Blue eyes

Black, fine - pen

No weird toes (I used to call my brother "funny toes" because his 2nd was longer).

Learned how to drive a stick, but wouldn't do it now as I have nerve damage in my left foot.  I could do it, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.  Why take chances.

Love chargrilled oysters

My purse is tiny.  Just room for my phone and and 3-4 cards, a nail file and a kleenex.

I love to look at water (live on a small lake) but I hate beaches.

They are very much better... especially if topped with greens frizzled in bacon fat and also the bacon..and a bit of cheese melting over it all.  Go all out decadent if you add a bit of my hot crab dip and a steamed shrimp.

They sound like a sort of grilled Oysters Rockefeller!

Okay, wicked temptress, I am willing to go all out decadent. I'll bring 3 bottles of wine - one for each dish!!!

I for the life of me can not wear a wrap dress... even when I was fairly slim.. I am bumpy to the front.. chest.. strong thighs.. and wrap dresses just don't stay wrapped well.  Also shirt dresses buttoned down the front.. a disaster.

I don't like shopping, either. I DO enjoy browsing the book store and I love looking at shoes (although trying them on can be annoying).

queensway's picture

Eyes are blue.

Black ink.

No on toes.

I haven't drove a stick shift in years. But yes.

Oysters, no

I love anything to do with water.

I love to shop for home decor and clothes.

I switch my purse everyday to match my clothes. All kind of sizes.

Waxing. yay

Rainy day, I love to listen to it. So relaxing. Not storms.

Stranded on a island, well if I knew I was never getting off of the island I would take a horny good looking man. Not my DH because he would be worried and talking about those F'n skids. I prefer to die a happy woman on an island. Diablo

Myss.Tique D'Off's picture

What color are your eyes?
I don’t know.
Officially they are green, but the truth is they are a muddy snotty messy colour... Varied combination of green, hazel and grey depending on my mood, weather or day.

What color of ink do you prefer?
Turquoise – and I love fountain pens

Is your second toe longer than your first?
Yes – when I pull it out straight, so that apparently makes me a werewolf...

Do you know how to drive a stick shift?
I drive one

Oysters: Yay or Nay?
No thank you. I am a veggie who may eat mussels once in while, but oysters? Nah uh no thank you

On that water, in the water, or landlubber?
I love the water!! In or on – and if I can’t be in a natural body, a nice bubble bath, with candles and a glass of wine.

Favorite two things to shop for?
I don’t like shopping too much, but if I need to put in some effort, it would be for organic cruelty free beauty products and books.

How big is your purse?
I don’t know what you mean by purse. To me a purse is what you would call a pocket book / wallet (the thing that goes in your handbag –purse?).

Waxing: Yay or Nay?
Yes - necessary evil

Favorite thing to do on a rainy day?
Curl up under my favourite blankie,  home made soup with good artisan seed bread and good book.  I love the sound of the rain. (More water!!)

If you were stranded on the island, what is the one thing you’d take with you?
A genie in a lamp... So I could wish for whatever I wanted. And no 3 wish maximum nonsense or my last wish would be an endless supply of wishes!!

By purse, I meant handbag. I usually carry the same one until it falls apart. My sister is a handbag ho and has around 30.

lieutenant_dad's picture

What color are your eyes?
Blue on the outside, fading into to greenish-brown in the middle.

What color of ink do you prefer?
Blue for making lists, black for actual writing. The ink has to be quick drying so that my left hand doesn't smear it.

Is your second toe longer than your first?
Yes

Do you know how to drive a stick shift?
In theory, yes. I can, but I am not good at it and will stall the car/bike.

Oysters: Yay or Nay?
Mmmmmmmmmm...

On that water, in the water, or landlubber?
In, usually.

Favorite two things to shop for?
I personally like shopping sales, in general, to see what is available. I don't really have a set thing I like to look for so much as I want to get the best deal on what I find.

How big is your purse?
Uhhh...average size? It slings across my chest, so not very big. I don't like big bags; they encourage me to carry too much stuff.

Waxing: Yay or Nay?
Nope. No. Nein. Nay.

Favorite thing to do on a rainy day?
Take a bath, then take nap. If it is a warm rain, I will open the windows while napping.

If you were stranded on the island, what is the one thing you’d take with you?
Sunscreen for me, too. I would fry without it.

Aniki-Moderator's picture

What is it with us mermaids who have a tendency to fry in the sun??

Waxing means I would have to let those hairs grow out long enough for the wax to rip 'em out. NO.

GhostWhoCooksDinner's picture

What color are your eyes?
hazel- more brown or more green, depending on the light and time of day. I've bee ntold that they turn dark brownish-black when I'm really pissed.

What color of ink do you prefer?
Black in general, fine point, preferably Sharpie or gel ink. Multiple colors for journaling.

Is your second toe longer than your first?
Yes.

Do you know how to drive a stick shift?
I've never had the opportunity to learn, but I bet I could pick it up pretty quickly.

Oysters: Yay or Nay

Definitely NAY!

On that water, in the water, or landlubber?
If it's a really hot day, in.

Favorite two things to shop for?
Books and...more books?

How big is your purse?
I usually just carry a small wallet-type thing that holds the basics that I can clip my keys onto. When I do carry a purse, it's only large enough for said wallet thingy, keys, a hairbrush, my phone, and a book.

Waxing: Yay or Nay?
Nope!

Favorite thing to do on a rainy day?
Sit on the couch with a blanket and my cats, reading a good book, coffee in hand.

It's great - much less painful (but still some) than waxing.  The tear it out with the grain, not against.  I also don't get ingrown hairs or rashes.  No icky residue.
