A meme, a meme

[louiselux]

I've enjoyed reading the responses to this on other people's journals. I got this version from yonmei

Some of the people on my friends list, I hardly know. Some of you I think I know well, but I'm sure have the capacity to surprise me still.

So: comment and tell me something about you. Something random, or something that you think is the key to your entire personality. Yes, even the people I've known for years. Yes, even the people I've never talked to.

Things you probably didn't want to know

Hullo!

My first fandom was Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss. I was madly in love with/wanted to be Octavian Rofrano. I still know most of the libretto by heart.

When I get dressed in the morning, I always think 'what image would you like to project today? What character are you secretly pretending to be?' My Aziraphale kit consists of a white dress shirt, a broad grey tie with diagonal navy stripes, a v-neck black jumper, corduroys, and a tan leather men's coat that reaches to my ankles. Oh, and a plaid scarf.

I don't like okra, but I'll eat it to be polite. (I'll eat anything to be polite.)

I can't stand flavoured lipstick.

I am contributing to my sisters' broad-minded world view by telling them all about slash.

I have great trouble getting through any of Charles Dickens' works.

I like Stephen Fry's autobiography better than any of the novels he's written.

When conversing with an English speaker, I more or less subconsciously try to tailor my accent to fit theirs. Then I get very embarrassed about it and wonder if they feel insulted.

Good Heavens, that's about enough, I think. This meme is dangerous, I could go on spouting trivia about myself for hours on end.

Cheers,

O

I like the sound of your Aziraphale outfit. Have you got a Crowley outfit too? I usually just have to put sunglasses on to channel my inner demon these days.

Well, I did buy a new pair of sunglasses a few months ago. They're very nice, understated yet elegant, thin silver metal rims and dark mirrored lenses...
But otherwise I'm so definitely not Crowley-shaped that I haven't quite dared to put something together yet... well, that and I don't own many black articles of clothing.
The glasses and my plastic-with-shiny-metal-bits parka will have to do at the moment. And the optional mp3 player blaring something like Nine Inch Nails, loud and antisocial. Or, er, Queen. And damn me if I haven't started listening to Queen actively after having read Good Omens. Augh.

Cheers,
