1.
t-lyrical is talking about
Naomi Novik's Temeraire series and has a poll up speculating on the soon-to-be-released Tongues of Serpents. I will hold either her or
pitselly to the promise of Laurence/Rankin.
2.
manic_intent is reading and will be following HINABN, so clearly everything is wonderful. ♥
A TOTAL MEMEDUMP FOLLOWS. This is your only warning.
3. The 10 Things Meme, as
tagged by
aingeal (go see her awesome
Girls of Hanna artwork, omg):
1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 10 things about yourself in your journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icons in the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.
Anybody reading this can do it if they would like to.
1. According to
her, I look arbitrarily contradictory to my racial heritage. It's a good way as any of expressing what friends, taxi drivers, teachers, colleagues and many, many other people have told me over the years.
Not family, though.
2. I was in a car accident earlier this year.
3. I love blue-eyed blonds (so shiny) and blond/blondes in general, which is probably why I like Lee.
I think the aforementioned blue-eyed blond(e)s (eye colour is generally irrelevant, though I prefer blue and green) look best when contrasted with a dark-haired character, which explains why a lot of the pairings I go for are blond/dark-haired couples:
Knight and Day (Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, so much prettiness),
Chuck and Sarah,
Mr. Hatch and Lee Falun (I think it would be fascinating).
Oops, one of these things is not like the other.
4. I've never watched an episode of Doctor Who. Pity, because I think I might like it.
On the other hand, I love Supernatural: it has everything I want, which can be summarised as, "Good-looking brothers fight monsters."
6. I love sunshine, but my skin doesn't.
5. I love reading. If you put a book in my reach I will read it.
7. It is easy to gain my affection, difficult to earn my respect, and hardest of all to gain my trust.
8. I am easily pleased, and only slightly less easily bored.
9. I'm an introvert but 95% of the people I know disagree with my saying this. This is because I like people and I'm an introvert who goes into people withdrawal if I don't hang out with people often enough.
10. I think my personality is best described as "Hanna, if he had been raised by Zombie and Ples."
4. From
daigranon, the Colour Meme, which means:
Ten things I like/love that are CRIMSON
1. Redheads. ♥
2. CONBAT. ♥
3. Roses!
4.
Red velvet cake!
5. My paperback copy of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell;
6. Steak the way I like it;
7. TOMATOES!
8. The way the setting sun flares scarlet as it goes down against the city skyline.
9. Blood. It's essential to life;
10. Lipstick. :D Even if I don't wear it, I love the colour.
5. And the Question Meme, also from
daigranon!
HAHAHA THE FIRST QUESTION:
1. Who's one character in Katekyo Hitman Reborn that you simply cannot stand, if any? Why?
Nobody. :) It used to be Yamamoto, but I got over that and now I'm fine with him.
2. Pets?
The best kind: I have two brothers. :)
3. If you could put yourself in the SPN cast, who would you be and why? Angel, demon, human, etc?
... Hmm. Nobody, really: I never thought about it before. Probably Random Human Who Encounters the Winchester Brothers (if only for a fleeting moment), and Survives Without Losing Anything or Anyone He/She Loves. Hmm, that's pretty rare.
4. What color eyes do you have?
Brown. :)
5. If I may ask, what's the most entertaining thing about Lj?
THE PEOPLE! \O/
