1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
The one on my right wrist came from getting it trapped under a home-made go-cart and grating it on the surface of the steepest hill I and my brothers could find.

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
As yet absolutely nothing, in my old room I had a lot of black and white photos of naked women but I haven’t got around to hanging anything yet.

3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?
Small and blue with a photo of my woofer on the back

4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
At present my going to sleep music is Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing, my driving music is The Cat Empire and my mp3 music is Zero7 and Less Than Jake

5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
4pm seems to ring a bell, I must ask my mother.

6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
Clarity

7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Right now, nothing

8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?
Well the woofer isn’t really a possession, on the other hand I am the one who looks after him which makes him mine sort of. If the house was burning down I would be getting him over anything else.

9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?
Vanilla, cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. There used to be the most divine soap that smelled of exactly that but it doesn't get made here anymore so I have the final chunk in a paper bag next to my bed and sometimes I can smell it as I go to sleep.

10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
Only in crowds when people are too close or when I’m really tired and people bump me

11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
No.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME?
I’m keen on the smell of the orange lynx shower gel right now

14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Head hair? Body hair? I’m not really fussed, I object to badly maintained hair and poor personal hygiene. I think long hair can look fabulous but also have a thing for very short hair. Am put off by random tufts sprouting from shoulders.

15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT?
Anyone silly enough to propose to me would presumably have the sense to do it somewhere I can panic effectively.

16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINKS?
Ugh, I’ll have some weak tea with a lot of milk and sugar.

17. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Everything; pizza should be covered in ‘stuff’ including anchovies.

18. IF YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
That crispy fish salad from Lanna Thai in Subiaco. Tragically the last time I ordered it they ran out of fish and I had to pick something else.

19. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD?
I don’t think I’ve really annoyed anyone for ages,

20. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?
No. Unless being able to speak 'computer programmer' counts.

21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU (OF THE OPPOSITE SEX)?
I have inherited an item of clothing from every person I have ever dated. Thinking back I can't recall my first ever bf giving me things when I was 15 but I remember the bf when I was 16 giving me roses and once he dropped me off a packed lunch at school. Poor admin were frantic thinking I was lunch-deprived and gave it to me in the first class after lunch; all my classmates (95% girls) thought it was the sweetest thing ever. After that I tended to be given books, flowers, the odd piece of jewelery and clothes.

[Where are 22 - 27?]

28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
Yes, I have.

29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?
I’m more of a show person than a tell person although I'm getting better.

30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
42

31. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
Brunettes.

32. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?
My house has the lowest phone bill imaginable. If you want to know who I email the most it’s probably a split between [livejournal.com profile] cricketk and [livejournal.com profile] juffles.

33. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?
Stupidity.

33. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE U.S.?
I haven’t been into the US.

Nopes

39. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY?
Sleeping

40. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Toe liposuction, I want size 7B feet - the shoes stores of the world would be MINE to plunder.

41. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?
Lack of other things to do

42. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
By creepy people I get told I have really nice skin. To be fair non-creepy people say this too but the ones I rememebr the most are the creeps [sigh] it's a strange world. People I love, tell me I'm lovable.

43. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?
Fail to notice and possibly to go to pubs more although one assumes they will all close or turn into food places.

44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
More technology, for example a laptop, a dive case for my camera, a PDA/mobile telephone, a humungous LCD.

45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
Zero is looking good.

46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Alas, yes. After years of lying through her teeth and saying I was named after one of the stars in the constellation Pleiades my mother confessed that she read it in a book of case studies of schizophrenic women and liked the sound of it.

47. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
Doesn’t everyone?

I like one of my handwriting styles, unfortunately it’s not my writing-fast-style.

Bacon – you can have it for lunch!

52. ANY BAD HABITS?
Worst habit would be the tendency to get irritable and not care if I break things.

53. WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON THE SHELF?
I’ve had a look but failed to be embarrassed, this isn't a fair test though because I don't buy music very often and when I do I tend to continue to love it.

54. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Definitely, I would date me.

56. DO LOOKS MATTER?
For first impressions yes, after it’s going to require a sense of humour and some wit. I'm awfully arrogant in that I tend to wonder if new people I meet are going to be entertaining rather than wondering if they will like me. Not that I ssume they will, it's just not the first thing there in my mind.

57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
Exercise, puttering and squawking. It depends on how mad I am, seriously enraged results in loud ineffective squawking and a bit angry or slowly-developing-over-time angry lends itself to displacement activity like long walks or landscape gardening.

58. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
I don’t have one, I have family down south where I feel quite comfortable, my mother's home is also very welcoming although I've never slept there.

59. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?
Not sure, I tend to assume people are fundamentally good until proven otherwise, however if we’re talking intimacy then I like to get to know people over time.

My mother refers to a thing called “My Dolly” that I apparently refused to be parted with.

Far too often.

64. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?

Hand eye coordination and a sense of humour. Really; I go for neurotic intellectuals with sporting habits.

66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
Certain people are allowed to call me Masie, my father calls me MaiaBear and Sprog, my brothers call me ‘sis’ and my sister calls me Masie Moo, there was the unfortunate patch where she wouldn't stop calling me Captain Maia Sky Cloud but fortunately it has passed.

68. DO YOU UN-TIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Not if I can avoid it, let there be more slip on shoes in the world and less demanding that people wear shoes.

Crème Brule [dribbles].

72. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?
Strong, deep blues and vivid reds.

73. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?
Four although I suspect this question means in your head and not in a jar in the cupboard. I have thought about having them made into earrings.

74. WHO/WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST RIGHT NOW?
I’d say it wasn’t so much a who or a what that I miss as an ideal.
