It varies! A lot like this I guess. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w279/cynthiaanelson/Mangoes.jpg

That changes quite a lot! Presently my mouth is watering after mangoes.

Not so much since I've had to ration walking time! I used to wander around my neighbourhood a lot, it's very pretty and leafy. Sometimes I head up to the shops for "exercise," where "exercise" means I walk to the chocolate shop and back :P. I'm moving soon, so there'll be new places to try, it's all very exciting! Although I shall no longer be near my chocolate shop, which is sad.

I wrote about it here: http://zeroatthebone.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/that’s-that-then/
I got tired of all the assumptions, I got tired of modifying references to my experience to make them more ambiguous, I wanted to challenge all the bullshit about young people I see in the progressive community. I wanted to stop having a role in perpetuating negative ideas about young people and the kind of writing and thinking we're capable of. I wanted to be myself, to write as truthfully as I could, and I couldn't deal with splintering myself like I had been. I wanted to talk about some experiences of mine I couldn't without talking about my age, although I'm not doing that at present because of some backlash I've been getting.
Which brings us to your second question. Yes, I'm glad. The nasty remarks have not been glad-making, but the support has been. But best is the knowledge I've led some people to rethink their ideas about teenagers, even a little bit. -

Well, first up it must be ethical, so it must be a house built by people working under fair conditions for good pay. It's by the sea - but on good transport routes so I can get everywhere I need to go - and it's pretty small. There's an big bathroom with white, pale yellow and pale blue tiles and of course a huge bathtub. There's a library. It's well lit, the front door is blue, it's off a main road and I don't get many visitors. There is plenty of bench space in the kitchen and the sinks are deep. There are lots of comfy chairs, and there's a window seat looking out to sea. There's a little attic and a little balcony. There's a nice yard that's safe for the guinea pigs, too!
See, this is not a fair question to ask me when I'm trying to move house. :P -
My favourite picture book I've read in recent years is Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, who's from Northern Ireland. It's about a boy and a penguin and LOVE. It was published in 2005 I think.

Being my amazing self. Because I'm amazing and shit.

Someone who was very dear to me told me I had the most integrity of anyone she'd ever met. Which of course came back to bite me in the arse regarding our relationship. Actually, this has happened twice, that is, with two separate people. But that's a story for another time.

Oh I have lots of answers to this! http://disabledfeminists.com/2009/12/08/meet-a-contributor-chally/ :D

I am Regency Era Lady, and I fight to preserve the British Emp- what do you mean there's no British Empire anymore? Now now, Clarissa, a lady must display no untoward emotion, it is most unbecoming. I shall use my powers of Idle Gossip and Insincere Laughter to send off this ruffian. If that does not work, I shall have to resort to Public Shaming. And if THAT does not suffice, there is always the Twirling Parasol of Splendid Rage.

Nah, it's slang for chicken. :) Really good guess though!!

I was going to say: That there is love in this universe for them. That things can get better. That they can do better.
But you know what, if I could tell everyone just one thing, I would like everyone in the world to know that they have purpose and validity, a unique place in the universe.
If you're still around, anonymous questioner, I want to hear your answer to that question. -

Okay, I think spotty dog (which is vanilla and chocolate mixed together) because I like variety, and I like light and shade. And I think I bounce around a lot in attitude and interests and things. -
How Twitter. I am sitting on the couch in my jammies, watching The Simpsons and catching up on comments and such. A blogger's work is never done!

A committed relationship, if it's a choice between the two, though right now neither option appeals to me to be honest!

So many things. Never being able to keep up with everything I'd like to keep up with. The way people treat other people so badly because they aren't right in front of them. The way tensions flare up into blogwars. The little cliques which build silent tensions and make what should be fun unhappy. What often ends up being a lack of accountability. Lots of things.
