You can learn a lot about someone by the music they listen to. Hit shuffle on your iPod or mp3 player and write down the first 20 songs. No cheating or skipping songs that are shameful. That is the fun!

| Ideas Light Up Your Life |
 You think it's interesting to imagine how the world could be. You are a daydreamer. You tend fly solo. You have a few good deep friendships, and that's all you need. You are a friendly and honest person. You're willing to give anyone a shot, no matter who they are. |

| Your Animal is the Crane |
 You may seem friendly and outgoing, but it's not the full picture. You prefer your own quiet company. You are a smart and talented person. You have an amazing set of skills. You are also quite reflective and thoughtful. You have a unique spirituality that is always growing. |

| You Have Air Hands |
 You are very intellectual and logical. You don't find emotional appeals compelling. You are surprisingly self-accepting and content. You're happy with who you are. You are confident and full of hope. You inspire others simply by being yourself. |

Take Which Doctor Who companion are you? (girls) today!

You're Romana!
Silly Doctor. It's adorable, really, how hard he tries. And he is pretty brilliant, you'll give him that. But he always seems to overlook the obvious--including the fact that he's not the only Gallifreyan onboard, thank you very much. You are always calm and collected, and more often than not wonderfully witty, in the face of adversity. The Doctor knows he can count on you, even when you infuriate him!

Candles, teddy bear, iPod, Eeyore coffee mug, silk kimono - How do you style your hair?
Wash, brush, tie back in pony tail - What are you wearing now?
PJ bottoms, rugby shirt - What's your occupation?
Layabout. Well some class me as that – actually long term sick. Medically we are starting to get things sorted, but my body keeps throwing other things in my path. - Name a favorite something (flower, rock, food, film, song, etc.) that you think no one knows?

Did a bit of housework, including a load of laundry, replaced one of my geocaches down by the river, called in at the docs to collect a script for my pain meds, and went to the supermarket - Favourite cupcake flavour?
Lemon with vanilla topping - If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?
I've changed my name once and I've no plan t change it again. - What was the last item that you bought (that wasn't food)?

Argh! Depends on mood. Might be Goth, might be classical, might be blues, might be folk. - Favourite novel?

Getting to the bottom of the seizures and getting them under control
Census meme.
2011 – Living in Northwich, on other side of town to frostfox have company in the form of Epona a cornsnake, who has a habit of hiding on or under a bookcase if I forget to lock her vivarium. Not working as a result of health issues, including seizures, severe chronic social anxiety (my middle name is not Philippa it's Panic), and arthritis. Currently in a 2 year old open relationship.
2001 – Living in Northwich, different house but still a rented Victorian terrace. House has a leaky bathroom roof and sheds slates in high winds. Owners constantly fail to deal with repairs to roof. Working for Motorola, heading towards alcoholism (didn't quite get there thankfully) as a means of coping. not long broken up from a 4 year relationship.
1991 – Living in Castle Bromwich, part time carerer for ailing Grandmother whilst holding down full time job at a pro audio-mixer manufacturer.
1981 – same 2 bed flat, not employed having not long moved to the area, but working as a volunteer at Tyseley Locomotive Works (as it is now).
1971 – Living in Gosforth, this year saw me finish primary school and start at Gosforth Grammar, where I became the target of bullying for being different.
1961 – Living in Benwell not far south of the course Hadrian's Wall. Parents were soon to split leaving me and my older sister in the care of our maternal Grandmother.

Gives frostfox a stare. Bit late in doing this for World Book Day
The book(s) I am reading:
My 'on the move' book - 'Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft' by Sir Walter Scott.
My home book - just finished 'Oath of Gold' by Elizabeth Moon.
The book I love most:
'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R Tolkien, the book that introduced me to fantasy, first read it about 1974.
The last book I received as a gift:
'Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens from Liz was bought for me when I was due to go into hospital for major surgery.
The last book I gave as a gift: 'The Unadulterated Cat' by Terry Pratchett. Essential reading (and giggling) for cat owners.
The nearest book on my desk: I'm in bed so no at the desk, but the nearest book to hand is 'Speeches of Oliver Cromwell'. Certain folks here abouts know of my favourite period of English History.

Your Dark Element is Earth |
 You are well grounded. You nurture and comfort everyone that you know. You are naturally diplomatic, but it isn't easy. You can be indecisive and contradictory at times. You work hard, but you also get discouraged. You can be withdrawn and moody. You tend to give so much to others that you forget to take care of yourself. |
