this is not the start of world war three

I don't expect anyone would, but just in case: please do not use the new Twitter/Facebook crossposting feature to reproduce comments left in my journal.

If, like me, you have no intention of using the new Twitter/Facebook crossposting feature and would prefer to get rid of the annoying tickyboxes in the comment field, daluci created this greasemonkey script to do just that, and it works fab.




I was tagged for this meme by riviyan_questa:

If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question.

Tag eleven people. Don’t refuse to do that. Don’t tag who tagged you.

I hate tagging people. So I'm not going to. Woo.


What song are you currently addicted to?
I Don't Believe In Heroes Anymore from 3 Guys Naked From The Waist Down. Specifically Raul Esparza's rendition.

What's your favourite season?
Winter. I love snow and hot chocolate and being able to wear scarves and coats and all the other winter trappings.

What’s the latest movie you watched?
In theaters: Despicable Me at the local cheapo illegal theater. It was adorable, I enjoyed it. At home: I don't remember. Something on TV.

What is the one skill you wish you had?
I'd love to have some kind of musical ability. I love music, I'm just...completely talentless at it. Being able to play an instrument well would be amazing.

What’s your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Seriously, I have so many it's ridiculous. I'm currently on an Andromeda retro-kick, which is nice. And I'm working my way through Merlin.

What's your favourite musical instrument?
At the moment, the cello. This is something that changes a lot, but right now I'm very in love with everything to do with cellos -- the sound, the look, cello rock...

What web sites do you always visit when you go online?
GMail, Yahoo! Mail, LiveJournal.

What was the last thing you bought?
This past weekend I went up to the bookstore and spent my birthday money on two books: Soul Music by Terry Pratchett and The Great Book Of Amber by Roger Zelazny. The first is part of my continuing quest to own all the Discworld books (I'm making progress! albeit very erratic and not-in-any-kind-of-remote-order progress) and the latter is a book that should be on every SF geek's bookshelf, but I've never had the disposable income to drop on it until now.

If you won 10,000 bucks today, what would you do with it?
Pay off student loans and medical bills. :|

Favourite time of day?
Night. I'm definitely a night owl. Especially the middle of the night, when everyone else is asleep.

What's the last thing that made you happy?
As previously mentioned, I bought books! That's always happy-making.

Do you want to learn another language?
Definitely; I'd love to be multilingual. I'm not, remotely, though. I took Spanish in elementary school, a semester of Latin in middle school, and a couple years of French in high school, but my skills are pretty much limited to "je suis americaine". I've been trying to teach myself Gaeilge via Byki's Irish-language software but progress is slow.

Five things you can’t live without.
My beloved laptop Sally, my glasses, books, my iPod, quality pillows.

Now if they'll just shut the stupid thing off at the source...

I may snag that meme, if I ever stop running around.

I wish I knew what they were thinking! ...okay, I kind of know what they were thinking because there's this increasing drive toward interconnectivity online these days. But it's a stupid drive and I wish they would take thirteen seconds to think, "Hey. Maybe people don't want their offline identities and online identities to be blatantly."
