Over in her LJ, scribblinlenore mentioned being stuck indoors for a blizzard and how she thought it would be a great opportunity to spend some time getting to know some of the new people on my flist. Which I whole-heartedly agree.

So...tell me something about you. Favorite character. Favorite food. Something funny you do. Whatever you like. Just make it something that gives me a sense of who you are.

There's no pressure to participate, of course. If you'd rather just lurk, that's fine, too. But if you feel like coming out of the woodwork, I'd love to hear from you!

I think I do this like once a year and since I'm feeling a bit sour, and this exercise always makes me smile, I'll start...

1. I drink like six glasses of water a day,
2. I still read Smallville stories even though I don't watch the show anymore.
3. I love potatoes.
4. I love turtles; I plan to buy one as soon as I can afford the damn terrarium.
5. I think I would rather be blind than deaf since I can't imagine not listening to music.

*bonus for the new folks
6. I dislike cats. A lot. I'm allergic to them, and believe they are actually evil creatures bent on world domination. As I am also bent on world domination, waiting on ethrosdemon to take it over, you can see why this is a problem. <-- gacked and bastardizard from musesfool

*Please keep in mind that you don't have to participate if you don't want to, and that this isn't about me responding, but you know, about sharing. I know somebody out there must know what that word means.

**ETN: I meant to mention this ages ago, but the LJPTB are reimbursing paid users an additional two weeks of time due to last week's outage or shortage or whatever it's being called. If you pay, use this, and people I've bought account time you better fucking use this for real, I want my money's worth!

It's wicked fun. And I'm a geek with no other profitable skills, so it seemed a good choice.

Those motorcycle boots were so my secret fetish, and now I'm going to be wearing them on my feet for all to see and adore. That's gotta mean something, right? Mmmmmm... Boot!porn.

oooh, who else mentioned I, Lucifer? i shall have to look. *is nosy* XD

okok. SO. it's about. ... Lucifer gets incarnated into the body of a writer, just before the writer's body dies [suicide], & he has a month 'test run' of being human. it's an idea prompted by god, who wants to tie up all the loose ends before the apocalypse but not because the world is ending. nuh-uh. just 'cause. XD
so it's basically about Lucifer coping with being human, which he does by taking lots of drugs, getting drunk, & having his version of the story made into a film - while trying not to give in to his mortal body. oh, & staging a coup with his lads, & snarking a heap at Michael and Gabriel. Lucifer is terribly snarky. :D

the writing is this mix of crude language and lush descriptions; you'd think it wouldn't work, but it's very masculine & i adore it [though this is why half the people who start to read it drop it, i must admit]. it's definately worth a poke with a blunt stick.

but then, i would say that, wouldn't i?

... okay. erk. i rambled. *runs away!*

They are *so* beautiful, to see them out of the water (the top halves of them while feeding) there are so many colours on their skin that you just don't see through aquarium glass. I was deeply envious of the staff members who got to dive with them (though I'm afraid of drowning, so only sorta envious!) because to swim with them must be amazing.

And yet people consistently think of them as bad things (it's all whosit's fault, the one who wrote Jaws, although he's now a shark conservationist!).

Re: I'm fascinating, damn it!

I know, I just...gah, I don't know what it is but I cannot stand the taste of it. and it makes no sense because I love peanuts. I just don't like them in butter form. :D
