So cuddlytogas tagged me in the ‘five things you like about yourself’ meme...

Five things I like about myself:

- My hair is pretty cool I guess? Also it's really soft~

- I can remember movies and episodes of things really well and basically watch them back in my head.

- Every now and then, very occasionally, I have the ability to draw.

- I don't feel the cold.

- I'm pretty good at picking up accents and voices, and being able to copy them.

Ok, I have once again been tagged by the fabulous aylithegeneral to say my 15 favourite things to do. I think that was the tag. I’m doing this on phone tumblr… So; in no particular order (Apart from number 1, which is most definitely number 1)…

1. Spending time with my girlfriend. Anything at all. Don’t care. Just spending time together.

2. Listening to music.

3. Reading.

4. Patting my dog because he is soft and warm and friendly and his ears feel like small clouds of wonderfulness.

5. Playing computer games.

6. Finding cool audiobooks and radio plays to listen to.

7. Photography.

8. Sleeping. Not that that happens very often.

9. Singing.

10. Doing card tricks.

11. Staring at the faces of beautiful people; for instance my girlfriend, Natalie Dormer, Erika Linder and Emilia Clarke.

12. Watching movies and TV.

13. Lying on my back on the floor in the dark (No seriously. Especially when it’s raining, or there’s a storm…).

14. Looking at cool photos online.

15. Sailing at sunrise or sunset.

I tag everyhourlost and whenpetalsfall, because why not.

the magician, the emperor, the hermit :)

first two are answered previously :))) 

could you cope with living alone?i could live in my house by myself if i saw my friends/worked/went to uni almost every day. i find it kinda lonely and quiet though. i don't think i'd like it 

[spogical]

1, 3, 15, 16, 17, 24 (purely because of the wording of the question), 30. good to see you're studying hard :P

1. if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

Read: A Brave New World by Aldous HuxleyWatch: Star Trek TOSListen to: ‘Even if it kills me’ by Motion City Soundtrack

3. list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.

I feel like there aren’t many tv characters all that much like me because then nothing would ever happen (probably why I always have a soft spot for the pointless character who hangs around contributing nothing, like the third guy in the riley-forrest-‘no one fucking knows’ triumvirate), but:

Buffy - Oz if you removed his ‘cool and talented’-ness and replaced it with Angel’s ‘weird dorky pretentious loner’-ness. And some of Spike’s “I’m too cool jk please love me” as wellStar Trek TOS- Spock. Just Spock. Awkward, sassy, deliberately annoying, “I love you but I need to go spend 3 years on my own pretending I don’t have emotions now” Spock.Next Gen - weirdly kinda Data?DS9 - Odo, maybe… Firefly - Probably SimonTorchwood - kinda Owen? + Ianto’s sass

15. five most influential books over your lifetime.

Stories of Your Life and Others - Ted Chiang (short story collection). ‘Story of your Life’ in particular just weirdly gave me something to believe in when I really needed itA Brave New World - Aldous HuxleyHamlet - you should fucking know. I only read it this year and yes it is a play but it’s just inexpressibly beautiful and complexHarry Potter - you should also know. I’m not such a big fan anymore but it meant a lot to me as a kidArtemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer. See above. Also below.

16. if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?

I don’t think anything major would have changed. I think if I hadn’t been bullied in primary school I wouldn’t be quite so socially inept. I kind of got used to the whole “stories are my only friends” concept. Especially since in books it was always the outsider kid who got magical powers or saved the world or was special in some way, while everyone else was an undeveloped generic bully, so I got this whole idea that being a loner made me better in some way. I kind of cast everyone else as the generic bully because it made me feel better, and sometimes I still have to remind myself that popular =/= bad person.

Also I can never just accept the idea that someone might want to be my friend which is probably annoying as hell

17. would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?

Buffy, Star Trek and unproductive anger about social issues. Yeah, that’s pretty much me.

24. have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?

As has become even more apparent since I started trying to answer these questions, I don’t even really know me very well, so not really. I’m not a very good communicator, but sometimes I feel like I get my point across and make people think about something, which is nice

30. pick one of your favorite quotes.

Can I have all of Hamlet?

As I mentioned to you earlier, I’m kinda obsessed with this at the moment:

I have seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like  tears in rain. Time… to die…
