solosundance and then by snailbones and now it's my turn:
1. Are you named after someone?
My middle name is after my father's dancing teacher. My parents couldn't think of what to call me.
2. When was the last time you cried?
Not sure - some time in the last few weeks.
3. Do you like your handwriting?
It's okay - sometimes illegible.
4. What is your favourite lunch meat?
Ignoring the discussion regarding luncheon meat, the square tin and the key that regularly broke, I'll go for cold meat from a roast. Not the thin stuff you buy from a delicatessen, but what's left after Sunday dinner.
5. Do you have any kids?
Two.
6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
On the basis the world really doesn't want two of me I see no point in answering.
