Have some fonts. There are 149 in there. IDK how useful they will be, but I thought I may as well share them. You've also reminded me that I haven't gone font hunting in forever so I know how I am going to spend my evening *thumbs up*

(That Mulan gif is the greatest, and Mulan is flawless!)

I'm currently really into: Supernatural, Fringe, Orange is the New Black, The Killing, The Hunger Games, music of all kinds, baking, reading, Buffy, Firefly (just completed an epic rewatch of the series and also Serenity and OMG how I've missed it. I'm gonna icon the shit out of it NGL.) And I'm sure all kinds of other stuff that I can't think of right now.

1. What's your guilty pleasure?
2. What's the book you could read over and over again and never get sick of?
3. Do you have a pet? If so, what is it and what's it name?

Recommend me something based on the following:Mystery + science fiction + fantasy (Firefly, Buffy, Supernatural, Orphan Black ( ... )

FIREFLY AND SERENITY ARE AMAZING THINGS THAT SHOULD BE LOVED FOREVER. I still remember being introduced to them, 9, possibly 10 years ago. It was the best thing that my male bffs ever did for me.

I will never, ever be sick of Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta. I've read it that much that at times I can quote almost a whole page.

Epic book series... kinda... The Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett & Steven Baxter. There are three books so far, with the potential for more, and it's one of my favourite things right now. It's not really YA like the ones you listed, but its sci-fi and freaking wonderful, generally.

IKR? Of course, everything is Joss Whedon and nothing hurts, lol. ;)

I love a good long book series that I just have have have to read the next book. It's an addiction. I should seek help, hahaha.

raiindust September 6 2014, 10:23:12 UTC
Well that's definitely how I felt about The Long Earth & the following books. Actually, each time a new book was released I'd re-read the previous books to both remind myself of the characters, and also just enjoy the series.

And now I've been reminded of another series called The Folly, which is essentially about a UK policeman fighting supernatural creatures. You can read about the books here, but I like, devoured the books last year, and am so excited for the release of the new one this year!

In the way of comedy shows I'd suggest Red Dwarf and Happy Endings if you haven't already seen them.

I haven't, thank you :)

raiindust September 6 2014, 10:08:08 UTC
All categories of trivial pursuit are my favourites. And the Disney Trivial Pursuit game is my favourite version!
Since Natalie Dormer is my answer to every "who should play..." question right now, she should definitely play me in my biopic.

Comedies that are funny... man, comedy is so subjective though. IDK. If you like sarcastic humour, try Daria (absolute classic) or Veep. Happy Endings was fun as well, so I'll second that rec. Brooklyn Nine-Nine had an amazing first season, so that's awesome as well. And The IT Crowd is another oldie but a goodie. I watched it for the first time this year, and absolutely loved it!

OMG I LOVE CONSPIRACY THEORIES!
I've got a bachelors in Science and I still don't believe man landed on the moon and that AIDS was created by the American government to control homosexuality through the free Hep B vaccinations that were mysteriously given free to the gay community not long before the first cases of HIV were announced in the US.

I love that the Tuskegee syphilis experiment and the Cold War radiation studies started off as just conspiracy theories and no one except 'the nutters' believed them and then later they were found to be true.

Okay, I believe the man on moon thing but ahhhh I did not know about the AIDS thing. I do remember watching a documentary on AIDS and was so surprised to learn that the first cases were only announced in 1981 when apparently, recent research says it has been around for longer. The origins are actually pretty fascinating!

Okay, the Tuskegee thing was just awful. I read about it now and blerghh, I am side-eyeing the U.S physicians of that time so hard. This Cold War thing is just as awful. I question the collective sanity of the U.S leaders in general. -_-

Most of my favourite theories have to do with space and extraterrestrial life, such as the Roswell incident, life on mars, the black knight satellite etc.

I read this book, I think it was called The AIDS Agenda and it was about this HIV researcher who found that there were proteins on the outside of HIV that matched other viruses that were totally unrelated and the pattern of spread and origin was totally sus. It was very interesting ( ... )
