(no subject)
1. What year was the best year of your life?
1989. I really have no idea why, but I remember being five years old and that being the only year I remember being truly happy with my life. I miss my innocence...
2. One animal or insect that Noah should have left off the ark?
I'm not going to get all philosophical about the possible knock-on effects of killing off any one species. The wasps have to go. They freak me out, really. Just the sound of one buzzing in my ear is enough to sending me tearing across the garden, screaming like a girl. Wait - I *am* a girl. Well, what do you know?
3. Do you make a wish before blowing out your birthday candles?
Yes, but I don't believe they'll come true simple because I wish it.
4. Do you generally open your bills on the day that you receive them?
Yes. If I didn't, I'd forget about them and they wouldn't get paid.
5. How many pillows are on your bed?
Two.
6. Favorite ice cream flavour?
Vanille, raspberry ripple, lemon cheesecake.
7. What is the most dominate color in your wardrobe?
Pink, blue, beige (don't laugh, it looks good on me).
8. Have you ever seen a ghost?
No.
9. Would you rather go to a carnival or circus?
A carnival, if I have to choose.
10. Favorite meal: breakfast, lunch, or dinner?
Lunch (Faye - muffins are an all-day meal *g*)
11. Your favorite fictional animal?
Unicorns and dragons, which people have already said. I hate being unoriginal. How about a griffin? They're very cool :)
12. Have you ever flown first-class?
No. Are you offering?
13. Would you go on a reality show?
No.
14. Are you more optimistic or pessimistic about the future?
I'm a pessimist. As if you didn't know already...
15. Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes! Yum!
16. If you could own a home anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I'd like a chateau in France, please :D And a place in America, and one in Canada, so I could see all my friends without having to fork over hundreds of pounds to the airlines and hotels.
17. Your favorite Soup of the Day?
Tomato or Chicken.
18. What site is a must see for all visitors to your city?
*groans* Oh, don't make me say it...! Alright, fine...there's this bunch of rocks called Stonehenge *dumps Cele and Leci onto Stonehenge and leaves them there* There's also a large and pretty cathedral which everyone likes to come and see, it seems.
19. Can you recommend a good restaurant in your city?
No :P
20. You go to the zoo; What is the one animal that you want to see?
Manatees! Alright, so you don't see many of those at zoos...does Disney count? *g* I love manatees, they're beautiful.
21. Potatoes, rice, or pasta; Which is your favorite?
Pasta.
22. What is the best movie that you've seen this year?
The last time I went to the cinema was to see ROTK last year, so that's the best you'll get from me I'm afraid. Odeon just put their prices up *again* so it'll be the last for a while, too...
23. One of your favorite books when you were a child?
The Narnia series, Anne of Green Gables, many by Enid Blyton and of course The Very Hungry Caterpillar (unlike George Bush, this was in print while I was in my childhood).
24. What in your life are you most grateful for?
My family, my friends, my health, and how privileged I am considering there are so many people who have next to nothing.
25. You are home alone and use the bathroom; do you close the door?
Let's see...I have two cats who follow me everywhere in the house - do I really want them rubbing up against me and climbing on my lap when I'm trying to use the toilet? *g* But yes, I would close it and lock it before I got my babies. Why does everyone think that's weird? I don't.
26. What is your favorite small appliance?
Kettle and sandwich toaster.
27. Salty snacks or sweet treats?
Savoury.
28. Are you usually a little early, a little late, or right on time?
I'm late. I'm always late.
29. What is the most daring thing that you have ever done?
I'm not a daring person by nature. I get on planes though, in spite of the fact that they terrify me. I suppose that's more brave than daring though, no?
30. Have you ever met someone famous? If yes, name one.
I've met authors. Not world famousy ones, but authors nevertheless.
31. What was one of your favorite games as a child?
Monopoly *g*
32. At what age have you looked your best?
I was pretty when I was two...all downhill from there, I'm afraid.
33. One person that never fails to make you laugh?
Ah, I always find questions like these difficult. Sam. It's so good to have a friend who completely understands British sarcastic wit.
34. What was the first music that you ever bought?
Oasis, when I was eleven, I think. I can't stand them now.
35. If you could change one thing about your family life when you were a child, what would it be?
Less yelling, violence, arguments...yeah.
36. What is the one thing that you cook that always receives compliments?
I'm the only one in my family who can poach an egg :D My mum seems to rate my pasta dishes too, although I'm not sure if she's just being kind ;)
37. From what news source do you receive the bulk of your news?
BBC News 24 and The Times.
38. In the last calendar year, how many people have you told that you love them?
Not enough. I need to do that more.
39. Who recieved your first kiss?
I don't think I've really been the kisser. I think I've always been the kissee. Is that even a word, or did I just make a new one?
40. The single most important quality in a mate?
Trust.
41. What do you value most in a relationship?
Trust, loyalty, compassion, friendship, love.
42. Do you believe that you have a soulmate? If yes, have you already met?
I know people who believe they have found their soulmates, and I believe in it for them. I don't believe I will ever meet such a person. The dream sure is nice, though.
43. Do you consider yourself well organized?
No.
44. On average, how many times a day do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Too many, I'm sure, but never to admire myself.

Certainly not.
46. What one quality do you seek in a friend?
Trust.
47. Have you ever killed an animal?
A pheasant kind of semi-flew into my car once. I tried to avoid him, but he did insist on flying *towards* me rather than away from me. Not sure if he was ok :\ Many wasps have also been killed on my behalf.
48. When you were twelve years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A singer or an actress. What the heck happened?
