ABOUT YOU: Your name: Your age: 29 Your location: Central Maryland Your occupation: Office butt monkey. :)
YOUR INTERESTS AND FANDOMS:
Current fandoms: Harry Potter, Firefly, Mad Men, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who to a certain extent. More on the discussion front than ship front though.
Characters you like, ships you sail etc. Not a huge shipper, care more about the characters/plotlines, but Ron/Hermione, Remus/Tonks (pre-DH), Zoe/Wash, Leslie/Ben, April/Andy. Characters I especially like are...
Harry Potter: Neville, Luna, Remus, Tonks, McGonagall (mostly for her Pottermore backstory), all of the Weasleys.
Firefly: Zoe, Wash, Simon, Kaylee.
Mad Men: Hm... they're all so screwed up... I guess Peggy's the easiest to like. And Ken Cosgrove.
Parks and Recreation: Leslie, Ben, Chris, April, Ron.
Doctor Who: Madame Vastra, River (in... most episodes, she has a few bad ones), Donna, Granddad Wilf.
Other non-fannish interests: History, genealogy, artsy stuff, social activism but not in a scary "everyone is a bad person but me"

We share Arrow and Agents of Shield (Firefly is on my to-watch list, but I haven't made it that far yet). But I really had to comment because of the gif. Because Olicity. And, you know. Half-naked Oliver hanging from the ceiling.

You're a librarian? YAAAAAAAAAAAAS. I love books so much, hahah. I just bought 12 this week because I cannot contain myself, haha. And I read an article today about how books are still head to head with ebooks, which makes me happy, because ebooks drive me to tears.
LOL I am the slowest reader...well, I'm easily distracted by shiny things, mostly the internet, but I do blog about what I read, which is mostly YA (though OMG I'm reading an adult book right now, go me! Might even finish it...but let's not get crazy just yet). Wanna be friends?

Characters you like, ships you sail etc. Love the Ponds, the Doctor (classic and New Who); folks from Dorne, Tyrion, badass Tyrells; Lupin, McGonagall, Luna and Professor Lockhart; X-Wing pilots (especially you, Wedge), Han, Boba Fett and Talon Karrde.
Ships: Eleven/River, Eleven/Amy, Amy/Rory, Wedge/Iella, Mal/Inara ... and that's it really. I've never shipped anyone together in HP, which is a bit unusual.
Other non-fannish interests: Writing, baking (I post my creations on weekends!), travel (backpacking), reading (favourite authors are Irvine Welsh and Haruki Murakami) classic rock and Bronze Age history!
I actually warmed up the prequels a little after I did this retrospective/Heroes Journey analysis thing back in December. I made up discussion questions and everything. It was fun! Also, I dunno if you've read the novelization for Ep. 3, but it's AMAZING.

Oh, it is still very much alive, haha! I'm a conservatory student (or will be starting in September, I used to study privately until now) and still nowhere near ready to enter the actual business, but I grew up with it (with my dad being a symphonic musician and my mum being a music journalist) and can say... It's... definitely crazy. Really tough because you have tons and tons of competition and everyone just gets younger @___@ and you have to deliver a 100% fantastic performance every time and everywhere you go because otherwise that could have consequences

That sounds so fucking cool, seriously! I love that things like opera and ballet are still so big. At least some things haven't changed, haha. Have you travelled much for it? Is it like Phantom of the Opera? ;) I've never really seen much, but I've always loved the idea of it, I suppose. That's so cool that you do it!

Half-naked Oliver hanging from the ceiling is never a bad thing.
Definitely.
(Oooh, Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Doctor Who, Sherlock and HP as well. Nice!)

Firefly is next on my list. I have a feeling I'll love it--so many of my friends do, and I trust their judgement. :)
