My friend lives in Bridgewater. I think she's on your friends list. She's a lovely, lovely person and an awesome friend. As are you, my dear. I have plans to see a few people on my friends list when I do return to the States. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all gather in the same place and meet each other?

I had lunch once at a restaurant near my friend's place and I couldn't believe the price. Even when I took currency conversion into account. But I think when you take into account wages, tips etc, it's pretty much the same.
