Well I don't actually have a favourite. I have a lot of shoes.... Enough shoes to last me my whole lifetime when it comes to changes in fashion. Plus there's enough there for me to always forget what I have and come across some shoes when I go digging that I forgot all about. If we say favourites is most worn then that would be (I'll use my nick names for them) my snow boots, my biker boots, my cat woman boots, my Edwardian heels, suede slouchies, black suede cowboys, my cowboy boots, and maybe... my black buckle heels. Oh and my tie up strappies which I never wear and never will. Oh and maybe my gladiator ones. Ooo and my red mary janes, my brown gems... And my men's shoes.... Um I'm going to stop myself there or else I'll just keep going.

I don't really remember which cartoons were always from which decade except for Sailor Moon and Samurai Pizza Cats which entertained me tremendously. Plus I didn't spend that much time inside as a kid and by the 90's the 80's toons were dying down and when 90's ones took off I was getting into my Teens and watching Recovery. I remember watching The Trapdoor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Danger Mouse, Transformers, He-Man (but I wasn't nuts about that one), The Smurfs, Carebears, X Men, Batman (I loved Batman), Astro Boy and whatever was on Agro's Cartoon Connection.
As for todays cartoons I have no idea. I haven't payed attention to them since my nephew was at least 5 when I was able to hang out and watch cartoons a lot with him. That's when the remakes of my old favourites started happening and at first we were excited because there was something that we could watch together, but that was short lived because they all looked like they were on steroids and the theme songs were so much different. Only other cartoons I watch today are adult ones. -
Um Scott Sigler would be my current favourite because I am very impressed with his initiative. Anne Rice is favourite of all time because she inspires me and shits and gigles.... Um I don't really have a favourite for that. Linda Jaivin and Rachel Caine are pretty good for that though, but I've only ever read one of Jaivin's books.

Lots! They aren't always 'passions' though because all my interests go through cycles for when I can actually pay attention to them. Old movies, black and white film, world cinema, and art house is one cyclic phase. Again with movies is watching certain films that involve certain people like Steve McQueen or Gene Wilder. I also have cyclic phases for gaming (which I'm pretty addicted to at the moment), spirituality, Eastern culture and lifestyles, insects, spiders and other arachnids, psychology, the BLGT scene, the Goth scene, Steampunk culture and entertainment, collecting, geography, science, demonology and dark arts (not as a worshipping format as I am not religious), mythology, puzzles, ancient history, vampires, and forums. I didn't mention writing because that's always a constancy (they're always constant, but not with my activeness). Same with art, but it goes through phases of type such as only appreciating to creating something.
-
Most probably not. I do have some trust issues and I also like an old school format where it's in print. I have shared some poetry and short stories in the past, but have recently been working on taking them all offline. On the other hand I have been considering pod casts and e-reading for anything I write in future, but I'm still researching that.
-
I'd love to be a successful author and make a living from it, but if it means I can't write for myself and have to cater to an audience I'll never be happy. Don't get me wrong, I love it when someone loves something I write, but writing for a specific demographic would be far too stifling.
-
Anne Rice and I wouldn't go as far as influencing my writing because I try not to let another author or their work influence me in that way. She has been one of the most inspirational authors to me however because she has never stuck to one genre and let herself be pigeon-holed. That's one of the main reasons she is one of my favourite authors as well, not because of her work (which I love anyway and that was more the earlier stuff), but because she broadened her talent rather than squishing it into some little box to make everyone happy.
-
If it's one true love than it's a no. If it's more generalised than yes, but to me that means that some love is true because someone really feels it and lives by it. At the same time I also believe there is a lot of false love and a lot of true love tainted with false love as well.
-
Not for me it's not! I think more opportunity for someone like me would come from my own country or Europe whereas I think America caters more to the non artistic and appeals more to people in poorer countries. I also haven't seen that movie, but I know which one you're talking about.
-
I can go without writing for a short time, but if I had to completely give it up I'd have a melt down. I love reading to pieces and I love books, but writing is like my vocation. I couldn't give it up even if I wanted to or tried to.
-
Pretty much all the time. I'm not kidding. I see a story in pretty much everything I come across - birds, trees, music, people, words... Everything. If I wrote down all my stories I'd be continuously writing and would probably have to keep writing well after I'm dead. It can be a bit distracting sometimes, especially when I'm talking to someone because they could say one thing and that's it - story time in my head! And yet when someone asks me to come up with an idea most of the time I can draw a blank and have nothing.
-
Yes. Tulips, green roses, and black roses (and not the dyed type either, but the real ones which are actually deep red). I also don't mind certain orchids.
-
I love it. For a first published novel it's really well done, the characters are interesting, and even though it's a fantasy it's still dark and doesn't piss me off by the end of it (I can't handle too much fantasy), but I sometimes wonder if there's much difference between my copy and the proper finished copy (my copy is an uncorrected proof). This is also the second time I have read it, the first time being over 2 years ago now and I thought I should read it seeing as the new one came out (haven't really been reading much lately though).
-
I try to update the sidebars as soon as possible! I can't always do it straight away, say if it's late at night that I've finished and I'm too stuffed to turn the computer on, but even then I update my reading journal (I have one offline too). I'm pretty pedantic about some things and that's one of them. The only time I leave it for a few days is if I can't get to it or if I haven't really gotten into my next read and am trying to decide on something else.
-
Yes and no. I'm not one of those women who love to yap on the phone all the time. I don't like that stereotype, but I also don't mind talking on the phone. I've spent a big part of my life being a phone bitch (the phone answering person), at work for example, and when I was younger I got a kick out of my Dad letting me answer the work phone. On the other hand there are times when I can't stand the phone and that's usually when telemarketers have been calling a lot or I'm trying to do something like write or rest. I get a little cranky then.
-
Do I? Bloody oath. For instance, when I'm cleaning I have a habit of putting things on. Like today when I ended up wrapping a shawl around my head and putting on one long sleeved glove. I seem to prefer putting things on my head, but it usually depends on what I come across. The only other thing I can think of is I cross my toes when I'm trying to get to sleep or resting (can be crossing two toes on one foot or crossing toes from one foot with toes on the other foot).
-
At the moment it's phone calls. I feel my life has been mostly online for the last 4 and a half years, plus my internet keeps stuffing up, so I've really gotten onto the phone band wagon lately. Although I still appreciate emails because not everyone who has a conversation with you actually converses, but talks at you instead. I'm also always a writer first and foremost so writing helps me get a lot out that I might not get a chance to communicate otherwise with some people.
-
If it's a problem with the net I try and figure it out and ring someone if I have to. If it's just because someone else is using the computer or my laptop is stupid than I do all sorts of stuff. I grew up being bored a lot or in situations that were extremely boring so I learnt to entertain myself. Lately it's either reading, writing, gaming, sketching, compiling questions and ideas for forums, rearranging something, cleaning out cupboards, watching DVDs when my telly decides to work, reworking my budget, playing with my camera, catching up on my Heavy Metal mags, trying to learn another language. I can't get out much, but I still have plenty I can do around the house in between resting and the key is to find something that is mentally consuming so I don't over analyse everything.
-
Yes and no. I do believe that we don't cease to exist when we die, but the way in which we exist isn't what people who believe in reincarnation or life after death usually consider.
I believe that yes we do die and yes our bodies decompose and therefore the circle of life continues on with our bodies feeding the Earth (or as it should), but I don't believe we cease to exist because energy and matter can never be destroyed, just displaced.
