alixandreaFrom The Lady Lily...
:x: name = Alixandrea Corvyn
:x: piercings = Two in left ear, one in right. Nose stud, tongue stud, ring in navel, bar in right nipple (vertical.)
:x: tattoos = Purple thorny rose on left shoulder, ivy-woven celtic knotwork band around upper left arm.
:x: height = Depends on what boots I'm wearing. Naked feet? 5ft 3ins.
:x: shoe size = 5 1/2 - 6
:x: hair color = Currently red white and blue (guess my allegiances? How about being on my _own_ side...?)
:x: length = waist-ish. Its just been cut so a little above probably. There are a lot of shorter bits that have been bleached a few too many times too...
:x: siblings = none in the biological sense. One in the blood-brother sense. I'll probably never see him again and I miss him like crazy. :-(
LAST...
:x: movie you rented = Umm... Can't remember TBH. Erik's collection (combined with mine) is plenty enough, and if we want to watch a movie, we generally look for it on special offer in FOPP...
:x: movie you bought = Matrix:Revolutions for Erik for his birthday.
:x: song you listened to = Actually _listened_ to? Mental 12 - Skelliga. We played it last in the set last night.
:x: song that was stuck in your head = Some random pop song I heard in Barratts while getting my new Boots Of D00m (tm). Thanx baby! :-)
:x: cd you bought = I don't often buy CDs. I've been pirating music since long before the whole Napster issue, mainly by listening to other people's record collections and getting people to record stuff for me. It broadens my musical horizons. TBH, I can't remember the answer to this one!
:x: cd you listened to = Something in the 'bus on the way home from Nottingham. Probably HIM or something...
:x: person you've called = Frank Flag regarding a last minute gig. :-)
:x: person that's called you = Probably Frank as well. (Both these answers forget the fact I answer the 'phone for a living. Customers don't count...)
:x: tv show you've watched = Channel 4 News (Mikey's in the shit again, and Bush is still a wanker - with a script this time...)
:x: person you were thinking of = Tas, see above.
DO...
:x: you have a bf or gf = I have one very lovely viking-kitten. :-)
:x: you have a crush on someone = I've _always_ got at least one crush. To me, it's as natural as breathing... ;-)
:x: you wish you could live somewhere else = I'd love to live in Brighton, or Edinburgh, or in the back of a great big tourbus that I could take anywhere in the world I wanted to go. Currently, Cambridge is where my band and baby are. So Cambridge is where I will stay at least for now...
:x: you think about suicide = rarely anymore. Sometimes when things get too much and I start to despair of ever getting out of the humdrum... Last time I was actually suicidal though was nearly a year ago. :-)
:x: you believe in online dating = If I hadn't got my computer and an internet connection, I wouldn't be sitting here now, in my room in our flat. :-)
:x: others find you attractive = Apparently so, although the attention is more apparent when I've just freshly dyed my hair... ;-)
:x: you want more piercings = Ooh yes! Possibly another in the same nipple, I definitely want a madonna, and also would really love to get my prepuce done as well. :-)
:x: you drink = Yes, but not as much as I used to.
:x: you do drugs = I've tried mushrooms, but I go all Stephen King on them, so I don't do them any more. Occasionally I smoke pot. I've taken MDMA twice before but both times not enough to get me noticeably high. I'm a wimp, sue me...
:x: you smoke = Very occasionally. I don't see the point of plain cigarettes, but I do like a but of pot, aromatic tobacco, and clove cigarettes (specifically menthol cloves...)
:x: you like cleaning = I fucking hate it. :-\
:x: you like roller coasters = Loadsa fun. As Glen pointed out last night, I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie...
:x: you write in cursive or print = Depends on who I want to be able to read it. If its just for me, I'll always write in cursive, and I much prefer that. If its for anyone else to read, I always print in block capitals. Years of job application form filling...
:x: you carry a donor card = I had one, but I'm not sure where it is. I'm on the register anyway. After all, I have no use for my organs after I die...
FOR OR AGAINST...
:x: long distance relationships = I can't cope with them, there needs to be the physicality. Reason two I said 'no' to uber-cute Texan Goth kid I knew. Reason one? He was 15... ;-)
:x: using someone = Totally against if its to their detriment. If you both use each other in a good way to pull yourselves up together, then that's a good thing. Kinda like the exercise where two people sit on the floor facing one another, feet together, hands linked, and then they pull against one another. This pulls them both to their feet. If it's mutual and beneficial, then fine, go ahead. Trouble is, it generally isn't...
:x: killing people = Against. There should never be reason enough to kill someone, in whatever situation. If it's kill-or-be-killed, at least try all the other options and avenues available to you first...
:x: teenage smoking = I don't agree with it, but since they're going to do it anyway, I figure let them get on with it and make their own minds up. They could be doing much worse things...
:x: premarital sex = Heh! This is the argument I have nearly had so many times with one of the guys at work (26 and still a virgin, if I weren't in a relationship I would be sorely tempted to sleep with him just out of spite. This isn't blatant anti-male-ism, he truly deserves it... ;-) ) Anyway, I think, you can't truly know someone until you've known them in every single possible way, including sexually. What if they're a crap shag? What if they do something really disgusting or disturbing when they come (insert DAAS rant here)? And don't _even_ get me started on how little I agree with marriage itself...! ;-P
:x: driving drunk = I did it once, stupidly, to get myself and friends out of a bad situation. I basically drove us two miles up the road to get us away from the situation, (I did have to go back a second time, there were a lot of friends and only a little Mini.) Once we were safe, I refused to move the car until I was sober, it was the most horrible experience of my life. I couldn't keep my offside wheels off the central white line, and was absolutely _terrified_. Needless to say this was _very_ early on in my driving career, and a mistake I have _never_ duplicated...
:x: gay/lesbian relationship = If you're not hurting anyone (directly or indirectly) go ahead, its your life and I'm easy with that... ;-)
FAVORITE...
:x: food = Peanut butter.
:x: song = Too many to count, but I guess Rock and Roll Dreams - Jimmy Steinman (but of course!) and No Forgiveness - Skelliga are two of my current fav.s
:x: thing to do = "Look like an angel, dance like a demon, scream like a banshee." Onstage, with my band.
:x: thing to talk about = anything and everything, as long as it's intelligent, and nothing to do with computers...
:x: sports = Cycling/swimming/rollerskating. I don't go for team games...
:x: drink = Currently peppermint tea, juice (pretty much any juice), vodka and juice, red wine, framboise, kriek and smoked Belgian beer (its written in an illegible font on the bottle, but its name sounds like Schlenkerla). And of course the perennial water. I like my fluids... ;-)
:x: clothes = Wedding dresses. Nice boots. :-)
:x: movies = Oh Gods where to start? Look at Erik's movie collection OK? ;-)
:x: band/singer = Skelliga/Jim Steinman (plus about a million others...)
:x: holiday = Strawberry Fair. Its close to my birthday, and it heralds the beginning of summer. :-)
HAVE YOU...
:x: ever cried over a guy/girl? = Yeah, who hasn't...?
:x: ever lied to someone? = 'Fraid so. No excuses, it just happens sometimes. I try to make it as infrequent and 'justified' as possible though... :-\
:x: ever been in a fist fight? = No, although I have been hit/nearly hit a couple of times by bullies, and I've wanted to hit some people before...
:x: ever been arrested? = Not yet. Its bound to happen someday... *Dons crusty garb*
NUMBER...
:x: of times I have been in love = Too many times to count when I have loved. But _in_ love? Umm - I think 5 or 6.
:x: of times I have had my heart broken = 3 by lovers. Once by my father. Once by my own fault over Tas.
:x: of hearts I have broken = Possibly one or two along the way.
:x: of girls I have kissed = Snogged? 4 or 5 I think.
:x: of boys I have kissed = As above? *Shrugs* 15 or so?
:x: of people I would classify as true, could trust with my life friends = 2, maybe 3.
:x: of people I consider my enemies = I don't consider myself to have enemies per se. People I don't like, people I don't agree with, family, yes. Actual out-and-out enemies? no.
:x: of times my name has appeared in the newspaper = Never mine specifically as far as I know (Skelliga have been there a couple of times), although I am in a book about Great Ormond Street Hospital that was written when I was about 5. :-)
:x: of scars on my body = A couple on my legs from shaving with inadequate razors. 2 on my knee, the first a skating scar, the second after the flat-warming I held when I moved to Cambridge. One on my left arm, and another on my left shoulder, both from blood-letting when Ross and I were into that sort of thing. One on my chin from where I fell off my bike when I was a kid. And several behind my ear from the face-lift I had when I was 9, and the ear re-shape at 13. :-)
:x: of things in my past that I regret = Too many things. Best not to dwell, life's too short.
FAVORITE...
:x: disney movie = Disney sux, but if I had to, I would choose Beauty and the Beast or Shrek.
:x: scent = Woodsmoke, crushed grass, river smell, damp earth, cannabis being burned, roses, clove cigarettes...
:x: word = Skelliga (duh! ;-P)
:x: nickname = Lexi (one of the volunteers at the BHF used to call me this). 'Ace of Spades' (favourite school nickname that was _supposed_ to be derogatory...)
:x: eye color = I love eyes that change colour according to light or mood, especially those that can never make their mind up... :-)
:x: flower = Roses of course... @>-->-->----
:x: piercing = Tongue. I'd love to experience adept use of a genital piercing but passed up the opportunity when I had it... ;-)
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE...
:x: pretty = Occasionally.
:x: funny = My drummer seems to think I'm hilarious...
:x: hot = Sometimes
:x: friendly = Generally
:x: amusing = See above comment about drummer...
:x: ugly = Whenever I'm having a bad day. Especially when I'm due on...
:x: loveable = Not as much as I'd like to be...
:x: pessimistic = Sometimes.
:x: optimistic = See above.
:x: caring = Sometimes too much...
:x: sweet = Occasionally
:x: dorky = Probably
RANDOM...
:x: Spell your first name backwards : aerdnaxila
:x: The story behind your user name: See here. Question 3.
:x: Are you straight?: I will find whoever I like attractive, no matter what sex, race, colour or creed they are. I just generally seem to tend towards white males. Not always, but generally. My first female kiss was with a chinese girl I met in a club, and I could have fulfilled one of my wishes with a rather beautiful 'half-cast' boy I used to know. But I didn't. Oh well, never mind. :-)
:x: 4 words that sum you up: Angel, demon, banshee, scared.
WHO or WHAT (was/is/are) -
:x: In my mouth = Mixed nuts. before that, broccoli (I love broccoli...) and roast yam with various speciality sausages - buffalo and boar I believe... I'm not entirely veggie, I just won't eat meat unless I know where it comes from.
:x: Fetishes = Wedding dresses.
:x: Person you wish you were with = Well, Erik's in the next room watching football, so I think I'll leave him to it. I'd love to be with two people I no longer talk to because I miss them both, even if one of them is crazy and both probably hate me. But that's not going to happen because neither are talking to me, both are some way away and one in particular seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth.
:x: Something you're looking forward to in this up coming month = Gigging at The Junction on Thursday. Possible giggage also in the last-minute pipeline...
:x: Something that you are deathly afraid of? = Failure.
:x: name = Alixandrea Corvyn
:x: piercings = Two in left ear, one in right. Nose stud, tongue stud, ring in navel, bar in right nipple (vertical.)
:x: tattoos = Purple thorny rose on left shoulder, ivy-woven celtic knotwork band around upper left arm.
