wiebke:
1. Can you cook? Yes! And bake.
2. What was your dream growing up? Become famous poet or writer.
3. What talent do you wish you had? Reading music and playing an instrument
4. Favorite place? The island of Mainau in the Lake of Constance
5. Favorite vegetable? Depends. I like lots of vegetables. The one I use most at the moment is pointy red peppers
6. What was the last book you read? Finished 'December' by Phil Rickman; reading 'The Ringed Castle' by Dorothy Dunnett
7. What zodiac sign are you? Capricorn - but the only capricorn-y thing I do is working with lists and taming databases
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Ears pierced. Tattoo of a deep and meaningful whorl on my right shoulder
9. Worst Habit? No patience with idiots
10. Do we know each other outside of lj? Yes - guessing I'm answeringwiebke , that is
11. What is your favorite sport? To watch? Snooker. To do? Cycling.
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude? Personally optimistic, pessimistic about the world and future.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Call for help, then chat and catch up about people, the newest escapades ofcracicotus or nazgulwears perhaps, and of course about Storm and the Wraeththuites. I guess when our rescuers came, we'd ask them if they can come back later.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you? So bad I don't like to talk about it. Also, very far back in the past, so of no current concern.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you: Here are six (in German, but the ladywiebke speaks German). One of them at random: I hate housework with a deep, fierce passion; but I hate a mess a tiny, tiny little bit more. So I do my housework, and get in a terrible snark over it. I wish I'd live in a society where you can keep slaves - just for that! I want a slave who keeps my place clean and lovely and slinks away when I come home. My cat Lucifer hates the vacuum, by the way, which doesn't make my relationship with housework any easier.
16. Do you have any pets? My ginger tomcat, Lucifer Findus Brannigan. His balls so totally have to come off soon, but he'll still be a tomcat after that. At least he won't be a girl. He'll be a *affects Jack Sparrow tone of voice* 'Snip-snip - eunuch!'
17. Do you know how to do the macerana? No -- and even when I hear the directions, I can't do it.
18. What time is it where you are now? 11:32 am
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Silly
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? No comment, see point 4. on the above-linked list of 6 weirdnesses
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? Depends on the crime.
22. What color eyes do you have? True hazel.
23. Ever been arrested? Not even close.
24. Bottle or Draft? Either, depending. But I'd rather have wine or cider if I may, please?
25. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it? Convert it to Euros immediately, of course! Then buy the largest model of iMac and use it as an entertainment centre for true media convergence. Put the rest by for when I have to move so I could buy a better sofa - perhaps even the sofa? Yep, iMac and the sofa for the next place would be it.
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew? I think I haven't chewed bubble gum in a decade
27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at? The 'Australese' one around the corner
28. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes, definitely! Only I don't think the can be as definite and personal as I playhomeless_ghost in Morningstar Manor. Things going bump without explanation, or electronics malfunctioning spontaneously in a certain place is most likely it.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? What spare time? Nahh, I guess sitting at the computer and writing for Morningstar Manor with other people is spare time. That's what I do. If I'm at loose ends with no book? I plot.
30. Do you swear a lot? Yes.
31. Biggest pet peeve? Resource hogs - people that use up space, things, energy, bandwidth, computer time etc idly and without any point when it should be shared among everybody (for a given value of 'everybody')
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself? Lazy
33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? Erm, that only applied when the questionnaire was done differently. I already reposted, didn't I? Now anybody who wants it can gank in turn.
Where her answers were the same I'd give as well, I left them in and put them in italics. No reason to come up with new, original ways of saying the same thing...
