1) What's 8+5? Okay, kidding. How far does your math geekdom go? Hobby? Profession? Education?
lemme go find my calculator . . . :o)
Well I'll start off by saying I'm an engineer. That pretty much says it all. Math is/was education and is profession. Not necessarily 2+2=4 but in a round about way.
I could say its a hobby too. While people are reading or writing I'm sitting doing math puzzles. Especially on airplanes. I am also getting big into Images - geometric drawings.
2) Who would you like to have as your celebrity pen-pal? Would the answer change based on who you could tell about it? How?
Chris. is it sad that I didn't even have to think about that?
seriously though I would just love to be in contact with him and get a glimpse into who he really is. Plus I think it would just be a hell of a lot of fun.
Really I would pick him no matter who I could/couldn't tell. though it would be hard not to share the squee :o)
3) What has been your path through fandom? First fandom? First slash? Favorite fandom?
I've only ever been in one fandom - nsync. So really there's not much of a path. *heh* I was a fan, have been since '98. A friend introduced me to sync!slash in late 2000 - mailing lists and stuff. Another friend got me into LJ some time late in 2001. Early 2002 I started to find other slashers on LJ and meet in person. It was all downhill from there :o)
I have moments when I get frustrated and its not my favorite but its always there and I doubt I'll change.
4) Do you feel that music is very mathematical?
Definately. I'm a musician so that helps. I could spend all day explaining how the base of music is completely mathematical but it would probably bore most people. But in all honesty it just makes sense to me. I think one of the reasons I love music is so much is because it speaks to me and I can understand it on a certain level.
5) Are there stories behind your LJ name and web site name? What are they?
My LJ name really isn't anything too exciting. My first journal was chrisaddict. I decided I wanted a name that wasn't Chris related becuase I had intended on keeping nsync out of my journal (yeah that lasted long). I have a cd of trance music meant for meditation and relaxation, I listen to it to chill out. It's called Dream Trance. enough said.
as far as stories behind my web site names there's a few. (this may take a while)
addicted2chris.com - the site was originally created on geocities and I didn't really have a name for it. In April '00 I decided to buy a domain name for it. I had a long standing joke that I wasn't 'obsessed' with Chris, I was 'addicted' to him. Thus was born the domain name.
orange-jello.com - there really isn't much of a story here. I'm utterly obsessed with the color orange. (as some of you know) and jello is one of my favorite things. put the two together and you get orange jello. (orangefilledoreo was too long *g*)
champagne high - is my fiction page. It's from the Sister Hazel song. I wrote a story based on the song after I created the site. But really the song just speaks to me. At one point I had 3 or 4 icons with lines from the song.
the rest of my sites are pretty self explanatory so I'm gonna stop there :o)
wee that was fun!!! thanksjic
