The Friday/Thursday... um... Ten.

[eponymous_rose]

Right.  I forgot that I'm doing the Friday Five thing now.  Um.  So here's two weeks' worth, and this week is early to make up for the other being late. *beams*

For July 20th!

1. Have you ever been to summer camp?

Um.  Not an overnight one, no.  *hangs head*  I went to soccer camp a few times as a kid, and I think I went to some sort of artsy thing once (that was ill-advised), but they were all day things.

       2.    Have you ever made a s'more?

Probably not a full-fledged one, but I do on occasion melt marshmallows in the toaster oven and stick 'em on graham crackers.

       3.    Have you ever slept under the stars (no tent/tarp)?

Nope.  I haven't been camping, either.  :D

       4.    Have you ever had a member of the opposite sex sleep over at your house?

At my condo, yeah.  He was hitching a ride to our hometown early the next morning and had a terrible roommate, so we took pity on him and smuggled him into the basement guestroom in direct defiance of our landlords' strict rules.  Don't go telling anyone! :D

       5.    What type of bed do you have (queen, twin, bunk, etc.) ?

Teensiest tiniest little single bed you ever did see, both at my parents' place and here.  I think it's because I have this strange urge to set up desks and bookshelves and things in my room, and so I wind up with little room for bed.

For July 27th ('scuse the wonky formatting, but I spent two hours last night/this morning trying to get an LJ-cut to work in this stupid rich text box, so I'm not even gonna try)

1. What item would you be embarrassed for people to know you own?

Uh.  I dunno.  Maybe my ginormous collection of Pokemon cards in my closet at my parents' place?

2. What is something you splurged on just for you?

My brand-new Hitchhiker's books!  They're so purty.

3. What is something that you own with no real world value that is priceless to you?

I'm a packrat, so probably 90% of my stuff.  I'll say my little beaded ring.

4. Do you collect anything?

Used to collect coins (Canadian), and, um, Pokemon cards.  I'm a collector by nature - just at the moment, via the wonders of the internet and some probability-defying good luck, I'm working on a complete collection of the Eighth Doctor comic books. :D  Gosh, I'm a geek.

5. What item belonging to a friend/family member do you covet?

Uh.  I can't actually think of anything.  Weird.

So there you have it!

Oh, gosh. That's a huge relief. I have a whole cardboard box full of 'em and went to tournaments and everything. *grin*

Did you have Charizard? I totally had Charizard.

I sometimes steal my roommate's GBA and play the games, too.

I've got a binder. With plastic covers and everything.

I was so hardcore.

Did I have Charizard? Of course I had Charizard. He was such a badass. The only one I *didn't* have was Blastouise. Damn Blastouise... *is bitter*

Oh, me too. My younger cousin's friend got the newest game? So stole the thing and played it for a few hours. I would have been ashamed, but I was enjoying myself too much.

Yay! I had a binder as well that I brought to tournaments and things. And I think I still have my tournament-winning decks and the little badges I won at the Toys R Us tournaments and jeez I'm a geek. :D

I bought a really scuffed-up Blastouise from somebody at some point, but eventually managed to trade it up for a nicer one (remember my fast-talking skill thingie? I used it mercilessly in order to get myself better cards. Heehee).

Okay, now I want to pull out those cards next time I go home and see what I can see.

I actually ordered a few packs of Pokemon cards from Japan. Hardcore, thy name is me. Or, um, something.

Those games are really freakin' addictive. I still remember the first time I beat the Elite Four...

*pauses*

Um. This is exactly why I love the Internet so much. UNEXPECTED GEEKINESS! :D

Aww... I must admit, I never went to the tournaments... Was just one of the creepy kids who reorganized their cards a billion times while petting them and mumbling 'precious...'

Er. I mean I was completely normal! *flees*

See, this just proves my point again. I wanted to trade my *first addition Charizard* for my friend's (completely average) Blastouise. I argued with her for hours, and she *still* said no. *dies*

... We ordered stickers of the cards rather than actual cards... I'm pretty sure this makes me a wanna-be-dork... I was hardcore too! *shifty eyes*

Dude, me too! I was so excited! I loved it when I figured out how to get Mewtwo...

It's just because we're awesome/geeky like that.

LONG LIVE GEERKERY!

Ooh, I did the reorganization thing, too! I also compiled lists and checklists and lists again. Of course, this was just after the period where I felt the need to catalogue my entire collection of books by their ISBN. And still my backpack was a mess. *shakes head sadly*

YOU HAVE A FIRST EDITION CHARIZARD?

Um. I mean.

*flees*

*runs back*

LONG LIVE GEEKERY, INDEED!

[imsanehonest.livejournal.com]

You know, I do love organizing books, but I must admit that even I never arranged them by their ISBN.

I feel as if I've failed some grand test of nerdom...

And the Charizard? Yeah I did. *smug*

Me = envy of all of the geeks.
