Right, I was supposed to post this... meme stolen from places...

[hippybngstockng]

You can ask me 3 questions. Any 3 no matter how personal, private or random. I have to answer them honestly. In turn you have to post this message in your own LJ and you have to answer the questions that are asked to you. So go on...ask me any 3 questions...

I'll screen all comments by default - if you want your questions to be visible, say so in your comment. Otherwise, I'll keep them screened, and screen the answers as well.

EDIT: I've decided I don't care whether you reciprocate or not- you can ask me questions WITHOUT posting the meme if you care to... I'm just bored, I don't feel the need to ask other people questions. Again, ask me anything, ANYTHING...

1. What did being pregnant feel like for you?

2. Of all the books you've read, which one is the one you've read the most often? Why do you re-read it? (Do you re-read it?)

3. Do you wear jewellery? If you do, why? If not, why not?

1. Feeling pregnant... Wow... Well it took FOREVER, it hurt in weird ways and messed with me in lots of others (like sinuses). It seemed to take no time before I felt like there was this giant obstruction there that kept me from being able to bend over, get up, or lie down without pillows all around me. Later when he started moving it was weird- I described it as having a writhing snake inside my gut, which is fairly accurate, but it wasn't really that creepy. Near the end it felt like it hurt all the time, and I was always tired but was never able to sleep. I was awfully glad when it was over, and I don't recommend pregnancy like some women do- it's not my idea of a fabulous way to spend 9 months, I'd rather just go on vacation or something ;)

2. I'm not as into reading as I used to be, and I periodically think I know why, but usually not. The only books I've ended up re-reading have often been because of a class I was taking, but I did re-read "A Canticle For Leibowitz" by Arthur Miller a number of times, as well as "Stars in my Pocket Like Grains of Sand" by Samuel R. Delaney. I highly recommend both, but realize that it could just be because of things I got out of them that changed the way I think about writing.

3. Yes, I wear lots of earrings that I leave in all the time, and I have a couple holes open in front for other earrings. I also like necklaces, bracelets and rings, but have never gotten the hang of wearing pins or other weird accessories. There are some days when I feel incomplete without some things on, just because I've become accustomed to the way I look with things on. A lot of times it depends on how much time I get before going out, and how much I care that day ;) If I care about how I look I might throw a couple things on. If I am in a hurry, I am lucky if my socks match. But if I take off the things I always have on I definitely feel naked and weird. Ironically, the same is NOT true of me and makeup- I NEVER wear that stuff unless I am feeling gross or like I have to...

1) What are your top 3 favorite books/authors?

2) Is your piano still available?

3) Where is this blasted musty smell coming from!?!

[hippybngstockng.livejournal.com]

1. Authors- Harlan Ellison, Spider Robinson, and Douglas Adams off top of my head...

2. YES! Poke me on IM and we will chat about that...

3. If you have a basement, I would start there :) I've also had closets and bathrooms go nasty on me, and this one time my fridge had this thing behind it.... ;)

Plus, your eldest is now old enough that questioning him about ongoing secret science projects might be a good idea ;)

#3 - the garage has its own issues... nope, this is coming from the living area.... i am thinking dining room or livingroom. It ISN'T from behind the couch... so that is one step down. :)

Oh, I have a thought- How about coats? Are there any coats or jackets in the room? I once had a coat on the coat rack that had totally started to mildew (it's Washington, this stuff happens) and I didn't figure it out until one day when I shuffled some things around and caught THE WHIFF OF DOOM! Also shoes!

What is your Name?

What is Quest?

What is the best way to become a Landed Immigrant (short of marrying a Canuk?)

I don't reveal my name openly- if you were a listed friend, and this were a screened comment, maybe I would, but since you're a Nony Mouse, it's Puddin Tain, ask me again, and I'll tell you the same :P

Quest? er.... Context please? Do you mean PQ? If that's what you're wondering about- that would be Phoenix Quest, which is a friend's home-made role playing system which a bunch of folks I know have played and still play from time to time. Otherwise, the only other Quest I know of is a wireless company that might have gone out of business...

The best way I know to become a landed immigrant outside of marriage is to get a job here in order to be "sponsored" by an employer. I understand that in some cases this is pretty easy, and in other cases not so much because there's a rule that the employer is supposed to conduct a search to make sure there isn't a Canadian better suited to the job in question- it's whether they choose to enforce it that often makes the difference, and I honestly don't know how that works since I am getting it through marriage.
