May. 1st, 2010 01:26 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
eleanorjaneSwiped from greenbirds, because I'm having trouble making my brain wake up today, and this might do the trick - and it seemed like a good intro for the new folks reading me.
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
The first one I see when I glance at myself is the one on my left hand across the knuckles; it came from grazing my hand along the road during The Accident*.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
In which room? I haz a whole house. ;) In the room I'm in now, just paint; I'm redecorating, and my study is mostly dismantled for repainting and new blinds. In my bedroom, there's a framed sketch on the wall done by a friend.
3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
Light girly snoring, I'm told.
4. WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
I have very eclectic tastes. I'm not a fan of (old-school) country or most modern R&B, but other than that I listen to anything. My favouritest stuff tends to be either electronica, or alt-rock.
5. WHAT TIME WERE YOU BORN?
Around 9pm-ish, I believe.
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
Winning the lottery would be right up there.
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Being healthy; having energy; company.
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION(S)?
I'm pretty unsentimental about stuff; I love it for its functionality, not where it came from. Probably my computer. :)
9. HOW TALL ARE YOU?
5'8"ish.
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
More than I thought. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may need an MRI soon and I'm dreading it.
11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Only if I've just been reading/watching horror or suspense stuff, which happens rarely.
12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?
A friend, although they didn't know it.
13. WHAT'S YOUR WORST FEAR?
Burning.
14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR/EYE COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Don't really care, tbh.
15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF PROPOSING?
I can't.
16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK?
Coffee, unless we're talking Red Eye.
17. FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Single topping? Well, it has to be cheese, in that pizza without cheese isn't pizza to me. If this means "batch of toppings", um, hmm. Probably Pizza Capers' Al Funghi.
18. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
A really good burrito.
19. FAVORITE COLOR OF ALL TIME?
Red.
20. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A GOLDFISH?
No! Have most people? Am I missing out on a formative experience here?
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST MEANINGFUL GIFT YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED?
I remember getting my first piece of adult jewellery, a pearl ring, when I was in my teens.
22. DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH?
No.
23. ARE YOU DOUBLE JOINTED?
No.
24. FAVORITE CLOTHING BRAND?
I am so not a brand-name shopper, I'll confess.
25. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE FEMALE/MALE CELEBRITY?
Ugh, tricky. Do I interpret "favourite" to mean "that I'd most want to meet"? "That I most admire?" "That I find most attractive"? "Whose work I enjoy most"?
Let's answer two:
That I find most attractive: Katee Sackhoff, Ben Browder
Whose work I enjoy most: Angelina Jolie, Stephen Fry.
26. DO YOU HAVE A PET RIGHT NOW?
No.
27. WHAT KIND IS IT?
N/A.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
I don't know; maybe. I tend to find that I don't fall for someone until I've allowed myself to think that way about them, and it would depend on how far in the future they were leaving. And how far they were going, and how long for, and so on.
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED?
Thirty.
31. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
Brunettes. :)
32. FAVORITE QUOTE?
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe there are fairies at the bottom of it?" - Douglas Adams.
33. FAVORITE PLACE?
Lord Howe Island, a little slice of island heaven off the eastern coast of Australia.
34. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE USA?
Since I don't live there (hi, USA-centric questions!), obviously. As an adult, I've travelled to the Netherlands, the UK, the USA and New Zealand. (Plus brief stays in places like Malaysia, in transit.)
35. WEAKNESSES?
Insecurity, procrastination.
37. FIRST JOB?
Babysitting.
38. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
No.
39. DO YOU THINK EVERYONE OUT THERE HAS A SOULMATE?
Not really; I tend to think that everyone has a number of appropriate partners, but some people do seem to do their best to make themselves unloveable.
40. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED THIS OUT?
Playing Facebook games and chatting to a friend.
41. HAVE YOU EVER HAD SURGERY?
Yes; heart surgery and orthopaedic surgery, as a direct result of The Accident*.
42. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
I... don't, generally.
Oh, wait; my mother compliments my "clear thinking".
43. HAVE YOU EVER HAD BRACES?
No.
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Depending on release date, possibly a new iPhone.
45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT AND THEIR NAMES?
I don't want kids, actually.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
No, although I do share my first name with my ... great grandmother, I think.
47. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST TURN OFF OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?
yay for heteronormativity!
Let's just say that my biggest turn-off in anybody is hypocrisy.
48. WHAT IS ONE THING YOU LIKE(D) ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I had great friends.
49. WHAT KIND OF SHAMPOO DO YOU USE?
Pantene.
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Mostly, yes.
51. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
...I can't remember the last time I ate 'lunch meat'.
So I'm going to cheat and say 'prosciutto'. That counts, right? :)
52. ANY BAD HABITS?
Procrastination :)
53. ARE YOU A JEALOUS PERSON?
Sadly, yes - it's part and parcel of insecurity. However, I tend to keep it on a fairly tight leash, because I know it's unattractive and unfair.
54. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
This sounds really bad, but probably not. :)
55. DO YOU AGREE WITH FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS?
"Agree with"?
If you can have a friends-with-benefits arrangement that works for you, and doesn't damage your friendship, I say thumbs up.
56. DO LOOKS MATTER?
Yes and no. I don't demand any particular standard of attractiveness, but I do think that the grooming and hygiene components of "looks" are important.
57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
I don't, actually, tend to get angry often. When I do, generally it manifests storming around my kitchen yelling sullenly at the cabinets, or venting to a friend in IM, or bottling it all up. :)
58.WOULD YOU RATHER GAIN 58 POUNDS OR LOSE 58 POUNDS.
Lose, please god.
59. WHAT'S YOUR MAIN GOAL IN LIFE?
To be happy, and to make the world a better place in some way. Sounds really clichéd, but it's true.
60. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
Star Wars toys, plural. I had the Millenium Falcon with the beepy laser noises and all.
61. HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE IN YOUR CELL PHONE?
Probably a dozen or two? I'm not really sure. My mobile phone is my main phone, though, so there's a fair few businesses in there too.
62.WERE YOU A FAN OF BARNEY AS A LITTLE KID?
It didn't exist when I was a kid, but if it had, I wouldn't have seen it. My parents were pretty selective about what I watched and how much of it.
63. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Me? Never!
;)
64. MASHED POTATOES OR MACARONI AND CHEESE?
Macaroni and cheese is not a particularly common meal in Australia; I'd say 'either', I guess.
65. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
A shared sense of humour, mainly. More than anything, to me that indicates a shared outlook on the world.
66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
Well, Jamie calls me "Pip", Adam calls me "Ellebelle", Dad calls me "Ellie Jane", and a couple of other friends call me "Elliebear".
...and weirdly, my first response to that question was "oh, I don't have any". :)
67. FAVORITE SUPER POWER?
It's a really tough call between flight and invisibility. Can't I have both?
68. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW?
Of all time, Farscape.
Of what's currently airing, top 3 are NCIS, Burn Notice and Castle.
69. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR ENEMIES?
Um, I tend to be a bit vindictive; let's just move on past this before I embarrass myself.
70. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
nom nom nom nom
Lemon gelati, or vanilla icecream (especially with some blackberries or raspberries or black cherries and juice, to add zing).
71. DO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR FINGERS AND TOES?
I do! I can't remember where I left them, but they're around here somewhere...
...I kid. Yes, I do.
72. DO YOU HAVE A COMPUTER IN YOUR ROOM?
This whole "your room" thing makes me feel like this quiz is aimed at teenagers!
Living room: one computer (Mac mini) hooked up to the TV & stereo as a media centre. Old laptop (Powerbook) living under the couch for some reason. Dining room: laptop (Macbook) currently on dining table from last gaming session. Study: my computer (Mac Pro) and secondary/backup computer (Mac mini).
73. PLANS FOR TONIGHT?
Probably play some WoW. I am so exciting, you don't even know.
Alternatively, hopefully, gaming (as in a tabletop RPG), but that depends on whether the GM can make it.
74. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO LIVE WHEN YOU ARE OLDER?
Brisbane is fine, unless I have a reason to move.
75. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
I am neutral on the issue.
76. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
I was listening to an old Matchbox 20 album, but it's ended, so now all I hear is the gentle whirring of computer fans. Let's fix that.
Okay - now I'm listening to a song called "Here We Are", by Storm Large, whose music was introduced to me by my last boyfriend.
77. LAST THING YOU DRANK?
Black cherry juice after draining the tin.
78. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
A friend, last night, to tell them my power was out so they shouldn't wait for me in WoW.

Wow, this is such a weird, broad question.
Probably how they dress, I guess.
80. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
Tabletop RPGs, computer gaming, reading fanfic, vidding, reading in general.
81. FAVORITE THING TO HATE?
People who project their own desires and needs onto other people.
82. FAVORITE SEASON OF THE YEAR?
Winter.
83. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF CANDY?
Fox's Glacier Mints, an incredibly delicious British sweet.
84. HAVE YOU EVER REALLY AND TRULY HAD A BEST FRIEND?
Definitely. I have been very lucky in that regard.
85. WHAT IS YOUR HAIR COLOR?
Typically it's blondeish, but I've been an indoorsy (what? if outdoorsy is a word surely the opposite can be one too!) recluse for a few years now so it's kind of mid-brown. Once I'm all healthy again I'll probably dye it black again; I liked it when it was black.
86. EYE COLOR?
Blue.
87. SHOE SIZE?
Not small. Aussie ladies' 10s, which - according to google - is a USA ladies' 10 as well.
88. FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE?
McDonalds', tragically enough.
89. FAVORITE RESTAURANT?
I used to say The Roman Empire, but I heard it's gone downhill since last I've been in a way to go restaurantifying.
90. DO YOU LIKE SUSHI?
No, although I wish I did. People who enjoy it seem to get so much pleasure out of it, but the whole "raw" aspect just squicks me :/

Technically, in that I did watch the pilot of In Plain Sight after midnight, so it was technically 'today'. :)
92. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
Christmas.
93. PLAY ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS?

94. REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT?
Neither; I'm a lot more left-wing than the Democrats, who seem to be pretty centrist or slightly right-wing, just less so than the Republicans.
95. KISSES OR HUGS?
Hugs, generally.
96. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS?
Both? :D If I had to choose one, relationships.
97. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU BOUGHT?
Groceries, due to be delivered in about an hour.
98. WOULD YOU EVER BE A HOUSEWIFE?
Yes, although I'd probably be pretty bored. I do enjoy cooking, though, so that part would be fun.
99. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?
One of the Jaz Parks series.
100. DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE:
Single for the last few years, because I've been struggling with ill health and not in a state to try and meet new people. Prior to that, was in a LD LTR with a Californian boy. I've historically gone out with guys who were too passive for me, and when I get back to actually having a love life, I will be trying to make some changes in my patterns.
* I referred to "The Accident" a few times. I was hit by a car while a pedestrian a few years ago; it messed me up but good, nearly killed me, and has generally complicated things since then. Not to be angsty about it, you understand, just so I'm clear.
