LAYER TWO: On The Inside
-- Your heritage: Britsh, basically. If I'm feeling important, 1/4/ spanish Irish, which means I have the dark eyes and hair but the easy-burn white-as-white skin..
-- The shoes you wore today: none! It was an entirely shoeless day!
-- Your weakness: umm, self-conscious? self-analytical? I could give a really long list, but it's be things I dislike about myself, not realy weaknesses.
-- Your fears: that's an even longer list. currently, Roz's mum getting to Dance Camp and turning around immediately and not letting her come.
-- Your perfect pizza: not much of pizza person , but somthing properly italian if I had to choose, with meat on and pinapple.
-- Goal you'd like to achieve: publish a book. been a goal as soon as i could write, and wrote a story about foxes that spanned about seven generations in one chapter, because plot really wasn't my thing (and still isn't)

LAYER THREE: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
-- Your most overused phrase on AIM: Does ^_^ count as a phrase?
-- Your thoughts first waking up: thirsty!
-- Your best physical feature: buggerd if I know. Apparantly I have nice eyes, but I wear glasses, so that's not a great deal of help.
-- Your bedtime: elevenish, or when i get bored.
-- Your most missed memory: don't really have one. Going to the same school as Sophie, possibly. I don't miss things that much

LAYER FOUR: Your Pick
-- Pepsi or Coke: bleargh! Neither.
-- McDonalds or Burger King: If I had no other choice, Burger King, because the chips actually contain potato
-- Single or group dates: dunno, never really dated. Jason doesn't count - we wlaked around gford a lot and saw about two movies together, which felt like muh more of a matey thing. Never been out on an evening date. Hmm.
-- Adidas or Nike: I don't do brand names. They're traiers (or other sports wear). If it's cheap i buy it, which, frnkaly, neither of those brands is.
-- Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: I like real tea but i can deal with iced tea if htere's no fruit juice.
-- Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate.
-- Cappuccino or coffee: Bleargh. tea!

LAYER FIVE: Do You?
-- smoke: one mouthful. didn't put me off, but having relatives on both sides of hte family die of cancer did.
-- Cuss: Just hell and damn. And maybe bitch if I'm sympathising with a friend.
-- Sing: so badly! but with friends, and to Queen, quite frequently. Oh, and 'Perfect' by fairground attraction, because I've heard that since I was about two.
-- Have a crush(es): One major, some minor, all unrequited. Have ecently come to the concusion that major crush is character building, since it's the first time something I want has been truly out of reach no matter what. usually, I know if i put my mind to it somehow I'll get what I want, i.e. if I really wanted ot buy something I could get a job and save up, or if I wanted to be better at something i could practise more.
-- Do you think you've been in love: i don't think so...

-- Like high school: yup.
-- Want to get married: with the 2 children and pet as well (not a dog, never a dog). Let's face it, I could be the gayest lesbian ever, and I'd still get married and have kids. I want to be so damn conventional like that.
-- Believe in yourself: Um, in some areas. It's not so much belief as knowledge, and belief is sort of not having hhte knowledge, but having faith anyway. If that makes any sense...
-- Get motion sickness: used to, but not so much anymore. wonderful homeopathic remedies kept my smiling while all around my were throwing up when the schol trip to iceland, which including a whale-watching trip (didn't see anything). I think i was one of only three not to feel nasueaus
-- Think you're attractive: maybe once a month, with effort, the right clothing, a good skin day, well applied makeup and a good hair day. so generally, not so much (though i don't think i'm ugly). If I wanted to put the effort in, I could look so much better.
-- Think you're a health freak: 70%
-- Get along with your parents: With mother a lot, actually. never had a fight with her. same with Harry - real father died when i was six.
-- Like thunderstorms: Hellyeah.
-- Play an instrument: Piana grade two. oKay, better than that, but I don't like the exams. Oh, and recorder for ages. I like the recorder. But regularly? don't touch a thing.

LAYER SIX: In the past month...
-- Drank alcohol: nght before last, but not enough to do anything.
-- Smoked: one mouthful.-- Done a drug: *counts* Yes. I think so.
-- Made Out: *smirks*
-- Gone on a date: almost a year ago, though if I don't count Jason that'd be a never
-- Gone to the mall?: it's a shopping centre, dammit, and yes. but generally it's just part of hte whole wandering around gford thing, not a trip in itself.
-- Eaten an entire box of Oreos: i've onlu seen them on sale once or twice here, so no.
-- Eaten sushi: allergic to fish, so sushi a big nono
-- Been on stage: nope
-- Been dumped: that would need the dating thing first...
-- Gone skating: nope
-- Made homemade cookies: me? cook? with food? thank god no!
-- Gone skinny dipping: never
-- Dyed your hair: I mean to, but I don't.
-- Stolen anything: I used to pick up loose change when i was about four (didn't get pocket money, so I considered anything smalelr than twenty pence left on a side mine), but when I did that at someone else's house I got yelled at a lot. never did it again.

LAYER SEVEN: Ever..

-- Been trashed or extremely intoxicated: Disney!
-- Been caught "doing something": nu-uh
-- Been called a tease: not aa far as I can remember
-- Gotten beaten up: only by my sister
-- Shoplifted: Never

LAYER EIGHT: Getting Older
-- Age you hoping to be married: Thirtyish? No idea, really
-- Numbers and Names of Children: don't know about numbers, and hte anme list varies There are names i like, but I'm not one for planning that far ahead.
-- Describe your dream wedding: don't have one, ecpet maybe in hte lake district. I'll need a waterproof wedding dress though...
-- How do you want to die: you know, i really don't plan my future to that extent. If britain gos underwater, it could well be suicide (when it comes to environmental issues I get oddly patriotic like that)
-- Where you want to go to college: University, dammit! ^_^ Cambridge, Exeter, Sussex, East Anglia... there's a long list right now
-- What do you want to be when you grow up: an author. other than that, no blody idea.
-- What country would you most like to visit: New Zealand. Blame LotR.

LAYER NINE: In a partner
-- Best eye color?: don't give a damn.
-- Best hair color?: see above.
-- Short or long hair: short on girls, long on guys. generaly, as long as it's clean, i don't mind much, though hair is one of hte first things I notice.
-- Height: don't care, though I prefer slightly taller than me. It's not hard to do...
-- Best weight: cruvy is good on a girl, average i like on a guy. Flat stomach is nice, but not skinny.
-- Best articles of clothing: don't really look at clothing much.
-- Best first date location: dunno. not fussed.


LAYER TEN: In The Numbers...
-- Number of drugs taken illegally: a few mouthfuls ofpot, taken form soneone else. I suppose underaged drinking also counts
-- Number of people I could trust with my life: it's everyone or no one, but i never intedn to get in a situation where I have to test it.
-- Number of CDs that I own: me personally, or CDs that I've appropriated from other family member too? ^_^ depending on how to define 'own', between fifteen and 50
-- Number of piercings: 2, earring
-- Number of tattoos: 0
-- Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper?: not many, once or twice, probably. Maybe just once.
-- Number of things in my past that I regret: There sohould be a lot, but I cant think of any. There are some things I really ought to feel incredibly guilty for, but i don't at all. And that doesn't bother me, except it ought to, which also doesn't bother me... Really thinking about it, no regrets. I like my life right now, and how it is right no is a reflection on the past, so I can't regret anything because if it had been different things would be dfferent now. If that makes any sense whatsoever.

It's very hard to fill one of those out, taking to someone on AIM and hold a conversation by text all at the same time. Oh, Anria, if people sak why I'm not at jacobi's tomorrow, my mother isn't well and I don't want to force her to drive me all over the place. I'll probably text and tell him anyway, but in case I forget.
