[CompassRose]

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
The Forest of Souls, by Rachel Pollack; John Steinbeck's The Acts of King Arthur...; a pile of cookbooks and magazines, hunting for exciting holiday goodies; Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle -- I think that's it.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
Don't have one at home; I have a touchpad (called a SmartCat) attached to my laptop.

FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Ehhhhh.... I don't really like board games, though I suppose I like 'em better than the fancy trick-counting card games the rest of my family likes. Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit, I suppose, but only if I'm in the mood.

FAVORITE MAGAZINE?
There aren't any that I follow with slavish devotion. Cooking magazines, writing and literary magazines, design rags, hardcore fitness & muscle magazines tend to make up the largest part of my purchases. I just found a really nice small lit quarterly called Rosebud (http://www.rsbd.net/) which I enjoyed a great deal. Of course, it's only sold in about three Canadian stores, none of them in my town, so if I want to keep reading, I'll have to subscribe.

FAVORITE SMELLS?
Almond paste, woodsmoke on a fall evening, that smell your clothing gets when you've been outside on a freezing winter day, patchouli.

FAVORITE SOUNDS?
Cellos, husky "whiskey voices", my mother playing piano, wind blowing (when I'm inside!)

WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?
That horrible sinking sensation, when you realise that yet again everyone but you has been included in something fun.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
"Get OFF me! I'll feed you in a MINUTE!"

ROLLER COASTER SCARY OR EXCITING?
Too short, considering the wait.

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?
Anywhere from one to four, depending how close I am -- and after four, it goes to auto-answer.

FUTURE DAUGHTER'S NAME?
Either "Whatthe-???" or "Miracle." :D There are no daughters in MY future.

FAVORITE FOODS?
I like food. Food is my favourite.

CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?
Yes, please.

DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST?
Yes, which is why I love my Volvo; she is grey, and like most classic Bricks, gives the illusion of standing still even while whizzing down the 401 at 140 km/h. Unlike, say, a red Mazda.

DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
No. I sleep with real animals, one of whom likes to sleep on MY head. Another stuffs herself firmly in the crevice between me and A., while the third slumbers round my feet, but snarls and tries to bite me if I move.

The fourth doesn't sleep on the bed. He prefers the stairs, on the comfort of the runner -- but no particular stair, which can make midnight bathroom trips exciting.

STORMS - COOL OR SCARY?
Bring 'em on -- unless they take my #$%@ chimney down again.

WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
I'm driving MY first car... that is, the first car that's mine -- a Volvo 240. The first car A. and I shared, though (I wasn't driving yet) was Russ the Wonder Car ("It's a wonder he's still moving!") who was one of the Talking Cars.

IF YOU COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE?
Ursula K. LeGuin or MFK Fisher.

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
Mead.

WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?
Triple Pisces with Aquarius moon.

DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?
Yes. I usually peel them, though.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Job? JOB??? Managing my generous investment income, that's what it would be. Sheesh. Is there anyone who GENUINELY works because they LOVE it?

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR?
Any colour that some part of it hasn't already been at some point? Hm! Dunno what that would be!

EVER BEEN IN LOVE?
I have been in love so bad it hurts. I have been in love so sweet it was wonderful to stand in the same world as the one I loved. I have been in love and wished I wasn't, and I have been loved while I did not love. Sometimes all at the same time.

IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?
What's in it, and if it's mead, is there any more?

FAVORITE MOVIES:
Ninja Scroll, Pirates of the Caribbean, Aladdin, Sense and Sensibility, The Piano, The Pianist, the two episodes thus far of The Lord of the Rings, Sleepy Hollow, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Wit...

DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS?
Yes. Only useful thing I ever learned in high school.

WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?
Dust, and sometimes socks.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?
Odd.

FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH?

BIGGEST PET PEEVE?

Don't even get me started, or I will go on all night. Right now, my biggest peeve is people who cut into the oncoming lane when they turn a corner, so that if you are coming to a stop, then are cutting across your lane and you have to slam on brakes. The look at you like you are doing something wrong (while they are talking on their cell phones).
