Meme: 100 Questions via [livejournal.com profile] alcathradiel

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
Left calf: Dad took my brother and I to [place] where there was this, in my eyes, utterly awesome big kid's merry-go-round. Mom'd never let us go on it, 'cause of the sketch-factor, but dad did. Elated at finally getting on the merry-go-round, at the end of the ride I jumped off and ran headlong. Next thing I remember I'm trapped against a chickewire fence and my dad and brother are trying to keep me still so they can get a hook-shaped bit of fence out of my leg. I also remember I got a in-the-bum shot of what was probably tetanus and went to school with a big-ass bandage around my calf. ETA: I was < 5 years old.

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS OF YOUR ROOM?
Postcards, glow-in-the-dark stars, three Ikea framed photos (baby versions of cheetah, elephant and lion), Bunny Suicides poster, red-plastic-flower garden lights and a lei.

This, but grey and white. And cheaper.

4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
Anything, really.

5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
Around 8:20 pm, I think. I could be totally making this up, though.

Superficially, my dearest stuffed snow leopard, Leo. Which really means: snuggles, lots of.

7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Absolutely everything.

8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION/s?
Most of my possessions, including my most prized ones, aren't even here, so I can't begin to remember what "most prized possession" I'm missing.

I'm really proud of my fern, though.

10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
No, unless my momentary freak-outs when snorkling could be clasified as clautrophobic.

11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Only if something's jump-started my imagination. Like Reavers, Stone Angels and CaitlĂ­n R. Kiernan's Threshold

12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?
Me. I'm great at that.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOGNE / PERFUME?
Anais Anais and whichever it was Mom used to wear to cocktail parties when I was wee, the smell of which would envelop me as she kissed me goodnight and tucked me into their giant bed.

A drawing. It may have been Peter Pan related.

25. WHAT'S YOUR DREAM CAR?
Bumper car.

28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?

Show it. Every day.
