Random Questions:

 

- On a scale of 1-5, how organized are you? 2, always striving for a 5

 

- Where, outside of the U.S. would you love to visit? (if you're international, this can be anywhere) Italy, Paris, back to the Caribbean all the cliche'd places of yore.

 

- Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age? Older.

 

-If I gave you a toy gun with flashing lights, would you hide and start shooting people from around corners OR would you thank me on the IGI thread and then quietly donate it (a niece, Oxfam, Goodwill, wherever)? (there are no wrong answers for this, so don't be afraid to answer honestly) I would proudly stand in the open with that baby a-waving, shooting everything in sight. Bonus points if it makes sounds!

 

- What animal do you feel like the most? I don't really know.

 

- Your favorite feature about yourself: Eyes. Always eyes.

 

- Do you live in a neighborhood or in the middle of nowhere? Neighbourhood.

 

-Have you ever thought, "oh, I'm going to get myself one of those one of these days" but then never do? List 1 under $10 and 1 over $10. Under $10: Glass measuring cups. Over $10: More BPAL

 

- How do you feel about boi witches? Boy witches are warlocks. *sagenod*

 

- Do you like garage sales (boot sales)? Sometimes. I have limits on what I would buy used.

 

- I like to slather my food in …: Gravy. Or Hollandaise sauce. Whatever is more appropriate.

 

- State fairs or carnivals? Call me a crazy Canadian... but aren't they the same thing???

 

- You throw caution to the wind and runaway to join a traveling circus. What job would you want ( a main performer, a side show, a behind the scenes spot, etc) and why? Main performer. I used to do musical theatre and I miss performing a great deal.

 

- What mythical or fantastic race of creatures (dragons, unicorns, griffins, elves, dwarves, faeries, etc.) do you most identify with? Not actually knowing the lore behind a lot of these creatures and going purely with what the media has put into my head. Elves. Or faeries. Or unicorns.

 

- Imagine that you're given a shoebox-sized time capsule, and you are asked to put any number of items in the box that symbolize who you are. The items can be may be anything you can imagine, and money is no object, but they must fit within the box. What do you choose? A spent WoW game card, some paper scraps from card making, a handful of wedding photos showing myself my hisband and our families, some loose tea, an empty imp, a book or two, a Disney movie, a saxophone reed, some old sheet music, a piano key or two, something chocolate, a logic puzzle book, dried flowers, a game piece from any of the zillions of board games I have, my d20, a stuffed animal.

 

- Do you need storage boxes? Always!

 

- The world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours? With no budget I would go to the spa for a full day of all the relaxation ever. If I could convince the world to let my husband have the day off too, I would take him with me. I would eat the most extravagent food I could find and rent out an entire movie theatre to watch something. I would go shopping and buy clothes, tea and things for the home. And then I would top it all off with some WoW. Because you can never have too much WoW.

- Do you have an etsy shop? I do not.

 

- Would you like to receive baked goods, if so what kind? Maybe. I don't know about getting them from a Witch, but if they were from a local bakery, that would be cool. I like cupcakes and cookies.

 

- What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Did I mention I like sparkly things? I did? Oh good.

 

Also, I have a chronic pain disorder (fibromyalgia).
