the sound you hear is the sound of my impostor syndrome shattering to bits

I mean, I've no doubt it will reassemble itself soonish, but at the moment UNI IS WONDERFUL, MY SHORT STUPID RESEARCH PAPER IS WONDERFUL and I AM EVEN MORE WONDERFUL, so, to celebrate that, let's do that meme!

Pick the numbers, see the pigeon squeal or something. I miss Anya. )

this is a very. hm. angsty meme. like, if you want to compose a set that you'll feel comfortable asking a flister you don't know personally with, and cut out stuff like 'favorite ice-cream, you don't have a lot to work with? hm.

anyway! 6, 14, 17 :)

Isn't it? It's hilarious levels of passive-aggressive, so there's "lol, your favourite animal" and "WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO YOU :)" next to each other. I think I kind of love the irreverence. [Besides, everyone can choose which questions to ask based on how intimate they are with the memer. The system saves itself]

BUT ALSO, GUESS WHAT, I HAVE TO GO NOW. I have... lectures until 10 pm. It's one of those days. Eugh. I've already answered 17 above, so, enjoy that until I get home to do the rest.

HOME!

Okay!

6. Who my best friends are.

She is basically Diana Wynne Jones at heart.

He is deeply smitten by Oscar Wilde and, hilariously, fifties fashion.

She wants to become either Alan Turing or a stay-at-home mum.

He is... BBC!Mycroft, actually. Also, unrelatedly, the hottest man on earth.

She has an unhealthy obsession with some dude called Psmith.

Together? We fight crime.

OH, and there's also "She makes the best Poseidon porn" but that's never been officialised. Officialisation is done by people sending/giving/making me stuff, because I AM just that greedy.

(Also, it would have ruined my lovely pronoun symmetry thing.)

14. My greatest achievements:

I GOT FRIENDS. This is something neither of my parents ever manage, so I'm supposing it was half animal instincts and half blind luck.

I chose maths correctly. Even when it feels like it's wrong.

I did the moving-out-for-uni thing with relatively little bloodshed.
