Getting over the trip - had a really good day out, running a million errands, even doing a little bit of writing work (from which I have decided to give myself a week off) - the whole plot of a short story set in the Neolithic, featuring one of the many heroes of my childhood imaginings, basically came to me in a waiting room. (Tsuchi, outcast rabbit-woman paladin, my alter ego around age 11. Tell me about yours.)

Plus I randomly decided to have Korean for lunch. Despite my embarrassing lack of the language, I managed to convey that I'd like the tofu seafood hotpot without seafood. Of course you get all these side dishes as well - the famous kimchi, which I actually liked this time (might have been the less spicy version for wimpy weigugin), pickled cucumbers, scrambled eggs in broth, and potato to which something completely delicious had been done. It was COMPLETELY BRILLIANT. I've brought home a "teach yourself Korean" kit so I can at least learn to say "thank you".

You've seen him on telly: Noah: bossy guy, weird bubble-wrap fetish, spends a lot of time bemoaning his lot in life to whoever's around. =:o\

I skipped being a preteen girl by basiclly being a guy for a few years. Was rather fun, I also looked rather like Spike for part of that period.

I spent some years of my teenagery as a boy. Well, sort of - there were boyish mysteries into which my male friends had the good sense not to try to initiate me.

Aah... is it weird that I still frequently fall back on my fictional alter-egos? They help greatly in stressful situations, and when I can't sleep.

I don't have any completely original ones. They're all fanfic, although creeping towards original. The first one was Spock, the second one was an embarrassingly Mary-Sue-ish female incarnation of the Doctor, and the most recent is a gay necromancer based on a nameless and rather faceless little sprite from a video game I used to play.

Only very recently I seem to have lost the habit of writing, or at least imagining scenes, as I fall asleep. (Explains why the characters in my stuff spend a lot of time lying down, I suppose.)

I can't believe I went this long thinking I was the only one who did this.

warm snuggly comfort-after-hurt scenes y/n?

Like the alter ego, I suspect it's one of those widespread phenomena where everyone thinks they're the only one.

So much can be done lying down: being knocked out, dying, recovering, hiding, camping (!), etc

Also: yum, Korean food. :9 I adore kimchi, and yes, as I understand it there are milder varieties (even in places where there are not too many white spice-wimps around). I've had some with cabbage and daikon... that recipe says it can be made with Asian pear, which sounds incredibly yummy.

My default in restaurants is bi bim bap, hold the beef. I'm a vegetarian but not vegan, and I'm a sucker for a good runny egg yolk.

I owe you and John a trip to Sutherland.

Depending on which draft you read of 'Secret Paths', you've met her. Her original name was even more embarrassing.

My very first alter ego was named Hora. Daughter of Horus. Sort of a cross between Supergirl and Princess from Battle of the Planets. The name made perfect sense at the time but doesn't sound too great now.

Her name was Rainbow. I wrote two songs.

You are Ronnie James Dio and I claim my five pounds.
