Hi, gang! I was originally planning on putting up a Free For All post today, but I'm feeling a need to meme. We tend to get a lot of participation on the getting-to-know-you type memes, and I'm always fascinated by the types of things I learn about 'Shipper Nation from these things. You can certainly feel free to comment with whatever visual media or text you might feel like sharing as if it were a Free For All, but I'll offer the following meme starter as a jumping off point:

5 Things You Don't Know About Me

This should be fairly self-explanatory. :) The 5 can be as personal or silly as you care to share. If a couple folks on the comm already know them, that's OK, too. My favorite part of these memes is the conversations they start, so let's get to know each other a little more!

1. I chatted with Ray Bradbury when I was a teenager, and told him I wished he hadn't killed off my favorite character in Farenheit 451. He told me he gets that all the time.

2. My best friend has albinism, which involves a lack of pigmentation in her skin and hair and major vision problems. In film and TV, albinos are usually portrayed as psychopathic killers, which we find very funny since if you gave a real albino a gun they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn (many albinos are legally blind). Our favorite iteration of this trope was in the DS9 episode "Blood Oath," which involved a psychopathic albino killer who was also *Klingon.* Hee!

3. My fashion sense has been described as "construction worker casual."

4. I have gone caving in Budapest.

5. My husband's first and middle name together make up the name of one of my favorite fictional characters.

I love ALL of these Rachel! Oh goodness - I SO want to meet you for REAL! Any chance you are coming to ComicCon in July???

Oh, you are so lovely, K. *BIG HUG* Thank you for that.

Sorry, I've never been to ComicCon and I have no plans to go, but I hope you all have a fantabulous time!!!

"construction worker casual" totally cracks me up. Although mostly because I imagine you more librarian chic. :)

hehe gotta love movie/tv sterotypes.

Also, I'm extremely jealous of your caving adventure!!

I'm terribly curious which fictional it is.
