I have the sneaking suspicion I have already done most of this survey. But I need to distract myself from the Mechanics homework, due next lesson, that I haven't done. Del, this was a *really bad time* for me to turn into you, y'know... I hope you're happy.
[Spell your name backwards]
trah ellehcim; ooh, it looks like almost a language.
[The story behind your LJ user name]
Either you know, or you don't want to know. It has nothing to do with the game.
[Are you a lesbian?]
No.
[How old?]
The universe? Dunno. Me? Seventeen going on seventy, or perhaps seven. You? About three, probably.
[Where do you live?]
In my head. Right now it's not very pretty in here.
[4 words that sum you up]
This Sentance Is False
DESCRIBE YOUR-
[Wallet]
I don't possess a 'wallet'. I have a boring black purse.
[Hairbrush]
Heavy-duty wooden one with nice thick plastic bristles with bobbles on the end. Most hairbrushes fall to bits in about two seconds when faced with my hair.
[Toothbrush]
Purple, with weird curvy foam grip things.
[Jewelry worn daily]
Currently, two silver hairclips with purple 'jewels' in them, because am trying to grow fringe out. If a watch counts, rather battered Winnie-the-Pooh watch with butterflies and pretty colour strap. Otherwise, I just can't be bothered with jewelry regularly.
[Pillow cover]
I have a boring pale-yellow one and a boring mid-blue one. They are boring. I didn't choose them.
[Blanket]
It's got grey and white and pink diagonal stripes on it. I have had it for many years. I didn't choose it.
[Coffee cup]
I don't drink coffee. I do have a favourite glass; it's a nice big tumbler which curves outwards as it goes up, and is glass-painted blue at the bottom (in a glossy paint that doesn't scratch off like some blue glasses). I once had three, but I only have one left because I get through a fair quantity of glasses.
[Sunglasses]
Kind of maroon frames; cheap plastic, bought in Portugal (when we suddenly discovered that it was a good idea to have sunglasses when in such a very sunny country).
[Underwear]
Blue. Boring.
[Shoes]
My favourite - Battered Trainers, with laces tied around themselves a lot and never undone (because otherwise stupid people undo them all the time). Unfortunately the current generation of Battered Trainers are actually Reeboks, which is awful, but my parents forced me to buy them.
[Handbag]
Brown backpack thingamy. Has taken a lot more abuse than it should, although some of the pockets are unusable due to leading straight to the lining. Have had to fish batteries and tampons out of the lining of this bag many times. I suspect there may still be some floating around in there somewhere.
[Favorite pants]
Black cords. They're warm. The bright electric blue stretchy ones and the sequinny jeans are quite nice too.
[Cologne/Perfume]
I don't wear perfume. See above under 'can't be bothered'.
[CD in stereo right now]
I'm at *school*. Plus, I hardly ever actually touch CDs; I use MP3s instead. (Which reminds me; has anyone had any success ripping Turin Brakes' latest, Ether Song? It has some kind of stupid copy protection on it.)
[Tattoos]
I don't deliberatly do permanent things that I don't need to.
[Piercings]
None whatsoever. I have an irrational fear of putting holes in me where no holes should be, and anyway, I actually manage to get spots *in* those flappy bits of my ears, so any ear piercing (which is normally the first) would become infected in under ten nanoseconds.
[What you are wearing now]
Random purple/lilac/pink/ish t-shirt, stripy navy/sky blue rugby shirt with denim collar and cuffs, black cords, purple socks.
[Hair]
Long. Brown. Disorganised.
[Makeup]
See under Jewelry, 'can't be bothered'.
WHO or WHAT (was/is/are) -
[In my mouth]
Billions upon billions of stupid sore-throat virii.
[In my head]
It's looking pretty much like a blasted wasteland in here at the moment. I normally like blasted wastelands, but this one's just bleak and nonspecifically threatening.
[Wishing]
I don't appear to have the energy to summon up any wishings. Probably for Del to get better. What I mean by 'better' isn't quite clear.
[After this]
I die horribly because I didn't turn up to STEP class and haven't done my homework, for the same teacher. Oh yes.
[Talking to]
My LiveJournal. Duh.
[Eating:]
My brains. Slowly. Or is that 'eroding'?
[Fetishes]
I'd attempt a list, maybe, if I thought I had any once Del gets out of my head.
[If you could get away with it and murder anyone, who
and for what reason?]
Nobody. Because I couldn't get away with it; not from myself and not from God. And I don't think anybody particularly deserves to die, apart from perhaps some people who want to.
[Person you wish you could see right now]
Del.
[Is next to you]
Julia, Vikki and Laura. Doing each other's FriendTests. Occasionally I pretend they're my friends, but technically they're just people who I can actually exchange a few words with occasionally.
[Some of your favorite movies]
Tron. Pi. Dune. Nothing else really compares, although the sick bunny in me liked the titles of Die Another Day, and FotR was certainly pretty.
[Something you're looking forward to in the upcoming
months]
My exam results.
[Something that you are deathly afraid of?]
I think I want to repeat Del here, although this may just be because she happens to be me. (i.e. 'Being beaten around the head'; which contains elements of 'having permanent harm done to me' and 'losing my sight' and 'losing my intelligence' that are pretty bad). But I'm going to have to put 'Going to hell' here, because that's *the* worse thing.
[Do you like candles]
Yes. Candles hypnotise me. Especially ones you can hold.
[Do you like hot wax]
Yes. I can't help but play with it. I now have a white stain on my black cords which is candle wax from spilling half of a tealight mostly over my bag.
[Do you like incense]
I don't like anything that hangs in the air because of my 'bronchial hyperactivity' which means I get coughing fits from smoke-like stuff.
[Do you like the taste of blood]
I wouldn't say I *like* it, the way I like the taste of bad chocolate (the kind you get in pick-n-mix sweets from the cinema). I don't *mind* it, and it's somehow fascinating.
[Do you believe in love]
Yes. However, it appears to be something that happens to other people (not that people don't love me from time to time, it's just that I don't appear to be capable of what I see as love.)
[Do you believe in soul mates]
It depends what you mean by that. What I mean by that is probably summed up by the words 'Del, get out of my head!'. And hence yes.
[Do you believe in love at first sight]
I'm not sure I've had evidence of a case, but I certainly believe it's possible, for certain people.
[Do you believe in Heaven]
Yes.
[Do you believe in forgiveness]
Yes. (This one is very much a 'do you believe in tables' question. People do forgive people, so forgiveness obviously exists, in some way.)
[Do you believe in God]
Yes.
[Who is your worst enemy?]
Ooh, it's Trite Answers Season. Satan.
[If you could have any animal for a pet]
Some kind of big cat. Possibly a tiger, or a snow tiger. Even better, a tiger that I could actually ride like a pony.
[What is the latest you've ever stayed up]
I had about half an hour's sleep, after sunrise, at Sath's house (Naath was there too; they were both on Red Bull; we got a dodgy quotefile from it; I can't remember the day or occasion)
[Ever been to Belgium?]
Yes. We went to Brussles on the Eurostar. Midi did indeed look rather a dive.
[Can you eat with chopsticks]
No. Well, actually, I *have* eaten with chopsticks, in the time-honoured 'hold chopsticks one in each hand, impale as much food as possible, eat rest by putting face near food and shovelling hard' method. But not properly.
[What's your favorite coin?]
Pound coins. I have no idea why.
[What are 5 cities you wouldn't mind relocating to?]
Cambridge. York. Bath. Uhm... I don't know any other cities. Chelmsford's a city, I guess, but I'm already here, and I don't think I'd really want to actually live in Chelmsford. I don't like cities, on the whole. I've always maintained that you can live anywhere, in terms of material things, what makes or breaks a place is your neighbours. So cities have lots of neighbours, and hence are unpredictable as to habitableness.
