Tag! your it! The rules are to state 10 random facts about yourself. Then, go to ten blogs and tell them that they are it :)
─ sendmedaughters

I’m pretty sure I’m too lazy to actually tag other people but I’ll fill it out :)

  • Almost all of my clothes are black, although in the last few years I’ve been incorporating colours back into my waredrobe. This makes me a fail goth. I even own some jeans now, instead of just living in layers of ankle length velvet skirts.
  • Occasionally I worry about my level of immaturity, as I’m nearing thirty yet still do things like tape plastic cutlery to my hands to pretend to be Wolverine.
  • Old books are one of my favourite things in the whole entire world. I even bought a little set of pretty ones I found at a book sale despite the fact that they’re French and I don’t read French. But books. I love the smell of books.
  • I’ve pretty much never followed through on anything in my whole entire life. I’m the queen of not finishing anything I start and it’s pretty pathetic.
  • I’m trying to get a job for the first time in about seven years, after a shitty time of PTSD, depression and anxiety. I’m excited that I’m capable of working (I think, I hope) but it also scares the everloving shit out of me.
  • I’m very distantly related to Eleanor of Aquitaine and that’s basically my only claim to fame in any way ever - and it’s not even a proper one.
  • Had some serious thoughts about going into prostitution a few years back (and using it as a way to either wreck myself completely or straighten myself out) before finding out exactly how shitty the brothels pay around here.
  • The Crow and Pitch Black are my curling-up-on-the-couch-and-being-depressed comfort movies.
  • My grandmother - now long passed away - remains my hero and everything I want to be in life.
  • I’ve lived for the last eight years in a house called the Lesbian Flat of Doom - currently with three people I completely adore and would do absolutely anything for.

I almost wrote 11 then, but lucky for you I realized and deleted the last one about my depressing broken city.

#about me

Let the truth be told: There is no virtue anywhere.

                                   

I’m Circe, a twenty-something Australian living in Christchurch NZ. I’m mostly terrified of people and thus spend a lot of time inside refreshing tumblr. I live with shamrocked and slinkster_ghoul.

People I post a lot of: Mylene Jampanoi. (Seriously. More than a lot.) Emanuela de Paula, Eva Green, Oona Chaplin, Gemma Arterton, Bridget Regan, Tabrett Bethell, Lenora Crichlow, Maria Valverde, Nora Arnezeder, Rachael Taylor, Rebecca Hall, Rosario Dawson, Ruth Negga, Stoya, Tara Lynn.

Other things I post more than a little: Comics-related glory, reblogged rants on equality, HBIC of history (sometimes in an organised way and sometimes less so), Catherynne M. Valente book fangirlings, mythology and how it’s the best thing ever, Being Human UK, Farscape, BSG, Xena

For your tumblr saviour needs:

I sometimes talk about roleplaying mythological figures/post RP graphics, and it’s all tagged as strays.

This tumblr is pro-porn but I do try to keep it somewhat worksafe. I don’t like coming across SURPRISE!porn on my dash so I don’t do it to others, but if I do post nudity it’ll be tagged with nsfw

#about me #pretentious quotes on mundane posts are my favourite thing

Get to know me

One. What is your middle name? Marie. So boring.
Two. What are you passionate about? Mythology, history, feminism, certain TV shows/movies/musicians which would make this list very long
Three. Zebra or leopard print? … I have a leopard print sleeping bag. It’s brilliant.
Four. Do you have any fears? Heights, deep dark water and things being submerge when they SHOULD NOT BE. (Like shipwrecks. Underwater shots of shipwrecks I CANNOT DEAL WITH.)
Five. Silver or gold? Silver.
Six. Top three places to visit. Ancient Egypt, Ancient Mesopotamia Greece, Istanbul, France
Seven. How many siblings do you have? One brother, 21, I fortunately see him very very very rarely as I dispose him.
Eight. Where are you from? Nimbin, New South Wales
Nine. First career you wanted as a child. I didn’t have any jobs I really wanted as a child because once I was informed I couldn’t actually be a Greek God it was all downhill. Pre-10 I remember wanting to be a stripper for a while though. Which is… a little concerning but not surprising.
Ten. What’s your sign? Leo
Eleven. Future names of your children. Pass. No children please. Not ever.
Twelve. Do you have any pets? Three cats: Helios, Ariadne, and Echo. (I used to have three rats until they all passed away last year and they were Baudelaire, Poe, and Lord Byron)
Thirteen. What are you listening to right now? Nothing
Fourteen. Do you believe in fate/destiny? No.
Fifteen. What are your career goals? I have none. I’m an incredibly unmotivated individual.
Sixteen. What is your favorite color? Blue, purple, black, green - I’m an indecisive individual as well.
Seventeen. What is your favorite flower? Frangipani
Eighteen. What was the first concert/show you attended? Would have been Tim Minchin in the middle of last year. WOULD have been the Amanda Palmer gig that I was supposed to be COOKING FOR AND HANGING OUT BACKSTAGE AT but then the February earthquake destroyed everything on the afternoon of it. Thus NO AMANDA FOR ME, concert or socialising! D:
Nineteen. Something you are working on right now. My mental health. This is a thing.
Twenty. Have you ever had a near-death experience? If I have, they were young enough for me not to remember.
Twenty-one. Are you a procrastinator or do you get things done early? I never do things, not ever.
Twenty-two. Left or right handed? Right.
Twenty-three. TV Shows you watch regularly. Lots, too many. We don’t have the TV connected here so it’s whatever we download and watch. At the moment, as a flat, we’ve been watching nothing but Mitchell & Webb, Peep Show and Leverage. Because they are shows we’ve seen a lot and don’t require brain work.
Twenty-four. Where do you work? Unemployed, alas.
Twenty-five. Halloween costume idea for this year? I went as an Onryo. (I only really have this photo though.)
Twenty-six. What is your relationship status? Happily single with occasional occurrences of The Ex I make my own life complicated with.
Twenty-seven. Last movie you just watched. The Chameleon. (Marc-Andre Grondin and Famke UNF)
Twenty-eight. Your best friend lover’s name. Mylene.
Twenty-nine. A song that’s been stuck in your head. None! Yay!
Thirty. A book you want to read/have recently read. I am finishing The Mating Mind by Geoffrey Miller. I’m grabbing Wuthering Heights from the library on Tuesday.
