Since I just added some people to my LJ friends list, since they might decide to read my LJ, I thought I'd write a quick blurb about me.

I wrote a fairly long post about my job a while ago and since that's not the most important thing about me, I won't expand on it further (unless anyone wants me to).

Mostly what I've been talking about recently is moving, since I'm moving house in just under two weeks and it's true that it's one of the most stressful things you can do. The other most important thing in my life is Rotaract, which is a club for 18-30 year olds to have fun and raise money and help the local community. Our club has seven people in it, so we all get involved with everything we do. But I'm also on the district exec and am on the committee that's running the national conference next May. So that keeps me quite busy.

Fandom-wise it's mostly Doctor Who at the moment. I seem to have become known for having a thing about Harry (if the SJA signing was any indication). But I've never quite left (if only because I'm clinging on by my fingernails) Atlantis and Lord of the Rings (with the latter I was known for having a thing about Elrond).

Two years ago I managed to get myself into roleplaying on LJ, where you do get to play fandom major characters, where I play mostly Harry (which surprises everyone, I'm sure) and if you want more of my writing about Harry, his LJ ( shot_my_shoes) is the place to find it. There's also Jo Grant, Ian Chesterton and Teal'c, who is new and scares me. A bit.

A quick note about how I use my LJ. Everything starts from the blog, which is a far better way of finding old posts. I read my LJ friends list by RSS Feed, which I prefer lots and lots and don't know how anyone can read anything on their friends list any other way. In my case friends list is a very big misnomer, it's actually a reading list. I have friends who have LJs who I don't read, for whatever reason, but there is a life outside LJ. And I rarely friends lock stuff anyway.

It's weird - I got so used to being busy at work during the week that the weekend seems so relaxing it's hard to motivate myself to do anything at all. And I definitely have things I should be doing because all I've done towards packing so far is to tidy and bring in the crates from the car.

Yesterday I took my old printer to the tip. I've never been to the tip before, so that was an adventure. Fortunately, it was signposted and wasn't hard to find. I was a bit scared about it because it was off a 60mph road, but fortunately wasn't that busy. I had to ask somewhere where I was supposed to put the printer because I wasn't sure. So having stopped at the household waste part I had to go round to the green waste. I hadn't even got as far as opening the boot when the man came round and took it out and away for me! When I was putting the printer in the car in the first place a man who happened to be walking by asked me if I wanted help. I did have my hair up because I was going swimming afterwards, it must have made me look a lot younger.

Although then I got chatted up in the swimming pool. Well, I exchanged names with the bloke also in the medium lane and then he asked me if I was single. I had to think about it for a while because I was going to automatically tell the truth, but then I decided that was a bad idea and told him I wasn't. And then he went away after that, thank goodness.

I keep meaning to talk about TV stuff. After having seen the first two episodes of Survivors (minus a five minute bit in the middle of the first episode because I thought it was only an hour long and started it a few minutes late), I still can't decide whether I like it or not. I will talk about SJA, but I'll leave that till Monday to annoy hhertzof because I'll be talking about the wrong episode. I won't talk about Spooks, so melliyna can't be tempted, but I will say it's been very good so far. The other week we had a discussion at work at lunch about what was going on in it, and none of us could say

And I finished Lost in Austen - it was very good. But apart from spending the whole thing recognising most of the actors, I also spent most of it wanting to know how Elizabeth was getting on. I was almost tempted to read the book, except in the Making Of documentary they said about how a lot of the characters were quite different to how they were in the book, so now I'm not so sure.
