Twenty questions... about me

Got this from tudorpot: Twenty questions.

1. Elaborate on your default icon. Captain Jack Harkness of Torchwood and Doctor Who. I've been using him for a while now, cycling through some favourites. This is one I made myself. I like the 'time travel' aspect of the character.

2. What's your current relationship status? Single. Would like a relationship, if I could only figure out what kind.

3. Ever have a near-death experience? A few times.

4. Name an obvious quality you have. Curiosity.

5. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now? A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. Torchwood fans will know why.

6. Name a celebrity you would marry. Marry? Not likely. I don't intend to remarry, ever.

7. Who will cut and paste this first? What silly kind of question is that?

8. Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity? No. Wait, yes, actually, when I was in my teens people said I looked like Genevieve Bujold. I never saw it myself, but I heard it from various people.

9. Do you wear a watch? Yes, always, on my right wrist.

10. Do you have anything pierced? Ears, but I seldom wear earrings now. I've developed an aversion to wearing metal.

11. Do you have any tattoos? No.

12. Do you like pain? No.

13. Do you like to shop? Not usually. Sometimes. I love browsing bookstores.

(no subject)

From thefridayfive:

1. favorite cereal and why? I seldom eat cereal. There was a cereal once that I ate when visiting my friend Rob in London, something he got from Marks & Spencer with bits of yogurt and nuts in it. Delicious. I was never able to find it in Canada.

In recent months, I've eaten cereal a little, usually "Nature's Path" or President's Choice. Usually I'll have cereal for a week or two daily, then not have it again for a year or two.

Exception: cooked oatmeal. I love it. Never, never the instant kind.

2. what is the best thing about summer? Being able to walk anywhere I want to go.

3. would you rather have a slurpee or a milkshake? I don't really know what a slurpee is like. I may never have had one. They don't look appealing. I like milkshakes.

4. If you could be a member of any band/musical group, past or present, what band would it be and why? A group of 12th century troubadours. Or possibly a string quartet.

5. Who is your idol? What are they famous for? I have way too many idols. Shelley, say. He was famous for his poetry and his nonconformity.
