BASICS Name, Age: Simon. 41. Geezus. How did that happen. I've apparently been on LJ for twelve and a half years. I suddenly feel ancient. Current Location: Highlands of Scotland. Hometown: Highlands of Scotland. Gender identity & Orientation: Straight white male. Religious/Spiritual Identity: Straight white... wait. Filthy pagan heretic. Political Identity: Straight whi.... No. Filthy socialist. Significant other, kids?: Not married anymore (hurrah!), no kids. (Hurrah!) Job?: Artist. Painter. Miniature painter. Major in college, if applicable: I'm British so I neither majored in anything nor went to college. I do however have an MA(hons) in Archaeology from Edinburgh University.
WHO YOU ARE What are you passionate about?: Nothing. I am cold and dead inside. What are you interested in?: It feels kind of redundant to copy/paste my LJ interests list in here. In truth there's not many things that I'm not interested in. The world is an interesting place full of odd and curious things. What are your hobbies?: I enjoy the hills. Solitude

You've really outdone yourself this time around, such a display of scum and villainy is hard to imagine, yet there they are, fighting for the nomination. Usually there's one or two candidates you can pick out as the sane ones, but this year...
It must be disheartening in the extreme. Our right-wing fuckheads are bad enough. But yours are seriously bonkers.
A person with a sense of humour ... and from Scotland! Och. My paternal grandfather - who died ten years or so before I was born - was originally from Glasgow. But that only entitles me to claiming a 25% interest in the bonny old world

I'm sometimes amazed there's any of us left here, given how many folks steamed off to Canada.
And yes I very much agree, I have made loads of very good friends on LJ over the years. But not once have I made anything close to a friend on the dreaded Facebook. The best I can say for it is that it sort of vaguely kept me in touch with people I used to know.
Truly, we're leaving a dreadful shithole to the next generation. I honestly don't understand how people with kids aren't one hell of a lot more motivated about doing something. But everybody just shrugs their shoulders and goes oh well, things are okay today. Which is true, we're very lucky to be alive at this stage of human history, for sure. But...
My dreaded ex was an actress. Well, she wanted to be an actress. Tried to get into the industry for years, but never actually did anything apart from a background part in a tv movie. Crazy crazy place Los Angeles. Did not like that city.

As usual, KK speaks good sense. It can feel a bit like shooting fish in a barrel lately though...there's an awful lot of fuckwittery about.
