BASICS.. Name: Kitty Age: 18 Location: Edinburgh School/Work/Life's passion: Studying to become a diplomat. It's my dream! 1-3 random fact(s) about you: I love teasing/poking fun at politicians (especially Vova and Dima. If you know who I'm referring to, you automatically get a muffin :D) I love octopodes (which is the actual plural form of octopus). The only thing I'm slightly elitist about is literature (I won't read garbage!) Favorite color/food/animal: Green/sushi/hedgehogs and Corgis
INTERESTS.. Hobbies: Endlessly reading, writing, traveling, and Internetting. Oh, and eating! Eat all the things! What are you really good at?: Writing and editing. Remembering facts (mostly useless). Languages. Politics-related things. Getting into trouble. Talking my way out of trouble XD What are you really passionate about?: All of the above, actually! Mostly politics/international relations/travelling. I don't usually talk about my education so much except I'm studying for my Russian politics exam while writing this XD Fandoms: Game of Thrones, Marvel universe, The Hobbit, LoTR, Star Trek, Star Wars, Skins (UK), Degrassi. Favorite musicians/bands: Rammstein, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Deals Death, Nightwish, Moonsorrow, basically all the heavy metal. Oh, and fun.. And classical. And I love the opera! Favorite books: (deep breath) 1984, To Kill A Mockingbird, Anna Karenina, The Idiot, Little Women, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Scarlet Letter, Brave New World...told you I was a bit of a literature snob XD 5-10 things you dislike: Self-righteous crusaders on tumblr...they scare me xD
ONLINE STUFF.. Where do you post your icons?: My journal. How would you describe your graphic style?: Honestly, I just make icons that I think are pretty. I don't think I really have a distinctive style -- or rather, I don't make enough icons to have a style. Most of my icons are in f-locked posts anyways ^^" What do you think your biggest graphic-related strengths and weaknesses are?: N/A Where can we follow you off-LJ (Tumblr, Goodreads, Last.fm, etc.)?: N/A
ABOUT MY JOURNAL.. What do you look for in an LJ friend?: Someone who will put effort into the friendship and treat it as a genuine friendship, not just an online friendship! Do you have a friending policy (age limit, etc.)?: Nope. What do you post in your journal?: Usually real life occurrences that I think are funny, travel stories, etc.
LASTLY.. Any last words?: I HAVE A RUSSIAN POLITICS EXAM IN TWO DAYS AHHHHHHHHHH Obligatory "post a GIF or image that describes you" section:
Thanks! ^^ And yay for politics indeed! :D Well, American politics kind of drove me insane so I ran away from America and moved to the UK XD I really like Russian politics though! :DD And just politics in general. It needs more love!
Joining the political love train here - I don't know nearly enough about UK politics (or, non-American domestic politics, really), but I find the parliamentary system fascinating. And good luck on your test!
Thanks for the well wishes! :D I've been living on the fuckyeahrussianpolitics blog at Tumblr but somehow I don't think looking at pictures of Medvedev looking dorky in a Christmas sweater are helping my case XD
I probably don't know as much about UK politics compared to people that have grown up in the UK...but seeing as I can vote in the referendum that decides whether or not Scotland should become independent (AHHHHHHH) I should probably do my research soon LOL.
XD I really hope they release another album soon. They keep getting better and better with each one in my opinion! :-) What's your favorite song by them?
tbh I haven't paid much attention to their new stuff anymore since reise, reise :c idk, the singles after that didn't catch me enough to buy their new albums.
omg, favourite song... I'll get back on that as I gotta run to work now!
Well, I don't understand politics, nor do I read many books (because I just don't really know what? idk I don't like reading German books, I prefer English ones) but what I can talk about is: I once saw an octopus while subadiving in the red sea and it was pretty awesome!
I have a German copy of Die Verwandlung waiting for me at home, one day I'll read it but in the meantime I'll just cry over my lack of ability to read it :Db
And that is awesome!!! :D Weirdly enough I lived in Hawaii but I've never been scuba diving, so no octopus encounters for me XD
I've never heard of that book, but I think it's cool you want to read a German book :D
Diving is so much fun but also scary! Can you go snorkeling in Hawaii? I mean, are there good reefs, or were you even at the sea? :) I'd love to visit Hawaii one day, it must be beautiful!
:DD I took German this year in university (for the first time) AND THE GRAMMAR IS KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH THIS SONG :'''D The only thing I love more than studying German is complaining about studying German.
And yeah, you can go snorkeling here! :D We have a really cool bay called Hanauma Bay and it's so perf for snorkeling because you can see fish and sea turtles and everything :D It really is pretty!
Technically I do. I moved to Edinburgh for university but I'm going back in a few weeks actually :-) Looking forward to seeing my friends and family and eating all the delicious food! ^_~ And I will never take a beach for granted again ^^" Or sun :D
