1. What was the naughtiest thing you did as a child?
>> Hm. LOL the first thing that comes to mind is something I never got caught at. I once snuck into Lady Jane Ann and Sir Lloyd's house when they weren't home, because Jane Ann always had gum for us kids if we asked for it. I really wanted some gum and so I just went and helped myself, even though I knew it was wrong to go and wrong to take without permission. I felt really badly after it, so I think I taught myself my own lesson.
2. If you had to give up either writing or vidding which would you sacrifice?
Oh, kill me now. Um. Hm. My first thought was to say writing, but I truly think I'd get so horribly bored with only vidding after a while, seeing the same same same images over and over, whereas writing can take you *anywhere*. I think I'd give up vidding first.
3. Why do you love rainbows so much, what do they mean to you?
They just kind of...did. I was taught the whole Noah story and thought it was nice, but somewhere in my angsty teenage years, it became a symbol of hope for me - and I love color. So from about sixteen years old and forward, rainbows were my talisman, my symbol, and I didn't know about gay pride for a long time. Now it's rather like I mix the two in a happy way.
4. Favourite way to destress?
Soak in a bath with Loreena McKennitt on the cd player, Lush bubbles, and fanfic. And a candle.
5. Favourite 3 books (and why?)*
Hm. I'll have to go series-wise, I think.
1) Little House. The little girl was named Laura, and my kindergarten teacher gave me the first book. Still means so much to me.
2) Outlander (Cross Stitch in the UK). The thought of being able to go back in time and truly experience what life was like and not just a reproduction of it is a dream of mine. Ah. To really, really see. That Claire is a smart woman and makes the best of her sticky situation once she realizes what has happened to her makes me love her, and I find the novels to be richly written and as if I were really there.
3) Anne of Green Gables. I first read a bit of an Anne story, the part where Marilla accuses her of stealing the amethyst brooch, in a hardback collection of stories and never realized that story was part of a larger story. When I first read AoGG, I was so happy that I'd found *more*. I loved the romance of being an orphan, living in an orphanage, being adopted by people who didn't want her at first and then found herself beloved. It was a balm to my young heart.
