All I ask is a tall ship...

possiblywonderful asked: 12, 15 and 24 :)

Wheeee, questions!

12:is there something you would like to say to someone?

Yes. Now onto the next question. ;P

No, to be honest I think that, right now, I don’t have that much unsaid stuff - and things that are are well off staying unsaid.

15:what is your favorite kind of gum?

Anything fruity that keeps its flavour for a long time - I once had a great lemon brand, but I can’t remember which one it was.

24:you receive £60 without any reason, what do you spend it on?

I think I’d spend half on it on Etsy, buying earrings, and the other half on Amazon, getting those two fantasy series I want to read next.

Which super villain are you? (x)

I probably shouldn’t be so ridiculously proud, but DANG, look at my top five!

So, jumping on the bandwagon, I tried this to find out what my ancestors stood for - turns out that one of their fields of expertise was general ancestry-ness. Well… I guess we always went in for doing things with dedication in my family.

As you probably already noticed, I am back. I had a wonderful vacation relaxing at the beach and hiking through the fascinating mountain (or, more accurately: volcano) landscape of Tenerife.

But I missed home a bit. And I missed my cat quite a lot. And of course I missed the internet and tumblr and all of you. Of course I missed you, you are wonderful.

So I enjoyed myself and now I am back and I am ready to rumble.

I’d like to extend a special welcome to the new followers I somehow miraculously gained during my absence. I am honored that you decided to follow me and hope that you won’t be too disappointed now that you have to endure me live.

To sum all of this up: HELLO, INTERNET!

“Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” – which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand – not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.”

Every time I think of the black market, I actually imagine a market, with little stalls selling illegal things like nuclear weapons and organs.
