Horses are good company -- The Witcher

Daredevil on Netflix has many problems but one thing I love are the characters. They are flawed people who care about each other in flawed ways, and they grow and change.

13. Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?

No, but "queering up straight people" is one that only me and were_duck have; I stole it from her.

14. What is your favourite subject to discuss on Dreamwidth?

Judging my from most popular tags: Health, living with pain, friends, work, articles, books, tv, memes, "personal", pictures, recs, feminism, wiscon.

Personal is kind of a big category, encompassing emotional reflections and things-- I do use writing here as therapy sometimes. I like doing movie and TV reviews, panel write-ups from conventions, and chatter about my life.

15. What 5 things are you obsessed with currently?

Obsessed is way too strong of a word for me. But I'll play anyway.

Breaking Bad, a tv show about a high school chemistry teacher who cooks crystal meth
My plants, and gardening. I'm waiting for it to warm up enough for serious gardening to begin!
Sim City, a way to shut my brain off and build virtual cities
Turkey sandwiches with mustard
Vests and jackets and coats; style in general.

9. Tell me about your default icon.

"Ski Pluto" is from the iconomicon. At one point I think I saw the series of posters this came from-- An SF take on vintage travel posters. I simply love the image and have had it long enough that it's come to be "me".

10. Pick 10 random icons from your userpics and tell me about them.


This is the kid from Pitch Black, one of my favorite movies. I read this kid as queer and/or genderqueer.


The cover from Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan.


Amelie, from the film. She's a character I identify with, or have at certain times of my life. She's painfully shy and has a hard time connecting to others.


Sam from True Blood. I identify with him too. I don't want to spoil anyone who has not seen the show; perhaps I'll write an entry about his character and why he's so interesting to me. But first I need to catch up on True Blood!


This is the actor who plays Godric on True Blood. I love his expression here, the reflections on the glass; it's an arty and moody image and for some reason I loooooove it.


My childhood hero, Amelia Earhart!


Horses are simply the most beautiful animals in the world.


Simon from Firefly, a character I strongly identify with. One day I will write a public entry about how I view him as a closeted gay character.


Neko Case in a pickup truck. I love her so so much I cannot even say.


It's a fuzzy monster talking on the phone. It needs no explanation.

4. What do you do online when you're not on DW?

Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Netflix

I am ambivalent about Facebook but have warmed to it some recently; it's OK as long as I keep certain boundaries. I also like playing Scramble there. I don't really keep up on Twitter but do try to check in on it once a day at least (same user name as here). I have G-chat but I'm not always the best chatter; I think it goes with me just not being that verbal/chatty of a person. Some people I do really like chatting with though! I use G docs for writing and making lists, and Flickr for photo hosting. I read fic at AO3 or on DW (or sometimes on my Kindle).

Bonus 4.5 On the computer, not online: Mostly playing SimCity! Sometimes watching movies on DVD.

5. How about when you're not on the computer?

Socializing (including hanging out with my girlfriend), walking, reading, working, sleeping, or eating. I'm afraid my life is not very exciting, but I like it this way. I rest a lot. This summer I hope to garden, and of course I'm always taking pictures.
