Yup, it's another too-long set of questions to answer! Hurrah!

Stolen from a bunch of other people all old enough to know better.

1. Are you named after someone?
Nope. Anne-Marie is a French name and my mum was a French teacher who'd lived in France and my middle name was just one my Dad liked.

2. When was the last time you cried?
Proper crying - most of last year after my Dad died. Recently I've had some little cries over sad fics and the like, but nothing major.

3. Do you like your handwriting?
Like Description: http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo.gif?v=17080?v=140.8raloria, I used to. All this typing and too little weilding of a real pen has taken its toll!

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
I thought lunch meat was lunch meat, you know? And I never liked it even when I was a meat eater.

5. Do you have any kids?
Nope.

6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
Definitely not! I'd drive myself crazy.

7. Do you use sarcasm?
Yes but I'm not very good at it. I can't think quick enough to get the really cutting sarcasm out in time.

8. Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes. Though why anyone would find that interesting I've no idea.

9. Would you bungee?
Let me think - NO!

10. What is your favorite cereal?
It used to be Frosties with the top of the milk but I cut that out - too much sugar and fat. Now I don't have a fave.

11 Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Nope, my shoes have velcro and that stays fastened! Now I sound like either an old lady or a child...

12. Do you think you’re strong?
Most of the time.

13. What is your favorite ice cream?
Either Italian or Australian (which if from Belgium!!!) raspberry or cassis. Oh god, to die for.

14. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?
How animated they are - or aren't. Probably their smile.

15. Red or pink?
Red.

16. What is your least favorite thing about yourself?
My overwhelming laziness.

17. What color pants and shoes are you wearing right now?
Black pants and bare feet.

18. What was the last thing you ate?
A bowl of shreddies and a banana.

19. What are you listening to right now?
My fingers typing!

20. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Violet.

21. What’s your favorite smell?
Mown grass maybe? Or freesias, or honeysuckle, or fried onions... I dunno!

22. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
My aunty Margaret yesterday.

23. What’s your favorite sport to watch?
Ice hockey!

24. What’s your real hair color?
Mousy brown and grey.

25. What’s your eye color?
Hazel/green.

26. Do you wear contacts?
Not any more because I'd then need to wear reading glasses.

27. What’s your favorite food?
Mmmm. Ice cream.

28. Scary movie or happy ending?
Happy ending. I don't watch scary. (Yeah, I know, I'm a SPN fan but that's different!)

29. Last movie you watched?
Beau Geste as research for my spn_cinema. What a terrible film it was too! LOL

30. What color shirt are you wearing?
Sort of pinky faded red with flowers on it. My that sounds very unappealing written down.

31. Summer or winter?
Autumn!

32. Hugs or kisses?
Hugs.

33. What’s your favorite dessert?
Ha ha see fave food. Ice cream.

34. What book are you reading?
Several but also none because I can't seem to concentrate on a book any more. Got several fanfics open at the moment too.

35. What is your profile pic?
Where? On LJ I seem to have stuck with Jared's perky little bubble bum from my spn_cinema fic, but elsewhere I have different ones.

36. What did you last watch on TV?
The men's Olympics hockey final last night.

37. Favorite sound?
I don't really have one. There are lots of sounds that are pleasant - from bird song to music to laughter but I wouldn't single one out.

38. Rolling Stones or Beatles?
Always the Beatles, though I've come to appreciate a few Stones tracks.

39. What is the farthest you’ve been from home?
Sydney, Australia.

40. Do you have a special talent?
Nope.

41. Where were you born?
Liverpool (hence my loyalty to the Beatles!).

I come from a very chavvy sounding area of the south originally. I'm allowed to say that 'cause I am a chavvy ;) (Romany born and bred) and when I go home or near home I end up sounding like a mix of someone off TOWIE and someone who bales hay for a living :D

Oh my, I really want ice cream right now, too...

Also, if you don't mind me asking, where did your Mom live in France?

She worked as an au pair with a couple of families. I know one family lived in Paris because we kept in touch with them and used to visit, but I'm not sure where the other family were from (I think maybe Lyons). She's coming down here this weekend so I'll ask her!

So nice! I would have loved to work as an au pair, but it's basically impossible when you're a guy lol
Also, Paris and Lyon are such great cities, even if I'm never been to Lyon, but I have friends who live/lived there and love it.

I completely get your answer for the book question. I used to have my nose in a book all the time and now I can barely get through a couple of chapters and I'm skipping ahead to see what will happen and then abandoning it entirely. I probably wonder why J2 aren't in it and then wander off. Whatever little concentration I have goes into remembering to get things done and doing the household paperwork.

Autumn is a great time of year. Crunchy leaves and no more mosquitos here.

I think it's partly a fanfic thing, and partly an internet thing. My attention span has definitely suffered because of the latter - witness right now. I'm watching Germany vs France handball on one tab, then there was a slight pause so bam, I had to check my emails, then I saw your comment, and now German have equalised and I need to go back and watch the last minute without distracting myself again! LOL
