IF YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS ACCESS LIST, I want to know 36 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine (but longer answers are better!) ... You're on my list, so I want to know you better!

BE HONEST! Copy from here (Cursor in the text box, CTRL-A, CTRL-C), paste into a new comment, and answer the questions. Then (if you want) repost in your journal. I might just respond. Until I get bored with answering the same questions.

1) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
A.
Yes; well, I'm in two serious relationships — I'm not monogamous.

2) What was your dream growing up?
A.
To be with children, to help them learn and grow, and it still is.

3) What talent do you wish you had?
A.
Many, but lately, most importantly, social skills. The ability to find a happy medium between not talking to people enough, and talking to them too much; the ability to know the difference between someone criticising me and someone joking.

4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
A.
depends; in the UK, a Coke/Pepsi. In the States, a root beer or Mountain Dew. (I prefer the latter two, but you don't get them here.)

5) Favourite vegetable?
A.
Tomatoes.

6) What was the last book you read?
A.
I've been reading Stranger in a Strange Land for months; it's currently buried under a mountain of Stuff in my bedroom at my mum's house and not really accessible, though. The last book I finished was Fever 1793, an utterly fascinating story of the Plague that hit Philadelphia in (surprise, surprise) 1793. I bought it at Philly airport on my way home and finished it as I landed in London; took me about 10 hours altogether.

7) What zodiac sign are you?
A.
Leo

8) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
A.
Five piercings; my labret (centre lower lip), three in my ear lobes (two in the left, one in the right) and my left nostril. No special reason; I just like piercings.
Two tattoos planned but not done yet: the infinity symbol on the nape of my neck - I identify with non-monogamy/polyamory which is sometimes also known as "infinite love" - that, and the infinity symbol is quite pretty. Also, the bisexual/transgender symbol on the inside of my left wrist, with the words "love counts more" wrapped around the outside, and possibly a heart inside.

9) Worst Habit?
A.
I'm too panicky and given to asking people if I've done something to annoy them far too often.

10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
A.
Given that I'd be walking, too... (I don't drive; can't, and can't learn — I have no binocular vision which means I can't judge depth or speed and generally makes me a terrible driver. If I was driving and offered you a lift, you'd be wise to refuse *grin*)

11) What is your favourite sport?
A.
I suppose trampolining, or cycling. I don't really do sport.

12) Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude?
A.
I try to be optimistic, but it doesn't always happen.

13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
A.
Complain about it being stuck. Or knit. Or both.

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
A.
...nothing I'm going to mention here.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
A.
I don't know :-/

16) Do you have any pets?
A.
Yes; a guinea pig named Badger. (He's all black, except for a white stripe running down his nose, along his chest and spreading out over his belly.)

17) What if i showed up at your house unexpectedly?
A.
I'd be rather confused and probably hide in a corner without answering the door until you went away, probably. See what I said above about needing social skills.

18) What was your first impression of me? (hmmm...careful!)
A.
I don't really know. I'm not sure I'd actually formed an impression of you; I don't really know you very well yet.

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
A.
Just plain weird.

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
A.
I'd have a more toned bodyshape. I'm not so fussed about being thinner; I quite like my shape, but I don't like the wobbly bits. (I'd look odd with the equivalent muscle to what I have wobbly bits on my arms and thighs, so they'd have to shrink a bit, but apart from that...)

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
A.
Your conscience.

22) What color eyes do you have?
A.
When I'm indoors, mostly hazel, but if it's dark, dark brown, and if it's artificially light, hazel. Outdoors in the sun, amber.

23) Ever been arrested?
A.
No.

24) Bottle or can soda?
A.
Depends on the bottle. If it's a plastic bottle, I'd take a can. If it's glass, the bottle.

25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
A.
Give some to worthy organisations (the IWW, the Open Rights Group, NO2ID and Macmillan Cancer Care), save the rest and use the interest payments to pay off my debts for a while.

27) What's your favourite place to hang at?
A.
My bedroom.

28) Do you believe in ghosts?
A.
No.

29) Favourite thing to do in your spare time?
A.
Knit, or read.

30) Do you swear a lot?
A.
No.

31) Biggest pet peeve?
A.
Hypocrisy.

32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
A.
Creative.

33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
A.
True romance, or card and chocolate company "romance"? True, yes. The other kind, no.

35) Do you believe in God?
A.
I'd like to believe in the people we've loved and lost looking out for us, but I know it's wishful thinking. I certainly don't believe in one universal god.

36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
A.
No; I don't really partake in memes like this, but feel free to reply to my comment with your answers if you want to.
