I saw this over on dieastra 's journal and thought it looked like fun....


"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer*."

I'll give it a shot. *grins*

I collect dragons (is anyone surprised by this?) and I have two full curio cabinets full, except for one shelf that holds all eleven of my Doctor Who figures as well as my Jack and Ianto figures.

I also love cats although I'm not currently the servant of one. :)

I'll give it a go, too.

My great loves fandom-wise are Doctor Who & Star Wars at the mo.

I have a cat-child named Maximus. He's a huge black beast with 6 toes on each front paw. He rules my life!

My biggest passion is my beloved Sea Shepherd Conservation Society & I'm an on-shore volunteer, but someday I'd like to sail on one of our four ships.

My favourite animals are cats, meerkats, wolves, whales, and harp seals. I love the big cats, too.

I'm second-generation Irish-American and I'm currently considering getting a Celtic tattoo.

My style goddesses are Amy Pond from DW, Alice Cullen from Twilight, and Frankie Paige from the film Stigmata.

I'm hopelessly in love with Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, and Gabriel Byrne. I will watch anything they're in.

I'm a neat-freak that would put Ianto to shame. ;p

I love the heat & hate the cold.

I speak French.

I'm a psychic with no control over my "gift." Third one in my family.

I collect black and white cats of all sorts including once a live one - my first owner. Just for fun I'll add something else. My favourite place is Scotland but I think the most beautiful place I've ever been to is Three Cliffs Bay in South Wales.

Uhm, hmm.

I'm Sarah. I work in IT for an organization that saves children. I am married to my work. I grew up collecting knives and heart charms.

I share an apartment with my coworker, and long to live in England. I'm an occasional actress, an occasional dramaturg, an occasional editor, and an occasional writer/poet. Most of those things haven't happened in awhile, because work.

So. Hi!

Well, since I can't help but comment on your fics...why not?

Alyce (please, no Wonderland jokes). I'm asexual, a practicing heathen, an Aspie, a synaesthete--but a crocheter before anything else! I've raised parakeets since I was nine, I love the Green Bay Packers NFL team, and I could live on strawberry yogurt and coffee. I'm a gourmet cook, though, so there's no danger of that actually happening.

I like lists, and I speak in parenthetical expressions.

My biggest fandom loves are Ghostbusters ( Egon/Janine is my number one OTP), the Monkees, and the first two seasons of Torchwood.

I studied French for six years and plan to relocate to Provence, assuming my current career shift pays off so I don't have to be so tied down. If not--I'll just retire there.

Oh, and I talk too much.

Name is Kerri. I work in the legal department of an insurance company as a paralegal. Some of my co-workers are bat shit crazy and one was yelling about someone stealing her water off her desk today. I live in The City That Never Sleeps.

I love to go on vacation. I hope to make a trip across the pond later this year. I have a gay best friend who I sometimes run my smut by to make sure I got things right. he is also my sometimes travel companion who will be making the trip with me this year.

I got into writing almost twenty years ago and have been doing it on and off since then.

In university I took a set design class where as my final project I had to design and build a scale set for A Midsummers Night Dream.

Hi. I'm insanely shy and socially inept but rather chatty. I have one almost grown-up child, and am happily enslaved by two adorable cats.
Last year my father died of a prolonged illness. Before that my husband took his own life, so at times I can be very melancholy and sad. I bounce in and out of commenting/reading mode, depending on my state of mind. I'll often force myself to read/comment as a way of trying to engage with life outside my gloomy thoughts.
Before sorrow swamped me I used to write in the Harry Potter fandom. I've written hundreds and hundreds of drabbles, and some stories archived at AO3.
My son actually introduced me to Torchwood.

My heart belongs to Hephaestion Amyntoros, who was Alexander The Great's lover, he has been part of my life since forever due to my Greek great grandparents.

I sometimes read books not in the right order. When there is an A plot and an B plot but my hero is in much danger in the A plot then I don't care what the other people in the B plot do and only read all the scenes with the hero first ;) And after I have finished I go back to the beginning and read the rest to see how it all fits together. Now that I know that my hero is save I am more relaxed.

Also, when my friend lent me her John Barrowman biography, I thought it might be boring to start right at the beginning, you know, with the "I was born and raised" part, so I just flipped it open at any page and jumped into it right in the middle. Only then I figured out that his biography jumps around from story to story anyway, and is not in a linear order ;)
