1. What does your LJ name mean?
I wanted Lianna (which is a combination of my first, middle and last names) but it was taken, so I went with an alternate spelling taken from Lhiana Shee.
2. What does your LJ head line mean?
I’m the redheaded stepchild of the desert (born in MI but consider myself from AZ…) with creosote instead of cinders, always dancing.
3. Elaborate on your default photo:
That’s Tranikla, the horse I used to ride in Flagstaff. He’s a brat, but I love him. My sister took the photo.
4. What's your current relationship status?
Precarious. Confused. Always.
5. What exactly are you wearing right now?
My favorite jeans, maroon tank top, blue zippy cable-knit sweater, beige lacey bra, turquoise “Tom and Jerry” undies, blue argyle socks, beaded moccasins, brown leather belt, mother-of-pearl and silver ring from Mexico, a silver heart necklace I made myself, and my Tortoiseshell-rhinestone “rockstar” sunglasses on my head.
And mascara. And contact lenses. And a smile.
6. What is your current problem?
It’s deadline/production week, I’m a week behind in ceramics, and all I want to do is stay at home and write and play the piano. Oh, and the wash machine is broken.
7. What do you love most?
Really amazing music and dancing. Music that fits the atmosphere.
Beautifully written words. Poetry in disguise.
Horses. Riding bareback, especially when it’s warm out.
Sunshine, rainstorms, water. Being outside. Sprawling on warm boulders.
My friends. Laughing. Good conversations.
Interacting with people who are crazy, wildly intense, chaotic and wonderful.
Foreign languages taking shape on my tongue. Accents.
Taking a hot bath with scented oils when I’m sore and tired. Massages.
Connecting.
Physical affection. Hugs. And kisses (but not from random people on the dance floor).
First-thing-in-the-morning love-making.
Curling up in a comfy chair with a cup of coffee, a blanket, and a good book.
Bare feet.
Rescuing spiders. Puppy piles.
Really good seafood. Really good food in general.
Hands buried in mud or clay. Sleeping outside under the stars.
Wearing flowers in my hair. Aesthetically-pleasing color schemes.
The smell of the desert when it rains.
8. What makes you most happy?
see above...
9. Are you musically talented?
I’ve been told I’m a closet musician.
10. If you could go back in time, and change something, what would it be?
That would change who I am now, and I think I’m in a good place. But, if I could change that one thing and still be pretty much the same person… I would not be a fool and get back together with my ex-boyfriend from college.
