Ok, people. No more silence. If you're on my friends list there are some essential  things I need to know about you. Most of these are completely irrelevant, but I wanna know anyway. 33 questions about you. GO

1. Can you cook?
In theory I can. However, things start getting a bit hairy if I try to do more than boil water by myself. So, yes... better not to leave me alone in a kitchen. Bad things will happen.

2. What was your dream growing up?
I wanted to be a pilot, which is ironic as hell since I have such a crippling fear of heights and flying.

3. What talent do you wish you had?
There are many, many things I wish I could do. However, I would definitely be willing to sell parts of my metaphorical soul to become a half-way decent artist. I have a friend who's fantastic and it makes me more than a little green with envy even though I love her to bits.

4. Favorite place?
Muizenberg beach, Cape Town.

5. Favorite vegetable?
Mushrooms, hands down. Though technically I suppose they're a fungus and not a vegetable but I get rather uncomfortable thinking about them in those terms. I start thinking about athletes foot and then lose my entire appetite.

6. What was the last book you read?
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

2. Maybe you trusted you furture skills more than those of another pilot's. Makes sense in my backwards-Anna-logic way.
5. I'm allergic (slightly, no hives or anything), but I eat 'em anyway. Why pick them off? There's no escaping them.
9. Wow, you just described me, minus the nutshell.
10. Austrailia, correct? Did any of those fires happen in your area?
11. Horses kind of intimidate me. Not because of their size, but b/c they have no distinct facial expressions, or that I'm aware of.
12. Get me in there long enough and I'll do the same thing
13. That's awesome! Mom won't let me change my hair color, but I love to see other people's

2. Oh, I know beyond a reasonable doubt that if lives depended on my flying a plane then the people'd better make peace with their maker.
5. I think that, insofar as adding to a meal, mushrooms are killer. On their own, though? They kinda suck. And make me feel like I'm chomping snails.
9. I'm told I'm annoyingly perceptive like that.
10. South Africa, actually. So, uh... no. No fires in the area that I know of.
11. Well I guess that's as good a reason as any. Though I have seen some horses that are really expressive. Granted they're usually making faces AT me but, well... I make faces right back.

2. Yeah, same here. My driving partner (stupid redneck jackas guy, Bobby) say he's afraid when I drive in class. If my driving is that bad, than I don't have much hope for flying skills. On the off chance that I fly a plane, I would add intense prayer to the passenger safety rules. "Thank you for flying with us. We hope you survive your flight."
5. Ew, why would anyone eat mushrooms alone? I can see someone snacking on carrots or celery but mushrooms... I'd assume they were eating the illegal magical ones.
9. I think perceptiveness (perception?) is prefered over oblivion.
10. Whoops, wrong friend. A lot of my f-list is from Austrailia, so bad
assuming!me.
11. Hmm, maybe they all just look at me the same way. That's good, no one is above a good :P

2. My brother used to be like that, until I got my license and then refused to lift/drive him anywhere.
9. Agreed.
10. No worries.

2. My sister was generous enough to give me a lift... as long as I chipped in for gas and refrained from gaggin while she chain-smoked. Good times. Oh, she even drove me to my first date. I was smelling so pretty then when she dropped me off I smelled like an ashtray.
