vickyocean. I'm really sorry - I just don't think it's going to get done any time soon. So, you know, you should go ahead and pick one of the much-more-beautiful-than-I-could-make ones that other people commented with links to, without worrying about me suddenly popping up in a couple of weeks with a specially-made-for-you-but-unfortunately-really-rubbish banner. Er, not that you need my permission to do that, of course - but I worry that you're feeling obliged to wait, and want to just get on with repainting your lj. :-) According to the work canteen menu, my vegetarian options this week include pan-fried steak sandwich, bang-bang chicken, and gammon ham and eggs. *aims eyebrow in their general direction*
Ask me any question, about myself, or what I think about something--personal, political, fannish, whatever--and I'll answer it.
*goes to think up questions to put to other people*

Favorite article of clothing and why?
I invented a character for the X-Men universe who could make people fall asleep, using the power of pheremones. I thought that was rather fun - but personally, I'd rather be able to fly.
And, hmm... do shoes count? Because I think it has to be my red high heels. They're cute rather than slutty (matt red rather than patent leather), they have little pink bows on them, and they make my feet look tiny. They're just the girliest things imaginable. Not usually the style I go for - but I just adore them.
Oh, or my cloak. I have the best cloak. It used to belong to my mum, when she was a teenager. It was made by my great-aunt, and when laid out flat it's almost a complete circle. It's really, really heavy material, and it has a hood, and it swirls beautifully, and I feel like one of Tolkien's Ringwraiths when wearing it. Plus it's quite practical - if I wear it for Hallowe'en, it's really warm.
You see I consider myself both Scottish and British and if asked will reply 'I'm British, but Scottish to be exact.'
Just curious. I often wonder how the English see themselves.
I think that being English tends to be a thing even the English are a little embarrassed about. It's just not got a cool reputation. British is cool (in some ways), but not English.
Do you dance crazy when nobody is looking?
Well, the dancing crazy is easy. Yes. And when people are looking, too. If I ever have a child, I'll embarrass the crap out of them. :D
Back to the first question... Being able to write. It's the one thing most important to me. I can't imagine not being able to do it. I wonder if I should say my family or my bf there. But, if I'm honest, I know I could cope with losing them (that's cold of me - it would be almost impossibly awful, though), but if I wasn't able to write, I think I wouldn't have a way of dealing with the world. If that makes sense. It doesn't have to be actual words that are written down and read by other people - it's more the actual putting together of words in my head. It's something I do constantly, even under the worst or best circumstances, and the actual putting down on paper (or on computer) is more a way of getting them in order and in one place. So, er, I'm not sure how that would be termed - but 'writing' is as close as I can put it.
Eep, tough question!
Interesting about the writing though, I've never been a writer at all, but I love hearing how creativity works for people.
Writing feels to me like something I can't NOT do. It's weird, and sometimes I'm not sure it's entirely healthy - in a way, I think it's a way of not dealing directly with things.
That said, I guess everyone has different coping mechanisms for getting through life - mine tends to be either composing long, involved journal entries that help me get my thoughts straight, or escaping entirely by writing fiction.
