Hopping on the bandwagon...

Well I wasn't going to do this meme, but I've been tagged twice, so...might as well. Tagged by
cattm and
taragel .
RULES:
A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
I'm not actually going to tag anybody. Participate if you so desire.
01. What's the last TV show you saw?
I watched the interview with Sherman Alexie on the Colbert Report. It was awesome, btw. Because they are both awesome.
02. What are you wearing at the moment?
Clothes. My t-shirt says "Fetchez la vache!"
03. Have you lost any friends recently? Why?
I hope not.
04. What is your favorite scent?
I don't know if I have a favorite, but I'm fond of thyme. And pear. I don't particularly like pears (they're never ripe and I'm impatient) but I love the scent.
05. If you could have any superpower what would it be?
I'd love to be able to speak/understand any language.
06. What do you drink the most?
Water. Seltzer.
07. If you had a restaurant, what would it be called?
To quote a conversation I had just a few hours ago, "All the Crap I Like." I'm sure it would be immensely popular.
08. What will you be doing after finishing this?
Sleeping. It's almost 3:30 AM and I'm very tired. I'm doing this now because I need to stop thinking about midget clowns before I try to sleep.
09. What did you want to be when you grew up?
I feel like this is kind of an odd question...as I haven't exactly begun my career yet. But when I was very small, I wanted to be a painter and a scientist (because I wouldn't make a living as a painter). For the record, I am abysmal at both painting and science. But by the age of ten I'd decided that I was going to be a writer (of fiction). And that is still my goal.
10. Your favorite romantic movie?
I don't particularly like romantic movies, so I can't actually think of very many that I've even seen. Oh! Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle).
11. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Well there were two of them. Both seem very nice, and we clearly have common interests...Both are relatively new to lj/fandom, although I'm not exactly a veteran myself.
12. What's your least favorite thing about yourself?
I know I should be doing something but I still put it off until the last possible time. And then I just lose sleep over it, and generally make myself miserable when I could've prevented the whole thing. And I know this, but I also know that I'm going to do it again. Probably very soon.
13. What are your ideal qualities in a partner?
Loves me. Doesn't mind that I'm such a dork. Respects the things that I care about. Knows when to shut up, when to listen, or when to talk.
14. What time do you usually go to bed?
I'm usually in bed by 2.
15. What's the meaning behind your LJ username/name/nicknames you go by?
Shah of Blah is one of the nicknames given to Rashid, the storyteller from Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie. It is possibly my all-time favorite book. And the other nickname, Ocean of Notions, just seemed a little too pretentious/long for a username.

That's a totally awesome superpower idea.
