Part I: Basics

1. Name? ABN 'round these parts.

2. Age-ish? Late 20s

3. Whereabouts are you? Outside Baltimore, Maryland.


Part II: Interests

4. What sorts of things do you post about? A variety of things - posts based around my interests, fandom thoughts, some reviews and reaction posts, social commentary, and occasionally I'll talk about real life.

5. What are your hobbies/interests? Writing, history, genealogy, mythology, religion (any, I don't care), social issues (though I like to think I'm not a Social Justice Warrior).

6. Favorite books/plays/etc.? Chesapeake by James Michener, the first two books in the Earth's Children series, Death of a Salesman, the Harry Potter series (all of them except the second and sixth, they were okay), Wicked (the musical), To Kill a Mockingbird, The Importance of Being Earnest, Persepolis, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, The Lovely Bones, Ghostbread.

7. Favorite movies? Secondhand Lions, Saved!, the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie (I didn't really like the sequels), Father of the Bride, Legally Blonde, Little Miss Sunshine (even if it is a darker version of National Lampoon's Vacation).

8. Favorite shows? Mad Men, Parks and Recreation, Friends (I recently had a 90's revival), The Mindy Project (it's smarter than it sounds), Firefly, Buffy, and the first few seasons of The Office.

9A. Are you active in any fandoms? I still read fic for and enjoy talking about Earth's Children and Harry Potter, though I wouldn't say I'm very active. I also dabble in Mad Men, Parks and Recreation and Jossverse. In general I love discussing pretty much anything, though, as long as I know something about it. I'll read a Supernatural-related post even though I've only seen maybe eight episodes total. Maybe. :P

9B. If "yes", do you have any ships? Not in the "OTP" sense like I did years ago... I generally like canon ships, especially for Harry Potter. So if it's canon, or implied to have been canon, chances are I ship it.

Part IV: LJ/Social Media

16. Do you have a friending policy? Don't talk about my flocked posts.

17. Is there anything you specifically don't want to see? If you're into fanfic, I'm really not comfortable with chan. Also, I don't have any tolerance for sexism, racism or homophobia.

18. Do you have any other social media platforms you'd like to be added to? I have the same name at Dreamwidth, so feel free to add me there. :)

Why not, indeed...

Part I: Basics

1. Name? (Real, nickname, LJ name): Aggiebell90 aka Julie aka Jules

2. Age-ish? 45

3. Whereabouts are you? East South-Central (ish) Texas

Part II: Interests

4. What sorts of things do you post about? (Real life, fandom, knitting, bingo, etc.) Lots of real life, lots of kid stories, fandom squeeing when I have something to squee about, the choirs I sing/ring in, science geekery, plants, knitting, college football (specifically Fightin' Texas Aggie football) during football season...

5. What are your hobbies/interests? Hobbies: reading, writing (and beta-reading), knitting... um... singing (choral) and handbell ringing. Interests: Science! (especially biology, especially especially genetics/plant genetics). Also, grammar

6. Favorite books/plays/etc.?: Oh, Lord. Let's see... The entire Harry Potter Series, the entire Percy Jackson series, Catherine Marshall's Christy (my go-to comfort book), To Kill a Mockingbird, and whatever I'm reading at the moment

7. Favorite movies? The Avengers/Captain America/Iron Man (series)--I've been really into these lately; Enchanted; Brave; The Breakfast Club (and all those '80s coming of age flicks).

8. Favorite shows? On television? Couldn't tell you, since I really don't watch TV at all. I do like Castle, but I haven't seen a single episode this season for some reason.

Web Series: I am completely and totally addicted to The Lizzie Bennet Diaries right now.

9A. Are you active in any fandoms? I still read and occasionally write/beta for HP, and I lurk in The Avengers/Marvel (Movie-verse, mostly, because I don't know the rest of the source material), Percy Jackson, and Lizzie Bennet.

9B. If "yes", do you have any ships? Mostly canon in HP. My OTP is Harry/Ginny, and I ship Ron/Hermione by default. Also, does Neville/me count??? (Not really, I just ♥ him so...) In Percy Jackson (and offshoots), I ship Percy/Annabeth (which is canon) and Rachel/Nico (Which is not. Don't ask, I just do) and Jason/Piper. In Avengers, I ship Pepper/Tony (because canon), and then Darcy Lewis with almost everyone (but especially Steve and Clint).

And in Lizzie Bennet, I ship Lizzie/Darcy (hard) and Jane/Bing (because, again, canon).

Part III: Word Association

10. King - Kong

11. Avocado - Guacamole. Yum.

12. Vampires - *rolls eyes* (no, seriously, that's the first thing I do when I hear the word)

13. Snake - garden

14. Lady Gaga - Meh

15. Amazon - books

Part IV: LJ/Social Media

16. Do you have a friending policy? Not really, I just need to know who you are before I friend you. Almost everything I post is flocked, though.

17. Is there anything you specifically don't want to see? Character bashing. Or, really, bashing, period (and especially religion/political belief, etc-bashing). I have absolutely no issues with you disagreeing about beliefs, but I have a really hard time when someone says, "Everyone who is a Christian/Muslim/Atheist/Republican/Democrat/pick a label doesn't have 2 brain cells to rub together," no matter how different their beliefs are with mine.

18. Do you have any other social media platforms you'd like to be added to? I'm aggiebell90 on Dreamwidth, Tumblr, and twitter, so go for it if you want to.
