Manda's Meme
Hello, my lovely LiveJournal friends!
I'm bored. So I... made a meme? Is that something one can just do? Well, I'm gonna give it a go. It's only seven questions long (I'll post them with my answers first and then a blank version at the end if you want to play), so if you're a bit bored too, we can entertain each other! :)
1. How long have you been on LiveJournal?
Technically I've been on LJ since my first year of college (2006) as part of one of my freshmen orientation classes, but that was a totally different journal (for which I no longer remember any login information, so it's just floating in the internet abyss somewhere). For my current journal, I've been here nearly a year now! (I joined November 2015.)
2. How did you come up with your online name(s)? Does it have any special meaning?
Again harking back to my freshman year of college, there was this one random line that sort of just popped into my head: 'Dancing adrift, the moments are filled with illogical bliss.' I don't know where it came from or what inspired it, but it felt like it pretty accurately described me and my life, so it stuck. I've been Dancing_Adrift in most online capacities ever since.
3. Why did you join LJ?
I joined very specifically so that I could participate as an artist in the 2016![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_j2_bigbang. I ended up participating in a couple other challenges before that one, but that was what finally motivated me to sign up.
4. What do you like about LJ? What keeps you active here?
Absolutely the fandom - the writing/arting challenges, the community, the collaboration. So, you guys :) ♥
5. Do you remember what made you add me as a friend? If so, what was it?
Well, I didn't have to add myself, so... But I'll answer this for anyone who comments below with their own answers! :)
6. Where in the world do you live? (Feel free to be as specific/unspecific as you'd like, lol. I just like seeing how far spread my online friends are :))
I live in the lovely city of Duluth, Minnesota, on the shores of the Great Lake of Lake Superior, in the USA :)
7. Tell me one random/happy/good thing about your day! :)
Who would have thought this'd be the hardest question? Lol. And I came up with it!! Um...
OH! I ordered Jared's wine from Nocking Point! Supernatural (and specifically Jared) and wine [bottles] meet? THIS WAS SPECIFICALLY CREATED JUST FOR ME, I SWEAR. There was absolutely no question that I had to have it, so I ordered the two pack. I'm so freaking excited. And I'm even looking forward to trying the wine itself XP Also, pretty cool that part of the proceeds go toward's Stephen Amell's 'F%ck Cancer' organization. All around an awesome no-brainer.

So yeah, that's it! If you'd like to participate in my silly little meme, you can copy/paste the blank questions (in the scroll-box below) either into the comments here, or in your own journal. I do hope to see answers from at least a few of you so we can all kill boredom together (and maybe get to know each other a little bit better :))! Hope you all are having wonderful days. ♥
P.S HUGE THANKS to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akintay for the coding to make the neat box with the scrollable html for copy/pasting (which I see in challenge claims instructions posts all the time). Thanks for being awesome! ;)

Since 2008 though it never feels like it's been that long.
2. How did you come up with your online name(s)? Does it have any special meaning?
My online name is a hold over from my time writing Aerosmith fanfic. I wanted something that would tie me to the band but not be too obvious at the time and I hit on Simoriah which was a song title on one of the band's albums. In particular I latched on to a set of lyrics in it that went "long hair, blue eyes, she drives me crazy" which sort of matched my looks at the time and it's just transitioned with me to SPN fandom especially since Simoriah is easily shortened to either Sim or Simmy. *winks*
3. Why did you join LJ?
For a safe place to repost my Aerosmith fanfic for a new audience but after awhile I dropped out of that entirely and got hooked on this strange little show called Supernatural and I've never looked back since. LOL
4. What do you like about it? What keeps you active here?
I like the groups that host all the different writing challenges. Granted tumblr has tried to take on some of that but it's not quite the same as being able to go to a group and scroll through oodles of fics. Those challenges are what keep me active even when fandom is being its usual roller coaster self.
5. Do you remember what made you add me as a friend? If so, what was it?
Saw your entry in akintay's friending meme and commented when I saw we had something in common then friended because you seemed like a cool person to get to know.
6. Where in the world do you live? (Feel free to be as specific/unspecific as you'd like, lol. I just like seeing how far spread my online friends are :))
Northwest Arkansas for now at least, we just recently purchased a house back "home" in Missouri and will hopefully be moving through the holiday season.
7. Tell me one random/happy/good thing about your day! :)
I got my hair cut! LOL I know that's definitely probably something most people would be like "so?" about but for me, having not been able to make the time to go to the salon in two years, it's a relief. I make a habit of growing my hair out long, I mean like down to my waist long, so that I can donate it but this was probably one of my longest times between haircuts even since I started doing that.
no subject
Aerosmith fanfic, huh? Can't say I knew that even existed until just now, lol. Cool! I'm glad you stuck around long enough to get caught up in SPN fandom, too ;)
Friending memes ftw!
Totally know what you mean about the haircut! *Especially* after going so long without one!! Pretty sure I've gone two years before, too, and holy cow is that refreshing when you finally go in to have it chopped.
Oh dear, moving over the holidays! Good luck!!!
Thanks for taking the time to answer my silly questions ^_^
no subject
Amen to the haircut being refreshing, totally looking forward to not having to wait an hour or more for the damn mop to dry out especially with everything else going on.
I'm both excited and stressed silly over trying to get the cogs in gear for packing up and moving. I love our new house though since I essentially get my own loft apartment area, it's just a matter of packing up over a decade's worth of stuff and clutter that I'm not looking forward to. *headdesks*
