Hello new (and old) friends! *waves*
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![[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! ♥
