Seen this around, it's been a hot minute since I've done one of these monthly AMA memes. I've not only got some new people following me but I'm also been slightly quiet lately, which happens every so often mainly due to having kind of having a writers block of what to post. I figure that at least with this meme I can get back into active posting with prompts given by others for next month.

How does this work? It's very simple: just PICK A DAY for the month of July and ask me a question to answer on that day :D
You can also ask multiple questions/multiple days if you want to. I'm very open and will answer most anything :)

addme_fandom

Name: Elmyra (not.. like the character from Tiny Toons, like Aerith's mom from FFVII)
Age: I'm 18. Barely an adult, but an adult nonetheless.
Location: The Deep South, USA
Subscription/Access Policy: None. This is my "entirely public" journal where I post fandom stuff and silly life anecdotes. No qualms with minors as my journal is SFW, but I'd prefer anyone under 15 to keep their distance. I would also prefer not to interact with incest or pedophilia shippers, thanks.

Main Fandoms: Blue Lock, Wind Breaker, Tiger & Bunny, The Idolm@ster SideM
Other Fandoms: Vocaloid (or Vocal Synth if we want to get specific), Trauma Center, Promare
I have other random miscellaneous interests that don't take up quite as much brain space as well. I'm very slowly but surely trying to get into other stuff as well.
Fannish Interests: Fanart, fanmade merch, oshikatsu, making fan characters, and attempting to write fic to varying degrees of success.
OTPs and Ships: Let it be known that I am a multishipper, and also a huge OC x Canon fan-- I honestly spend more thinking about my OC x CC ships nowadays than CC x CC ships. Oh, and Background Character x Background Character. Here are some involving canon and at least somewhat-relevant characters I enjoy, though

Blue Lock: Allsagi within reason, no Egosagi, Noasagi, stuff like that. I also don't particularly care for Kaisagi but I don't have an issue with it, just not my cup of tea, but I specifically really enjoy Bachisagi, Kurosagi, Igasagi. Kunigiri, Nagireo, Kainess, Kindness Trio (Isagi/Nanase/Hiori), Tabiori, Tabieta, Aikusen
Wind Breaker: Sakunirei, Momjisaku, Sugisaku, Sugisakunirei, Togatomi, Hiisako, Umetsuba. You can also get me to enjoy Natokon(?) on occasion.
Tiger & Bunny: Pretty much exclusively Taibani.
SideM (I am not super familiar with precise ship names, apologies!): Terukao, Kaotsuba, Reishiki, Natsujun

Favorite Movies: I really only care about Promare and that's about it.
TV Shows: Nothing I haven't already mentioned.
Books: Flowers for Algernon, Things Fall Apart
Music: Oh boy, a little bit of everything? But my favorite artists are Interpol, Abandoned Pools, and sElf. As previously mentioned I'm really into Vocaloid as well.
Games: Trauma Center, Tomodachi Life, Splatoon, Pony Town
Comics/Anime/Misc: See "TV Shows", in reference to anime (or manga). I like science, history, old internet/fandom culture/software, editing, and coding.

Other Info: Pre-med student looking to specialize in forensic medicine. Proud autistic. Sapphic and taken, I have a lovely partner! Infamously attached to side/background characters. Please ignore how my journal is empty, I'm still deciding what to put as my first post. :P

She is satisfied

I got a text from the podiatrist office, telling me that there was an earlier opening for an appointment. (Clever system, I signed onto a waitlist in case something became available.) I contacted catsman to push back our lunch time half an hour, in case the appointment lasts longer than expected.

Made coffee plans with j-wat for next Friday.

I'm finally making progress in Cahokia Jazz, an alternate history/hardboiled mystery - and I've found some quotes I like.

The Algonkian Hotel in Cahokia: "the architect Wright was so pleased with how it had come out, they said, that he was building it again, only bigger, in Japan." The Hotel Imperial! (Frank Lloyd Wright) It survived the great 1923 earthquake.

And this made me really laugh out loud in SJs!

"The conversation wandered onto a takata [Euro-American] from the city called Tom whom the Foundation was helping out while he wrote something earthshaking and worked in a bank in London."

T.S. Eliot! and The Waste Land. He was born in St. Louis, and of course in the novel St. Louis wouldn't exist, it would be part of the city of Chahokia, which in our timeline (i.e. reality) is right across the river from his birthplace. :-)

Who are these masked birds?
Not Robin Hoods,
for they live in
the open woods.
They only deal
in stolen goods
like berry futures,
cedar cones,
and sweet, sweet, fruit
(but leave the stones).
Insects they catch
on the fly
when swarms of them
go buzzing by.
No need to worry,
moan. or fret.
Your valuables
they will
not
get.

but as I was at the corner store somebody poked his head in the store and said "So, I still can't get nothing?" and then, as the cashier picked up the phone "C'mon, you're calling the cops on me again? You already called them on me!"

Well, okay, if he already called them (20 minutes ago, as the phone conversation made clear) then there is no need to ask if you are welcome in the store, because almost anybody could tell you that the answer is no. Whether he was right to call or wrong to call, he's still not going to let you buy anything at this time.

Seriously, what have I done to deserve that?

This morning I watched a collection of shorts where retired racehorses react to hearing the bugle call that tells them a race is about to begin (played on their owner's phone).

This led me to look up

"what is the horse racing trumpet song called"

(catsman would point out that it is not a song. A song has words, except for a few specially called 'a song without words.')

It's "First Call."

This lead me to the Bugle Call Wikipedia page. I like listening to the samples. Some have given words, as in the last part of Reveille:

"The corporal's worse than the privates,
The sergeant's worse than the corporals,
Lieutenant's worse than the sergeants,
And the captain's worst of all!"

And while we're at it, here's an example of an elk bugle.

Other than that:

In late morning I spent an enjoyable hour on the SJs terrace, reading. And, oh yes, I made an appointment with a podiatrist.

So this is a post about two things that happened a month or two apart, a few months after I had turned 12. I am sure that someone, somewhere, has covered these events and maybe tied them together, but this also follows the fact that I was specifically 12 years old. Also, by chance, both of these things involve African-American men, but that doesn't directly bear on how it affected me...

In 1991, Clarence Thomas was nominated to be a Supreme Court Justice. Shortly afterwards, a former subordinate, Anita Hill, came forward, and revealed that she had been sexually harassed repeatedly by Clarence Thomas. He was still confirmed.

Sexual harassment has been a periodic thing, probably the last time it came to the fore was "#metoo", which I guess at this point is almost a decade old? But this was one of the times when it came up the strongest. I was a smart 12 year old and read the newspapers, and followed the story.

A month later, in 1991, Magic Johnson announced that he had HIV. This was pretty dramatic news. It might be hard to believe now, but at the time, HIV was still mostly called "AIDS", and it was still very much a "gay disease". The idea that someone could get HIV from heterosexual sex was pretty shocking, and it allowed things that were formerly forbidden to be discussed openly...stuff like using condoms!

But for me, both of these things were pretty difficult, because I was 12 years old, and a pretty awkward 12 year old at that, and while just dealing with the most basic giddy preteen crushes, this started happening in the background. Just as I was trying to figure out what the rules were for flirting, and thinking about whether I would ever maybe hold hands or go to a jr high dance...the cultures rules were changing. I was trying to figure out the "normal rules" for developing, but suddenly, and dramatically, those rules were changing.

This is a post that discusses sexuality and the like. Not in detail, this is more about relationships, but I will make a cut anyway...

"Two partially intoxicated men engage in a fight with their great-coats on. ... A long contest, ended in each having fought himself out of his own coat, and into that of the other."

I will cut this for gore and animal death (no cruelty, just nature):

( Cat left an animal on my doorstep... )

Of course, it was a bit unpleasant, but I know predation and scavenging are part of nature.

'Buying new shoes' was on my to do list for the month, but somehow I kept postponing it. I almost did it again, because 'today is my dental appointment', of all silly reasons.

The dental appointment was at 2:00, and I had all the morning (well, after 10) to buy shoes. So I did.

My walking shoes were pretty warn down, and my heel started hurting - on Sunday, I think. My first thought was oh no planters fasciitis. Then I thought, shoes. Get new shoes as a first step (p.s. they need minimal breaking in).

I'll see what it's like for a few days. I have to almost teach myself how to walk correctly on my right foot, as I've been doing a kind of roll to theside because of pain. If there isn't much progress I'll contact a podiatrist.

The thing is, I have just over two months before I go on a vacation that includes considerable (city) walking!

BUFFY: Kathy's evil. I'm an evil fighter. It's simple... I'm gonna have to kill her.
WILLOW: You have to kill her? Don't you think you could just switch rooms, or something?
BUFFY: Well I would, but it's not just me in danger from Kathy. Look.
WILLOW: Toenails?
BUFFY: Evil toenails. I took them off the floor last night when she was in the bathroom. She thought I was asleep.
WILLOW: Good thinking, 'cause in the middle of the night those toenails could have attacked you and left little half-moon marks all over your body.
BUFFY: Don't be ridiculous. The point is I measured them before I fell asleep and again this morning, and they grew. After they were cut! That's a demon thing, she has to be eliminated.

In a short period of time we've got the announcements that: the 2026 Christmas special for Doctor Who has been cancelled, showrunner Russell T. Davies (along with Bad Wolf TV) is exiting the show, and that the show itself won't be returning to television for some time as it's going to be shopped around.

Contrary to what's been circulating around online, only the Christmas special, which was originally planned to air this year, has been confirmed to be outright cancelled. Otherwise Doctor Who the show is just going on an indefinite hiatus until further notice. Of course this has led to much arguing over semantics, debating and speculating whether it'll just be a handful of years as the tender process is occurring or it could be another decade and a half gap like before, and questioning whether it'll continue where the RTD's Disney Plus version of the show left off or start anew.

( I have thoughts on all of this. )

So yeah, it's been quite a doozy within the Doctor Who fandom.

She is okay

Nathan: "These Reevaluations are always a bit of a mixed blessing. Sad as we lose one of our own. But also hopeful as we turn towards the future and - promote one of our own. - Lilah. You have made a lot of great contributions and I know you have tried your very, very best..."
Lilah: "No!"
Lindsey: "Lilah. Please. They chose me. - I'm clearly the guy."
Nathan Reed: "Yes, you are."
Lindsey: "You could've had it. - But you didn't have what it takes. An evil hand. - I mean, come on, who here does, huh? Leon doesn't. - Charlie doesn't. You do know you gave me an evil hand, right? I've been writing 'Kill, kill, kill' on everything. It's crazy. It's crazy. Anything could happen!"

Semi-drama this week: car-related.

It started when I drove to cz_moon's neighborhood for coffee Sunday morning. My 'low air in tire' light came on, in fact indicating the right front tire. I drove carefully there and back again.

I knew I should take my car to the garage as soon as it opened on Monday (8 a.m.) - so I did. The new guy was very .. well, "we have 35 cars with appointments today, we'll try to take a look at it but we can't guarantee..." I left my car there and took the bus home.

Somehow I managed to talk myself out of an anxiety attack. At worst it could be like this: I'd ask

ordenchaz to drive me to pick up meals that day. If the car wasn't ready by 11:30 on Tuesday, I'd tell kitgordon that he'd have to drive to the book group potluck. My Wednesday dental appointment? I could take the bus.

I got a call in late morning saying that the car needed two new front tires, and a wheel alignment. Fine. The tires would be ordered from a distributor, and should be delivered by 2 o'clock.

At 4:00 the garage called me to let me know that the tires were delivered later than they had expected. They'd make sure they'd have a mechanic work on it as soon as they got to the shop the next morning (today).

I got a call that it was fixed and ready to pick up, about 9:30 this morning. I said I'd had started to worry. I had believed his promise, but "what if... what if the earth spun off its axis and something went wrong!" :-)

So I picked up my car (took the bus and walked ten minutes), and had enough time to stop at the co-op, then go home and relax a bit, before heading off to pick up kitgordon.

I felt decidedly relaxed when I got back this afternoon.

addme_fandom

I'm in a new (to me) fandom now, so I figured it was a good time to post my interests here, in case there are fans looking for others who share some niche favorites that you don't find too often...

Name: Cat

Age group: Fandom elder

Country: USA
Posting Habits: I usually post several times a week. 98% of my posts are fandom-related. That's why I'm here.
Dealbreakers: Conservative Republicans, fascists, 'phobes of all stripes, racists. I'm liberal and queer, for the record.

Subscription/Access Policy: Feel free to subscribe, I will do the same if we have similar interests. The majority of my journal posts are unlocked, so you aren't missing much by not having access. That means I may not grant access until after I've known you a while (depending on our mutual interests).

Main Fandoms: Miami Vice is my main #1 obsession right now.

Other Main Fandoms: (in timeline order) Star Trek, Starsky and Hutch, Quantum Leap, The Sentinel, Moonlight (TV), Torchwood, Leverage, Good Omens. I never leave any favs behind, once I love them I never stop. I'm always up for discussions about them, and still write fanfic in many of them.

Fannish Interests: I am a huge shipper of everything: m/m, m/f, f/f, and multi, but the majority of my current interests are m/m.
More Fannish Interests: I read and write fanfic, I like to make banners, icons, mood boards, music playlists, too. I do Miami Vice slashy episode recaps over on Tumblr.

OTPs and Ships: Sonny/Rico, Hardison/Parker/Eliot, S/H, Sam/Al, Jim/Blair, Mick/Beth, Josef/OMC/OFC, Janto, Aziraphale/Crowley. I mostly stick with the obvious (canon partners, friends, etc.).

Favourite Movies: I don't watch many movies these days, but a lot of my favs are those great 1980s classics. I love the Donald Strachey Mystery series, and Star Trek AOS.

TV Shows: I love a lot of shows from the 1970s and 1980s. I'm a nostalgia whore, and I love talking about the oldies. In addition to the ones listed above: The Equalizer (2021 Queen Latifah), Star Trek Discovery, Broadchurch, The X-Files, Red Dwarf, Blake's 7, Veronica Mars, Riptide, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, Hardcastle & McCormick, Crossing Jordan, Doctor Who.

Other Characters: characters I don't usually ship but adore. Martha Jones, Rose Tyler, James Kirk, John Doggett, Robyn McCall (Equalizer).
Music: 1970s/1980s classic Rock, especially hair bands. Alt-rock from the 1990s. R&B (always listened to the Quiet Storm!), Motown. I'm pretty eclectic, although I don't go for much Country or Classical, and I'm not up on most of the current popular stuff.

Artists: LP, Melissa Etheridge, Daughtry, Poison, Kiss, 3 Doors Down, Tom Jones. I love a lot of songs from a variety of artists, but I rarely like enough songs by one artist to really consider myself a huge fan of theirs. The ones above are an exception to that.

conuly

Would you like to throw a stone at me?
Here, take all that’s left of my peach.

Blood-red, deep:
Heaven knows how it came to pass.
Somebody’s pound of flesh rendered up.

Wrinkled with secrets
And hard with the intention to keep them.

Why, from silvery peach-bloom,
From that shallow-silvery wine-glass on a short stem
This rolling, dropping, heavy globule?

I am thinking, of course, of the peach before I ate it.

Why so velvety, why so voluptuous heavy?
Why hanging with such inordinate weight?
Why so indented?

Why the groove?
Why the lovely, bivalve roundnesses?
Why the ripple down the sphere?
Why the suggestion of incision?

Why was not my peach round and finished like a billiard ball?
It would have been if man had made it.
Though I’ve eaten it now.

But it wasn’t round and finished like a billiard ball;
And because I say so, you would like to throw something at me.

Here, you can have my peach stone.

bluesail_tobyx and I were trying to remember the name of a song. It was not sung by Fred Astaire, but while looking at his credits we found many a memorable song. This is one.

-

I forgot if I mentioned this before, but I have a gig job that pays 17 cents a minute. What I do is sign up, and when people call in, I get pay 17 cents a minute, for a 15, 30 or (sometimes) 60 minute phone call. And, more specifically, I am giving them English conversation practice. I am an ESL teacher with a real job, but I used to use this between classes. During the pandemic, it saved my sanity!

I can also sign up for something called a "Priority Hour". During this time, I agree to take all calls, and if I don't get any, it defaults to 15 minutes of pay. And today...there were no calls. So I sat at my computer for an hour reading, and then got paid $2.55

This sounds ridiculous, but I basically did it because I wanted to make my day into a "work day", like I feel better that I tried to work in some way.

conuly

but I am certain that the lieutenant’s eyes are not lambent.

Somebody needs to remove that word from the word a day calendars, I swear. Replace it with uxoricide or inchoate.
