aoife_hime...8 random facts about me:
I have a (small) collection of really, really dreadful films, courtesy of various TV/movie crushes - the absolute worst of which is Susan's Plan (feat. Michael Biehn). Fortunately for me, most of Richard Dean Anderson's oeuvre is unavailable to buy in the UK.
I had green tea flavour ice cream last weekend, and it was lovely.
My oldest and most loved toy is a stuffed dog called Sammy, who came free with tokens from Andrex. He looks unbelievably depressed, despite his extensive wardrobe.
I should soon have broadband at home, woohoo!
I grew up - for my first ten years, anyhow - in a hundred-year-old house in the middle of a wood. This sounds more romantic if I phrase it that way than it was in actuality. (But it was a little romantic!)
We had a housemate at college who used to 'borrow' our stuff, repeatedly and without asking. In retaliation, we topped up my ketchup with an entire bottle of tabasco sauce, made some bath foam out of washing-up liquid, water, and PVA glue, and filled an empty shower gel container with Squeezy Cheese. None of these belonged to him, and he never asked if he could use them, so any resulting discomfort was entirely his own lookout.
I adore a quiz show called 'Eggheads'. It's set at about the level I can yell at the TV, "But that's so easy! How can you possibly not know that?!?", thus making me feel brainy.
My favourite perfume is Be Delicious, by Donna Karen. I was attracted initially by the bottle, which is shaped like an apple. It's pretty much the first perfume I've ever consistently worn.

Also, I will not now be moving to Oxford in June. Chiz chiz, it's the sensible choice, so we have to sign up for another 12 months at the place we're currently renting (with no break clause) - but next year... Yes. More time to plan, find work there, sort various and sundry other things out... all that practical stuff. Ah well. (Means I can go sign up for thesjficathon now, though!)
edit: Thought I wish I hadn't just had (when mentally working out how I might describe MacGyver): if Jack and Sam had a son, he might well have grown up to be Mac (if you ignore the whole timeline thing). Science, and fishing, and hockey, and bad jokes, and inability to leave a problem alone, and love of being outdoors...
Urgh. Badfic ideas, attacking my brain.

Mmm, green tea ice cream :-) It's one of my favourites.
And I bought green cheese (with pesto in) from the Covered Market. I love shopping in Oxford.
And, mmm, covered market cheese. From the cheese stall or from Palm's Deli? (Both glorious, in their different ways.)
Oh, I want to move to Oxford nooooooooooooooow! Ice cream shops open until midnight?!? *wails* I did see something about a flavour petition, but couldn't work out what it was. Brain wasn't fully functional after a) waffle breakfast, b) vast Ploughman's lunch, c) viewing flat, d) much shopping and walking with dad and boyfriend talking in either ear. :)
