My own answers forilluins_lair are :
01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? No. Unless you account for the fact that I am channeling a certain blond elf in my bedtime fantasies - in which case I have a very serious, committed relationship with a certain darkly handsome ranger.;P
02) What was your dream growing up? To not have to grow up at all. (I swear, Marianne, I am not copying your answer - we really are that alike.:D)
03) What talent do you wish you had? Writing. I mean REAL writing - with original characters, plot, the works. I really wish I had that, and I don't.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be? Something sweet and fruity.
05) Favorite vegetable? Red onion, I think. Or garlic, since I toss incredible amounts of it into everything I cook.
06) What was the last book you read? Night's Sorceries by Tanith Lee. Gorgeous stuff. I am totally awed by what this woman does with language.
07) What zodiac sign are you? Pisces. With Virgo rising, and a Gemini moon. Can't you tell? :D
08) Any tattoos and/or piercings? Explain where. Naaah. I don't enjoy pain.:P
09) Worst habit? Staying up too late, and spending too much time glued to the computer. I keep trying to change that, but... um... you know. *shifty eyes*
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? Sure, doll. But I've got to warn you - my vehicle isn't particularly impressive. You might actually prefer to walk than be seen in such a rusty pile of old metal scraps.:D
11) What is your favorite sport? Sport? What's that? Oh, I like to watch figure skating sometimes. Or used to, when I still had access to a TV. Looong ago. *shrug*
12) Do you have a pessimistic or optimistic attitude? That depends on my mood.:P
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Talk about hot elves, 'power bottoms' and all that other fascinating stuff. You know what I mean.:D
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? Having to spend an entire week in the company of someone who had just dumped me AND someone I happened to be in love with - while they were having an innocent little fling with each other (more innocent, actually, than I thought at the time, but no one saw fit to inform me of that until much later). And feeling obliged to pretend (very poorly, I'm sure) that I was having a great time - for the sake of kind, clueless strangers whose hospitality we were all utilizing for the duration.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you. I don't own a TV set, and I am not planning on getting one anytime soon.
16) Do you have any pets? No. Unless you count the squirrel family that lives on my windowsill (long story, lol).
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly? There would be some high-pitched squeeing, I'm sure.;P
18) What was your first impression of me? A beautiful mind.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Neither. They are annoying.:P
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? Strangely enough, I think I would be perfectly happy if my looks simply went back to what they were 10-15 years ago. Except for the boobs - I'd keep those, since I didn't have any back then.:P
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? That would depend on the crime.;)
22) What eye colour do you have? Blue.
23) Ever been arrested? Nope.
24) Bottle or can soda? Neither. Water or tea, please.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Get a new car, before I have to spend another few hundred to fix the old one.:/
26) What's your favorite place to hang out? At home. Where else? *shrug*
27) Do you believe in ghosts? Depending on how you define them, I might.
28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Reading. Fiction, fanfiction, blogs, news, social commentary - anything that keeps the brainwheels turning. Reading is like breathing. I couldn't exist without it.
29) Do you swear a lot? No more than the average person, I suppose.
30) Biggest pet peeve? Commercials. Especially ones that flash or start talking to you with no warning. Like I said above, I don't have a TV - but even online commercials have become obnoxious lately, and it really gets on my nerves sometimes. *growls*
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself? Introspective.
32) Do you believe/appreciate romance? Absolutely.
33) Favorite and least favorite food? Favorite? Sushi, I think. Least favorite? I don't know. Possibly that staple of American 'cuisine', The Hamburger - I have never been able to see its appeal.:P
34) Do you believe in God? In a way, yes. Not necessarily under that particular name, though. In other words: in God, yes; in institutionalized religion - certainly not.

So do I. I just usually don't tell people that I'm stalking their LJs, for fear of creeping them out.:P In this case, however, you are heartily invited to continue.:D
your comments have pulled me up from bed more than once because they are of great amusement and joy to me
I am very happy to hear that. <33333
I doubt you´ll find the same depth over at my journal as in here - the way you write about things is far beyond my skills.
Really?... That's funny, because I was under the impression that most of my posts must seem rather shallow & boring to an outside observer and that YOUR journal had more depth to it (lots of amazing poetry, for one). It's all subjective, I suppose.;)
Oh god, I think I probably don´t even dare to watch the movie.
If you are feeling fragile and sensitive to upsetting topics, then I do think perhaps it's not the best idea to watch this movie now. It's really very, very dark and depressing. Besides, it will still be out there when you are ready to handle it. Same goes for the book, probably. Watching hot!Orli flicks is definitely better therapy for your current state of mind.:D

Date: 2010-04-03 01:19 am (UTC)35 times in a row damnit.. *blushes* It´s been entirely too long since I listened to his voice…….. *thud thud THUD* and I all the time get distracted by his hands.. Uhh.. the interview? *grins* - I lied!!! I´m sooo totally going to have to watch this movie because of the words he uses when he speaks about it. *replays the having-to-be-naked-from-the-inside part and “the frailty of everything, revealed at last” and ohmygod.. “what is that one little flower that grows in the desert? it´s simple, it´s kindness; that´s what carrying the fire means”**glues lips together to stop quoting an interview because that is entirely silly*
Meep!
Ok. That´s IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right, the movie scares me to hell no matter what so I might as well get it over with. I´ll be damned but I´ll read the damn book too.. *g*
Cos Viggo says so.. *nods*
And I adore you. As a matter of fact.

And I adore you. As a matter of fact.
Ha. I knew Viggo was going to do the job.:D *giggles madly*

You will not regret it, even if it makes you bawl your eyes out - like it did to someone I know.;)
