So, come here often?

[laliandra]

The other night I went out with my three delightful housemates for drinks and dancing, and on the way there we were discussing how we are all quite different in the way we dress, and I was wittering on, as is my way, about our tastes in clothes reflecting our tastes in other things like music and my housemate Wren (who I am nicknaming because it is fun) said "So Belle is classy, Sal is arty, I'm a little bit country and you are a little bit Rock and Roll?"
I realise now that bursting into song in the taxi was a Bad Thing, and can only apologise...


Meme! If you're on my flist, I want to know 35 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... you're on my flist, so I want to know you better. You don't even have to answer them all.

02) What was your dream growing up? to be a person of substance

06) What was the last book you read? a book of poetry by Robert Service
07) What zodiac sign are you? Libra. And it fits.
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where. Ears double pierced. I wanted a tattoo of a spider behind my ear for the longest time, since I had a recurring dream about that for years, but finally decided against it. I am glad to be ink free for now!
09) Worst Habit? laziness
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? People like to walk! I wouldn't assume you wanted one. But if you looked like you needed help, I probably would ask to see if I could help.
11) What is your favourite sport? Too hard! I love sports. Um, to play?? Then, Basketball and volleyball, probably. And soccer. To watch? Basketball.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? Optimistic, always.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? share great stories about our past. squee about the 7 corners of fandom that we both love! Rewrite Havemercy in our heads to have porny ships. :)
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? You know? I don't have a horrible worst thing. I've lost people that I loved, but they weren't in my inner circle. I think the toughest thing I've gone through was kind of cheating on Sam before we were married and coming clean about it. That took a year of pain and patience and stellar communication skills.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you. I'm a much better mother than homemaker.

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? They're fine.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? Probably nothing. I mean, I am certainly not perfect-looking, but I am pleased that my body does so well! I think the thing I dislike the most would be my belly stretch marks from pregnancy, but seriously, I am way happier that I was able to give birth to three children than I would be with a flat tummy. :) Hmmm. I also wish I still had purple hair a lot. But I can always fix that if it becomes necessary.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? Conscience, for sure. We have to live by our values.

Thank you for doing this. I love finding out stuff about people!
Nice answers too, though you have made me want pancakes and peaches and a margarita. Not necessarily in that order...
I do wish I know where I got my icon, it gets all sorts of love(much more love than me often!) and I have no one to credit which makes me feel bad.
That sounds like good elevator times. In my head, Thom/Balfor. Totally! I may be considering writing something, despite the fact that that would be like the 5th separate thing I would be writing *despairs of own brain*
I know what you mean about fandom stuff. Today is MayaDay!

Woah, that babysitter thing, just, woah. I was saying to someone the other day that it never ceases to amaze me how often people's real lives sound more like fiction than fiction..
I love the idea that you swear a lot, I don't know why!
Thanks for filling this out, I like filling in the blanks about online people.
