Bb you missed out 6, LOL!

Let's see if I can figure out how to wine and dine you when I come visit *grins*

18, 24 and 40 just for shits and giggles cos I kinda already know the answer to that one :D xx

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

I copy&pasted! not my fault! I fixed it...sort of : )

18 - fact about my personality
Um...I'm a bit Asperger's-y. So I'm really quiet most of the time but then when I like something I get really over-excited about it : ) which is kinda embarrassing for me and scary for people that don't really know me : )

24 - perfect date
Oh god...I don't know. Probably something mundane like a nice walk somewhere pretty with hand holding and lots of laughing, with food somewhere along the way (I'm a sucker for a pub lunch) and then snuggling (...and by snuggling I mean about 4 or 5 hours of sex...probably 5 :)

40 - sexiest person
Seriously : ) Right now, Derek Hale...although I think I like the Sterek paring more than him individually. But usually Jensen..coz Jensen : )

Not sure how this is going to help with my visit plans : / i won't be expecting 5 hours of sex, just in case you were wondering : ) x

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

LOL! thank god for that, I'm not as young as I used to be! I was aiming for the info like pub lunch etc etc not the 5 hours of sex *snorts*

I dunno, I think we're all a little scary quiet to scary loud and exciutable, I wouldn't worry about it, it's part and parcel of fandom-life and fangirl tendencies ;)

Really? Derek Hale...Wow, Stir will be impressed :D

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, chicken in a basket and I'll be fine : )

Fandom defnitely agrees with me : )

I was so mad the first time I saw TeenWolf. Nine years of watching SPN and not one sexy dream. One episode of TW and BAM! I dream about him all the time! Goddamn Dean is such a holdout! : ) x

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

You know we've all turned into Victorian women, right...The only fandom on the planet where the ladies all go crazy over a flash of single layered perky nipples. everyone else gets sexy dreams, nekkid vampires, it;s just so frustrating *snortS* X

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

IKR!! Oh god the one layer!!! It's just torture! : ) xx

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

If only they had invented interactive tv already, "Click the red dot to remove the layer!" x

[golden-cyborg.livejournal.com]

25, 34

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

: )

25 - biggest pet peeves
people who are rude and intolerant, who use insulting or disparaging language towards other people.
People who try to touch my dog without asking (fucking idiots).
Car drivers that stop to let me cross the road when it's clearly disrupting the traffic and I have to run across the street, so it's unsafe for everyone (i know they're just trying to be nice but really I'd rather wait the 30seconds til they pass so I can walk across in safety!)
I could go on and on with this one : )

34 - where would I like to live
Somewhere warm and dry. Somewhere with lots of trees, near a body of water. Somewhere that's not too isolated but still quiet.
If anyone knows where this is, please let me know!! : )

[golden-cyborg.livejournal.com]

'cause she's your baby! I know mom's and owner who are the same. God, yes, people, being in public is not invitation to touch.

That sounds like the perfect place. Gorgeous and peaceful. I'll make sure to keep an eye out. ;)

[wings128.livejournal.com]

20 and 35 :)

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

20 - what I love most about myself
Um...*shrugs* I have no idea...my hair is so blonde nobody believes that I don't dye it?...yeah that's all I got : )

35 - One of my insecurities
Just one? : ) ...I always think I'm going to be found out...even when I haven't done anything so I live in a constant state of guilt about things I haven't even done! Which is annoying : ) And I'm not even Catholic! x

[wings128.livejournal.com]

Well what I love about you is, your fucking amazing artistic talent, your devotion to your friends, your wickedly warped sense of humour. ♥ *squishes*

Hell, *grins* that must be mentally draining, not to mention utterly exhausting.

xx

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

*squishes you back*

A bit : ) My friend calls her internal voice "The Inner Nazi" I think mines a bit more of "The Inner Stasi" : )
I swear the main reason I started smoking as a teenager was that I was so sick of my parents accusing me all the time and punishing me for smoking when I wasn't, I figured I may as well start so at least I got something out of it : ) Come to think of it...maybe I just should behave a bit more badly...I might have a more fun! : ) xx

[majestic-duxk.livejournal.com]

21, 37

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

: )

21 - what do I want to be when I get older
I love this question : ) Fit and healthy, I think. I'm getting to that stage where if I don't look after myself I'm gonna fall and break a hip : )
Other than that...successful novelist wouldn't hurt : )

37 - favourite ice cream
My go-to is Pralines and Cream haagen daaz but theres a fab Italian icecream place near us where I happy to go with hazelnut, pistachio, strawberry, toffee...you name it : )

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

1, 29 and 31.

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

1 - Virgin
Haha...hahahahaha...HAHAHAHAHA!! Um...maybe : )

29 - last text message

Oh, I think it was something like "Yes, but don't think I'm watching the cockapoo for you." Make of that what you will : )

31 - words that make me feel best about myself
Um...I think the best words are when people say nice things about my fic or art. I know one of the nicest things ever was when a couple of people said they read my BB in one sitting coz they couldn't put it down. That was amazing and really made me feel like I'd done a good job : )

xxx

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

I had to ask for number 1, nobody ever does, lol! ;)

[deansdirtybb.livejournal.com]

0, 12 & 13 :)

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

0 - I'm 5'7''...in the mornings : )

12 - smell, big hands, kindness, big hands, scruff, big...everything, deep voice, feeling safe, someone being very tactile, kindness, confidence, paying attention, having a balance between soft and strong...

13 - smelliness, poor dental hygiene, being pushy, being judgemental, being patronising, insecurity, ignorance, not listening...

♥ xx

[alycat.livejournal.com]

I wanna know #15 :D

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

15 - i'll love you if...

: ) ...you're kind and sweet, if you feed me, if you rub my back (I'm such a sucker for a massage : ), if you love my dog, if you put your hand on the small of my back, if we can be silly together, if you make me laugh, if you're genuine, if you're straightforward (I can only do subtext in fiction), if you let me be myself...stuff like that : ) xx

[alycat.livejournal.com]

Real life subtext sucks for sure :P

I'm weird, the part I miss most about being in a relationship is (apart from sex) having someone to cook for :P

27, 28, 30
xoxo

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

27 - reason I lied to a friend
I'm terrible at saying "I'm fine" when really I'm pissed off at something but I don'rt want them to make a fuss : )

28 - what I hate most about work
Well, I work for myself so that's not so bad...I'd say the paperwork. Anything official is just so daunting. I hate it!

30 - words that upset me the most
I think when people tell me that I'm wrong when I know something is true, that drives me nuts. Like I had someone insisting that I dye my hair, when I don't! I never have but they just kept telling me "No, you do." Like, what?! I hate that. Also, I can't stand intolerance, I just hate it when people critisize strangers for no good reason.

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

26 and 33 ♥♥

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

Hahaha ♥

26 - description of a girl/boy I like
In RL? I don't like anyone right now...not like that anyway. Fictionally...a certain mob-boss kinda floats my boat : )

33 - what I find attractive in men
Tall, larger build not skinny, confident, nice smile, nice voice, kindness, tolerance of my weirdness : ) ...I don't know. I read this thing a while back that said something like, "it's not what you look like, it's how you make me feel", which I think is very true for me. I don't think I have a type but I get very attracted to the feeling I get from someone.

Unfortunately I found out later that that's a Taylor Swift quote, which is embarrassing...even though she's right : ) xx

[yonkyu.livejournal.com]

14 & 16

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

14 - favorite movie
Oh man...that's toughy...so many. Star Wars definitely but then Manhunter...My Neighbor Totoro...The Host...Batman Begins...All the Marvel films...Little Shop of Horrors...all of them! All the films! : )

16 - someone I miss
I don't know...I don't really do that. Um...my Nan, I think. She was quiet like me and I think sometimes she was the only one in my family that really saw me and understood who I am, and she was always there for me in the way I needed. She always listened and gave me good advice. I miss that. She was the only one who told me things were going to be okay...and I could believe her. Also she always let me eat jelly for dinner if I wanted : ) x

[yonkyu.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing. I love many of those movies as well!!!

Your Nana reminds me of my grandfather who passed away in 2008. I miss him like crazy, he was my best friend.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

32 and 39...good idea to do strike-outs!

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

I get confused otherwise! : )

32 - things I find attractive in women
Um...the same things I find with a guy, I guess, it's about how they make me feel. I find women more confusing than men, I think because I feel like I should have more in common with them...but I don't, which just makes things awkward, so i think I value straightforwardness even more.
Also boobs. I'm sorry but I do love boobs. They're just really nice. *sighs* Boobs : )

39 - what did I last eat
I just ate some pasta with chili pesto and chicken...and there's a Snickers with my name on that's winking at me from the table if you're curious as to what I'm going to eat next : )

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

BOOBS. I got a little shorted in that department, but yes, they are nice. :)

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

Oh they don't have to be big, just...I'm making a hand gesture that i can't really describe but y'know just *boob-hands* like that : )

Boobs : ) x

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

What is it they say, more than a mouthful is a waste? :D

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

I think it's "handful" but I thoroughly approved of your thinking ; )

lmao ♥ xx

[septembers-coda.livejournal.com]

The answers are so fun. I learned some things, like: we're the same height, and REALLY? People insist your hair is dyed when you tell them it isn't? It's kinda rude to ask anyway, but PEOPLE, SHUT UP. Related: when I was thinner and younger (so they were, er, more upright and my bustiness more apparent) people constantly asked if my boobs were real. (They are).

I want ot know 5 and, if it doesn't hurt to recall, 17. (I feel bad asking, but this stuff really interests me.)

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

Oh I wish I had your boob issue. When I was younger and thinneer, I couldn't even buy a bra coz they were so nonexistant, and now I'm older and fatter, as soon as I lose weight they're the first things to go, which just makes the rest of me look fatter too! Stupid boobs.

5 - Tattoos
I have five on my back down my spine, various symbols and an original design that has elements that my son also has in one of his. We got them when he was exactly half my age : ) I also have a very realistic one of japonica that runs on the outside of my arm from my right wrist to my shoulder which is kinda pretty. I have a version of the antipossession symbol on my sternum and the one in my icon on my left ribs....and I have sooo many more in mind : ) The guy that does them is amazing, such a good artist and so so sweet too - http://www.gildedcagetattoostudio.com/james/

17 - I don't mind you asking, Hun but, yeah...it is actually really profoundly traumatic and being there are other people involved I can't ever really talk about. This can't be unseen so if you'd rather not read, don't press it

There are lots of things that happen, I think, that you can get over but this is something that you never do. You just learn to live with it and wish more than anything you could go back and do something, anything, to prevent it from happening. I'm not a violent person but knowing what I do now, I would happily slit a certain someones throat and know that I was totally justified in doing it. It's that bad.</lj-spoiler>

[septembers-coda.livejournal.com]

Re: boobs. (hee hee; how fun is it to get to type that??) I think everyone wants what they don't have! It's always been hard for me to buy bras; at my size the cheap ones don't cut it, and really sexy ones are either ridiculously uncomfortable or just unavailable in my size. I can't go without one, which I might like to sometimes. And I envy the little, perfectly-shaped, perky ones. So there ya go. :-)

I *knew* the tattoo question would be interesting! Wish I could see yours; I'm sure they're lovely. That guy's tattoos DO look awesome.

Ah, bb, sorry to remind you of trauma. <3 If it doesn't go without saying, of course I won't pry further and you did not shock me at all. There was a time in my life where there was a person I seriously, logically and coolly considered murdering. I really felt the world would be a better place, and the main thing that stopped me was knowing I would get caught. If I believed beyond a doubt that I wouldn't... well. I'm glad that didn't happen.

I had a traumatic childhood, and I generally find I am most attracted-- friendship-wise, even conversation-wise-- to other people who did. I don't like to think of bad things happening to people I care about, but I sort of think we survivors of such horrors have been forged in the fire, and are deeper for it. Of course, there are, as you say, those wounds that never really heal. I send lots of love to yours. <3 <3

[fufaraw]

36 and 38?

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

36 - childhood career choice
I wanted to be David Attenborough so I went round telling everyone I wanted to be a Naturist...which got some raised eyebrows : ) the conversation explaining the difference between naturist and Naturalist was kinda interesting, even for a six year old : )

38 - where I want to be right now
Well, apart from the obvious, naked between J1 and J2...I guess, somewhere warm near the beach, where I can sleep with the windows open and hear the surf, knowing I can get up in the morning and swim in the pool and sit in the sun and write all day...*sighs*...yeah, that : ) x

[fufaraw]

ooh, sounds ideal. I can't think of one thing wrong with that scenario!

[saltandburnboys.livejournal.com]

Number eight please?

xx

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

8 - piercings
I have one in my left ear. In the right I have two lobe, one at the top and my tragus pierced. I also have one in my belly button.
But.
They've pretty much all closed up as I haven't worn jewerly in them for years now : ( xx

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Okay, tell me about your best friend, no. 10!

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

10 - Best friend
I think my best friend is my ex. We met at university and started dating/living together the end of our second year. We were together eight years. We made a promise to each other that when it was over between us, we wouldn't let it get nasty, so when we broke up, we had a nice lunch and went shopping afterwards. He's basically my family. I love him just as much now as I did in the beginning...but it's totally platonic. He's with the loveliest girl now that I could ever wish for and even though they've just had a baby together he still makes time to take walks with me and we talk on the phone a couple of times a week. He knows all my weirdness and still loves me anyway. I don't think I've ever known a better person. I'm so lucky to have him in my life : ) xx
