Uh, I like sharks, and space. I post a lot of Doctor Who and film, but also whatever rolls through my dash that I find pretty or lolzy.
Currently obsessing over James Bond and falling in love with Felix Leiter to keep me occupied while ALL MY FAVORITE SHOWS ARE OFF THE AIR. :|
There will probably be a lot of Avengers stuff for a while too. BECAUSE AVENGERS.
I also run Heck Yeah, Hal Roach! if you're into that kind of thing. Except I never update it anymore because I suck at Tumblr.

This is really fascinating. Growing up, I was told that my surname was probably Dutch, and that the spelling had been changed at Ellis Island. Later, my grandfather told me that it was Irish. 

When I put my surname into this profiler, I think I can safely say that it is almost certainly British.

The only two countries that list my surname are the United Kingdom, and the United States, being much more common in the UK.

In the US, my last name is found in about 10 states, with over 46% residing in Bar Harbor, Maine. I’d like to go there and find out how they pronounce it!

Pretty cool!

I did this earlier! I am most definitely Swedish and Irish…

This thing is complete fail.  I have an obviously Chinese surname (Fung) and it doesn’t even list China at all.  I tried several other Chinese names and China never showed up once.

Fuck you, Euro-centric bullshit.
