Another awesome meme! Although this one requires more photographs of me than I'm entirely comfortable with, lol.

A rabbit, huh, were you trying to make sure you'd never be short of plot bunnies? ;D

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Heehee, yes, well he's not helping me at the moment ... my plot bunny patch is dry! :(
I always had pet rabbits as a child, andd into my adult life, and I am very fond of bunnies generally, so a bunny was the natural choice for a small cute tattoo which was what I wanted!

Ooh, this looks like fun. Might have to nab this one. :)

Turquoise is a lovely color. <3

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It's a beautiful cool, calming colour!

I love art & writing too! :D

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I think we all have similar iinterests in common, which is lovely!

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* It really is! :D I've been enjoying your work too, when you post it! :D

[vexed_wench]

Wow, you're tall. :)

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I think the average for a woman in the UK is 5 foot 4 inches, so I'm a bit taller than average!

[vexed_wench]

I am not even 5'4". :(

The best things in life come in small packages!

[vexed_wench]

This is very true. I have to admit just once I would like to be able to reach things from the top shelf, any shelf, with out help.

Another fun meme! I might want to do this one. :)

A tattoo of a rabbit... that's something Dean would like. I like it, too!

I love the color turquoise. <3

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I think Dean likes rabbits, and I love that about him!

So, what's the cause of the steel plate in your arm? Did you break it at some point? I'm sure there is a story there.

I do love the color turquoise. It's a favorite next to purple, of course.

Yes, I had an accident ten years ago - the stupidest accident ever. I tripped over a paving slab, and ended up in hospital with a multiple fracture of my right humerus and elbow and concussion.
Because of the elbow fracture, I had to have it surgically repaired because I probably would have ended up with a fused elbow if I'd just left it to knit naturally!

I raise being clumsy to an art form!!!!

[metallidean-grl.livejournal.com]

That trip could have happened to anyone. Every now and then I find myself tripping over the smallest or stupidest things. Luckily it has never resulted in an injury (knock on wood). This also could have just been a fluke injury that happened from tripping. I can see that surgical repair was the better route. To have your elbow fuse together, that would make a mobile arm next to NOT! Yikes! Glad it wasn't worse.

Clumsy? Yea, some people just have the gift. ;)

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

During the course of my life, I've broken my left arm and elbow, my left wrist, two toes, my nose and knocked my two front teeth out. And that was just going about my daily life - not even doing anything particularly high risk. By comparison, my Grandad went to war - for six years - and (thankfully) never suffered a scratch!!!

So yes, I guess you could call it a gift! ;)

Yikes!! You are accident prone. LOL You should take stock at that hospital, with your visits alone you would have earned good residuals. ;)

It's good that you didn't inherit your "skill" or gift from your grandad.
