12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest?
13. What is your favourite memory of us?
14. What is your favourite guilty pleasure?
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you:

8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: None
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? No
10. What's your philosophy on life? Five parts Christian, three parts Tao, three parts Zen, two parts Jewish, two parts existentialist, two parts pragmatic. tl;dr "mustn't grumble!"

15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I have better vision in my left eye than in my right. My left eye is also a few shades lighter.
16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarky) - what are they? To have a publishing house wrapped around my little finger, to be assured that I will have a wife and children some day, and to have a doctorate-level degree.
17. Can we get together and make a cake? Conceivably we could, but in practise probably not.
18. Which country is your spiritual home? Britain mainly, but I also gravitate towards Tibet (pre-Red China), Bhutan, Ireland, Lithuania, and Japan.

20. Do you think I'm a good person? Yes

24. What do you wear to sleep? It varies from nothing to fully clothed, usually because I either strip completely or go unconscious before I can take anything off.

26. Cigarettes or alcohol? Neither
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? Oh, Hell, I have no idea. Whatever YOU wanted to do.
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Sure, why not?
