Hello new (and old) friends! *waves*

nursedarryI'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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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-sistercassie_black12. Together we coerce recruit people to help with and/or attend the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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'releo_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:
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! ♥

Date: 2011-01-29 03:01 am (UTC)I don't even ship them...whatevs hahaor, barring that,
I would love to be the centre of a Captain Jack Harkness and Eleventh Doctor sandwich.
I do ship them...:D

Date: 2011-01-29 12:42 pm (UTC)As far as real people, though, I would love to be the centre of a Kim Hyun Joong and Ikuta Toma sandwich. (Both when they're a little red-haired. :D) Not that they've ever even met, but they're both singer/actors and REAL, so they get to be paired up.
Or perhaps I would love to be the centre of a Fred and George sandwich. (Substitutable with Hikaru and Kaoru from Ouran High School Host Club, I have a thing for mischevious red-headed twins apparently. ;D)

Date: 2011-01-29 04:04 am (UTC)Harry/Draco (Doi!)
Albus Severus/Scorpius (Can the filling be in a TWINKIE instead of a sandwich)? I know, I know, LAME.
Edward Cullen/Jacob Black (shut up)
The Weasley Twins (that's wrong on so many levels)
Snape and Lucius (you'll end up with many dark marks.....)
Too many pairings? Screw you - I'm in the middle of a divorce and ain't gettin' ANY. I'm entitled, damnit!!!!
Harry/Ron (Just remembered some visuals from DH part 1)
Draco/Some dude polyjuiced as Draco (WTF?)
All right. Thanks for having me. Good times.

Date: 2011-01-29 11:13 am (UTC)But the twins together, too...
Will have to think on this...
(no subject)
Date: 2011-01-29 11:55 am (UTC)As for the sandwich, I would love to be the centre of a Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg sandwich.
Hmm.. I don't know how that happened, I was trying to think of anyone other than H/D. *shrugs*

Date: 2011-01-29 12:18 pm (UTC)Damn, I've got no footie icons, but I approve of your sandwich!

Date: 2011-01-29 12:44 pm (UTC)(ETA, though I haven't had a jam and condensed milk sandwich in about 30 years and I could go one now ...)
(no subject)
Date: 2011-01-29 01:19 pm (UTC)Um, not a huge fan of condensed milk (unless in pumpkin pie), but the jam sounds good. Get the kettle on.

Date: 2011-01-29 02:27 pm (UTC)I think. I am having trouble getting past the Lucius part *lol* He's just RAWR! :D Also, Hermione or possibly Luna because of creativity :D
How often do the UK meetups happen and what part of the UK do they happen in? Considering how much the plane tickets to the UK are at the moment, I might actually try to go :D

Date: 2011-01-29 02:33 pm (UTC)We've had two meet-ups - one in London and one in Edinburgh. This year we're probably all meet up in Cardiff (we aim for a place with an airport:), and it'll hopefully be mid-Octoberish. They're just for a long weekend, so it's a great chance to use the excuse to sight-see for the rest of the time you're around!
We'd love to see you! Hope to have a few other people from Germany there this year, too! We've had people from all over before.

Date: 2011-01-29 05:48 pm (UTC)Ack, that's a cross-over! *considers* Xanatos would so kill Draco. After stealing his family fortune.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-01-29 06:47 pm (UTC)I've got fan art of him somewhere! Will dig it out and post if I can find it.
Agreed he'd kill each other, but they could compare sexy scars first.
*melts like whoa*
(no subject)
Date: 2011-01-29 08:42 pm (UTC)Ooh! Fan art would be awesome.
The sexy scar comparison would be the fun part. *drifts into a daydream of show-and-tell played by Xani and Draco*

Date: 2011-01-29 06:23 pm (UTC)I would love to be the centre of a Sirius and James sandwich with a side order of Remus. Actually, I'd rather just watch them sandwiching each other.

Date: 2011-01-29 08:24 pm (UTC)I have such a thing for James.
Both of them.
