...because I haven't done one of these in a while. Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] milochka


Spell your first name backwards:
eniluap

The story behind your lj user name:
My usual fannish name, that just happens to be my initials.

Describe yourself in four words:
Patient, stroppy, stubborn, curious

Wallet:
Black leather, bought at the Portobello Road market in London. And conveniently has two bills compartments for when I'm travelling to different countries.

Hairbrush:
Barely need one. I've got really short hair.

Jewelry worn daily:
Three stainless steel horseshoe earrings; one sterling silver snake ring based on a Han dynasty bronze incense burner and designed for me by a friend who's a jeweller.

Coffee cup:
I don't use 'em for coffee, but a white and blue dragon mug from Chinatown and a Bodie Pros mug I snagged at ZCon.

Sunglasses:
Chunky, funky blue frames, bought from the Temple Street night market in Hong Kong.

Underwear:
Blue cotton string bikinis.

Handbag:
Not really a handbag, but a blue canvas-y bag from Mountain Equipment Co-op.

Favourite shirt:
Black, long-sleeved, buttondown shirt with a Man from UNCLE logo embroidered on the pocket.

Cologne/perfume:
Perfume gives me migraines.

Tattoos:
One. Right wrist. Celtic knot.

Piercings:
One in the left ear, two in the right. (I'm not a big fan of symmetry.)

What you are wearing now:
Black turtleneck, striped grey and brown vest, brown pants.

Makeup:
Hardly ever. Except for the occasional fancy dress party.

In my mouth:
Teeth and tongue.

In my head:
Sometimes I wonder...

After this:
Capture some footage for my next vid. Then off to see Tom Verlaine play live accompaniment to some silent movies. Whee!

Talking to:
No one.

Eating:
Nothing right now.

If you could get away with it and murder anyone, who and for what reason?:
Ya know, I'd like to be one of those people that says killing is wrong under any circumstance, but then George W. ends up on the front of the newspaper and I get pissed off all over again.

What's next to you:
My vidding headphones, a shelf of dictionaries and word books, my pen holder and the remote for my vidding VCR.

Some of your favourite movies:
Lawrence of Arabia, The Three Musketeers (70s version), The Killer, Withnail and I, Scaramouche, Spartacus

Something you're looking forward to in the upcoming month:
Stretching it a bit, MediaWest.

Something that you are deathly afraid of:
Bugs. Ick.

Do you like candles?:
Yup.

Do you like incense?:
See the "perfume gives me a migraine" answer. Though I love sandalwood incense. In theory.

Do you like the taste of blood?:
Uh, yeah. Is that weird?

Do you believe in love?:
Yes. Though I didn't always.

Do you believe in soul mates?:
Yes. But I'm not entirely convinced that there's only one for each of us.

Do you believe in love at first sight?:
I know it's irrational, but yeah, I do.

Who is your worst enemy?:
Fear.

If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be?:
A cat. I've always been a cat person, and I'm just waiting for my lifestyle to change enough that it would be reasonable to have one again.

What are five cities you wouldn't mind relocating to?:
Chicago, San Francisco, London, Hong Kong, Wellington

What are some of your favourite pig out foods?:
This is going to be boring, since bad-for-me foods now make me deathly ill, but pretzels and garlic stuffed green olives. Especially the olives. Yum.

What's something you wish you could understand better?:
Cantonese.

I love your Pros vids, esp. "Until It Sleeps." Looking forward to your Pros panel at this year's Media West.
