I got this meme from

tudorpot. Haven't done one for a while. As often is the case, some of it's stuff I've answered before, so I'm going to cut those questions. I'm also going to cut the questions where I think my answers are really boring, and I'm changing some of the numbers.

1. Can you cook? Yes. I like to. It's one of my favourite activities.

2. What was your dream growing up? I wanted to be a writer. So I write.

3. What talent do you wish you had? I wish I could draw. I'd like to be able to do illustration, including sequential art, and portraits of characters, and slash art.

4. Favorite place? Orkney.

5. Favorite vegetable? Asparagus

6. What was the last book you read? What We Ache For by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.

7. What zodiac sign are you? Libra. I always think I am as classic a Libra as any personality can be.

8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Ears. The holes may have grown over now, though, since I've stopped wearing earrings. I'm in a phase where I don't want metals on my body.

9. Worst Habit? Procrastinating.

10. What is your favorite sport? Fencing.

11. Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude? Optimistic, on the whole.

12. Worst thing to ever happen to you? Losing people I loved.

13. Tell me one weird fact about you. As a child, my favourite activity (besides reading) was climbing trees.

14. Do you have any pets? A budgie named Logan.

15. Do you know how to do the Macarena? I don't even know what the Macarena is.

16. What time is it where you are now? 11:12 pm. I'm about to turn my clocks forward.

17. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Neither, though it depends on the clown. Closer to scary than cute, I'd say.

18. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I'd look like Cheryl Tiegs.

19. What color eyes do you have? Grey-blue. Used to be pure blue but they greyed with age. I thought it was only hair that was supposed to do that.

20. Ever been arrested? No. For an anarchist, I am incredibly law-abiding.

21. Bottle or Draft? Nope.

22. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew? Not much for gum. I prefer licorice, scotch mints or jujubes.

23. What's your favorite bar to hang at? I don't. I sometimes go to pubs: my favourites being the Arrow and Loon and The Highlander.

24. Do you believe in ghosts? Uh... depends how you define 'ghosts'.

25. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Write.

26. Do you swear a lot? No. In fact, I swear so rarely that my friends laugh and me when I do.

27. Biggest pet peeve? I find myself caught up in the logical contradiction here; a pet peeve is by implication trivial; if it's big, it's more than that. So what do I dislike enough to call a big pet peeve? Ads on television, I guess. But it's all part of my distaste for commercialism and the consumer society and for capitalism in general, and that's big. Can I call materialism a pet peeve?

28. In one word, how would you describe yourself? At the moment, sleepy.

Which must mean it's time for bed. Good night!
