nnyBecause I am procrastinatory and can't think of something for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rymenhild's request until I'm more awake:
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
I'm looking for one, now. Hmm. I have a persistant pink mark on my left knee, which is finally starting to fade, which was from the first year when I was running to the take-away when I was drunk. It was raining rather hard, and I was so excited to have reached the take-away that I bounced. On a wet drain cover. And slipped over quite spectacularly. I still have bloodstains on my trainers, actually, which is kinda gross.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Er... *looks*
Above my computer I have a black and white poster - Poet's Walk photographed by Henri Silberman, also a note that says 'write note for Crowley'. Over my bed I have a smiling Johnny Depp with a guitar, and a Wimbledon poster I'm always looking to replace; it's really not the best picture of Paul ever, and I can't bear Kirsten Dunst. Over the fireplace I have a collection of postcards from everywhere and everyone, because I adore random postcards; there's also an arched gothic mirror that I got from WOMAD. Finally next to the window there's a brightly coloured woven bag hanging from a picture hook, and an Edward Monkton calendar.
3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?
Like it's fallen down escalators. Which it has.
4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
Depends on my mood. Doesn't everything? At the moment I'm kind of on a folk kick.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
About half five. Tea time.
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
A hug.
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
My mum and my little sister. Also, my dad. And my other sister and brother although I would never tell them.
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?
My printing block. Made of various woods and gorgeous. Also my 1930's typewriter. I'm totally planning the decorations of a study I may never have.
9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?
Sandalwood.
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
Not in the same way as most people. Not being able to push things, getting my feet tangled in sheets, not being able to squeeze rubber-band balls even though it looks like I should be able to, wearing shoes that're too small, that makes me claustrophobic. Small spaces are dandy.
11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Depends what I've just been dreaming.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME?
Paco Rabane: Elle.
Yeah, I know, I have a favourite designer perfume. WTF?

21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU (OF THE OPPOSITE SEX)?
If we're talking, like, lovers tokens, it was either white musk body spray or a pair of earrings, both of which were from my first boyfriend, Sebastian.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
That is exactly the sort of thing I would do, although I don't appear to fall in love easily.
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?

I'd always thought brunettes, but. Paul and Callum. But man, auburn hair is so hot. I'm easy, let's face it.
