It's 3am. I'm eating ice cream. Why not.

Stolen from everyone xx


1. How old will you be in 3 birthdays?

Ummm...45...I think. I lose track of how old I am terrifyingly easily.

2. Do you think you'll be married by then?

Haha, well I'd say it's unlikely but I would like to be married again under the right circumstances.



3. What do you look forward to most in the next 2 months?

The weather warming up. The end to this current crippling load of fan works. Getting back to painting. Finishing my BB : )

4. Do you prefer shoes, socks, or bare feet?

When I was a child my mom took me to the doctor because I wouldn't wear shoes, even outside. Bare foot is best but I do love heels : )

5. When was the last time you cried?

I actually haven't cried for a bit, which is unusual for me. I feel tearful a lot though.

6. What was the last thing you drank?

Squash.

7. Favorite ice cream?

Haagen Daaz praline and cream. Although this fudge stuff I'm eating right now isn't half bad. There's a proper Italian icecream place here that you have to queue for even in winter sometimes, and their hazelnut is pretty awesome. Also blueberry. Oooo, and their pistachio! Mmmmmmm.

8. What is your favorite number?

? Idk. The "80" on a cheque I just received for some drawings was pretty nice : )

9. What's your favorite color?

Color is actually perceived very differently by people based on their experiential background and underlying personality.

It depends on what it's for : )


10. What Jelly do you put on your PB&J?

Strawberry. But the smooth kind. Pips are okay but not chunks of fruit.


11. What location(s) is/are on your bucket travel list?

Everywhere an flisty is : ) I want to go to that place in Alaska to see the polar bears play with the huskies. That place where the migrating butterflies stop over. Machu Picchu. Kyoto. Ummm...everywhere.


12. How many glasses of water a day do you drink on average?

Yes.

13. What do you drink in the morning?

Squash, then black coffee, then tea.

14. Would you rather kiss someone with or without tongue?

Without to start and let's see how it goes from there.

15. Do you sleep on a certain side of the bed?

Diagonally. I prefer to be by the wall (right) but so does Lily (I'm not indulging her, it a behaviour/dominance thing and makes her less anxious), so my head is by the wall in some weird compromise.

16. Do you know how to play poker?

Theoretically. I know the mechanics of it but gambling is something I cannot comprehend. I think because it relies on interpreting people's behaviour so that's just out for me. Also knowing how that intermittent reward thing works on your brain (the reason why it's so addictive) I'd be getting my knees broken by a loan shark in no time if I started to like it.

17. What's so good about Fridays?

Pizza. And dragons : )

18. Any plans for this weekend?

Gonna work on my Marvel Harlequin tomorrow I think. And then Sunday, I'm going to snuggle in bed with snacks and reread Kindred Spirits. I know I only just finished it but I want to read it again when I'm not so sleepy : ) it's so goooood!

19. Do you eat out or at home more often?

Do you eat out? Really? On this journal? Given half a chance : )
I cook at home everyday but I try to go out to eat whenever I can afford it. There are endless restaurants in Brighton and loads of them are dog freindly. Also I'm very comfortable going out to eat on my own. I know some people find that weird but I...don't : )

20. How big is your TV?

I don't have a TV

21. Ever stolen a street sign?

Nope, but my son more than made up for it.

22. Do you keep a piggy bank?

I have a piggy bank but I don't put coins in it. Large change goes to the "laundrette money" pile and shrapnel goes in a change purse.

23. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?

Nooooooooo.

24. Have you ever been in an ambulance?

Um...I don't think so. Hospital plenty of times but never ambulance.

25. Do you prefer an ocean or a pool?

To live by, look at and experience, Ocean x1000 but to swim...pool. Always pool.

26. Do you prefer a window seat or an aisle seat?

Who in the hell prefers an aisle seat? Window!

27. Do you know how to drive a stick shift?

Here, it's really unusual to have an automatic, although is becoming less so. So yes, I can drive stick. However...I don't have a license so I shouldn't

28. What is your favorite thing to spend money on?

Art stuff and stationery. I'm a junkie.

29. Do you wear any jewelry 24/7?

Yup! Dean's ring on my right hand, and a silver and pearl ring on my left

30. Do you speak any other language?

Un peu de français.

31. Can you roll your tongue?

Yes.

32. Last person you lay in bed with?

Lily.

33. Do you sleep with stuffed animals?

No. I have a real animal.

34. Do you still have clothes from when you were little?

Um...I have a scarf my mom knitted when I was seven.

35. What is the color of your bedroom wall?

I don't have a bedroom, just room. It's magnolia *gags*

36. Do you shut off the water when you brush your teeth?

Have you not seen Sesame Street!! I couldn't imagine leaving it on.

37. Do you currently hate someone?

Yes.

38. Do you currently have a crush on someone?

Not in RL...which is horribly sad, come to think of it. It's no secret that Hoechlin is rocking my world right now (Jesus fuck, that smile!) but Jensen. Always Jensen : )

39. What are you listening to?

Lily snoring.

I actually had to do the math to check my age :-D

What is squash?

Yes!!! I totally would do a road trip (including global, since I'll win the lottery to do this) and visit all my LJ friends!!!

I find it bizarre that I don't know how old I am but then I guess in the scheme of things it's the kinda thing that really only matters to other people. It's not like we have any choice in it or control. It has no practical use. Idk

Squash...not the vegetable, in case you were worried : )... idk what you guys call it. It's like a cordial I guess, fruit based thing that you add to water to make it less icky. Robinsons is the big name brand.

Wouldn't it be cool! Yay for the lottery! : ) x

okay, but now I'm just picturing you roasting and pureeing a squash, and drinking it, and that sounds awful

...what in god's name do you mean by drinking SQUASH??


awww. I am also listening to dog snoring.

also, shouldn't you be asleep??

Haha, I don't know what you guys call it! Fruit stuff you put in water so it tastes of something. What is that?

Yeah, I should. I fell asleep at 8 on the sofa and I'm back to the sleeping for five hours thing again so...I'm gonna try and grab a couple more now. I'm starting to feel sleepy finally : ) x

pffft. We don't do that here :P

In france it was called 'compote' but nope. Don't drink that here. Besides like some lemon if you go out.

Oh I think it would help. I'm always surprised at the huge reliance on soda, or so it seems, in the US. This is kinda like a halfway point. Like having a coke to me is like having a pudding, so much sugar and with the cloying and sticky. Blech. And juice too. It's like a meal but squash is just a flavoured water, easier on the teeth, hardly any calories but a bit tasty : ) Really it's a kids drink. But yeah, l do use lemon juice in water too.

I'm gooooing!...probably...in a minute : ) xx

Ice-cream at three a.m. . . . sounds good to me!

Pizza. And dragons : )

Dragons?? Surely you don't think I'm going to let THAT slide without demanding an explanation?

It was good : )

Haha, I shall just direct you to the comments on this post : ) - http://alexisjane.livejournal.com/168696.html - don't worry! I didn't draw dragons without you...I fell asleep instead : ) xx

Omg, are you me? My mom didn't took me to a doctor, but it drove her nuts that I would be walking in the streets without shoes. And she laughs now because that I drive without shoes on Summer time.

BAREFOOT POWER FTW.

Haha, yup, barefoot ftw! \0/

I'm less fond of the red hot asphalt walking in the summer than I used to be but I can still manage gravel like a pro : ) xx

Would you actually believe whilst replying to this comment, I'm listening to Caro emerald's That Man, "I'm gonna find that man, ohh that man is on my list!" lol! xx

Pistachio ice cream is the best thing ever! And any Haagen Daaz is good too! The comments about drinking 'squash' have cracked me up by the way!

Date: 2015-02-02 06:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alexisjane.livejournal.com
When it's done right pistachio is just the greatest! When you come down we'll have to go for some : )

IKR! How can they live without squash? x

It has to have chunks of nut in to be right! The first time I ever had it was in Majorca many years ago and it started my addiction to pistachio nuts and pistachio ice cream! I look forward to having some in Brighton :)

Loving this meme. :)

I immediately thought of lemon squash pop that they have in Australia when you mention squash. But when you describe it more, I remember making that stuff while visiting my grandparents in Australia. There were a pile of flavours and you mixed with water. I'm trying to remember if they just called it cordial or what.

Ribena is about the only kind you can get here in Canada.

From: [identity profile] alexisjane.livejournal.com
Yes! Ribena is the blackcurrant version! But yeah, they're all like that. Orange squash is the most popular but my mom used to give that to me when I was ill so it just reminds me of vomit now, so I tend to go with the summer fruits or lemon...or apple is pretty good. I always think of cordial as being a bit more proper and thicker x
