2. Age:
27
3. Single or Taken:
Ambiguous?
4. Favorite Movie:
Oh gods... decisions... favourite movie this year: Speed Racer, favourite movie last year, Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Of all time? Depends on the day/week/month/hour/moon phase (otherwise known as who the hell knows?)
5. Favorite Song or Album:
Depends on the day/week/month/hour/moon phase. Currently one of my favourite songs is by Joshua Kadison and is called "Beautiful in My Eyes" but it's a tidal favourite (will ebb and flow). A constant is 'You can still be free' by Savage Garden and more recently 'Who would have thought?' by Darren Hayes. I hate decisions like these, I hate choosing!
6. Favorite Band/Artist:
Darren Hayes, followed by Roxette and several others.
7. Dirty or Clean:
Circumstance dependant ;)
8. Tattoos and/or Piercings:
Ears pierced, but nothing more interesting...yet.
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ?
heh. yes, put simply.

To love, be loved and show all the myriad possibilities contained within. To reach for the stars, cradle them and create some new ones.
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty?
It's full!!!! Of bubbles, and air and atoms and molecules and sparkly wibbly wobbly stuff!!!!!!! - Brimful and overflowing baby :)

I wouldn't tell someone else's secret. If it was my secret I'd be hard pressed not to tell you.
13. What is your favorite memory of us?
There are so many... lol.... most recently, kitchen floor at after midnight o'clock, drinking and talking and being silly, prontastic conversations and other gossipy things.
14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
Skin to skin sensuality with someone I adore, or am crushing on just to appreciate and desire, be appreciated and be desired.
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you:
Let me try for something that you may not know... this will be hard. Um. Oh hell it's not going to happen. Let's go with, the fact that I fall in love with someone every day, usually not the same person, and sometimes it's multiple people. This is part of what makes the day go around for me :) Oooh I thought of something that you probably didn't know!!! I wanted to be an astronomist once upon a time.
(and the second half...yes i broke the word limit...)

2. instantaneous transporter, of the kind where i can choose wherever the hell i want to transport to.
3. the ability to shift/warp reality just enough that i could go on dates with fictional or historical characters... (maybe what I really want to say is I want to be a Time Lord...)
17. Can we get together and make a cake?
Hell yes - I love your oven (and your kitchen and and and and and...)
18. Which country is your spiritual home?
Currently Australia. Perth in particular holds my heart, though Melbourne is incredible as well and I feel it will take on similar status.
19. What is your big weakness?
I'm better at listening than I was but sometimes I still need to shut the hell up and not say a word. I'm still too nice and willing to put myself out, but I'm also much better at saying no. I still babble, but I am much more able to be succinct when I desire it.
20. Do you think I'm a good person?
One of the best and most inspirational. In my view, sometimes the sun rises and or sets in your wake.

Surprisingly enough drama given I was terrified and persecuted and introverted and barely functioning as a human.
22. Describe your accent:
Articulate, but cute and babbly.
23. If you could change anything about me, would you?
No, I love that we as people, are ourselves quirks and annoying traits and all.
24. What do you wear to sleep?
Usually nothing, sometimes a shirt in Winter, if I'm in a group where being naked isn't an option I'll go as close to form fitting for comfort as I can.
25. Trousers or skirts?
Both.
26. Cigarettes or alcohol?
Alcohol. MMmmmMmmMmm Parfait Amour.
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together?

28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?
Possibly? If I remember to post it. If you prod me.

17. Can we get together and make a cake? Sure. I always enjoy your cooking posts. And I love cooking - just don't get to do it nearly as much as I would like.

27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? As much as I would feel privileged that you would spend your last day with me, I think there are many more people much closer to you who would feel the need to spend it with you. But if it was me, chatting and cooking.
