deannawol1) Sci-fi or fantasy? Why?
This is a tough one. I love both but for different reasons. When gaming, I generally go for fantasy because nothing bar the basic background of the scenario has to be described. Everyone has already grasped that there may be elves walking down main street and the guy that is holding you by the ankle six feet off the ground is probably an orc. It was a time of mysticism, faith, belief, superstition and magic. Everything was possible and noone was shoving physics in your face.
I will generally read fantasy more than sci-fi because the author can let their imagination run wild and unfettered with fantasy. With sci-fi a lot of authors get tied up with how things are possible without exploring the world in general.
However, I will watch sci-fi more on tv and in movies. I have always wondered what is out there, where will humankind be in a hundred years, even 20 years. It gives scope to extrapolate out the worst parts of human civilisation and give rise to your worst fears. This is why I will mainly write in a sci-fi genre. It is why Cyberpunk appeals to me. It takes the modern day society and adds a few what ifs.
2) How would you describe yourself?
I don't generally. Or I do it in such a way that I don't seem fat! *grin* I have brown hair that I don't like the color of, so I dye every so often. I have grey green eyes that I love and change color depending on my mood. I am curvy but too much so.
Personality wise ... I don't know how others see me, but I pretend to be confident, intellegent, nice... I have my share of issues, I know that. But I can be intollerant. I try to be a good listener, but find myself talking more than I would like. I try to be a good friend, but can be naive at times. I take on too many things, and then let myself get stressed. But I live for my friends ...
3) What dream do you wish you'd never woken up from?
I could be literal and tell you that I don't usually dream and if I happen to remember one then it is usually a nightmare and I am always glad to wake up from them. I could be figurative and say that I wish that I had never woken up from the notion that everyone is as nice as you yourself are. I could tell you that it was the daydream that I was having my wicked way with and just before ... But I won't. There was one dream, a long time ago, that I woke up from that intrigued me so much that I really wanted to see how it ended.
I was sitting on the pier of my house (not my actual house, but the house that I lived in in the dream) talking to friends, when I have to go to the toilet. Then I realise that I am in my wedding dress. When I finish in the toilet, I go upstairs to change, but all my wardrobes are filled with baby clothes on baby hangers. My husband (don't know who) walked into the room and started changing... I kept the dress on and wandered downstairs. While walking down the stairs, I saw Robert Vaughn in my sitting room drinking coffee. I went into the kitchen to find my parents shoving an applepie into the cutlery drawer... and then I woke up! Very strange!
