There's some new peeps on the flist from het_reccers, it'd be cool if you all could fill this out. Also welcome to my lj! =D Been enjoying your entries, I apologize for the lack of comments. Too much busyness has left me sapped of all ability to think of things to say by the time I get home and on the computer.

1. Name: Emily
2. Birthday: June 8
3. Where do you live: near San Francisco
4: What are you studying/What are you working as: just graduated, trying to find a summer job, going to be an English teacher in Germany soon.
5. What makes you happy: Good books, good beer, good friends, puppies, hot sauce, riding with my Dad in his convertible next to the ocean, history.
6. What are you listening to now/have listened to last: Mika - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)
7. What is particularly good/bad about my LJ: You seem to manage RL and fandom really well. Fandom is definitely an escape mechanism, but it doesn't seem like it's totally consumed you.
8. An interesting fact about you: I'm vegetarian, but allergic to lentils. This is not as often a problem as I initially thought.
9. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment: Agh, it's so bad. I haven't mentioned him in my LJ because I'm just so embarrassed because it's such a High School infatuation (except for the part where we slightly drunkenly hooked up last year, not that that helped anything!). But, er, yes. I've got a gigantic crush and even though we don't go to school together any more, he doesn't live too far. DANGEROUS.
10. Favorite place to be: Munich, Germany. In the English Garden with a picnic and friends.
11. Favorite lyric: I'll never say I'll never love/But I don't say a lot of things/And you, my love, are gone. (Ingrid Michaelson - The Chain)
12. Best time of the year: I've always been fond of Autumn
13. Weirdest food you like: Damn, I'll eat anything other than meat and lentils. But I have a particular fascination with hummus at the moment, so let's go with that.

RECOMMEND
1. A film: Everything is Illuminated
2. A book: The above is also an excellent book, but I'll go with Shanghai Girls by Lisa See (just finished it).

4: A band: The Decemberists

FANDOM
1. Favorite Fandom: Right now, definitely Merlin. Unless German football counts. :)

PLUS
1. One thing you like about me: I really like that you have an ongoing book list.
2. Two things you like about yourself: I have a pretty good memory, and I can be damn witty/hilarious.

Also I eat jalapeño peppers out of the jar, which, it has recently been brought to my attention, is not entirely "normal".

Normal? No. Delicious? Oh, yes.

[themadpoker.livejournal.com]

I`ve heard good things about Shanghai Girls. Maybe I will read it sometime...within the next few months? xD My To Read list is ridiculously long even factoring the fact that I blaze through books because I spend so much time on buses to school and work.

That Ingrid Michaelson lyric sounds pretty, I'll have to give her a shot too. =) And thank you for taking the time to fill this out!

[tamed-fox.livejournal.com]

I have such a girlcrush on Ingrid Michaelson, I can send you her albums if you'd like.

3. Put this in your lj so I can tell you what I think of you? Already did. :-)

[themadpoker.livejournal.com]

Regina Spektor and Vienna Teng are both lovely, you have great taste in music. <3 And maybe I shall try Going Bovine again? I actually gave it a shot awhile back because I read a review somewhere comparing it to Justine Larbalestier's Liar (fantastic book btw) but I couldn't really get into it. I might have just not been in the right mood for it though.

Also your OTP is Arthur/Gwen? =O What a radical and unexpected choice! I would never have expected Pendragon love from you. ;)

[hmsharmony.livejournal.com]

It took me a few chapters to get into GB, tbh, but once things started moving I was HOOKED.

Also your OTP is Arthur/Gwen? =O What a radical and unexpected choice! I would never have expected Pendragon love from you.

You know, I was honestly stuck between my moderate love for A/G and my never-ending love for L/G, but in the end I realized that I want to see Angel in pretty clothes, so A/G won out. I could hardly write that with a straight face. XD
