I'm being a complete failure at making a banner,
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*

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.
