1. Age, location, vocation?
42, Scotland, teaching.

2. Describe a bad habit of yours.
Twiddling with my hair.

3. What's one place you really want to visit before you die?
Petra.

4. If you should pick only one, what's your favorite HP fic?
If You Are Prepared, by cybele_san. It was the first slash story I read, I cried buckets. And then in true researcher mode, set out to discover whether more of the same existed ;-)

5. Share a dorky story about yourself.
In a moment of post-PhD euphoria, I declared that I could learn anything in a week. I have never been allowed to forget this, and so far have failed to learn Ancient Sumerian, String Theory and Boiler Engineering, along with lots of other things that people haven't got around to challenging me with yet.

6. What was your favorite toy at age 3?
A brown rabbit called Easter. At least, I knew it was a rabbit, but to the untrained eye it looked like a brown pancake with ears. I used to sleep on it.

7. At age 7?
Probably my rocking horse.

8. What's your favorite lj community?
pornish_pixies. No competition.

9. Link me to an entry on your journal you'd like me to read/comment on.
Hmm. How about my holiday photos, here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/seventines/13849.html)? Though not if they will take hours to load.

10. What are your spiritual beliefs?
I'm one of those psychologists who believes that God is simply an artefact of human brain wiring.

11. What is your favorite HP artwork?
Anything by jereeza, but this (http://www.thereisnoy.com/illustration/frank_alice.jpg) picture of the Longbottoms seems a perfect illustration of the fic I'm writing about Alice.

12. Say something nice about another LJ user (not me).
lazy_neutrino writes great fics and sounds like the sort of person that I'd get on with in RL.

13. What do you eat for breakfast?
Porridge. Well, I do live in Scotland, but I eat it with lots of berries and fruit on it, not salt or sugar.

14. What's something weird you enjoy that gets you odd looks from other people?
See No. 13 ;-)

I admired those pictures the first time I saw them, and they're still gorgeous - and of course I admire anyone who can photograph well (says she who once took two pictures of a tower - top half, and lower half - because she failed to think of turning the bloody camera...). But the slightly grey atmosphere makes them look even better!

Thank you! I often take two photos of big things with the aim of joining them together, but it never works :-)

I'm intrigued by the parsley, btw.

I can eat it like salad, by the bundle. Close friends give me bouquets of parsley for my birthday instead of flowers :).
