That questions about me meme. Which I gacked from everywhere and is behind

What should I call you?

Some people on here call me Ter, and I get turps in rl, but most people call me Terri, because that's my name.

How old are you?

34.

Where do you live?

I live in a town called Houghton-Le-Spring which is in the north east of England. If you look at the map of the UK I'm just below where Scotland starts, near the coast.


What do you do with your time?


Not much to be honest. I look after my boys, look after the house, take out the dog. Go to the beach a lot and spend a lot of time online. Where I write, read and like to have fun with fandom. Fandom is my happy place. I also like to watch tv and listen to music and take long baths where I'll read and indulge in Lush related smelly fun.

I also go the cinema a lot ( when we can afford the cards *sadface* ) and bowling with the best friend every so often.

My life. So exciting.


What are some things you like to talk about? (in your LJ)

I tend to talk about whatever pops into my mind. Sometimes that's what I've been doing that day. Which is a whole lot of nothing mostly but I tell people anyway, because I'm just that generous *g* Sometimes what I've been thinking about in a fannish sense. Stories I want to read, stuff I'm writing. Ideas I've had. Sometimes I talk about things I like in fic. All the kinks I like, which are many and sometimes I'll happily decide I need to talk about neck biting, right now! I squee a lot. I'll talk about Chris ( most beautiful man in the world! ) Mikeyway, ( sex on bandy knock kneed legs ) Brennan ( sexiest mutant ever! )

Right now I'm talking about bandom a lot, because it's giving me glee! I post pictures, fic, memes at times. Everything I enjoy. Oh, and the badfic. I can't forget that ;)


vWhat are some things you don't like to talk about? (in your LJ)

I used to talk a lot about personal things back in the day. Not so much now. I have a lot of people who read this journal, and the vast majority will be here for the fannish stuff. Not for the real life crap. Saying that, those posts of angsty woe do slip in at times. If they do just stick it out, it doesn't take long for me to bounce back.

Also, meta is something I don't indulge in. I love fandom and fannish things for what they are. I don't want to dissect them. I'm not interested in the whys and hows and what fors.

I'm also perfectly happy on LJ, so I won't be posting threatening to leave.


Anything else you think I should know about you?

Hmmm. I don't know. I'm not that interesting. I like singing along to songs even when I don't know the words. I have a thing about mint sauce. I have to sleep with a fan on at night for the white noise. I read constantly, I have books in the bathroom, my bedroom, downstairs, in the car. I think fans are incredibly talented and there's art and fic out there that easily surpasses anything produced professionally. I love hugs and chatting but hesitate to approach anyone first in case they don't want me there. I find it hard to say the right words sometimes, and wish there was a way to say I've read what you said and I'm here even though I don't know what to say.

I comment a lot and love getting comments but still get intimidated by certain people which means I go all silly and lurk. I love the colours yellow and blue and climbing between freshly washes sheets. I iron sitting down watching tv and love that Corey still wants me to go up with him at bedtime each night so I can kiss him on the nose and say I love him. I love fucked up fic, the darker the better, but I also enjoy the sweetest of fluff. I'm a h/c addict. Seriously. Want me to flail over a fic, write h/c.

Many times I wonder why so many people read this journal, because man, I'm nothing special. But I'm so glad you do.



ETA: [livejournal.com profile] stubbleglitter is asking about the popslash remix challenge here. Go and have a look if you're interested.

I shall now move into fretting should I join or not in five, four, three, two, one. NOW!

I wouldn't say that looking after the house and looking after your boys equals 'not doing much'. I always thought being a housewife was a job of its own; except for the part where you actually don't get paid and you kinda never get any week-ends nor vacations...

I love fucked up fic, the darker the better, but I also enjoy the sweetest of fluff. I'm a h/c addict. Seriously. Want me to flail over a fic, write h/c.

Lol I could have written that part :-)

If only you did get paid for being a housewife. It would be nice to have some money *g*

Don't be silly! Taking care of the boys, looking after your house and taking the dog out are major accomplishments! Kudos to you for keeping up with that along with all you do online! Reading your LJ, the popnewsletter, and all the fun and squeeing you do, you just help to make LJ a fun and better place! You may say you're nothing special, but to us (to me) I think you're fantastic! Thank you for having me on your friendlist so that I can enjoy all you have to share! :)

You should! Though maybe in another fandom because if it were popslash and I were beta reading I'd be flailing too much to see *g*

I love your answers to the last question. Also:

I so wish too, I always have tabs that have been open for days, waiting for me to comment.

Yeah, I hate when I hit posts I want to comment to, but just can't because the words aren't there. Things sound so trite, or redundant and sometimes hugs doesn't seem enough.

Hmmm.

I've not been around much yet, but I have to say that I find you splendid. I'm also glad you did this meme, since it's most helpful to the newbie. And thus: I am snagging. [I WILL start giving *back*, pinky swear.]

The other thing I wanted to say - I'm finding that popslash fans are quite possibly the most friendly of all the RPS crew. You -and your flist- are just lovely! It makes me so pleased to be here.

I'm glad you're doing the meme. I love things like that, it helps you get to know people more easily.

And thank you. I think you're very nifty myself!

Oh, I agree. That's why I did it. I also tend to keep my cards rather close to my chest, personally - so this kind of thing is 'character-building'. :P

Mutual Appreciation Society FTW! \o/ Hee.

It's true - I've tangled myself in several bandslash fandoms and skirted the edges of the CW crew... popslash so far is the most outright friendly. You are more than lucky, dude - you're blessed. Which is as it should be.

*smooches*
