Smiths is doing my head in. I have a �15 gift voucher for them from work. So, since I don't buy much there as its cheaper elsewhere, I thought I'd get Two Towers extended DVD, like I did last year with Fellowship. So I go into Poole before Christmas and every shop has it exept for Smiths. So then I went to Reading yesterday and every shop had it except Smiths. Next weekend I'll try Oxford - they'd better have it!

I did a bit of research into Australia. I have to go to Borders though and read some guidebooks. I have to decide where I want to go and how to get there. Or pick a few options that I can take to STA Travel and find out prices. If they can cope with anything that far ahead anyway.

I did buy Fellowship game though, since it was cheap. I was doing quite well until I died. Haven't made it out of the Shire though... On the plus side I died just before Stargate so it was well-timed in the end.

Since fileg and undonne have done it, I'll do the LJ meme as well. Why not?

1. your live journal "user name" & what it means?

Now here's a long story. It starts in my first year at uni when we'd play Quake all night. I needed to come up with a name for that and thought of Paranoid Android. Sadly, unless I took the space out, Quake wouldn't let me have a name that long. So I went with Paranoid which did describe me well. It went with the Garbage song, I Think I'm Paranoid as well.

So far, so good. Then I got a computer of my own (which I still have, old as it is) and a freeserve account to connect to the internet with. They operated a system where you have an e-mail address which is name@something.freeserve.co.uk. I thought I'd use nic as the name and paranoid as the something. Except that someone already had it. So I can up with the angel part from Angel (who was still in Buffy at the time).

Someone else got to paranoidangel on lj before me though. I don't have to explain where the 42 comes from do I?

2. on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your livejournal represent who you are?

Bollox knows. I don't do 1-10 scales, I have enough of that at work.

3. how much about your life do you post to lj?

Not at that much really. I'll post stuff that I'll tell friends, but not stuff I would only tell really close friends.

4. Is there anything you refuse to post about?

Oh, yes. But I refuse to say what it is because that would contradict my answer.

5. on a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?

1? See answer to 2.

6. from who/how did you find out about lj?

From bored.com, many years ago. I didn't join at the time because someone already had paranoidangel.

7. has anyone ever joined lj because of you?

I don't think so.

8. what proportion of your posts are friends only?

None so far. But then I've only just started putting my posts on lj as well, so that may change in the future.

9. what is your favourite interest on lj?

All of them. Else why would they be there?

10. Has anything on lj ever caused you to establish, rethink, or even change your belief or position on something?

I don't think so. Can't remember where I read half of the stuff I do anyway.

11. how often do you respond / comment on other peoples journals?

Sometimes. Usually if I know them from elsewhere and I have something to say.

12. do you prefer to write in your journal, read other journals?

Read others, I suppose. I do more reading than writing anyway.

13. have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on lj?

Nope.

14. have you ever banned someone from your journal?

No.

15. who are your favourite lj friend(s) and why?

All of them. Otherwise why would I have friended them?

16. how many of your LJ friends have you actually met?

One. But to be fair, most of them are in another country.

17. of all of the people on lj you know of, who is the most like you?

Nic has a name most like mine

18. why are you most likely to add someone to your friends list?

Because I know them from elsewhere or I am interested in what they have to say.

19. do you automatically add friends to your journal if they add you first?

Yes. I figure that if they find what I have to say interesting I'll also be interested in what they say.

20. what is the most likely reason you wouldn't add someone to your friends list?

They bored the pants off me?

21. is your "significant other" on lj?

You mean Orlando Bloom?

22. have you ever wanted to meet someone on lj?

Yes. All the ones on my friends list I haven't met.

Edit: They're playing Mandy on the radio at the moment. I can't quite get over the real thing - I keep expecting Angel to sing it badly
