Longer than I ought to.

3. Who was your favorite musical artist when you were 15?

That was probably either The Police or The Jam.

Whatever's going.

6. What's your earliest memory?

Being at school, there was a big old-fashioned rocking horse which I loved to bits.

Man from UNCLE stuff (books, magazines etc), Hong Kong action movies, zines, dvds in general, books, more books, Rex Stout novels.

Let me get back to you on that... ;)

Green Eggs and Ham.

*thinks* Nothing comes to mind since that chinese meal in Ottawa - isn't my life gastronomically dull?

I'd like to be a writer but deadlines...? Eep!

A dark blue diesel Renault Megane.

Good vodka, ice cold. Or good beer, preferably *not* ice cold.

Blue.

20. What's on your walls?

Going around the living room walls, we have a plate with a lion & tiger chasing one another; a children's alphabet poster in Russian (with animals and birds for each letter); a big batik Celtic hanging of geese I got in Skye a couple of years ago; a woodcut of an angel playing a violin.

If I get into the Circlet press anthologies I to which I submitted, I plan to snark in my author bio that writing is a more financially stable career choice than IT at the moment...

P.S.

Atlanta! DragonCon! :)

I would also like to add again, "Woohoo!" :)

I'm not sure I could do it justice, though my mouth is watering now just thinking about it.... *glug*

I'll see what I can do *grin*... can you tell I'm procrastinating about reading that huge mega document?
