Avocado

Favourite drink?

[Neko]

BEER!!!!!

DO you have a favourite sort of pasta (I mean the shape or possibly the ones with stuff in the middle of them,etc)?

[Suz]

Love any Jack Johnson, such a cool guy ;)

What's a funny/annoying/silly thing your family does?

[K]

My family can sadly be quite bigoted and it makes me angry, because one the most important things to me is equality and I think that we should all accept and celebrate each other's differences. I get pretty angry at them these days.

What issues are important to you?

[Vicki]

The environment, green energy, racism, discrimination, marriage equality, justice... and many more.

Same question: What issues are important to you?

[K]

They are the same as your's Vicki. One more I also care about is Breed Specific Legislation. I don't believe that banning dog breeds is the answer to stopping bites and attacks. Rather, education is. I wish governments would stop targeting the poor pit bull type breeds- or any dog that they think looks like a Pit. I have met many Pits in my life who were the most beautiful dogs you could ever meet.

[K]

What was your fave subject at school?

[★ Jess]

English or drama. History was good too.

Have you ever overcome a fear, if so, what and how?

Have you ever overcome a fear, if so, what and how?"

A fear of flying. A workmate's husband is into alternative medicines and treatments. He taught me a mind calming technique along with doing some tapping technique called EFT. Was extremely skeptical but went from needing Valium to getting on a plane to actually laughing and sharing a joke with my husband.

Other than reading what hobby do you do?

[K]

I love writing, listening to music and travelling and I love TV series. Proper, scripted storytelling ones.

What is a recurring dream you have?"

The only recurring one I have is a nightmare - I'm out walking and there are snakes everywhere I try to step. A bit like that scene from Indiana Jones.

Gardening. I know some absolutely love it. Stick a needle in my eye, it would be more fun.

It's gonna be 31 degrees here in Melbourne today. Favourite thing to do in perfect weather?

[K]

My idea of perfect weathering below 25 degrees, so if it is 31 or Morris tend to hide away in my home. When it is cooler, I become more lively and I love going for drives and discovering new places.

A word you have difficulty spelling?

[Suz]

Not a spelling thing but a recurring childhood thing. When I write down the word milk I always leave out the letter 'l' and have to fix it every time. Weird.

How often do you sit down or lay down to read and you end up here on GR instead?

[E.A.]

I do that (not with Milk) but I fall into a pattern. I used to work for IBM and Bank with IMB and found it impossible to write the bank down without jumbling the letters. And there are other; but than I match peg on the clothes line as well. - Erin

[Neko]

E.A - What is your question?

[Suz]

I'll add mine again as it didn't get answered ;)

How often do you sit down to read but get sidetracked here on GR instead?
