10. My favourite animal

Echidnas. They're such cute little spiky bundles, especially when they shuffle along. They're also quite short sighted, so as long as you're down-wind, you can get quite close to them, even pat them (carefully!). Also, they eat ants, which are among my least favourite critters.

32. My biggest pet peeves.

Rudeness, be it to me, my friends or to service staff. Everyone deserves the simple respect of politeness and I don't care what the attitude is, being polite to people is not weak. People running into me on the street, in the subway, at the supermarket... it gets old fast. People who get on the subway or off an escalator and just stop dead.

07. My favorite book.

Hmm, tricky, since I do tend to change around... my current 'book I'll re-read a hundred times' is World War Z by Max Brooks. It's not even the zombies - I just love the worldbuilding in that and the myriad voices he's developed. Unusual story telling techniques are always a good thing for me.


26. What I'm doing tomorrow.

I got this last night, but I'll do it for tomorrow, being Thursday. Tomorrow, I'm attending the REACH conference all day, which is basically one of those 'for your career building' types of courses. It means getting out of the office and getting free food, so I'm good to go.

Your icon is hypnotic with the cute, by the way.

20. The one place I wish I was right now.

Right now? Far, far away from work, work email and work phones. And work people. ;) Probably on a beach somewhere warm. Let's go with a small Pacific island for a couple of weeks until my urge to kill subsides.

39. The nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

This is going to sound lame to the person who said it, but... "I won't abandon you. And not just because you pay the rent and do the dishes."

08. Biggest turn-offs.

Poor personal hygiene. I'm not fond of stinky B.O. and bad teeth. Rudeness. Contempt to others.

30. What I would do if I won the lottery.

Buy the Yellow Griffin pub from Maria and have Dex manage it for me while I got to be the host-type person. If it was a really big lottery, I'd also pay for a big party of my family and friends in Hawaii, all expenses paid.

01. My sexual orientation.

Bi, although I've been essentially Uninterested for the past few years.

40. Whether I like where I live now.

I really do. I feel at home here in a way I don't very often, and I enjoy the life I have here. I miss my Aussie peeps and family, though, so they obviously need to build that damn teleporter faster.

47. Why I've never tried unicycling in the rain...

[deathpixie]

The monkeys keep laughing at me too much when I try.

And here I thought you'd just make a rule against making up new numbers... Silly me.

05. A description of my self-esteem.

A work in progress. *grins* It's much better than it was even three years ago and while I still have trouble sometimes believing I'm worth anything, those times are rarer and less encompassing than they used to be.

14. My greatest achievements.

Argh. Um, going to Japan as an exchange student at 16. The B+ I got for my Honours thesis after effectively re-writing the thing in two weeks. The X-Project Wiki, which is lame, I know, but it was a lot of work and I'm proud of it. Getting to Canada and making a life for myself here. Biting the bullet and finally getting the treatment and therapy I needed for my depression and finally starting to be at a point I can like myself again.

[missbossyboots.livejournal.com]

If you hadn't said the wiki, I would have said it for you. :) I remain, as always, it's biggest fan.

[deathpixie]

Aw. :) Thank you. I know I can be a tad obsessive about it, but it never fails to make me smile when someone says how helpful it was.

[missbossyboots.livejournal.com]

You are talking to the girl who is working on making sure all the images are a uniform size, so I understand being obsessive about it. :) it's a fantastic resource, and you do a great job maintaining it. I only wish I could be more helpful!

[deathpixie]

Oh, I was thinking the other day - Warren's dad doesn't have a PB yet. Would the guy who played him in X3 do? ;)

[missbossyboots.livejournal.com]

Yes!!!! I have absolutely no ideas for him at all. :)
