elvenpiratelady1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
I got it fromcat_empress, who asked me these five questions:
1. Your three favourite Silmarillion characters and why.
*wibble* I can only choose three?
Melian - because she became an active player in Middle-earth unlike most of her brethren, because she was Galadriel in the First Age, and because her life with Thingol was pretty cute. Until, y'know, the whole Kinslaying and Silmaril business.
Morwen - she's managed to sneak into just about all of my50lyricsfanfic stories (20 at last count). She escaped from Dorthonion with Emeldir and might therefore know how to fight, had three children and lost them all one way or another, scared the crap out of the invading Easterlings for more than ten years and so much more. I also love her relationship with Hurin, although they spent most of their lives apart.
Maedhros - because I also know what it's like to be the eldest and be left in charge. He managed to curb his brothers' violent tendencies sometimes, and though he ultimately got swallowed up in the curse with the rest of them I think he has the most potential for redemption. And of course there's the slash with Fingon.
2. Favourite Discworld character and why.
The Nac Mac Feegle as a collective, because they do all the stuff I wish I could get away with. :D
3. Five places you'd like to travel to and why.
New Zealand - I've been to the South Island twice, but I'd love to go to the North Island and see all the volcanoes.
Scandinavia - for the Northern Lights.
Antarctica - according to my lecturer there is awesome geology down there, and penguins.
Spain - because there are lots of pretty castles, anddracoena lives there.
Canada - because... er... it's Canada? And there are moose!
4. Favourite uni subject out of everything you've done so far.
Latin, which I started this semester. Not only is it improving my vocab (or at least there are instances of 'hey, so that's where [insert obscure word] comes from!') but it's got some awesome words itself. I don't know how to say please or thankyou, but I do now the word for nail-clippings (praesegmina, if you're wondering). Plus my lecturer is from Cambridge and used to do theatre, so classes are always interesting.
5. Favourite trashy novel.
Tales of the Otori. :D
