Stolen shamelessly from
viv_darkbloom
1. Elaborate on your default icon.
Satine from Moulin Rouge. My friend Helen once said that Satine reminded her of me through the entire movie... except I don't have TB.
2. Ever have a near-death experience?
Does an allergic reaction to codeine count?
3. Name an obvious quality you have.
Sarcasm and a scintillatingly dry wit.
4. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
"Tonight and the Rest of My Life" by Nina Gordon.
5. Name a celebrity you would marry.
Today it's a toss-up between Gary Oldman, David Thewlis and Viggo. Can I be a polygamist?
6. Who will cut and paste this first?
Everyone's already done it, so no one.
7. Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity?
Well, there's the aforementioned dying-French-courtesan comment above, but my roommates in Toronto all thought I looked like Vivien Leigh.
8. Do you wear a watch? What kind?
I bought it at The Bay before moving to England and it has Roman numerals to show I'm swanky cool.
9. Do you have anything pierced?
Just the ears. I'm a wuss.
10. Do you have any tattoos?
No, but if the Leafs ever win the Cup, that will change...
11. Do you like pain?
Not that big of a fan. But I liked Deb's answer: hickey pain is fine.
12. Do you like to shop?
SHOES SHOES SHOES SHOES SHOES
13. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
Everything because my stupid UK bank won't let me have a debit account.
14. What was the last thing you paid for with your credit card?
Plane ticket.
15. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
Australian Sarah.
16. What is on your desktop background?
I changed it yesterday to Viggo in ROTK while I mark these bastard papers because I need strength... and a big ol' damn sword.
17. What is the background on your cell phone?
A polar bear.
18. What was the last movie you watched?
Father of the Bride: Part II. I have this crazy love for Steve Martin and Martin Short on screen together. I grew up with The Three Amigos... which I think explains a lot.
19. What was the last book you read?
Jane Eyre for the Goodenough Book Club (which I run). Next will be Dark Fire by Christopher Sansom.
