Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] elinor: -

This is one of the more interesting memes... well,preferable to which of Gandalf's knackers would you be?...

This is the problem with LJ, we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I'm going to rectify it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.


Doood. I'll answer anything. Unless you ask me why I was kicked out of the Barcelona club, [livejournal.com profile] kristorferllama >:

Bless! :-D

Okay, favourite Shakespeare? I know it's *such* a cliché for a VC fan, but my favourite speech is that from Macbeth:-

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death
Life's but a walking shadow;
A poor player that struts and frets its hour on the stage
And then is heard no more
It is a tale told by an idiot--
Full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.


That's the human condition summed up, right there. There was a postmodern adaptation of Macbeth done for the BBC a few years back and this speech was delivered with such feeling, such irony-- he's full of grief for Lady Macbeth even as he talks about the worthlessness of life-- it just gets me every time.

As for Baz Luhrmann's version of Romeo & Juliet-- I *adore* it-- so vibrant, so clever. It was single-handedly responsible for making our entire year interested in Shakespeare again. Good stuff.

So now you now. :-D
