1. Are you named after someone?
Not as far as I am aware. Certainly not after any relatives. When I was little my Mum tried to convince me that they had originally intended to call me Olga da Polga though, which was the name of a guinea pig main character of a book I had!
2. When was the last time you cried?
Probably a few weeks back when I was PMSing.
3. Do you like your handwriting?
Yes, for the most part unless I'm in a hurry and so scribbling. The caveat is that for some reason I am incapable of properly writing the curve of a capital B or number 3 at a normal handwriting speed which annoys me but apparently cannot be fixed. (I have tried.)
4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
What counts as a lunch meat? Tuna? Otherwise probably oak-smoked thinly sliced ham.
5. Do you have any kids?
Nope.
6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
Uh... Too many variables here. Probably? I mean, I have friends so it isn't statistically impossible or anything.
7. Do you use sarcasm?
Hell yeah.
8. Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes.
9. Would you bungee?
No. I have done a solo parachute jump from 2500 feet though. I think a bungee jump would actually be harder as the ground is so much closer and therefore more real.
10. What is your favorite cereal?
Crunchy Nut Cornflakes! When I was a kid though it was Cocoa Pops because the only time I was allowed to have them was when we were away on holiday. That chocolate milk thing was just too decadent for normal life!
11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Yes.
12. Do you think you’re strong?
Not physically. Not always in other ways either, depending on the day.
13. What is your favorite ice cream?
I think probably strawberry.
14. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?
Height. As in how much they loom over me since I'm only 4'11".
15. Red or pink?
Red.
16. What is your least favorite thing about yourself?
Selfishness.
17. What color pants and shoes are you wearing right now?
No shoes, blue jeans. Unless this is for the other kind of pants - they are none of your business.
18. What was the last thing you ate?
An Earl Grey tea flavour chocolate truffle.
19. What are you listening to right now?
Thankfully nothing, as my neighbour (whose music and tv can usually be heard nice and clearly through the wall of this room) has stopped watching for now.
20. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Blue.
21. What’s your favorite smell?
Fresh lavender.
22. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
A supplier I called at work.
23. What’s your favorite sport to watch?
Probably tennis, but I don't really watch any.
24. What’s your real hair color?
Brown.
25. What’s your eye color?
Brown/hazel.
26. Do you wear contacts?
No, too squeamish about it.
27. What’s your favorite food?
A non-exhaustive list, off the top of my head: Spaghetti bolognese, mature cheddar cheese, chocolate, pears, prawn cocktail, steak, cauliflower cheese, mushrooms, thai red curry, ice-cream, fresh pineapple, chicken satay, crepes with lemon and sugar, sausages with onion gravy, leek soup...
28. Scary movie or happy ending?
Happy ending. My subconscious is good enough at giving me freaky dreams without ammunition from scary films.
29. Last movie you watched?
Hercules, the Disney version. Fun, good soundtrack, but not a classic.
30. What color shirt are you wearing?
Sort of dusky pink henley.
31. Summer or winter?
Summer. I loathe leaving the house and then getting home both in the dark.
32. Hugs or kisses?
Hugs.
33. What’s your favorite dessert?
This is way too hard a question! (Chocolate cheescake is a front runner though.)

Off and on in between fanfiction: Immortal Milk (subtitled Adventures in Cheese) by Eric LeMay and (for the nth time) The Tough Guide to Fantasyland by Diana Wynne Jones.
35. What is your profile pic?
Eilean Donan Castle. Because I'm Scottish and a Highlander fan.
36. What did you last watch on TV?
Not on TV, but on youtube I caught up with all the episodes of Supersizers Go.../Supersizers Eat... with Sue Perkins and Giles Coren spending a week eating food from particular time periods, dressing up and being silly. Entertaining and interesting.
37. Favorite sound?
Do people actually have favourite sounds?
38. Rolling Stones or Beatles?
Don't really care, though I could name/recognise far more Beatles songs so they probably win by default.
39. What is the farthest you’ve been from home?
China.
40. Do you have a special talent?
Not that I can think of.
41. Where were you born?
In a hospital in Scotland that no longer exists.
