Oh yes... Maris for a girl and Carson for a boy (though my wife whole heartedly disagrees with "Carson" )

Um... how much lint is in your dryer's lint trap? A small, medium, large or an insane someone-call-the-fire-department amount of lint?

Quite a small amount - we clean the trap out thoroughly between each load.

Hmm, one from Lanzarote that is a clip and holds up the shopping list.
One from Fuerteventura that is the shape of the island and has glittery bits on it.
And one from New York that has a picture of the sky line on it.

What is your favourite theme park?

I don't really have one - does that make me dull and boring? Actually it means I have a heart murmur and am not really supposed to ride the scary rides which makes theme parks all but redundant for me.

My Grandma - although she's no longer with us. She didn't have any grand achievements in life, brought up 4 children and helped bring up numerous Grandchildren (me included) but she was the kind of woman that everyone who knew her loved, her door was always open, her house was always full of people and of love. If I could aspire to be like anyone, it would be her. I miss her dreadfully too.

KD Lang - All You Can Eat.

Bought it second hand from Amazon this week for the grand sum of 99p - simply because I wanted to hear one song on it that Candleshoe had recommended for my music list ('I Want It All'). It was worth it for that song alone :)

Might I add that I will be running the hotel at said pub. So please hurry up an earn enough that we can retire.

The book I dislike the most I don't actually know the title of. I tried to read it while flying to the UK from Vancouver via LA after a year away. I picked up the booked from a hostel book swop, it was about russian terroists. Not quiet what I wanted to read on the first flight on my airline since 9/11, one week later. I was stuck on the plain before I had chance to found out what it was about and there wasn't alot I could do about it then.

Well, as a rule I do not slap people. It makes me feel guilty and then there is the whole violence payback thing I like to avoid... 'cause of the whole violence factor.

But in my *mind*? Rush Limbaugh. Dumb troll.

I'd support the RSPCA. I have more time for animals than people. Most of the time, people suck. And not in a good way.

So, staying on topic:

Well, there's different kinds of weepy. If it's just a sappy, romantic, and nostalgic kind of weepy, Desert Hearts fills the bill nicely (the music alone! And it was this movie---20 years ago this month!---which made me finally "do the math" re my grrl-lovin' :heart :pride)

But if it's a truly sad---not to mention sappy, romantic, and increasingly nostalgic---kind of weepy, then rather than a "movie", the series finale to Xena: Warrior Princess, "A Friend in Need", gets me (figuratively-speaking anyway) cryin' like nobody's biz. :sob

GG That's me yelling "Dump the ashes, G!" *Every*Single*Time* :paranoid Out

I was 12 years old when I fell in love with my best friend. I was told I could not possibly be in love because I was too young, but now that I'm old enough to know better, I know it was the most in love I've ever been, and since my heart hadn't been broken yet, all caution was thrown to the wind, and I was able to give myself completely which is something I have never been able to do again. After that, I realized I was gay. I just knew it, but again, too many bad influences telling me that I could not possibly know for sure because I hadn't given guys a chance, so I started dating guys in my mid-teens, and realized for absolute sure at 16, that yep, definitely gay.

Well I once got a work review that said I was a "talented intrapersonal communicator". Whatever that means.

But really? Yeah. Artistic. Drawing, Painting. Sculpture. That sort of thing. But I squander it... so there's that.

Gut instinct is to say chocolate, but actually that's not wholly correct. I really think bread is my favourite food. Fresh, just warm, granary bread. Sometimes with butter but equally wonderful alone.

Either not studying for my logic quizzes, thus now I flunked the subject, or not eating on that fateful day when I first met my very-soon-to-be-ex crush, which made me so tired I was a complete idiot.

If it's not a blouse, by the collar. The hem way turns the shirt inside out and that bugs me.
