1. Yes. Very well, in fact, and I tend to do recipe experiments that result in some really awesome food (I invented a meat marinade made out of Chardonnay, salt, pepper, lemon garlic herb seasoning and pomegranate juice that turned out divinely). Except I hate to. I really hate to cook.

2. I wanted to be famous. For what changed several times. ;-)

3. I really, really wish I could draw.

4. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

5. Brocoli.

6. "The Commitment: Love, Marriage, Sex and My Family" by Dan Savage. So funny!

7. Taurus.

8. Just my ears. I want a tattoo, but I will never be getting anything pierced. I hate needles and I think most piercings are tacky.

9. Procrastinating.

10. Um...we've exchanged addresses. Does that count? ;-) No, we don't.

11. Ice hockey.

12. It varies, really, just like everything else.

13. Sing Sex Pistols songs and play air guitar.

14. Ohhhh, that's way too long of a story. Some other time, though.

15. The reason I smoke is because I morbidly like the idea that I know how I'm most likely going to die.

16. Not anymore, but I used to raise ferrets and have a cat.

17. Yep. I was twelve or so at the height of its popularity; of course I can. ;-)

18. 11:07 P.M.

19. I've never thought clowns were cute, but they don't really scare me. I do wonder where the hell we got the idea for them, though.

20. I'd fix my teeth. I've needed braces for about thirteen years and have never been able to afford them.

21. Depends what you're doing. ;-)

22. Green with hazel flecks.

23. Yes. I'm not proud of it and the story is by no stretch of the imagination a funny one of errant youth. It has greatly to do with several people I loved and trusted abandoning me at once.

24. Neither. I don't drink beer. I think all beer (not just American) tastes like goat piss.

25. Buy a new car, pay up my rent for the rest of the year, then start traveling like mad. I've always wanted to see continents other than my own.

26. I don't.

27. I've never been to a bar before.

28. Yes.

29. LiveJournal. ;-)

30. Yeah. :-/

31. Bands using PIECES of music from songs I like, so that when I hear the song coming on, I think it's one I'm gonna enjoy and very suddenly, it's not. (There's a rap song that uses the same opening bars as Linkin Park's "Numb." Then uses them again and again.)

32. Uninhibited.

33. Fun.

34. Sure. :-D

I'm late but not too late I hope! :-)

1. Can you cook?
I've recently begun to learn cooking and I'm not as bad as I expected.

2. What was your dream growing up?
I wanted to become a writer, and own a big villa with an own library. It's still kind of my dream.

3. What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could tell stories well. Not write, but actually tell them in a crowd of people. You know how people make you laugh with funny anecdotes? I can't do that, I always fail.

4. Favourite place?
St. Stephen's Green in Dublin and home.

5. Favourite vegetable?
I still wonder whether strawberries are vegetables... well, I love potatoes in any case, and peas.

6. What was the last book you read?
"Daddy Long-Legs" by Jean Webster. Currently I'm reading "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer.

7. What zodiac sign are you?
Libra

8. Any tattoos and/or piercings?
Neither, not even my ears

9. Worst habit?
I'm lazy by nature. Like John Sheppard. I also bite my nails.

10. Do we know each other outside of LiveJournal?
Sadly no :-(

11. What is your favourite sport?
Swimming

12. Do you have a negative or optimistic attitude?
Depends. I always expect the worst to happen but once something has happened I shrug and try to see the positive side :-)

13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Get to know you better, and prod you to sing with me :-)

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
I'm not sure. Even the stuff with my Mom caused some good things to happen.

15. Tell me one weird fact about you.
I'm a girl but I definitely prefer Sci-Fi over plain Fantasy :-)

16. Do you have any pets?
Not anymore.

17. Do you know how to do the Macarena?
Yes.

18. What time is it where you are now?
8:32AM

19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Scary, definitely scary.

20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
Lose weight.

21. Would you be my partner in crime or my conscience?
I'm terribly boring. I'd be the little angel on your shoulder saying "Don't!" - unless I have one of my moments :-)

22. What colour eyes do you have?
Bluegrey.

23. Ever been arrested?
No

24. Bottle or draft?
Not a huge fan of beer, but I prefer bottles.

25. If you won £10,000 today [$20,000 for the Americans], what would you do with it?
Buy a new camera, visit Canada and New Zealand, save the rest.

26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew?
Strawberry and cherry.

27. What's your favourite bar to hang at?
There's an Irish Pub downtown I like.

28. Do you believe in ghosts?
Hehe. My head says "No" but I can't help being afraid of them :-)

29. Favourite thing to do in your spare time?
Write, read, sing and hang out with friends. I also like to draw and paint, or take photos....I have too many hobbies :-)

30. Do you swear a lot?
I'm not sure whether I swear a lot but more than some.

31. Biggest pet peeve?
Slow drivers on a Monday morning. Uh. UH.

32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
dorky

33. In one word, how would you describe me?
sparkly (no, seriously. It's the first word that came to my mind and it refuses to go away :-))
