1. Your Middle Name: Ann 2. Age: 21 3. Single or Taken: Single *but gets semi-feministly huffy over the possesive implications of being "taken"* 4. Favourite Movie: Changes regularly, but probably The Matrix. 5. Favourite Song or Album: Changes even more regularly, possibly "How To Save A Life" by The Fray right now. 6. Favourite Band/Artist: Hmm. Maybe Snow Patrol. 7. Dirty or Clean: In what way? *suspicious* I'll say clean. 8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: A gecko on each foot. 9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? Does email count? ;) 10. What's your philosophy on life? Uhh... "Live your life by whatever bumper sticker appeals to you most". 11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? Neither and both. 12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Hmm. Depends on the secret... *cop out* 13. What is your favourite memory of us? Uhh... playing icon snap? 14. What is your favourite guilty pleasure? Staying up too late doing nothing of any substance. 15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I once had a chunk of my hair eaten by a goat. 16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarky) - what are they? To be able to change my hair colour endlessly with a click of my fingers, for waking up to be as nice as falling asleep, to be able to do some good in the world. 17. Can we get together and make a cake? I only just made biscuits earlier today and burnt the little buggers so I wouldn't advise it! 18. Which country is your spiritual home? I'm not very spiritual really but the UK is my physical home so that'll do! 19. What is your big weakness? Procrastination. Mixed with a lack of patience for both myself, others and idiots in particular. 20. Do you think I'm a good person? Yeah! I like to think (nearly) everyone is at heart. 21. What was your best/favourite subject at school? Geography. I rocked at the humanities... 22. Describe your accent - strangers come up to me and ask if I'm Australian/Canadian/>insert somewhere else like that I've never been here<. Take of that what you will. It should be a mixture of Sussex, Devon and Welsh. It's not! 23. If you could change anything about me, would you? I'd give you another couple of those wishes from up there! 24. What do you wear to sleep? If it's cold, pyjamas and slipper socks. If it's not... use your imagination. *possibly tmi* 25. Trousers or skirts? Trousers. Haven't worn a skirt in years! 26. Cigarettes or alcohol? Alkyhol now and then. Never smoked, don't intend to. 27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? I might reconsider that making a cake. Since you wouldn't be around long to eat your share and I'd get double! ;) 28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Probably not since I've posted once today just recently and you've already done this elsewhere!
Er... two summers ago I suddenly got an urge to get a tattoo! My sister has a hummingbird on her hip she got a couple of years back and it may have been delayed envy, or just a random whim. I wanted it be somewhere I could see easily but hide in a work environment, so ankle or top of the foot it was. And a gecko was pretty much a random choice. I hung around on bme.zine a lot and looked at pictures/read stories. Geckos are small and cute, and I quite like lizards. So there's no big life-altering reason for the gecko or the foot really!
It fucking killed. Felt like a razor blade cutting into my skin. Feet don't have much meat to dig into so it was just nerves and bone! Despite this I hobbled away happy and unexpectedly went back again the next week for a different colour gecko on the other foot! That one hurt less. Still tempted to get another tattoo. It is an addiction!
I figured that I'll only have one life's worth of use out of this body so it was best to do something like tattoo it while I had the chance! My parents weren't overly impressed.
I guess you and hubby wouldn't be likely to get matching Seals then? ;)

I can handle pain; i live in pain every day of my life and I have no problems with needles, no big deal.
But i'd want something what wouldnt warp if i lost 2 stone or gained it, kwim?
Feet sounds like a good place for a tat actually, and a gecko is suitably caribbean/beachy/Jimmy Buffett, i like it :)
