Ok, let's see if we can't get this party started :) 1. Name: Simon 2. Birthday:22nd January. 3. Where do you live:Liverpool, UK 4: What are you studying/What are you working as: Computer Programmer. So, so dull, but it's a job, I suppose. 5. What makes you happy: Friends, music, books, wonderful stories in any forms. Also, writing. Well, about 50% of the time. The other 50% is kind of agonising. I don't think I'll ever not find it hard. 6. What are you listening to now/have listened to last: Right now? Abney Park "Under the Radar". So much awesome :D 7. What is particularly good/bad about my LJ: Well, I can't think of anything bad. You're always intelligent and articulate. Bizarrely (because I really don't like sports generally) I always find your Derby posts a lot of fun. 8. An interesting fact about you: Oh god, I'm really not very interesting. Does a degree in Egyptology and the (admittedly extremely rusty) ability to read Ancient Egyptian (hieroglyphs 'n' all) count as interesting? IDK. 9. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment:I crush quite easily and have an annoying tendency to only fall for people who are unavailable :/. The present is no exception. I have 3 crushes of varying intensities, and all entirely hopeless (for admittedly very different reasons). Hey ho. 10. Favorite place to be:HOME! (I'm such a homebody, it's not even funny!) 11. Favorite lyric: Too many to name, but the one that springs to mind right now is: "Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings, About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings, And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering, And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live." Which is from Frank Turner's "I knew Prufrock before he was famous", which is just wonderful <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c21SfaAwBw0
12. Best time of the year: Autumn! 13. Weirdest food you like: Banana and Tabasco sauce sandwiches are rather yummy (it's a hot and sweet thing. It just works really well). 14. Contact info/twitter: prunesquallormd on Tumblr. Email on request :)
RECOMMEND 1. A film: The Wonder Boys. Also, I saw Mulan for the first time recently and found it surprisingly entertaining :D 2. A book: The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Or maybe 'House of Leaves' by Mark Danielewski. 3. A song: Oh god, what a question. Maybe 'Falling is like this' by Ani Difranco? Here, with additional BSG awesomeness :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8Ve1rnUFAo
4: A band: Seabound. Or Ani Difranco, Or Billy Bragg!
FANDOM 1. Favorite Fandom: For a good couple of years it was Skins. Currently I waver between Skins, HP, and Narnia, and I'm more than open to anything else that's awesome :) 2. OTP/OT3:KEFFY <3 Katie/Emily/Naomi Ginny/Luna Susan/Lucy Pansy/Hermione Ginny/Pansy Sirius/Remus Ben Barnes/Everyone :P Franziska von Karma/Adrian Andrews Erm there's more, but they'll do to be going on with :)
3. Icon/Fic Journal: I'm not sure if this means mine or a particular fave? My AO3 page is http://archiveofourown.org/users/prunesquallormd I'm also very fond of likecharity :)
PLUS 1. One thing you like about me:You're intelligent, interesting and rather no-nonsense :) 2. Two things you like about yourself: Erm, tricky. I can string together a passable sentence I guess, when I'm not being lazy. I'm reasonably bright, fairly easy going, and I'm a pretty good listener:) 3. Put this in your lj so I can tell you what I think of you? Sure, in a little bit :)
