1. Your Middle Name: My official middle name is Mary, and my Confirmation name is Sarah Anne. I named myself after my two sisters with all the nerdiness of a 12 year old. (g)
2. Age: You know :)

22. Describe your accent: It's purely Irish. It's actually a non-Irish accent, it's hard for people from here to pin down. And it's very fluid. It's more countrified in the country and more citified in the city. I quite like my accent now actually.
23. If you could change anything about me, would you?: Yeah, I'd get rid of that pesky ocean in between us
24. What do you wear to sleep?: Pyjamas. My favourites being the ones with "nerd" printed all over them. (Apparently it's some kind of sweet in the US, but I just saw them in Macy's last summer and went "OOOOO!!" (g))

Ooo, cool.

20. Do you think I'm a good person?: If I didn't, would I be writing this?

I don't know... would you?

21. What was your best/favorite subject at school?: Em, that's a little difficult to tell really, cos I love so many of them... the one I have to put the least effort into is English, the one I like the most is probably Chemistry or French/German.

Err... when did French and German get smushed into one class? And please don't tell me it was during WWI or WWII.

23. If you could change anything about me, would you?: Yeah, I'd get rid of that pesky ocean in between us

Aww. :)

11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? It's all full - just because you can't see the air, doesn't mean it's not there. Unless we're talking in vacuum, but then there'd probably be no gravity, as we'd be orbiting Jupiter, and it'd be hard to tell as the liquid sloshed around...
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Yeah, if I really thought it was in your best interests, I probably would.
13. What is your favourite memory of us? Um... the time we didn't meet for pancakes? (Damn, I suck.)

22. Describe your accent: ...what do you mean, 'accent'?

24. What do you wear to sleep? Sleep shorts.
25. Trousers or skirts? Trousers.

~~28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?~~

Copying and pasting, to save sanity. (I have so little left, have to conserve every drop!) Annd, of course, editing those lovely vowels back in!

Sanity is waaaay overrated. As are extraneous vouwels. ;)

8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: Neither. Well... anymore.

Hmm?

11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? It's all full - just because you can't see the air, doesn't mean it's not there. Unless we're talking in vacuum, but then there'd probably be no gravity, as we'd be orbiting Jupiter, and it'd be hard to tell as the liquid sloshed around...

lol, well said.

13. What is your favourite memory of us? Um... the time we didn't meet for pancakes? (Damn, I suck.)

Hey, I remember that! Fault's as much mine as yours, really. Just sorry for the missed opportunity. But hey, it did look like a good place...

19. What is your big weakness? Food.

Err... all that medical training and you still don't get that "food" is a basic necessity for every living animal?

22. Describe your accent: ...what do you mean, 'accent'?

Yeah! We don need no steenkin accents!

23. If you could change anything about me, would you? I'd give you super powers - bit silly, I know, but I figure if there'd be anybody out there who'd know what to do with them, it'd be you.

You know, I think that may well be the best compliment I have ever recieved. Thank you!

27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? (If you have no idea, just say something crazy, it'll entertain me!) No idea. We'd take over the world with an elaborate plan involving lemonade, ear wax and shoe laces.

Hmm... really? I can't quite see where the lemonade comes in...

1. Your Middle Name: ask me on IM if you really wanna know. otherwise it's airgid-beo. spelling varies.

3. Single or Taken: good question. right now i'm not sure, but let's say single.

9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? no, but i count the fact that doran has met you
10. What's your philosophy on life? life is short and good with cookies. wait. uh.. life is fragile, handle with prayer. wait. well anyway have fun and die without regrets, that's pretty much my philosophy.
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? depends, hand it over here and i'll tell you when i'm done with it..
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? i might try. i probably wouldnt succeed, but if i really thought it was in your best interest i might try.
13. What is your favorite memory of us? oo, neat castle! :D
14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure? i'm trying to decide if i feel guilty about ice cream.
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: that you dont already know? that's hard. umm. have you heard the one where i was stuck in an elevator, in a hotel on the canadian border, for a half hour? that was pretty fun.
16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarkey) - what are they? how about whirled peas? never mind i dont like peas. oh i know, can i wish for global war? no? come on, you know it's original. umm. i wish my videotapes hadnt gotten ruined. i wish i had enough money to do everything i want and need to do right now. and i wish i could drive out to detroit and kidnap a boy i know.

18. Which country is your spiritual home? canada, duh. or ireland.
19. What is your big weakness? ice cream comes to mind. that and i'm too nice for my own good, have a terrible time telling people no. and a few others but if i told you all my weaknesses, someone might exploit them and that would be bad.

21. What was your best/favorite subject at school? i was always good in religion. (i went to a christian school yes.) and i rather liked spanish. as much as i liked any subject, which is to say i would rather not be there.
22. Describe your accent: typical great lakes accent for the most part, which is somewhere between midwestern and canadian i guess. but i change depending who i'm talking to, like a LOT. doran could probably describe my "normal" accent better, she thinks i say certain words funny.
23. If you could change anything about me, would you? only if it was something you wanted changed.
24. What do you wear to sleep? pajamas with cartoons on them
25. Trousers or skirts? (If you're a guy, would you wear a kilt for me?) "trousers"? i wear jeans...
26. Cigarettes or alcohol? eh, neither.
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? (If you have no idea, just say something crazy, it'll entertain me!) now should i take this light-heartedly or seriously, cuz seriously that would be really sad. but in a light-hearted mindframe, well we could...idk we'd probably do what we do anyway, tell jokes and make fun of things. i cant think of anything really adventurous that we could and would both do, lol.
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? probably not, didnt we already do this one? i know i posted it a while back.

i seem to have missed a bracket somewhere...sorry :(

Don't worry about the bracket. Easy mistake. Happens all the time.

Just sorry it took me so long to respond to this. Could have sworn I already had...

I like your philosophies. And yes, most things are good (or at least better) with cookies. (I'll resist the internet pun. Aren't you lucky?)

Good call on the bottle. One of the best responses I've seen to that question.

oo, neat castle! :D

lol, indeed. ... What were we talking about?

14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure? i'm trying to decide if i feel guilty about ice cream.

Nah. That completely misses the point of ice cream.

15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: that you dont already know? that's hard. umm. have you heard the one where i was stuck in an elevator, in a hotel on the canadian border, for a half hour? that was pretty fun.

Not that I recall (neat castle!). Do tell.

20. Do you think I'm a good person? seem like it to me, everyone has their good and bad of course but from you i've seen good

Thank you. :)

23. If you could change anything about me, would you? only if it was something you wanted changed.

Good answer. Any suggestions?

15. well i was on a school trip to niagra falls, and we were in a hotel on this side of the border. we had church in the park (which they made us dress up as i recall, yes i went to church school), and then we were going on a boat ride. so everyone wanted to change into more comfortable clothes. and tried to fit as many people in the elevator as we could. i forget if it was 10 or 20 people now (been a while since high school, ya know?) but it was over the limit for how many the elevator was supposed to hold. very packed. and the elevator was too heavy to make it all the way up the right floor, so we got stuck between floors. and they had a hard time getting the door open. most of us were fine, just laughing at it, but the girl next to me (who i was rooming with) was claustrophobic and started screaming. i had to try to calm her down. a guy in the back was videotaping, so it made it into our end-of-year film...

23. i'd give you better health, a job you enjoyed, maybe a girlfriend if you wanted one. and a better memory so we wouldnt have to watch the castle ;) (can i have one too?)

Sheesh. That's some experience.

Well, at least it wasn't a TV show or something (despite the video camera). Then they'd have been contractually obligated to have one of the passengers be nine months pregnant and about to go into labor...

Anyway. Nice changes. Thanks. But... what castle?

haha true, and there was NO room for anyone go give birth. we were squished like a book of matches.

what's this about a castle?

haha true, and there was NO room for anyone go give birth. we were squished like a book of matches.

Yikes. Hope no one caught fire.

what's this about a castle?

I have no idea.

What were we talking about?

If that's okay, I'll follow Dave's example and do a bit of copy-pasting myself...

14. Chocolate ^_^
15. I never wear sandals.
16. Hmm. Find true love ^_^, graduate with a grade over 8 (hey, I can ask anything I want, right? XD) and learn a few more languages without all the hassle of studying :P
17. Wouldn't that be a bit hard? :P
18. Greece.
19. As I realized recently, I'm too good for my own good :P
20. You're one of the best people I've ever met ^__^
21. Ancient Greek (I was a nerd like that :P), Biology, Chemistry and foreign languages (English, French).
22. Americanized, definitely, but I'm not sure I'd pass for a native.
23. I'd change your health status to "Better than ever and never going to have any kind of problems from now on".

That is interesting. Why not?

(I almost never do, either, BTW.)

16. Hmm. Find true love ^_^, graduate with a grade over 8 (hey, I can ask anything I want, right? XD) and learn a few more languages without all the hassle of studying :P

Of course you can ask anything! And I hope you get it, too. :)

17. Wouldn't that be a bit hard? :P

Well, yes. But some things are worth the effort. ;)

19. As I realized recently, I'm too good for my own good :P

Damn straight!

20. You're one of the best people I've ever met ^__^

Wow. Thank you. You're pretty cool, yourself. :)

23. I'd change your health status to "Better than ever and never going to have any kind of problems from now on".

Thank you. That would be nice.

25. Trousers. I like skirts but I don't like my legs :S

Aww. (Wish I could comment more, but I've never even seen a picture...)

28. Not if I can avoid it :P Not very much into spreading memes out, myself.

Yeah. Me either, for the most part. And this one's been around a little too much already. After a while, you get kind of tired of answering the same questions...

That is interesting. Why not?

I don't like the idea of my toes showing :S
I guess I have a problem with the lower part of my body in general.

See ya,
Anna. :)

Aww.

But...

Your legs don't look good and you never wear sandals?

I refute both claims!^*

^*I'd link directly to the third pic, but this way it gets to stay FLocked.

That pic proves that my legs don't look good :P

And, well, over here we don't call what I'm wearing in that pic sandals :P They're only meant to be worn indoors or when you go to the beach. And they're kind of obligatory in those contexts, because there's nothing else that *can* be worn - what else? Sneakers? Ballerinas? Boots? These are the types of shoes I usually wear outdoors but none of them is appropriate for going to the beach :p

(I'm considering a pair of Havaianas for this year though. I find them unflattering [for me] and most inconvenient, but the kind of footwear I'd been using until now [and which I also find unflattering, but convenient] is obscenely out of fashion for girls my age :p)

So how about "I don't wear sandals unless I have run absolutely out of options"? XD

See ya,
Anna.

That pic proves that my legs don't look good :P

I must respectfully disagree. And since this is my journal, I get the tie-breaking vote. Therefore, I'm right. Sorry.

(Hey, at least I didn't crop the pic, repost, and have a real vote... ;) )

So how about "I don't wear sandals unless I have run absolutely out of options"? XD

Oh... fine. I'll give you that one. Consider it a consolation prize for being wrong about your own legs.

Now go read the bio on my user profile and realize that this means you fit right in... ;)
