Lifted the following from casfic's journal. Can't think why I'm bthering to post it as it's utterly banal but what the heck...lot's of other people have! Anyway I'll tuck it away behind here

A - Act your age:Sorry, no can do.

B - Boyfriend: Married - very married. Does that count?

C - Chore you hate ? Housework is the pits, designed to stop me drawing things and writing things and being a fun person to know!

D - Dad's name ? Barry

E - Essential make up item - Mascara, my lashes are blonde at the tips.

F - Favourite actor ? Goodness me - so many to choose from! For sheer beauty I think it has to be Gregory Peck.

The other thing that everyone is doing at the moment is the four truths and a lie thing so here are mine -
1)I was 20 before I discovered what a lesbian was.
2)I was 5 before I discovered that milk came out of cows.
3)I'm getting a basket-hilted rapier for my birthday.
4)There's a small island named after my great granny.
5)I was once kicked by Sir Peter Scott.

Unique habit ? I push my glasses up my nose even when I'm not wearing them..

Sorry, not unique at all! I do that too, even though I wear contact lenses about half the time.

Right - scratch that! I don't think I have any unique habits, in that case. Come to that I tend to fiddle with my rings as well coz the bezel always slips round into the inside and it's annoying and the one Mike bought me for Christmas has whizzed off and is nowhere to be found. I suppose habits unless they are extremely peculiar are bound to be shared.
Speaking of which I have a strange compulsion to write a Malfoy fic based around the following limerick:
A young man labours in slavery,
To a habit that's deeply unsavoury.
With maniacal howls
He deflowers young owls
That he keeps in an underground aviary.

I vote for (4). I don't think you can possibly need another basket hilted rapier. You're getting the latest model Burleigh and Stronginthearm cross-bow, aren't you?

Burleigh and Stronginthearm cross-bows are for wimps. A thick stick with a string on it is good enough in Gwent!
And you're perfectly right - Great Granny was Jenny Potton from Potton Island in the Essex Marshes - a place that even the Saxons don't seem to have wanted. There were only three families on the island and they were so inbred it's a wonder I haven't six fingers or webbed feet or something.
