about you
;; List five of your main personality traits:
{kindly detail as much as possible}
;;
- Friendly: Seriously I try so hard to get on with everybody, I like to be nice to everybody and make a lot of friends. I'm usually quick to try and calm situations between other people and keep everybody else friendly too.
- Unconfrontational...most of the time: When I'm mad at someone, they're usually the last to hear about it... sort of. If I'm angry I'll rant and scream at inanimate objects (like my PC), or vent on LJ to get it out of my system, but I can be very snappy and quiet with people if they've annoyed me, just...subtly. I can snap though, eventually, and when I do I snap pretty badly - though I'm quick to back down and start mediating as soon as I've vented.
- Mothering: I like to look after people. If anybody I love is upset... hell, even people I don't know all that well, I'll try my hardest to make them feel better and help them out, I'd like to think I'm ok at it, and my door is always open for reasonable (very reasonable, like I say, mediator) advice and lots of hugs.
- Geeky: This might seem like an interest rather than a personality trait, but it's such a defining thing for me. I am a great big geek and I'm happy with it, I quote random things, I do dorky things in my free time, I am fully immersed in my geekiness and I love it.
- Guarded: In a really open way... I'm pretty free with most details off my life, and will happily chat about anything and everything, but I'm actually a really defensive person and have trouble letting people too close, it's not very noticeable (I don't think) but it's there.
List 3-5 things you love:
{explain}
;;
- My Girlfriend: Yes, dorky I know, but after a very long string of very bad relationships, she is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me... she's also a great big dork like me and that helps.
- The internet: I told you I was a geek. I spend a LOT of time on the internet, ever since I was an awkward moody teenager it has been my haven. Particularly RPing, it might be an escapist tactic but I enjoy it so who cares. I've made some wonderful friends and had awesome times, what's wrong with that?
- Reading: I love books. So hard. Ever since I was small I've read a lot, particularly fantasy but I've covered a few genres in my time. I just love the written word, disappearing into whole other worlds and meeting people that came from somebody else's brain, it's fascinating.
- Friends: My friends are awesome, all of them, they all rock, but even just friends in general, I crave having people around me - even if just online. I really like being able to just call someone up when I need company or a hug and just hang out and be happy.
List 3-5 things you hate/fear:
{explain}
;;
- Prejudice: It just drives me crazy - particularly sexism and bi/homophobia, mostly because I feel targeted by them, but any sort of prejudice sucks, and I don't really understand how it happens, I mean, I do academically, but emotionally I don't really get it, if that makes sense? I particularly hate the really subtle, insidious kind that ends up being used by the very people it's aimed at, just because they don't even know they're doing it (a lot of sexism is like this, these days).
- Being unable to help: If anything happens to my friends that I can't do anything about, I hate it, I don't like being powerless and I hate to see people I love suffering.
- My own laziness: Seriously, I know this is a really bizarre thing, but I'm so unmotivated to do anything about getting the life that I want, and I hate that. I try my best to make myself go for it, but it's really hard when I'm so annoyingly lazy... I know that makes it sound like I'm two different people but sometimes it feels that way. I need to motivate myself and that's really hard.
Your greatest achievement so far:
;;
This is actually really difficult, I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm happy with, and a lot of things I'm unhappy with, but there's not really been anything that's totally thrilled me to have achieved, you know?
There's things I probably SHOULD have been thrilled with, but I move on so quickly...
I guess... not screwing up this relationship with my girlfriend? We've made it six months so far, and that might not sound like a lot to some people, but for me to have made it six months and still be so ridiculously in love with her, and not screwing it up... it's almost dizzying, I want to spend the rest of my life with her and that's the first time I've ever been so sure of anything, except for...
Your greastest aspiration/dream:
...being an actress.
I've dallied with other choices - more when I was younger, obviously, but still a few when I was older, and there's plenty of things I'd be more than happy to do with my life.
But acting... oh my god, if I could be on stage for the rest of my life I would be so happy it's unreal, there's just nothing like it, it's completely amazing.
about merlin
;; Favourite character, why?
;;
This is really difficult...but... I think it would probably be Merlin, I just love him to pieces, he's so witty and awesome and lovely and I feel so sorry for him with everything he has to put up with <3
....it also doesn't hurt that he's quite pretty and he's so very, VERY easy to 'ship with... a lot of people (but especially Arthur).
Least favourite character, why?
;;
Again this is really difficult, I think maybe the dragon? I feel Merlin's pain whenever he gets into a conversation with him, I'm always just like... *headdesk* this would be so much easier if you weren't such a cryptic bitch!
And he keeps wanting Merlin to kill people.
There for a day: warrior or magician?
{kindly argument your choice}
;;
Tricky... magician I think.
Though being a warrior would undoubtedly be fun (weeee *waves around a sword*), I'm always much more inclined to the magical side of things. I'd be all mystical and run around in a cloak, it would be epic.
...I'd also probably be far too obvious for my own good and get executed within that day, either that or have far too much fun being sneaky and doing magical stuff behind people's back.
To which character you think you ressemble the most?
{kindly argument}
;;
I can't help but think Merlin (I play him on an RP where my girlfriend is Arthur), I'm a little awkward, friendly, dorky. Oh and I'm totally a wizard. ... what?
I think I've got a little of Gwen in me too, she's so caring and protective...
Merlin most of all though, I'm kinda clumsy and awkward and I'm a bad liar, while at the same time being a very good liar (as in, I'm a bad liar but I can keep secrets), and I'm pretty friendly to most people I meet but I can also be very sarcastic.
I think anyway XD
List 3-5 things you'd like to see in the coming episodes:
Merlin/Arthur y/y? I know, I know, it's not going to happen, but it would be lovely. If not that, then at least some more lovely moments that make the 'shipping SO easy... XD
I think I'd love to learn more about Morgana's father actually, they finally mentioned that he was Gorlois in ...was it the last ep or the one before? Either way, in Mists of Avalon at least, Gorlois is Igraine's first husband, so it makes me wonder if Morgana and Arthur are, in fact, half-siblings.
I actually really want Arthur to find out about Merlin's magic, I really want to know how he's going to react to that, and he can't stay this oblivious for that long, surely?
More knights! Obviously we've had Lancelot, and there's been a few mentions of other knights from the legends as actual knights of Camelot, but I'd love to have some appearances from the more well-known names, Galahad, Gawain, Bedivere, all them.
