How curious....! Because obviously, I have a bog-standard British accent. I was sure that, if correct, this would come out as Bostonian.

Solstice/Christmas/Yuletide meme
Nov. 25th, 2006 02:45 pmI can't remember who this is from. I did it offline and because it was a bit premature (actually, it still is) I kept it and then forgot. So here it is, as I am taking a break from re-decorating the bedroom.

Tarot card meme
Nov. 19th, 2006 09:49 amWell, it is in certain circumstances my job...
You are The High Priestess
Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.
The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.
What Tarot Card are You?

The ABC's of Me.....
A - Accent: Bog-standard English Received Pronounciation.
B - Breakfast Item: Tea.
C - Chore you hate: Scrubbing flagstone floors (no, we do not really live in the 17th C: it just feels like it).
D - Dad's Name: Ken (no Kenneth Williams jokes ever get made, however, as my father is one of the least camp people alive)
E - Essential everyday item: my head?
F - Flavor ice cream: mint chocolate chip or some of the fancier Hill Station ones (cardamom, e.g.)
G - Gold or Silver?: Silver, but I do wear gold sometimes.
H - Hometown: an hour up the motorway in Gloucester.
I - Insomnia: Not as a general rule.
J - Job Title: freelance writer, teacher, witchcraft shop owner.
K - Kids: Er, no.
L - Living arrangements: a house on Sedgemoor, plus man, lodger and various animals.
M - Mum's birthplace: near Windsor, England.
N - Number of significant others you've had: 3. I've been out with slightly more people than that, but it does say 'significant.'
O - Overnight hospital stays: once. Horse Girl is now fully recovered, however.
P - Phobia: Centipedes.
Q - Queer: Unfortunately not. Unfortunately, as turning bi might double my chances, but alas, I just can't get over a liking for men.
R - Religious Affiliation: Druid.
S - Siblings: none.
T - Time you wake up: as late as possible.
U - Unnatural hair colours you've had: silver.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: lotus root is disgusting.
W - Worst habit: nothing that I'm going to reveal on a public forum.
X - X-rays you've had: the usual (last time was for a broken rib). Partner is currently radioactive, however.
Y - Yummy: food, or men? Whatever.
Z - Zodiac sign: Pisces with Sagittarius ascendant. Thoroughly vapid but with an occasional uncontrollable urge to show off, in other words.
