#reading-angel

1. How many languages can you speak (for whatever value of ‘speak’ you prefer)? I can fluently speak 3 languages: English, French, and Spanish. I can read and understand Portuguese, Italian, and Catalan, and can speak these to a more limited extent (ie I could have a conversation and make myself understood, but I couldn't give a speech).

2. Would you feel safe walking through your area at night? Safe is a pretty relative term...I would be willing to walk through my area at night because I am sometimes a bit...non-cautious when it comes to that sort of thing (I want to be able to walk around at night, so I will, damn it), but I might look over my shoulder periodically. And carry a blowtorch. I mean what?

3. Do you follow any sports? I follow football (soccer) fairly religiously. I am a fan of Arsenal FC, and regularly attend matches. 

4. Painting or sculpture? I prefer to paint, but I love looking at sculpture.

5. What’s a subject you’d really like to write fandom meta on? Pretty much everything about HDM. I'd like to just do a long chapter-by-chapter meta analysis of the entire series. This may actually happen at some point.

6. Do you have a pet? Tell me about them! (Borrowed off Ro because I also want to hear about everyone’s adorable furballs). I do not have a pet. There are several reasons for this, but one of them is that I have a suspicion that I am the Grim Reaper for pets. I had fish for four years, and not one single fish in the 20gallon tank I had ever lived longer than two weeks. I had the water tested by several different people, all of whom told me it was perfect. I tried several species of fish, various types of food, etc etc. Nothing changed. The various fish stores I visited were all a bit puzzled, finding nothing wrong with the tank, or the water, or the care I gave the fish. I figured it would be best not to try my luck with other animals. I'd like a dolphin though.

7. Do you use any tumblr extensions? Nope, though I might cave for tumblr saviour

8. Did/do you have an LJ? I do actually have an LJ, and I even use it occasionally (mostly just cross-posting all my fic). 

9. Have you ever been involved in fandom wank? Not really. When it comes to fandom wank I tend to hang out on the fringes and bash my fists on the keyboard periodically, but I rarely say much, if anything.

10. Blade or gun/bow? Basically, melee or ranged? gahhh I can't choose! It would depend on the situation and opponent.

11. Favourite underappreciated book/show/game/&c. which you wish would get more fandom love? The Riddle-Master Trilogy, by Patricia McKillip. It is absolutely beautiful and incredible, and almost no one has read it. And this is unacceptable because I need fanart and fic and everything. It makes me sad. (I'm only not saying HDM here because even the HDM fandom looks enormous compared to Riddle-Master)
