The Meme


1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?
My name is Rada Khorkina. I've never really had a nickname, I mean, what's shorter than Rada?


2. Interesting... what's your current age?
21 years old....and still trying to get out of the humble life. -_-

3. Uh huh. What's your favorite food?
Well, I would love to have a fine meal, but I'm used to eating the basics for survival between jobs. Oh, I would love something luxurious like a fancy dessert.

4. And your favorite drink?
Spiced apple cider.


5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?
Unfortunately my nomadic gypsy lifestyle has kept me from having a permanent relationship. I enjoy the company of men (especially rich ones), but I've never gotten too close to them. There was only one exception...back in the gypsy camp....but he's long gone now.


6. Aww! Have you two kissed yet?
I've kissed many, but the only kisses worth remembering was at age 17 in the gypsy camps.


7. Classic question! What's your favorite color?
Deep reds and greens.


8. Who's your favorite author?
Ah reading.....I read maps and bounty posters. haha. If I had a favorite author, it would most likely be one who writes dark comedies.

9. Now what's your biggest fear?
Being completely alone, destitute, and unloved.


10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing *bursts out laughing*
*unsheathes twin daggers*


11. Awesome. Who's your hero?
My gypsy dad. He taught me all there was to know about tracking and rural survival.


12. Ok, who is your worst enemy?
Poverty. I can't say I make too many enemies since I keep moving around. Though I must say that Mako guy is probably not happy about me hitting him with a frying pan....whoops. If he didn't have a bounty on him I wouldn't have done it, but I need the $$$$!


13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?
Well, that would be fun. Maybe dad would have the same idea I did. haha.


14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?
I'd prod him into writing more story! How can we progress if we're still stuck on ch.3?


15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Well, I'm already grown up. Let's just say I'd like to be financially and socially secure.

16. What's your worst nightmare?
The first year after my camp disbanded I was all alone. Food was scarce and I nearly starved to death. I did some things I wasn't proud of to survive. I still wake in a cold sweat from remembering the hard solitude I had to endure.


17. What's your lifelong dream?
I would love to have my own shop and home. Mabye write down all the stories I've heard and told in life. I hope to capture the heart of every gentleman I meet whilst living freely to do what I want. Maybe I'd like to settle down with somebody I love and have some children. That would be fun, teaching kids all my gypsy rogue tricks. hehe.

18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true?
Be the happiest person in all of Steel Horizon, no the world.


19. Ok, where's your favorite place to relax?
I like to travel, not necessarily relaxing, but enjoyable. Sleeping just about anywhere brings relaxation too.


20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?
Odd-jobs to make money, bounty hunting, meeting new friends, the usual.

21. We're done! Now tag whoever the hell you want
Well, I suppose I'll tag whoever is in DOS4's story in Darker Nature.

The Meme


1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?
Sabriel. Just Sabriel since last names can lead to discovery. My crew mates call me Sab, but mostly use my whole name.


2. Interesting... what's your current age?
Almost 21, I can't believe after all these shenanigans I'm still here. haha.

3. Uh huh. What's your favorite food?
Chocolate and Indian food, together.

4. And your favorite drink?
RUM, and VODKA! I enjoy the mixed drinks too since I have that lovely hangover begone potion, hehe.

Ian. But that damn Goblin King has always been a temptation...


6. Aww! Have you two kissed yet?
Both of them actually, one more often than the other.


7. Classic question! What's your favorite color?
Purple and Green.


8. Who's your favorite author?
Well, when I'm not being first mate to the Captain, I enjoy almost anything historical. Think of it as inspiration.

9. Now what's your biggest fear?
Losing the Captain, the crew, and everything I've ever had.


10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing *bursts out laughing*
*thrusts dagger from belt hilt* Still laughing?

11. Awesome. Who's your hero?
Anne Bonney and Mary Reid, the most kickass females to ever roam the Caribbean.


12. Ok, who is your worst enemy?
Anyone who hurts my captain is no friend of mine. That and clowns.


13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?
Hahaha, well when HASN'T that happened? Just means another adventure.


14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?
I've met Shadow multiple times all wierd and otherworldly experiences. Sometimes if I wonder there's another one out there who decided how I'd behave and what not....Gives me a chill thinking about it.

15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Famous, free, and happy. I love adventure and friends so I suppose I'm in the right place.


16. What's your worst nightmare?
Another awkward encounter with the Goblin King in which things that shouldn't be said/remembered are revealed.

17. What's your lifelong dream?
Become the next Anne Bonny without the imprisonment/loss of love part. Traveling the world and maybe having some pirate babies. haha.


18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true?
Enjoy it.


19. Ok, where's your favorite place to relax?
I don't relax, I'm always up to something. Currently there's no time to relax until we find Tabitha. Well, I suppose the bedroom is a relaxing environment.


20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?
Pillage, plunder, get caught up in Tabitha's schemes, etc. A good life in general.


21. We're done! Now tag whoever the hell you want
Right then.

I tag whoever has a character in the Siren's Song, anyone who has an oc, etc.

I've got a million things to do, but Disney ruined my sleeping schedule with another late night 3 am Emporium shift. Good thing we don't sell slingshots because I would be aiming at the mannequin/animatronics above the store.
Possibly transferring to CSULB if they like me.
My film projects range from meh to EPIC.

I made a gorget (neck protection) for fighter practice and found that I in fact do like making leather armor bits. I must say I've never had such a hard time cutting leather before. I was equipped with water and an exacto knife to cut my pattern. Do we see the difficulty? lol.

I've been feeling really lazy recently and am rather ashamed that I never turned in my entry for earthenrose's contest. But I will rectify my blahness by finding out how to post that damn movie on youtube. Until then, I'll keep you posted.

I strained my eyelid somehow and now it hurts whenever I blink. Since I tend to blink quite often, I've been considering an eye-patch.

In other news, school is relentless as ever and I've got a myriad papers to write. But, I've managed to put a few deviations up for anyone's viewing pleasure. I've also been considering writing some more short stories, however, they might not show up online. The Legend of Zelda fan-fic seems to be decently recieved. If anyone else has an ideas and/or suggestions about other minor background characters, I'd be happy to listen.

I think the Hero of Time fan movie might finally be released. About time too. Hopefully it is and I didn't just jinx it. 0_0

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep yet. For a little bit I had some insomnia issues. 0_0 A Tyler Durden incarnate? No, just a college-stressed student.

Goodness I'm turning 20 soon. I wish the economy was better so all my real-life friends and I could do the high school road trip we never did. -_- We'd be fine. Just as long as we didn't rent a cabin in the woods and read from the Book of the Dead. lol.

Last update: I'm training to be a knight/fighter in the SCA. I hope I don't get lazy and I can really kick some armored ass. lol.

But I've been narrowing it down and I'm not so sure on what to do:

1. Celtic Warrior (Think Kiera Knightly in King Arthur)

2. Some kind of Robin Hood character

3. A sexy English soldier with cake in one hand and a sword (or skull) in the other. CAKE OR DEATH! (Get it?)

4. Ian wants me to go as a sexy witch, but I don't know....feels a little too cliche for me....

I don't really feel noble, but the icon was irresistably cute. lol.

I'm not sure whether to post photo art on DA anymore since everyone seems to be doing that as of recent. Maybe I'll scan my design sketches or do some short stories. But they'd have to be something that I wouldn't mind people reading and or/ possibly downloading...

Eh, I'll think of something. Well, I better study or at least get some food.

Now here's my mini rant. It has to do with fan-fiction stories about Batman's number one nemesis The Joker. 0_0

I understand how fun and intriguing it must be to try to provide a backstory to the enigmatic villain, but that in itself is silly. I've read some where he turned into a mad criminal to avenge the death of his true love, etc.
But honestly, making a backstory, ie giving him motive for his insanity, kills the essential horror in his character. What is more fearful than the unknown? The fact that he has no background or connections makes his lust for destruction all the more scary. So in short, the Joker is a frightening, mysterious villain. Let's leave it that way.

One thing that has amused me....
On imdb I found a film in post-production called Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are Undead. It's about the secret conspiracy tying the story of Hamlet, The Holy Grail, and vampires together. 0_0 Tell me when it starts sounding bad...lol. Sounds like a good laugh to watch though. Probably like a Twinkie for the eye, not good for you, but every now and then we indulge in its crappy yum.

I'm still editing the sound into Goblin's Garden. It's such a tiring process. Ah well, back to work.

When I hung out with the good ol' high school comrades in mischief it was easier to get all anime'd up, but I'm not really into the main current of anime fanaticism anymore...

I am kinda bummed I missed the shopping though. Costume material for filming and halloween come in endless supply there. 0_0

I think I'm done ranting for now. I've got myriad tasks to do and little time to sort them out.

Still with my sexy boyfriend.

Got a chain mail in which I was 'fucked' so I generously spread the 'sex.' hahaha.

I hope to post more often and what not. Been so busy and all with the school, job hunt (okay maybe not that), the film ideas, story writing, and the boyfriend.

Cheers to all!

Perhaps with the onset of a brief summer before a grueling 6 week course, I've started to fantasize again. I really, really, really want to make a fantasy film. Maybe tackle a fan adaptation of Majora's Mask as a low budget sequel.....That would be awesome.

I'm going to Knott's with Ian tomorrow. You think that after being ruthlessly exploited by such corporate goblins I wouldn't go. This would be correct had there not been the circumstance of going every Friday as a child and the fact that I have free tickets. lol.

Anyways, it made me remember how much I like Shakespeare and I want to read MSND as well as re-read Hamlet and MacBeth. I think the only thing that bothered me in Macbeth (and Andy will agree) is that Macbeth's rival is MacDuff. I think there was a creativity block when Shakespeare picked the names. 0_0

It's not like I put that scene in, but I feel uncomfortable when certain people see me watching a random wolf movie on tv. I get the same blushing feeling as if someone were to walk in on me doing something stupid.
And another thing, why am I so obesessed with wolves and werewolves? They're in my stories, some favorite movies, my donation list, dreams, etc. I think I might know why, but I'm not owning up to it. lol.

They want me to work another 12 hours Sat/Sun. Normally this would be okay, but I have school (as I explicitly have expressed to them) and it's crunch time. They are a bad influence on me because I have discovered that I am more tired, crude, and irritable around the general vulgar public. Time to find a more reasonable job.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think out of our high school group, I've been the 1st to get fired and am already seeking my third job. I guess that's the life of a college student. -_-

Other than that, spring break is good so far.

I've got so many tests coming up and I've got a little creativity block when it comes to my masquerade costume. Ugh....I need a full day to relax. -_-

Watched the mini-series Merlin on DVD. Sam Neil, Miranda Richardson, Helena Bohnam Carter, and Isabella Rosselin. What more could you ask for in a tv fantasy? <3 The Hallmark movie productions produces simply the best movies on television.

Here's my proof:
1. The Oddessy
2. Gulliver's Travels
3. The Magical World of Leprechauns
4. The 10th Kingdom
5. Jack and The Beanstalk
6. Merllin
7. The Oldest Living Confederate's Wife (or some title like that)

AND MANY MORE!!

1. Valentine's Day was awesome!

2. I did well on both my Psych and Gov exams.

3. I'm getting the hang of math.

4. Work is exhausting, but better than working in a paper shop. Much more fun too. Although I have yet to see the ghost girl in the Playhouse, she keeps haunting my dreams when I'm stressed. 0_0

5. I can't wait to see all my friends again in any given upcomming event.

6. I might be going to see a movie tonight.

7. Work starts tomorrow.

and....

8. I FINISHED DRAGON FLIGHT, AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Finished all the orientation stuff at Knott's so as soon as I come back from Ensenada I'll be certified.
I'm happy to be going on a cruise this weekend (as I paid for it last year) because I can find something cool for Valentine's Day and bring it back.

On a side note, I hate it when people call Valentine's Day "Single Awareness Day." That's just jealousy and poor sportmanship. That, and it cheapens the fun for couples when singles go about blatantly moping around. Arg.

Back to reality....I saw some of the Kingdom Hospital episodes on the Sci-Fi channel today. Once again Stephen King's television adaptations recieve my seal of approval.

You have to admit that this is the coolest opening for a show about a haunted hospital. The song is also very catchy. *snatches*

I think the two places I really would prefer not working this present are the Playhouse and the Ferris Wheel. The Ferris Wheel is harder to operate than perceived and the Playhouse is haunted....0_0 I really like the other rides though so no problems there.

Other than that, I hope I get to work here for a long time because I'm already having a great time.

Lots of fun, but like previously stated, I've got a very hectic schedule. Hope everything's going well for all.

I had a wierd ass dream last night. Most of it involved watching random Indian dancing clips on Ian's computer, semi-violently making out with Emi, and gorging on Russian food/anything I could get my hands on. Oh yes, and also I ate the best cucumber in the world near the end of this dream. 0_0

Soo......whatever the hell that dream meant. All I know is I woke up hungry, yet repulsed by large portions of food. XD

Okay, Monday/Wednesday classes are from 7 am to 5:30 pm which means in order for me to get there in time, I'm actually waking up at 5 am. Not good, no bueno, genki janai, however you want to say it. I used to be a morning person, but I'm waking up BEFORE the sun.
That, and I have MATH so that is another factor to exhaustion. On Tues/Thurs I have one of the hardest English teachers so I know I'm going to have to be constantly reading and studying for his class so that on top of my new job at Knott's (whenever they call me back) will make things a little more hectic.
I don't know if I can keep all my classes since I happened to pick a majority of the demanding harder classes. -_-
My mom just keeps telling me "oh you'll get used to it" etc, but in all honesty I'm more strung out now over minor things in this single three days than ever before. Dammit IT'S A NEW RECORD!! That, and my eyes are starting to resemble that of a raccoon's....

To sumarize, RAWR!!!!
