turpsMy sister came to mine yesterday afternoon. While here she checked her Facebook and as her status put she was sick of her geeky sister. ( It's a thing, I tend to get on my FB and say I wish my sister would leave ) One of her friends replied with something or other, and Kay replied with 'at least I'm not a space nut that gets off on boyband porn'. Which really. Way to cross the fannish and real life streams.
I also got a FB invite to my old school's Christmas party at a local club. I would rather boil my own head in hot oil.
Thank you to everyone that answered my question in the last post. There was a lot of fascinating answers which I really enjoyed reading. Between that and all the editing I did yesterday I ended up dreaming about adding a new scene to my story. Of course I couldn't remember what it was this morning. Which obviously means it would have been the best thing in the whole fic.

1. What are your nicknames?
Turps. Which is what my brother always calls me, which is why to that niece and nephew I'm auntie Turps. I get called Ter a lot, too, especially online.
2. How do you style your hair?
Most days I just brush it and shove in a hairband, because I'm lazy, and it also keeps my fringe out of my eyes. But sometimes I put it up in a clip. I should cut it really, it's too long for me to do anything with.
3. What's new in your life right now?
Nothing. I'm the most boring person in the world.
4. How many colors are you wearing now?
Two. Blue t-shirt and black skirt.
5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Introvert.
6. What was the last book you read?
It was a Mills and Boon book my dad's partner gave me. I keep a bag full in the car and read them when I'm sitting waiting somewhere. I have no idea what it was called. Just there was a plucky heroine and a dastardly evil misunderstood hero. Like every other book in that series.
7. Do you nap a lot?
Nope. I find it hard to sleep during the day.
8. If the person you secretly like is already taken, what would you do?
Mope about that but not say anything.
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Lots of things, but they're not worth dwelling on.
10. What was the last thing you ate today?
I've just had an egg sandwich for dinner.
11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Not long. I shower on a night so it's case of throwing on my clothes, brushing my hair and teeth and I'm good to go.
12. What websites do you visit daily?
Live Journal. I also go to the etiquette hell boards a lot. I like laughing at all the things you're not supposed to do. According to those people I would have been cast into etiquette hell years ago.
13. what classes are you taking right now? and if you're not in school anymore, what's your job?
I don't have a job, not unless you count slave to the cats.
14. Do you like to clean?
It depends what job it is. I tend to be on top of most cleaning jobs but some get left until I have to do something.
15. What's the last song that got stuck in your head?
Space Cowboy, for which I totally blamerandomling
16. What are you doing right now?
Typing this answer, but I'm also listening to the Offspring special on Kerrang and am about to go make some coffee before finishing off some editing.
17. What's better: eternal love or memorable love?
This question puzzles me, because if love is eternal it has to be memorable. Unless you're like, a goldfish or something.
18. What would you do if you see $100 lying on the ground?
Mourn it wasn't £100
19. Best time of your life?
Age 16-18 when I was at college, had a group of good friends and went out clubbing, did volunteer work and was a full time hockey nut. Age 20 when I was pregnant and James and I had our own house and were first living together. Age 21 when we got our present house and Corey was a baby.
20. Tell me something good.
On a purely personal level, I keep getting shown over and over I have an amazing group of friends around me. People that will put in effort on my behalf and are just there when needed. That I have that is amazing. On a wider level. It's Christmas soon, and that's my most favourite time of year by far.
Okay, tags. I tag you and you and you. Go, answer!
