Hi,
I'm Miellyn, from the netherlands. (Utrecht region for the dutchies around here).
1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname? Miellyn is the name of a minor character in The forest House by Marion Zimmer Bradley that I really like.
2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.) Female, definitly. I have a 3 year old son, and giving birth was definitive evidence of femininity.
3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into? I'm 38 (that can't be right.. <calculating on fingers> oh shit, it's true)
4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.) Hmm hard one... Not sure. Okay, yes, I think it can be done well enough not to suck. Not well enough to compare to the mental images the books provoke though.
5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett? I picked up a book by Terry more or less by accident a loooong time ago. He's been my favorite author ever since. Normally I don't believe in defacing books, and signed editions are not my thing. The fact that I am very proud of my signed copy of carpe jugulem says a lot.
6) what's your personal quote of the day?
This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in oncoming traffic.
Maybe just a bit more background info: I work in health care finance and study psychology. There is more overlap than you would think...
Miellyn
