Getting to know you . . .

[oneyedchicklet]

My grandfather on my dad's side. For just not getting along with him.

Do you have any phobias?

HUGS
Barb

[ambercissism]

Yeah, Acro and Hydro ( I almost drowned when I was six. But I do take a bath )


Do you have a birthmark?

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

Yes I do - I have a strawberry birthmark underneath my left breast.


Are you a home-bird or a social butterfly?

[FineyMcFine]

Kind of both. I love being at home, but I'm also very social and love seeing my friends.

Girls: thong or non-thong underwear?
Boys: boxers or briefs?
Both/Either: why do you prefer the type of underwear you wear?

[Auburn]

I usually prefer hipster briefs because I don't like constant wegies. I will wear thongs if I'm wearing tight clothes though.

What is the longest amount of time you have ever spent on the phone?

[Thianne]

i think an hour and a half, more or less. i kinda see my friends everyday so i don't really need to stay hours on the phone.

what is the room of your house that you like the most and why?

[umgaynow]

My bedroom because it is the only place I can get any solitude

Do you believe in reincarnation?

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

Yes I do. I'm a past life regression therapist (amongst other things). It's not the sole thing that I do, nor does it constitute much of my day to day work, but I do facilitate regressions fairly frequently. It was something I trained in because I believe in it.



Do you wear underwear every day? (sorry, naughty question)

[DelWhicker]

No.

What's the thing you want to do most before you die?

[Auburn]

There is more than one thing, but perhaps travel Australia would be one.


If you could live anywhere where would it be?

[db]

Somewhere sunny and green, surrounded by lots of friends and loved ones with easy access to beautiful places to hike and camp. Ode to lovely sunny days and good friends to share them with. *sigh*

If you had to choose between ideal location vs ideal community which would you choose and why?

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

That's tough. Over here, location tends to also mean a nice community. I thrive on pleasant surroundings but if I had the neighbours from hell...

I think I'd have to go with community - but that was a very hard question!




What was the last thing you bought for yourself that was a sheer indulgence?

[Boschi]

Bottle of Ramos Pintos 20 year port. (Sigh... )


What was your favorite meal growing up and can you now prepare it?

[dynigirl]

A My favoorite meal was fish fingers mash potatoes peas and gravy, with a flake for dessert. We had it for dinner every Friday, cooked by my Grandad.

Q When did you last change your sheets?

[Kaia]

Umm...last tuesday. But the cleaning lady does it, not me...unless we spill something like, I dunno...chocolate syrup or stuff like that, hehe.
So i guess it means the cleaning lady will change them tomorrow, like every tuesday.

When was the last time you took a bubble bath and under what circumstances?

[Gatito Grande]

Um, a couple of hours ago?

GG I take a bubble-bath every few days! Out

What was the last plant you grew from a seed? (Feel free to euphemize, if there are legal issues! )

ETA: I'm Pancakes in Bellies now! (Ever so much more appetizing, than "Apple Sauce & Tuna" IMHO)

[DelWhicker]

Cannabis Sativa, but only for scientific and medical purposes. Honest.

How many siblings do you have?

[dynigirl]

A Just one that's enough, even if I don't talk to him

Q Who do you wish you could spend more time with?

[Emms]

I had five (not including myself) but two of my brothers passed away in seperate car accidents. So now it's just me, my little sister, my older sister and older brother.

ETA: dynigirl beat me to it

I wish I could spend more time with my mom.

What is your favorite movie?

[DelWhicker]

The Color Purple. Contact is a very very close second. So close that it's actually a tie.

Where do you get most of your news from? Radio, internet, printed media, or TV?

[dynigirl]

A Sky news. It is on constantly at work, I phase it out most of the time, so its a good job all it does is loop so I have a rough idea what is going on by the time I finish for the day.

Q When did you last send flowers?

[kisstheviolets]

last wednesday, to cheer up the girl i was seeing whose dad was just diagnosed with bladder cancer and to let her know i wanted to be here for her through this, even though we're a pretty new thing. heard from her on friday and she was really touched and so we're all good.

do you have a best friend (who isn't your spouse or sig. other) and if so, how did you meet and why are they your best friend?

[inlerf]

two, i suppose. i don't like the term "best friend" as it implies there can be only one (best) when they all are really "best" in their own ways.

anyway, so closest friend #1, met her in high school. i really disliked her at first, for an utterly stupid reason (that she got to be cameraman for a group project ;P). but after a year, we got closer, esp when we were 15 onward. so and after 4 years of secondary school, yay! why: she's always there for me, even though some times i wasn't for her ;x

#2: he lives in my (home country) estate. we played soccer together since ~2002, but only started saying hi a year and half later, after a supper three of us (with another acquaintance) had. since then, after one or two more awkward suppers, we decided to form a pact and boom! instant friendship. why: i adore his intellect first and foremost. he made me feel that my philosophical questions weren't weird or abnormal (as then, a few years ago in the stage of puberty, i found no voices discussing such things; the one person i spoke to about life, death and afterlife smashed them to smithereens, that i "shouldn't be thinking about" such things (i got the notion that they were "rubbish"). bleh. though i understand now why.) and shared with me his. basically he guided back up a (now) major part of myself that i suppressed.

Who do you most respect and why? (must be someone(s) you know personally)

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

That would be the woman that owns one of the health clinics I work from. She's a self-reliant, strong businesswoman, yet has fabulous empathy. I have lots of respect for her.



What is the first thing you do in the morning - after getting out of bed?

[Alcy]

Lean back over the bed and tuck my partner back in cos she doesnt have to get up when I do...dammit!

Q: Skiing or snowboarding? (If you haven't done either, which do you think you'd prefer)

[Auburn]

Snowboarding.... controlling one thing with two feet seems like a better choice to me.

If you could decorate one room in your house to be really fancy, which one would it be?

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

My bedroom. I definitely like luxury in the bedroom. Not so much in terms of colours, I'm a fan of simple, neutral colours, but I'm very tactile so I would love loads of soft furnishings and fabrics - silks, satins and velvets, I also love candles and crystals, lots of opulence but with neutral colours.



Do you play any musical instruments? If so, what, and if not, what do you wish you could play?

[inlerf]

i'm still at piano grade 6. stopped when i was 14 really, just dragged on and on till 16. bleh. was a miracle i passed (by one mark! ;D). took basics of drums last year; dropped after couple of weeks cause i couldn't keep up. ;x

i'd love to be able to fluently play the piano, drums, cello, trumpet, and grow six other arms and do my own old-jazz band ;D

Got a photo/s in your wallet? if so who? if not, why not?

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

I have photos of my daughters and also a photo tucked away of my sweetheart. I take it out and sneak a peek when no-one is looking.



Are you a night-owl or a morning-bird?

[FineyMcFine]

These days, a morning bird/early bird. Used to be a night owl, but it changed somewhere along the line when I got a real job and got a little older.

Do you shower/bathe at night or in the morning?
