Hello new (and old) friends! *waves*

[nursedarry]

I've just re-read my entry in that H/D Friending Meme and OMG, I sound like the dullest twat in the universe.

That may be mostly true, but not entirely, and if dysonrules hadn't been so bored at work and pounced on my post two seconds after it went up, I could have changed it, but NOOOooooooo!!!

Am thinking I might just delete it and make some shit up or post a funny gif or something.



* I'm older than you; this I can pretty much guarantee. If I'm not, I will be soon.

* I'm a nurse and public health specialist. I work for Berkshire West Primary Care Trust until it goes *poof* into the re-shuffled NHS ether in 2012. I've also been a practice nurse, a theatre (OR) nurse, a school nurse, and a unit nurse for the Scottish film and television industry. Before all that, I worked for the CDC in Atlanta. Before nursing school (at the Royal Free Hospital, London) and graduate school (at Tulane University, New Orleans), I did a BS in (physical) anthropology and biology (also at Tulane). So, I'm happy to talk about australopithecines if nursing isn't your bag.

* In fact, I'm happy to talk about anything. Ask anyone, I will talk until the cows come home.

* I am married to a nice boy from Edinburgh (and I mean boy; he's much younger than I am), who's an aircraft engineer in the Royal Air Force. Shortly after we married, he and I thought it might be nice to a have a baby... until my first scan, when the midwife kindly informed us we'd be having two babies. I therefore have a six-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl, who nearly almost, but not always, are joys to be around. (The same can also be said of my husband.)

* I play in a few fandoms, HP, obviously, also BSG, the Dune series (all of it), Star Trek (any incarnation), and my first love, the original Star Wars Trilogy. I'm also a fan of yaoi, and would marry Youka Nitta if it were legal and she'd have me.

* I don't post often, unless it's to squee about something or ask you for a favour. I do occasionally post the odd (and I do mean odd), piece of fic, which I hope you'll like, but it's okay if you don't. I absolutely LOVE how fandom is a place for all likes and dislikes and love that on LJ you can meet people who share these things.

* Speaking of sharing, I share my brain with several people in this place, most notably my soul-sister cassie_black12. Together we coerce recruit people to help with and/or attend the hp_uk_meetups. Believe me, you'll hear more about that as the year goes by. I also mod a couple of things, and edit here and there. My oldest and dearest RL friends, ladyoneill and delphipsmith are also here, along with the person I know I can bitch to 24/7, the marvelous kilter.

* Along with fandom folk, I also love baseball, the gym, sushi, shopping, roller coasters, chocolate, iced tea, the cinema, trains, R&B music, mysteries, the beach, the mountains, snakes and spiders (yes, real ones), men in uniform, and meeting new people.

If you've read through all that (or even if you haven't), I know you're probably bored now. I'll leave you with this simple task in order for me to learn a little something about you.

Please replace the Xs with the names of people who AREN'T your OTP. For instance, if you're leo_draconis and you put "Harry" and "Draco", I'll know you're lying, and will hit you over the head with your own spleen (don't think that I can't!).

Copy and paste into the comments, please:

<b>I would love to be the centre of a</b> XXXXX <b>and</b> XXXXX <b>sandwich.</b>

It might be useful to include the name of the fandom, as I'm not familiar with all the sandboxes people play in here (although I know the more obvious ones - Inception, Merlin, Dr Who, various manga).

It's lovely to know all of you and I hope to see you around! ♥

I would love to be the centre of a Draco and Harry sandwich.

You ain't that boring! :D I wasn't bored. Or maybe I'm just as weird or boring as well. -.-

YOUKA NITTA. ZOMIGOD. totally adore her work. I've read almost everything of hers that is free online. I would love to buy her stuff but I don't have my own money and it's harder to get where I am. :( there IATA so many yaoi's that I'd love to own.

HARU WO DAITeITA is my favourite, and I've read a lot of yaoi to the point of obsession. Iwaki and Kato remind me of HarryDraco so much.

See me! I'm around!

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

jkasdgkahgfgjfgffffffjjk!

If I were to fill out that question, it would definitely be Iwaki and Katou....

But they're so cute together, I'm not sure I'd want to get between them.

Oh, who am I kidding? There's some great HwD fanfic out there, too.

[cassie-black12.livejournal.com]

*YAWNS*

Oh, sorry, did you say something *smirks*

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Yes, I said what the icon says.

avoiding work,. nice to meet you too *g*

[ladyoneill.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's possible to be in a sandwich with nine (ten? I've lost track!) men.

If I had to choose in this fandom it would be Severus and Lucius and then Delphi would want me dead so that's probably not the right way to go...

Spike and Angelus? Well, they'd probably kill me, too.

Can I just watch either Dean and Cas or Sam and Gabriel go at it? I wouldn't want to get in the way of angels and their men. (That would be Supernatural, my current obsession).

Really, I'm old and tired. I'll just watch any of my men go at it with each other. *g*

Re: avoiding work,. nice to meet you too *g*

I don't think it's possible to be in a sandwich with nine (ten? I've lost track!) men.

It could be a multiple-layers sandnwich... *winks* (sorry for butting in, but I couldn't resist)

[hmittens.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Colin and Bradley sandwich.

This made me giggle a lot xD

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

I think I'm being kidnapped and taken to see Colin on stage in a couple of weeks.

I suppose I wouldn't throw him out of bed for eating biscuits :D

*waves*

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

Hello there! *waves*

Wow! Lots of stuff I didn't know even though I've been here for awhile :) You're one of the sweetest people ever, did ya know that? I loved to be 'coerced' to attend last year's meet-up, and I so wish I could afford to go this year too, but what with this issue I'm having with my credit card and whatnot... I am totally broke :(((

I so worship you now for the job in the Scottish film and television industry ;)

About the form... BUT I WANT TO BE IN A SANDWICH WITH AT LEAST ONE OF MY OTPS!! O_O

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh... I am going with my one of OTPs regardless :P It's the truth:

I would love to be the centre of a Obi-Wan and Anakin sandwich. (Star Wars prequel trilogy)

or

I would love to be the centre of a Ewan and Hayden sandwich.

Any option is awesome! :)

[winterstorrm.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Gwaine and Percival sandwich.

Ah, f*ck it, the rest of the knights can play too!

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

And why not? Lots of armour to clunk about in. Hee hee. I like your idea of a medieval party!

[luciusmistress.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Lucius and Draco sandwich.

Mmm... Malfoys...

Uh, where was I? Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask: do you have any idea yet when this year's meetup is going to be? (If I have to miss classes or work to get there, I'd like to start preparing a good excuse as early as possible XD)

Also, spiders? Yikes! *runs away* I'm about a million times worse than Ron with spiders :)

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm.... sounds yummy!!

I'll protect you from those nasty spiders!

Well, not the ones in the Forest, but maybe the castle.

*smooches you*

[leo-draconis.livejournal.com]

Pssh, way to single me out! And that IS the sandwich I'd like to be in. But, actually, I've always said I'd love to be the filling in a Malfoy (Draco/Lucius) sandwich. Mmmm, Malfoys. And if Draco's not allowed at all you may substitute Snape.

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

I DO like a bit of Lucius/Snape myself, now and again.

GOOD CHOICE!

Your spleen is safe :D

[kubrick-potter.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Castiel and Dean sandwich.

This was really hard! I normally would put a HP character but I thought I'd choose different fandom and I love Castiel so so much from Supernatural :D

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

You need to have a chat with ladyoneill above, if you're not already friends. *whispers* I think she's a little obsessed*

But don't tell her I said so :DDDD

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Pansy and Astoria sandwich.

You're not boring! ♥

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Thanks, doll - I know I'm not boring, but damn, if I didn't come across that way in that meme! Everyone else's posts were so... shiny.

Pansy/Astoria - RRRawwwrrrrr! I like a bit of Pansy/Ginny, too :D

[besamislabios]

It's been lovely to get to know you. ♥

Weirdly enough, I never really picture myself in the middle of anything, haha. I prefer to watch the guys, and stay out of it.

I would love Draco to be the centre of a Bill and Charlie sandwich.

:P

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Ah... there's an idea. Or two.

Gracias for the lovely image. I have SUCH a thing for Charlie!

[celestlyn.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Harry and Draco sandwich.

Except I'm not really into threesomes. Oh, well.

You are far from boring. Not even a little bit. I'm far more boring and betting I'm older than you. (Nope, I'm not telling.)

I have no other fandoms, but I love Merlin. And, I just finished watching the Torchwood series on Netflix and I hafta say, OMG! So hot! And I loved how it ended.

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Hee hee- thank you darling. I know I'm not boring, but last night when I wrote that, damn if I didn't sound that way!

Wiki on over to Paint It Black by the Stones. That was Number One on the day I was born :D

[nicevenn.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Anakinand Obi-Wan sandwich.

:D

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

You'll have to fight girlofavalon for them, Malfoy!

♥

[jtsbbsps-dk.livejournal.com]

the beach, the mountains, snakes and spiders (yes, real ones), men in uniform, and meeting new people *LOL* the 'men in uniform' made me snort xD ♥

I would love to be the centre of a Harry and definitely-old-enough-to-be-legal!Teddy sandwich.

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

I LIKE YOUR THINKING!

But clearly Aizawa doesn't.

[lilyginny27.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Ron and Draco sandwich.

Ew. Ginger. lol!

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

THAT is why I love H/D/R fics!

PERFECT!

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Harry and Harry sandwich.

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Yes, I gathered that from your post on the meme :)

Fair enough. You could have said worse.

Much worse.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

♥

I don't think you're boring, bb <3

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

And I love you :D

♥

But boy do I think I could have filled that thing in a bit more creatively!!! Hee hee.

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I would love to be the centre of a ALL THE BOYS and ALL THE CHEESECAKE sandwich.

I'll be thinking about this for the rest of the day, thanks. XD

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

"One bishie and cheescake sandwaich for the fangirl in green!"

[being-here.livejournal.com]

I am so very sure that you aren't older than me ;p

I have younger twin sisters and my mum only found out 6 weeks before they were born (in Dublin in the 1970s - no scans then!) It's a fun thing to happen as I understand. Oh yes. :D

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

That must have been lots of fun, indeed! Are they identical or non-identical? I daresay without the scans I would have also not known. I was carrying very "neat" as they say, and high, so would have just been told I was having a huge baby (hubby is tall).

Like I said in a previous comment, Paint It Black was Number One the day I was born. So...who's older?

[brinimc.livejournal.com]

Damnit! Now that I posted on dysons questionaire thing that H/D is now my OTP, I can't put them! Curses!

Haha, I almost want to say something bad like Ron and Draco! LOL! Imagine how awful that would be!!! And I can't say Ron and Harry cause that would just be wierd. But all three of them?? There would be so much fighting but I like it. And they would keep wanting to be better than the others. Lol!

Oh, right. I put HD together. Not allowed.

And I'm not really attracted to the adult males (*huge fandom gasp*).

Okay, okay, I'll say the centre of a Ron and Spike sandwich. That's random, and I think it would be interesting to see the fighting. :D

Now that I'm done with my stupid long answer, I think I should watch other fandoms besides HP and Whedonverse so I know what people are talking about...

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

I like Harry/Ron!

I like Harry/Draco/Ron, too!

And LOL, Spike :D Always been an Angel fan myself, but yes, this also works :D

Tell me about it - I just don't have time anymore for fandomS. I can barely manage one!

And I loved your answer!

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

I really don't want to be the center of any sandwich I like my guys to go at it and I'll watch *rawr*

Elijah/Dom and Harry/Draco ummmm yes please :)

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

I suppose you could put all four of them together! Mmmmm

[geneva2010.livejournal.com]

I would love to be the centre of a Vincent and Catherine sandwich.Does anyone get the reference? I'm going with a little teeny bit kinky this day!

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Not sure I get the references, but I'll have a good think!

[joan-waterhouse.livejournal.com]

Not my OTP you say? Well, in that case

I would love to be the centre of a Simon (Misfits)and Finn (Glee) sandwich.

:D

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

But of course! With Katie thrown in there, too :)

[kitty_fic]

If I can't choose Harry and Draco. . .

I would love to be the centre of a Albus Severus and Scorpius sandwich.

Yes, I do cheat! ^_~

[sabinefrappe.livejournal.com]

OOOOOHHHHH! I second that. You have great taste, bebe!

[veritas03.livejournal.com]

Well this was a cool post. I loved learning more about you. :) But, yeah, I'm older - by about 5 years I think. *sighs*
No OTP sandwich?? Well, then I can't put Harry or Draco in there with anyone else either. Let's see then...

I would love to be the centre of a Charlie and Bill sandwich.

Charlie was easy to come up with, wasn't sure who to put with him. But then Bill volunteered (quite eagerly I might add) and the Hot Ginger Sandwich was born.

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Good choices! And I thought for sure I was older than you! I'm 1966.
