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! ♥

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!

Date: 2011-01-28 05:46 pm (UTC)Oh, sorry, did you say something *smirks*
avoiding work,. nice to meet you too *g*
Date: 2011-01-28 05:50 pm (UTC)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*

Date: 2011-01-28 05:51 pm (UTC)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
Re: avoiding work,. nice to meet you too *g*
Date: 2011-01-28 05:52 pm (UTC)It could be a multiple-layers sandnwich... *winks* (sorry for butting in, but I couldn't resist)

Date: 2011-01-28 06:04 pm (UTC)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! :)

Date: 2011-01-28 06:09 pm (UTC)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 :)

Date: 2011-01-28 06:11 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-01-28 06:13 pm (UTC)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
