I AM: Des! Desiree! I don’t really have a preference which. I AM THE PERSON BEHIND: Helena and Stefan currently I AM AT BELLUM BECAUSE: I saw an ad last... I think September, in fantasy_rpgs and it looked really interesting. I was burnt out with the RPs I was in and also the people I was playing with so I thought I'd give it a shot. I hadn't done fairytale/literary games before, although I had seen them around and contemplated them a bunch. And it didn't look like anyone I knew was in it/involved in it/going to apply so I figured it was a good shot.
MY FAVORITE FAIRYTALE IS:King Thrushbeard. I had a cassette tape (remember those?) when I was little of Shari Lewis reading fairytlaes and I always loved her reading of Thrushbeard. It only doubled when Nickelodeon had a Grimm's Fairy Tale show in the afternoons and they had a really great episode of Thrushbeard. MY FAVORITE BOOK IS: Oh god I don’t even know. Umm, I’m very partial to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I tend to re-read it a lot. OH! And Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegurt. lovelovelovelovelove. And Good Omens by Neil Gamain and Terry Pratchett. I guess it’s a three way tie. MY FAVORITE MYTH IS: Everything surrounding Atalanta. She’s badass.
THE LAST MOVIE I SAW WAS: Batman: Under the Red Hood (omg amazing) or if animated doesn’t count, Inception. THE LAST BOOK I READ WAS: I'm currently knee deep in The Magicians by Lev Grossman, but before that it was The Biology of Horror: Gothic Literature and Film by Jack Morgan. THE LAST TV SHOW I WATCHED WAS: I re-watched Community while I cleaned? I meant to catch up on Eureka but that would have required I pay attention. Otherwise, I caught up on The Guild last night (although that's not quite on TV).
THREE SONGS YOU CAN’T GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD: Bobby Darin’s Beyond the Sea, Jen Titus’ rendition of O Death (I used to have grand dreams of making a bellum!Dracula cast vid to it, so it’s been on heavy rotation on my ipod for months), Santogold’s You’ll Find A Way (it was the last song that played as I pulled into work this morning) THREE RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME: I can’t snap my fingers. People have tried to show me. It’s never worked; I have a really big love/obsession of fonts. Like, really big; I named my car Carmen (before her was Jack and Dusty). THREE PLACES YOU CAN FIND ME :desiree@IJ, desapalooza@twitter, and stanleynickels@LJ although I really don’t post on LJ anymore.
