I'm bored and found this on tumblr so thought I'd do it here. Cross channel memes, yeah.
1. If someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?
Read - the Discworld books, particularly the witch and watch ones. Supergirl: Many Happy Returns. Elizabeth McCracken's An Exact Replica of a Figment of my Imagination. Alternatively, they could read this blog and New readers...start here!.
Watch - the Buffy telly show. Listen to - 90s britpop, metal and punk albums, with a dash of Shampoo, 5ive and Steps.
2. Have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?
No, but some of Terry Pratchett's creations make total utter sense to me - Granny Weatherwax and Vimes in particular.
3. List your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.
Discworld - Granny Weatherwax
DC comics - Linda Danvers Supergirl
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Tara
4. Do you like your name? is there another name you think would fit you better?
I like my online name, I think it suits me just right.
5. Do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?
Wanky question. Human being. I identify myself by the things I am.
6. Are you religious/spiritual?
Not any more.
7. Do you care about your ethnicity?
I'm white. No I don't care about it, I don;t need to care about it, I live in the UK and being white affords me the privilege to not have to care about it.
8. What musical artists have you felt most connected to over your lifetime?
Manic Street Preachers and the Wildhearts.
9. Are you artist?
I can do some origami and some crafty stuff. I can put together costumes, following tutorials, but I don't think that makes me an artist.
10. Do you have a creed?
No
11. Describe your ideal day.
12. Dog person or cat person?
Kitties all the way.
13. inside or outdoors?
Both. The home comforts of indoors with the freedom to go outdoors whenever I like.
14. Are you a musician?
Hell no.
15. Five most influential books over your lifetime.
The Discworld series. All 30 plus of them.
16. If you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?
Nope.
17. Would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?
Nope, my tumblr is just comic stuff that makes me happy. My blog isn't all me either, it's what I choose to write about and put on here, but that's not all I am.
18. What's your patronus?
18. What's your patronus?
I found this definition of a patronus: The Patronus Charm is difficult, and many witches and wizards are unable to produce a full, corporeal Patronus, a guardian which generally takes the shape of the animal with whom they share the deepest affinity.
I have no idea what my patronus would be. Something that likes pretty things but doesn't really exist, I guess.
19. Which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?
Hufflepuff - values hard work, patience, loyalty and fair play.
20. Would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?
Of the list, Narnia. Elsewhere, the Discworld. I would like a world with narrativium.
21. Do you love easily?
No.
22. List the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.
Checking for movements.
Thinking about my babies.
Thinking about my partner.
Thinking about my next set of appointments.
Thinking about my physical state.
23. How often would you want to see your family every year?
Discounting my partner and kids, I can happily see family just every few months, with a bit of contact over phone, email or skype between that.
24. Have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?
Don't be ridiculous.
25. Could you live as a hermit?
With adequate maternity care, yes. So perhaps I mean no.
26. How would you describe your gender/sexuality?
Gender - female, but had my life gone a different way I can see how I would have become more masculine identified, but never male identified.
Sexuality - bisexual.
27. Do you feel like your outside appearance is a fair representation of the “real you”?
Well, I'm very visibly pregnant now so I look like a mother, so yeah, I guess?
28. On a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it for someone to get under your skin?
Very, very easily. I'm a moody bastard.
29. Three songs that you connect with right now.
I am not connecting with any songs right now.

30. Pick one of your favourite quotes.
"...And that's what your holy men discuss, is it?" [asked Granny Weatherwax.]"Not usually. There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment on the nature of sin. for example." [answered Mightily Oats.]"And what do they think? Against it, are they?""It's not as simple as that. It's not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray.""Nope.""Pardon?""There's no grays, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is.""It's a lot more complicated than that--""No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts.""Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes--""But they starts with thinking about people as things..."--from Carpe Jugulum, by Terry Pratchett.
