31. Could you be a pirate?
- Yo ho ho, and a bottle of mineral water!
No.

Sunday Stealing: The Ninja Meme, Part One
Yay for writing memes! Here's a Sunday one for y'all:
1. What do you add to your coffee?
- Either a lot of milk/cream and sugar, or a lot of ice cream. If I drink coffee 'black' , I'm pretty sure I will faint with my eyes open.
2. What are you reading now?
- 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes. In other news, I've finished reading a Sherlock Holmes short story today, called 'Gloria Scott'. Or something like that.
3. Do you own a gun?
- I have a poorly functioning water gun. Other than that, no, I haven't a gun.
4. Are you registered to vote?
- Well, taken in the fact that I'm, as of yet, under eighteen, no, I'm not.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments?
What for? I admit, I used to get nervous when seeing the doctor or the nurses, because I used to be a wee squeamish. As in, I hated shots. More particularly, I hated getting shots.
6. What do you think of hot dogs?
- Tasty. Especially with relish, chili, ketchup, mayo, mustard and bbq sauce.
On the other hand, hold everything but the chili.
7. Favorite Christmas Song?
- 'Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)' as sung by Elvis Presley,
'Jingle Bell Rock', 'Santa Baby' as sung by anybody who's not Kylie Minogue, and 'Carol of the Old Ones', even though the latter is hardly very festive.
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
- A cup of milk, sometimes warm milk or hot cocoa. Once in a rare while, I fancy a cup of tea as well.
9. Can you do push ups?
I can. I can even do three. Three small push ups that hardly seem like push ups at all.
10. What was the name of your first boyfriend/girlfriend?
- Alas, I have yet to get a boyfriend.
11. What’s your favorite piece of jewelery?
- My mother's family necklaces; heirlooms from my grandmother and my great-grandmother. I've perhaps worn them once or twice thus far, but they are nevertheless my favorite pieces of jewelry, along with the corresponding rings and brooch.
12. Favorite hobby?
Reading. And playing video/PC games. I guess they tie in, somehow.
13. Do you work with people who idolize you?
- If I do, they sure are hiding their admiration.
14. Do you have ADD?
- No. I don't even have ADHD.
15. What’s one trait that you hate about yourself?
- Having ADD - ha! Just kidding!
On a more serious note, I suppose I dislike my shyness and my stupidity.
Curse those two caitiffs!
16. What’s your Middle name?
The initial is G. More than that you can try to guess for yourself. Haha! Have fun!
17. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment.
- Dinner. School. Short Stories.
18. Name 3 things you bought yesterday.
A few cartons of milk, some pears, and a package of sliced ham.
19. Name 3 beverages you regularly drink.
- Milk, water, hot cocoa.
Is water even considered a beverage? Never mind.
20. Current worry right now?
- Getting more followers on Twitter. Seriously though.
21. What side do you dress to?
- I beg your pardon? I suppose I dress to the decent side.
22. Favorite place to be?
- Anywhere with the people I like/love/admire/respect.
23. How did you bring in the New Year?
- As usual, with a calender. No really, what the?
24. Where would you like to go?
- Vacation-wise, I'd like to visit the US, particularly the South, see my hometown again. I'd also enjoy visiting Canada, and especially I'd love to go to Cuba or Venezuela.
25. Name three people who will see today.
- Three people whom I will see today? If so, then only one person, my mom. Unless chatting with random people on Kongregate constitutes as having seen somebody.
And now, evening has fallen upon us all. I hope everyone had a nice week-end, and I bid a good following week to all.

Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!"
I've recently discovered what writing memes are. So here I am! With inspiration and ready questions to push me off my writer's block. Actually, it's more of a writer's mountain, to which the seat of my pants are superglued.
Current writing position aside, here are the questions, courtesy of Saturday 9, and the respective answers, courtesy of me.
Saturday 9: Reason to Believe
1. Has anyone asked you to believe in something that called for a huge leap of faith on your part?
- As a matter of fact, yes; a chat-friend of mine expected me to become a completely materialist atheist (in a non-consumer sense), despite the fact that I'm more of a moral Christian. That was some time ago, now I'm quite the atheist, although I do fancy a prayer every now and then.
And I'm still a believer in Christ, so.... technically, I'm kind of a materialist Christian. Does that even make sense? I thought not.
2. When is the last time you moved? Why did you move?
- About six and an half years ago. My parents and I moved all the way from South Carolina, USA to Bavaria, Germany. Quite the haul.
3. Malls? ..or one Internet? Are you doing more online shopping this year? The polls say we are, but I'm curious about what the real people are doing.
- Malls, for sure. I don't trust Internet deals, plus shipping the goods takes some time. Therefore, I choose malls above anything online, unless it's something specific that for example my mother really wants. Otherwise, malls all the way.
4. Do you remember the first meme you participated in and if so, what was it?
- Meme, as in a pop-culture, /b/ meme, or a survey-kind of meme, like this one? In case of the latter, this is my first one (that I've published on my blog lololo).
5. If you could invent something, what would it be?
-A new kind of video game genre. Forget the horror games, the first-person shooters, the indie apps and the puzzle downloadables! Wipe away the point-and-click adventures clean from your memory! Open-world? Sandbox? Multiplayer? Minecraft? Ha! They can snuff it, for all I care! I, Dr. Christina Mock, bring you... Non-person-but-person dangerous undertaking! There, you play an NPC-like character, trying to manipulate the true heroes into making the correct decisions, all the while having fun selling them over-priced goodies, that you've worked hard to collect!
Although this idea might actually have been gotten by somebody far smarter than me far before the publishing of this post, I still would love to invent a brand spanking new video game genre.
6. Are you finished with your shopping? Do you still a few things to go? What? Not even a game plan? ...or is there just one person you're having trouble finding something for?
-Not really. I have yet to buy presents and a card for my mom, and some little cutesy presents for a few friends of mine. Also, game plan.
7. What's left to do at your place (or where you are going)? Is the tree up? ...or maybe you're just happy you found the Christmas coffee mug and are calling that good?
-The tree is up, the ornaments are hanging, the garlands are lying all over the place, the glitter is covering the floor surrounding the tree, the Christmas cookies have been and will continue to be baked, and my presents have been bought. Christmas mission nearly accomplished.
8. Is your life turning out the way you thought it would when you were a kid? If not, is it better or worse?
- Haha, as a kid, I had no idea as to what's going to happen to me. Moving to Germany, desiring to become a journalist, dreaming of writing a book, all these things weren't thought of. I guess my life has actually turned out worse than I expected, with a few perks that keep me smiling. Such as discovering my hidden ability to write a poem. And making a mask hurrdurr.
9. Tell us about something you'll miss about 2010.
- Turning 16, to be honest.
Okay, to be really honest: the release of Super Meat Boy and Portal being up for free download.
Awesome sauce.
