You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out. (:First NameMelanie, in case you haven't checked my profile. And quite frankly, I can't ask for a better name. It's not a very complicated name (three syllables- easy to write in Japanese, lol), with different pronounciations and spellings depending where you are. (The actual spelling of my name is the French one,
Mélanie.) The meaning is dark/black in Greek, which does seem a little gothic. Well, of course. Where do you think the melan in
melancholy comes from?
AgeI'm 21 years old, but people often say I don't seem that age. Granted, it's explainable- I pretty much stopped growing physically once I turned 14/15. Thus, the illusion.
LocationCanada, but more specifically, the area of the Acadians after the 1755 deportation. Actually, I'm half-Acadian half-Quebecoise, but I've been living in the same area ever since I was born, so I associate myself more with Acadians than the other half.
OccupationIn real life? Unemployed, still looking for a job. Online? Resident Fangirl with too many internet aliases with too many Fandoms and too juch imagination... among other things on the resume she'd tactfully lost to the sands of time.
PartnerSingle, and not interested in romance. Sorry, peeps, move along, move along...
KidsNone. The only kids I do have are on Sims 2, and they're not real. I do like to play Auntie Mel with my cousin's kids...
SiblingsTwo older brother, one 27 and one 25. The three of us get along well, despite me being the only girl. I really love my brothers- it felt kinda awkward at first when they left for their apartment, but now I'm used to... and I can't wait to go there again. We tease each other out of love, really. Games of Cranium Wow with my siblings? Moments of hilarity, I tell you.
PetsJust one dog, Zoey, and it's not even mine- it's my brother's. But he couldn't bring her to the apartment, so she stayed home.
As for my cat, Phoenix... she went outside as always, and never came back. It's been a month or so now, so I'm not really upset... it's more like, I go into the living room at night and it's like, "Oh yeah, Phoenix' not around, feels like she is." It's a more nostalgic thing. I think I kinda got over it easily because she was outside all the time, and... she was 11 years old, you come to expect things like that. But I do miss her.
3-5 biggest things going on in your life1- CHOIR! I'm part of a choir! Apparently I'm soprano (Which is not far off- I'm mezzo-soprano actually) and I cannot WAIT to do the shows this season! It's gonna be so much fun!
2- Christmas. Most people doesn't think it's that much of a big thing sometimes, but when you have a large family like mine and you're steep in tradition, it's a big thing. ...And yes, I've already listened to carols, lol.
3- YVES ROCHER. ...Okay, you're probably wondering "Why is a beauty company a big thing?" Well, let me tell you, I managed to get Christmas gifts for all the women on my list only there, the beauty produces are from nature itself, and has been since its creation, the stuff we get for being a member... there are so many things in there I can talk about, but personally, I think you should go see by yourself.
ParentsI, uh... I simple have a normal relationship with my parents, you know? I don't think there's anything different from them than any other regular, healthy family. We love each other very much as much as we drive each other insane, and quite frankly, we get along very well. Seriously, is there anything else you guys need to know?
Closest Friends...See, this is the wrong question to ask me, because I'm gonna say honestly- "All my friends, online or not, are my closests." I don't go around and pick and choose who's better than who, or who knows me more than who, because in the end, all that matters is that you guys mean a lot to me. So, people, there's no closest friend or better friend. If I refer someone as to my "best friend", it's because that person is pratically a sibling to me, and not because I'm playing favorites.
...I'm such a chatter box. ._.
