Still ficcing merrily away. Distractions, however, are always welcomed.

*ponders*

Er... an easy meme. Ask me a question and I will answer honestly.

Unless the answer impacts on more than just myself, you know how it is. :)


Oh! And I forgot to say, you're welcome to go anonymous.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I SO SHOULD! I have it somewhere on my bookshelves, I'll look for it when I'm done with writing this story.

Who is in your icon?

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

This is Tigh, from (I AM SORRY, I AM SO SO SO SORRY) BSG. He's an alcoholic who doesn't command well. <3

What is with YOUR icon!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

That is Simon Pegg AKA Shaun (of the dead) AKA Tim from Spaced.

You should see Spaced. In the same way you should see Black Books, if you haven't, only slightly more so.

Your icon looks like a kind of Titus Andronicus figure.

Speaking of: Who, besides Shakespeare, do you consider most overrated?

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

I have seen neither. :( *goes to hell for Americans*

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Really? I kinda liked it.

Although Colin Firth... yeah, I guess it is kinda overrated at that. And WATCH SPACED OMG. I would bring it with me when I come, only I only have it on English VHS. *sulks*

What's your guiltiest pleasure of all guilty pleasures?

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Although I am an enormously guilty person who feels guilty about liking things and guilty about not liking things ALLA TIME, this stumps me.

This is my favorite Sunday afternoon plan, instead:

1) Ramen + saltine crackers + book
2) Food coma.

Where did you first see CKR?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

About 1996, in Due South. Around about the same time I saw Paul Bettany, actually, in an awful program called Killer Net - clearly I was going through a bit of a lanky blond phase, at the time.

Whether or not you are attracted to them, who do you think is the most beautiful person in the world?

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Hmmm!

Maybe Gaspard Ulliel. I am more conversant in French than any other area in re: actors/actresses. Distressingly.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I am conversant, as you put it, in actors what have been in stuff I've seen. I have a ridiculous memory for who's been in what, and often spend half an hour pondering only to ejaculate triumphantly long after anyone else has stopped giving a damn.

What is the most beautiful thing about Paul Bettany?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

The unexpectedness of it, without question. He's not beautiful all the time. A lot of the time he looks tired, or scruffy, or just thoroughly normal.

And then he'll duck his head and grin, and you'll just feel like all the air's vanished from the room, for the briefest of seconds. It's a physical reaction, just a second or two where you're absolutely blown away by how stunning he is. And then his expression changes, and he looks like everyone else does, again. Just a little bit prettier than anyone you could see in the street.

It kind of makes me see how people can find people I don't fancy at all attractive, you know? Everyone has moments like that, I think, to a greater or lesser extent.

Recycling old questions. What's your idea of romance?

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

OK, I will try not to take this as Romance with a capital R like I did when Shati asked me.

Romance for me would be a relationship with someone where I wanted to see them and talk to them and just be around them. Whenever. All the time. Someone I liked talking to on the phone even. Someone I wouldn't be afraid to call or have a frumpy haven't-washed-in-three-or-four-days-DON'T-START-WITH-ME day with. Where I wouldn't worry about personal space too much. Or at all.

It's more a doing-for or doing-with than being-done-for with me.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes.

I think my idea of romance is making someone happy, and knowing how to make them happy. I like the closeness.

And it's my idea of friendship, too, which quite possibly says a lot about me.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Same. I don't have much of a sex drive. Usually. So that's not a huge deal or anything. I also pretty much, I'm sure, would treat a lover like a good friend. I don't really know where I draw the line. Fortunately I have not been propositioned by good friends in any likely scenario. Yet?

Where do YOU draw the line!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I don't know, quite.

I've never had sex. I've been in love once. I think... I'm more willing to put up with a lot from someone I'm in love with. I'm kinda hoping I'll find someone one day who loves me back enough not to put me through a lot. *grins*

I love my friends. It's entirely possible I'd be happy without anything more than that, actually. When I feel connection it doesn't have to be a sexual thing, it can just be - yeah. I want to spend my life knowing this person. I want to see who they turn out to be. So maybe I don't need any more than that.

Just... I'd kinda like to be someone's bestest. I want to be priority, with someone. Like, they think of me first. When they see something new and amazing, I want to be the one they immediately think of sharing it with.

I guess love for me would be someone who told me they felt like that, and who I trusted enough to believe them.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

I just want to not be afraid of being " -- and Ji" instead of just "Ji."

That is all I require. :)
