Being ignored/not taken seriously.
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Dreamer

Re: Since we're just getting acquainted...
no subject
02) To write.
03) Being able to speak more than one language.
04) Probably Archers and lemondade.
05) I eat more of peas than anything else (they go with almost anything and they're frozen so they don't go off while I forget I have them for two weeks), but my favourite is cucumber.
06) Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
07) Cancer.
08) I have two piercings, one in the centre of each earlobe.
09) Biting my nails.
10) I'm not strong enough to piggyback anyone over the age of five, I can't ride a bike and I can't drive, so I'm afraid not.
11) Um. Out of all the sports my dad regularly watches, cricket bores me the least.
12) Generally optimistic, I'd say. I believe that things will work out in the end.
13) Probably drive you insane ;)
14) Er. Waiting in a queue in the playground, I got pushed into the back of the girls in front of me, who then proceeded to systemically persecute me for the next year, becoming the nastiest and most frightening bullies in my ten years in school?
15) I have never been abroad? I have a brother who is close enough in age and dissimilar enough in looks (except if you focus on the chin/mouth area) to be mistaken for my boyfriend? I keep my MP3 player volume on an even number? I don't know the definition of weird in this context?
16) No. My dad was owned by a cat until she died when I was three, but she disliked me (as she did all females who attempted to supplant her in my dad's affections).
17) You would be made very welcome. Would you have come to watch my DVD of The Chase complete with Beatles?
18) :) You were a very nice person with good taste in ships.
19) After that SJA story? Scary.
20) I'd get rid of my pot belly.
21) Probably your conscience.
22) Hazel. They're brown around the iris, and green-gold outside that. I only noticed this last year, when I was lying in bed in the dark and playing around with my camera phone. I've always known that's my colour of my brother's eyes, but I always thought mine were just brown (like my mother's, as opposed to my father's). Actually, maybe they used to be. I swear there was more brown in there where I first noticed then there appears to be now. (There is precedent: apparently my eyes changed colour from grey to brown overnight when I was six months old.) Or I might just be rubbish at noticing eye colours: my best friend and I had known each other for ten years when I suddenly noticed that her eyes, which I had believed to be brown, were blue. Although they seemed green last time I looked. Maybe it's all a matter of light. /rambling in response to a question that required a one word answer.
23) No.
24) Bottle. You can do it up and put it away.
25) Buy everything I've wanted and haven't been able to afford for the last year and a half; buy my mum a Mother's Day present (currently I am excused from present buying because I should not spend any unnecessary money, though I ignore it for Christmas and birthdays); set aside whatever the equivalent of £3000 is, to cover the rent for the spare room we will have next year, enabling us not to have to move (we are happy here! It is a good house, a good place!) and stick whatever might be left in my bank account.
26) Um, our living room.
27) Yes.
28) Go on the Internet.
29) I don't casually litter my sentences with them. My most used words are 'bloody' and 'hellfire', usually expressing annoyance, with stronger words reserved for painful accidents.
30) The possessive being used when the plural is meant (it's 'teas and coffees', not 'tea's and coffee's)!
31) Odd.
32) Sure.
33) Out of everything? Um...toad in the hole. And liver, in liver and bacon casserole.
34) I have a teaspoon and an open mind. I'd like to think there's something. It might be something that we have created through belief rather than the other way around. It makes me feel very lonely in a vast darkness to consider nothingness. Surely we are too remarkable to be purely biological creatures that just die, and entirely cease to exist? :(
35) Sure.
no subject
I hate that! I hate that so much! *rages*

You don't have to hide under a rock for that. Everybody thinks that. Even if they met us after she got married. Even if they know she's married.
