Survey!

Wallet: Black, fold-out type thingie. I want a new one, because this one's too small for my train card.

Hairbrush: Me? Surely you jest. A simple black comb is all I need. I can go without even that if need be.

Toothbrush: Purple.

Jewelry worn daily: Two pendants on silver chains: a crucifix and a celtic knot named 'taliesin'. Once it gets fixed, also my first tooth that fell out. There's a symbolism behind it, btw: faith, creativity and memories.

Socks: Sport socks, as any other kind just doesn't feel right. Black if there's clean ones, white if that's all I've left.

Pillow cover: Red pattern, same as my duvet.

Duvet: Double one, red.

Sunglasses: Mirror glasses with thin metal frames. I've had the same type since I was 10-ish. They're the only type that look good on me, and they're going out of style, unfortunately. :(

Underwear: Um. Either white/yellow cotton ones or one fo my green, satin-like semi-shorts.

Shoes: Doc Marten's, or Teva sandals.

Nail polish: Black or purple, with blue pinkies.

Handbag: Laque black one. But I rarely use it.

Keychain: Metallica, a gift from the bratling last Christmas.

Favourite top: Er. Right now, I rather like my jeans, semi-corsetty one. This is prone to change at any time, though.

Favourite pants trousers: Any of my jeans, or maybe my vynyl ones.

Soap: Something lemony for hand soap, and lemon and vanilla from the Body Shop for shower gel.

Perfume: Don't really wear it. Vanilla if I do.

CD in stereo right now: Um. I think one of the two Take That CD's unlit sent me. But jintro put it in there! So ha.

Car: Moi? You're joking, right?

Tattoos: Parental Warning label on my left upper arm. Next up: wolf paw print on left breast. Then taliesin on lower back, kitty skeleton on right leg right above knee, abstract owl somewhere, and some vague plans for back.

Piercings: Each ear once, and labret. Next up: row of rings in left ear. Then maybe navel.

Physical: I'm in shape.

Oh yeah.

I bought Q's special on REM this weekend. Um. Michael Stipe has tattoos? WTF?

Statements: the solution

1. When my brother and I were kids and we were on vacation, my parents would hang cards around our necks with our car's license plate and where it was parked, so that if we got lost, people knew where to bring us to.

This is true. It was rather necessary, as I, especially, had a habit of wanderig off by myself. Or so I'm told. Since I've almost no recollection of my first 7-8 years, I can't know for sure. I do remember the one time I got lost in Duinkerke, but that's a regained memory -- it came back to me in a dream when I was 12-ish.

2. My brother once peed on my head.

True. My brother was a little asshole sometimes.

3. Apart from when I was born, I've never been in a hospital.

Absolutely true. I'm a very healthy girl. I think the most ill I've been in my life was three or four days of the meazles. Oh, and one day of the flu. I, like my mother, don't like to give in to illness. I feel better when I'm working/at school than when i'm at home in my bed. I only stay home when i' have an actual fever, and sometimes not even then.

4. I ran away from home when I was 14, and spent three days in the UK.

True. Not the happiest time of my life, to say the least.

5. I once modelled for a painting.

True. I was 12. The painting eventually found its way back to us and is now hanging in my former room at my parents'. If and when I ever get it, I'm taking it. That and the Judas' Kiss of my grandma's are two of my favourite paintings. (I know I've a photo of my painting somewhere. I'll post if if-n-when I find it.)

6. The first stories I wrote were about twins called Jan and Cynthia.

True. Jan and Cynthia and fairy tales, those were the first things I wrote. Lord, I sucked. But these don't make me cringe as bad as some of my later work, which is odd.

7. I am descendant from a priest, and one of my aunts is married to an ex-priest.

True. Semi-famous-in-Belgium priest and writer Hugo Verriest was (according to family lore) one of my ancestors from mom's side of the family. Father Damien's sister is also supposed to be in there somewhere. My aunt married the pries who was provoost (I have no idea what the English equivalent of this would be) when she was a leader in the Chiro, a catholic youth organisation that most of my family was/is in.

8. I once wrote Biker Mice from Mars slash.

Sad, but true. My stories sucked, but it was a really nice fandom to be in. Quite close-knit, centred around one message board and site. Very in-joke-y. Don't know why I grew out of it the way I did. Maybe I was just too old. The average age was more around 15-16 than my then-19.

9. I had absolutely nothing to do with my youngest brother dressing in drag for a fancy dress party at his scool. Ditto for the Darth Maul costume the year after that.

Lie! The emphasis gave me away. Damnation. :) I'd just like to point out that I was only involved in the dressing up stage. He came up with the ideas himeself. So there.

10. I knew a teacher at my old school was gay, years before he came out. And no one else suspected this.

True! It seems my gaydar is rather accurate. Every person I've ever met IRL and suspected of being gay, has turned out to be. I'm going to hang on to the caveat of the IRL meeting, since otherwise the whole entertainment business would be gay.

Last night, somewhere around 2 AM, I came to the conclusion that Axl Rose would make a real pretty girl. I am insane.

(And again with the random, out-of-left-field tobacco craving!)

Well gee, Kris (_young_75), how very mature of you.

This thread on HPForGrownUps is starting to get on my nerve. It's entitled "Draco's redemption".

Now, I'm not fond of Just%isunderstood!Draco either. I agree that he's a jerk. But for fuck's sake, 'redemption'? As of now, Draco hasn't really done anything he should 'redeem' himself for. He's a bully, yeah, but speaking as an ex-bully-ee, That doesn't make him evil. Am I overreacting or something? I dunno, it just seriously pisses me off that they'rre judging someone by what he's like at 14. I'm weird. Ignore me.

But while I'm venting, I'd like to send a hearthy "Yeah, fuck you, too!" to the fraction on HP4GU that is of the opinion that the whole SexGod!Draco idea is to blame on fanfic and that no one writing fanfic can have a decent discussion about canon and it. pisses. me. off.
