What songs are you currently addicted to?
"Twilight Galaxy" and "Gimme Sympathy" by Metric (thanks jennifergale), "Melancholy Astronautic Man" by Allie Moss, "Sprawl II" by Arcade Fire, and "You Are What You Love" by Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.
What word/words/phrase do you constantly overuse?
Really, very, adorable, cute.
What do you wish you could do right now?
Be really good at linear algebra, so my homework would take less time.
What is the one skill you wish you had?
Not panicking.
What's your current fandom/obession/addiction?
I think we all know. :P
What's the most exciting thing that has happened to you in the past week?
No one came in for tutoring, so I had a nice conversation with one of my coworkers about math and philosophy and religion. Not very exciting, but whatever. I think said coworker may be one of my first proper friends who is a boy in a good long time.
Whose fic will you always read?
promethia_tenk writes really lovely stories. saywheeeee is another of my favorites. Oh, and honeynoir.
How do you drink your tea?
Iced or hot, I like milk and sugar.
What was the last thing you bought?
Probably dinner, if using your meal plan counts. Elsewise...probably a download of "My Love" by the Bird and the Bee.
If you win 10,000 bucks today, what would you do with it?
What song do you think would make a great video?
"Astronaut" by Amanda Palmer is soooo Eleven/River. If I could vid, I would vid that first.
Last concert you went to?
I don't really go to concerts. Do recitals count? Probably my piano teacher's studio recital that I played in during the spring, when I was still taking lessons.
Where did your username come from?
Well, at the time I made it up I was in a sorority (I'm not anymore; too much of a time commitment) and one of our symbols was Hermes, who is Mercury in Roman myth. Mercury also reminds me of the Doctor--traveling around, playing tricks, friend of man, etc. And then it also comes from a play on the name of a teacher whom I consider a role model.
What gets you more het up: bad grammar or bad driving?
Bad grammar, unless I'm on my bicycle.
What's the last thing that made you happy?
My math teacher telling me I seemed to be doing well at understanding the class. Finishing my homework faster than anticipated. Talking with a friend at dinner.
Do you speak more than one language?
I speak Spanish well enough to butcher it and tutor in it.
Don't you want to just pick up Matt Smith and put him into your pocket sometimes?
Yes. He's adorable!
