raloria

Ok, just came up with this idea for a meme (my 2nd one ever). It's sort of like a game, but memes are often game-like right? This will probably be a dud, but oh well!
Let's see who gets it!


When I say Samantha Stormer
you say...

Been thinking about doing a Friending Meme. Remember those?

LJ seems so quiet lately and I thought maybe a Friending Meme would help us make some new connections and friends and hopefully rebuild our Friends Lists a bit. The meme would be SPN-based, of course, for the most part.

So what do you think?

Late to the party as usual, but I always feel a little wrong participating in these things, so I have to talk myself into it every time.

Late to the party, as usual, but this is what happens when your online time is cut back dramatically...I miss things.

Was bored Friday night and took this little quiz. I'm pleased with the results...and I actually do like pink a lot. :)

Another answer to my Ask Me A Question Meme.
Yes, you can still leave me questions if you'd like.

peepingdru asked: How/where did "Raloria" happen??x0x0x0

I've been asked this a lot since joining LJ. :)

Back in 2005 or so I was in a scriptwriting class in college and working with a story I'd started on a few years prior. It's sort of a Sci-Fi/Fantasy piece and while I was able to come up with some place and character names on my own, I also used a name generator online. One of the names it spit out was Raloria and I liked that for the name of the planet in my story.

Of course, at this same time a certain TV show called Supernatural appeared on the scene and took over my heart and mind, along with Jensen Ackles (though I knew him previously from Dark Angel). So while I was working on my script for the class, I realized the lead, hero character would be perfect for Jensen to play. Soon I was writing the character with him in mind. When I joined LJ in 2006 and needed a username, the names from my script were very fresh in my mind and Raloria I became. :)

Btw, the story/script is still unfinished though I know exactly how it all ends. I simply haven't had the time to work on it again. I think about it a lot though.

Ok, it's time to start answering your questions (thank you, btw) and I start with this one by daisychain1957:

When do you sleep Val and for how long, you post at all hours of the day and night?

I realize it often seems like I never sleep, but believe me, I do. My body actually LOVES to sleep. LOL More on this in a bit.

The short answer is that I usually do all my daily posts late at night or to be precise in the early hours of the morning before I go to bed. Then there are other posts that I set up to be schedule-posted later. Comes in quite handy when you want to post something right away because you have the time at the moment, but you realize it's a bad time to be posting something to LJ (like when everyone on the east coast of the US is still in bed).

I usually do my Daily On The Set post over at spn_ontheset first, then I do the SPN Goes Black & White or the Daily Fanart post (if it's the weekend or whatever), third is my SPN Name That Cap 4 Challenge (on Tuesdays & Fridays), and finally...I wrap it all up with the Just 'Cause post. By then it's 3, 4, 5, or later in the morning and it's way past time for bed. :P

But lately, my life has changed a bit and I'm having to get to bed a bit earlier (and wake up WAY earlier - UGH!)...so moving up my posting times to just after midnight is a real pain! LOL But I'll adjust somehow.

My body loves to sleep though, and I'm often taking naps so don't worry that I'm not getting enough my friends. Sometimes I only get 5 hours each night, but I inevitably end up taking a nap after supper. This is because I get sleepy after I eat. Unless I'm doing something more physical than websurfing I will nod off for an hour or so. Sadly, this almost always messes up me for sleeping later on when I should be in bed. It's a constant struggle. But usually I can sleep at the drop of a hat. I suspect some of that came from my college days when I sometimes had to grab a cat nap in a busy, noisy library.

I hope that answers your question. Sorry for getting long-winded. :P

Feel free to ask me more questions over HERE.

Some of my flisters did this last month, so I figured I'd give it a try for the new year. :)

Ask me about anything: fandom, Supernatural, capping, fanart, filmmaking, art journaling, real life...whatever.
I'll then post the questions and my answers.
