Mostly because I haven't posted in awhile. I've been a little out-of-fandom lately--getting cranky with the animated series, which is probably unfair to it. I'm hardly the target demographic! Anyway, not got much to report, so I present to you the longest meme in the world!

Been in a fist fight?: Not really. I had a full on catfight with another girl when I was 11.
Fallen for your bestfriend?: Well, technically he became my best friend when I fell for him? And he was my housemate, so that's a bit of a no-no right there. Good thing it worked out.
Been in love?: Last I checked. :)
Cheated on someone?: No.
Burned yourself?: Yes, several minor ones. The most memorable time was a chemistry lesson which gave me the imprint of a nail (the metal kind) on my thumb for a week.
Caught something on fire?: I remember we set fire to the grass in the field where we were camping in Girl Guides once. Fortunately, like good little guides, we had our fire bucket to hand, so it didn't end in tragedy.

Sang in the shower?: Yes.
Have a little black dress?: No. I prefer long dresses. And red.
Had a dream that you married someone?: Yes. In the dream, it was my wedding day and I was panicking because I couldn't remember who I was marrying.

What's the last thing you bought from a Pharmacy?: Contraceptive pills.
Have you ever been in a wreck?: Yes, but everybody walked away from it.
When do you usually go to bed?: Shortly after 10.
What's the worst thing you ever did?: I'm hesitant to name a 'worst' but I feel particularly uncomfortable over bullying a girl until she left the school when I was seven. At the time, I didn't understand that bullying was mental as well as physical, and I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. In my view, she was a bad person, so I shouldn't be nice to her. This is probably why I'm not a big fan of cartoon-style villains.
Do you attend church?: No.
How many friends do you have?: Lots, but few who live close to me.
What's your greatest acomplishment?: Probably getting a job and moving into my first place as soon as I left university. I made a lot of mistakes, but I'd been scared of going out on my own since the age of about 13 when I realised it was inevitable. Discovering I could do it was amazing.

Most painful experience?: None that I care to think about.
Most happy experience?: I don't know... it's hard to pin down just one thing. I think the first kiss my husband gave me on our second attempt at a relationship was a good one. We'd been pretending we were purely platonic for weeks, and then he kissed me without thinking one night.
Have you ever been stalked?: Don't think so.
Have you ever egged a house?: No.
Do you go hunting (deer, duck, etc.)?: No. I don't even like fishing. I'm squeamish about death.

Whatcha wearing?: Jeans and a short sleeved top.
When's the last time you talked to anyone?: About two minutes ago to my husband.
Do you 'fall in love' easily?: No.
What's your best physical feature?: My hair.
What's your worst physical feature?: My body hair. ;)

Ever drove while drunk?: I can't drive while sober.
Do you drink alot or rarely?: Rarely.
How many people do you trust with your life?: Well, I doubt that's ever going to be something I have a choice in, but I think most people I know would try and keep me from dying.

Are you considered a nerd?: Probably.
Do you talk on the phone alot?: See the previous phone question.
How often do you take a shower?: Every other day unless there's a particular need for it. Yeah, I know that's hideously dirty by modern standards, but I really don't see that it's necessary.
