6 and 7 and 14 please! : ) x

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Okay - 6,7, and 14 it is!

6. I have one tattoo, a cute little rabbit on my left lower back. He was a 30th birthday present to myself. Why a rabbit? Simply that I like rabbits, I think they're cute and lovely and I had pet rabbits for many years when I was a kid, right through until well into my thirties, and I have many joyful memories of them.
7. I have no immediate plans to have another tattoo, but I would never rule it out.
14. My favourite movie - this is a difficult one because there are lots of movies that I really like, but I have to keep going back to 'The Dish' which is an adorable little australian movie about Neil Armstrong's moonwalk and Australia's part in the filming of it.
Thank you for playing x

19, 20, and... 40 (I may well join the herd as well. XD )

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

heehee, join away :)
Okay, you asked for 19, 20 and 40.
19. Not something I 'hate', but one thing that does frustrate me about myself is that I wish I had the balls to be more of a free spirit. I love the idea of just living for the moment; hopping from job to job as a means to being able to travel the world, and live life to the full but I'm just a bit too fond of the security of having a regular income and a roof over my head!
20. What I love about myself is that I'm someone who can always see the positives in life, and I try to see the good in people. Sometimes I've come unstuck and been hurt, but I'd still prefer to be that way than cynical and pessimistic.
40. The sexiest person who comes to my mind? really? Do I need to say it ... JENSEN!!!!

[septembers-coda.livejournal.com]

17 and 15!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Hey there
You asked for 15 and 17.
15. I'll love you if you're broad-minded and accepting and don't judge me for my foibles, I'll love you even more if you're just a little bit of an oddball!
17. My most traumatic experience was seven years ago and it was the stupidest accident in the history of the world. I tripped over a paving slab, and hit my head on a gate on the way down, knocking myself out. That resulted in concussion, a dislocated left shoulder and a multiple fracture of my upper left arm and elbow. That in turn led (at the age of 39) to my very first stay in hospital, my first general anaesthetic and my first operation.

25, 29, 34 please :)

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Hey hunny
You asked me for 25, 29 and 34:
25. My pet peeve is bureaucracy, red tape and jobsworthism. Unfotunately in my line of work I see far more of it than any sane person would ever want to, and it infuriates me. I like to try to live according to the wisdom of Norman Stanley Fletcher; 'You can't beat the system, you're a fool to try, but you can lift the heart with the occasional little victory'. And those little victories - getting one over on the pencil-necks is a delicious feeling!
29. My last text message says 'thanks, do you want a cheque?' - it's from my Dad referring to two books I ordered from Amazon for my Mum.
34. Where would I like to live? If I stayed in this country, it would be somewhere in Somerset, near or in Glastonbury. I'd love to live in New Zealand too, but that's never going to happen as long as my parents are alive. As an only child I have responsibilities toward them and I can't discharge those responsibilities from the other side of the planet!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

We'd like to go to Dorset or Devon as a part of the retirement plan (Steve's anyways, I'm gonna be young enough to work still) as well as getting the place abraod :) so gmta. And again, New Zealand is on our must do list!

#25 YES!

Thanks for the answers hun :)

24, 31 and 35! ♥

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Hey there, thank you for playing!
24. My perfect date would be with someone who is good to talk to, funny and intelligent (if they were good-looking that's a bonus, but not a deal-breaker). We'd go somewhere that we could talk and get to know each other, so not the cinema or a nightclub, and it would hopefully be something to do with a shared interest - maybe history, nature or sci-fi or something like that. We'd end up in a nice restaurant that does good, hearty food, and share a bottle of wine. Whether things moved on from there would depend on how WELL we got to know each other ;)
31. I feel most proud and happy in myself when people compliment me for what I can do, not what I look like. Obviously, it's nice to be told you look nice, but I'm under no illusions that I'm any raving beauty, so I don't expect it. It boosts me no end to be told I'm clever or imaginative or well-read, or that I'm fun and game for a laugh. I hope I'm all those things!
35. I'm very insecure in being afraid of offending people. Tact and diplomacy are not behaviours that feature highly in my personal skills-set, and so often I say something or write something then I sit there torturing myself about all the ways that I could have caused offence!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Why is #1 on the list for ANYone?

Ok now I've got that out of my system: 15, 27, 32!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Well hey there, buddy!
15. I'll love you if ... you tell Jensen at A14 or JIB how amazing I am. No? Ok, I'll love you if ... you're still my buddy in thirty years time :)
27. I once lied to a friend's mother (who was also a friend in her own right) because my friend (Janet) told me she was pregnant before she told her Mum (Elsie) - mainly because her first pregnancy had been so bad that her parents had begged her not to do it again and she was working out how to tell them. Then Elsie and I met up in town a few days later (and clearly a mother's intuition) Elsie told me that Janet was looking bloated and pale, and not at all well, and it was almost like when she was pregnant; had Janet said anything to me? I knew Elsie was worried, but she could NOT hear the news from me, so I lied through my teeth and just said I didn't know and that Janet hadn't said anything! (Sorry, that got complicated)
32. This is a hard one to answer because I've never been attracted to a woman in any way other than a friendship sense, so I have no frame of reference for what I would find attractive in a woman. Strangely enough, I thought the girl who played Dean in the 200th episode had a beautiful face, and I was quite fascinated by her, but then when she took her wig off and let her long hair fall down, the fascination completely faded just like someone had flicked a switch, so I was clearly attracted to the pretty young man she was playing and not the woman!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw to #15...
32 doesn't have to be sexual attraction, of course. Your lie sounds like the right sort of white lie, I mean, what else could you do? :D

24 & 36 because I'm enjoying these I don't think they've been taken yet.

BTW I'm an only child so I really liked your answer to 34 in that I can relate and I sometimes feel like people with siblings don't understand how much of a responsibility it is being an only child. The older they get the more I am aware that I'm all they have and that when they're gone I will have no siblings to share that loss with.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Hey there!
I totally agree with what you say about only-childness, that's why my friends are so vital to me. Aside from my parents and my husband, my friends are the most important people in my life.

Anyhoo, you asked for 24 and 36, so ...
24. My perfect date would be with someone who is good to talk to, funny and intelligent (if they were good-looking that's a bonus, but not a deal-breaker). We'd go somewhere that we could talk and get to know each other, so not the cinema or a nightclub, and it would hopefully be something to do with a shared interest - maybe history, nature or sci-fi or something like that. We'd end up in a nice restaurant that does good, hearty food, and share a bottle of wine. Whether things moved on from there would depend on how WELL we got to know each other ;)
36. My childhood career choice was to be an artist. Although that is now not my 'living', I am still fortunate enough to have made art a successful hobby business in which I derive a lot of pride and pleasure and which earns enough to pay for me to go to Jus in Bello each year!

[waywardprimrose.livejournal.com]

That's really sweet that you feel that way about your friends. I have a two close friends who are a bit like that, my kids call them "Aunty" and I've stayed in contact with for many years but because we've moved a lot it's been hard to hang on to an immediate social circle. When your two closest friends are still 9+hrs away it can feel a little isolating at times even with all the wonders of modern telecommunications!

24 - I admit I love wine so I like that detail! And yes the movie date while cliche can be an awful way to get to know someone! Nightclubs are even worse, there was literally a stage very early in my relationship with my husband where I wasn't totally sure of what his name was because the music was so loud when he first told me that I wasn't entirely sure I'd heard it correctly. Shortly after we escaped to a balcony where we could hear each other and talked for ages but I was too nervous to ask if I had his name right. Fortunately he has a very common name and my guess was correct! I think if I was still single now at 30 I would love to meet someone at a con because at least they wouldn't be from work. As much as I love working with my husband I'm glad we were a married couple before we worked together and not the other way around, I think that would be a lot of pressure and very complicated in a small work environment. As it is there are times when professional disagreements have to be set aside from married life but sometimes it is a real blessing to work together.
