Martha was supposed to give me 5 questions to answer, but I guess she still hasn't found two braincells to rub together (her excuse, in her words), so I thought I'd steal the questions she was asked and answer them myself.
1. What is your most irrational fear? Why?
That I will tumble down stairs I'm about to walk down. I think I read or heard that if you think about something it was more likely to happen (years ago, pre The Secret) and that was the example they used. Since then of course I haven't been able to stop myself from imagining me tumbling down as I approach stairs, it's become such a habit.

2. What's your favourite word?
Indubitably. George's favourite word is stanima.

3. If you could change one thing about yourself (physically or emotionally) what would it be?
I'd have a tattoo. Like have it already there, not actually have to go through the getting round to getting it, or the getting it.
4. What talent do you wish you possessed?
I'd like a really cool party trick - doesn't matter what, just something better than the double-jointed thumb I have...
5. Where would you live if you could live anywhere in the world?
Um here? It's cool to live here by choice, having lived in lots of other countries, including non-English-speaking ones.
And then I thought I'd steal the ones she posed to Pixie and answer those too:
1. What direction in life didn't you take when you were 18?
I didn't stay in Europe (where my parents and younger sisters still were) after a year au-pairing with a French-speaking family, but came back to New Zealand to go to university. I knew this is where I wanted to live.
2. What talent are you particularly proud of?
My ability to connect with children.
3. What is your favourite thing with pasta?
My mondo bizarro sauce. We had for dinner again tonight. It's the only way to keep our silverbeet from growing out of control. Obviously, I make mine with silverbeet, not spinach, although I made lots with spinach until the spinach went to seed anyway.
4. Red or white?
Red. Pinot noir. Yum.
5. Who is your favourite actor?
We're supposed to have a favourite actor? Um - I've always had a thing for Drew Barrymore, although not because of her movies really. Although she has been in some cute movies.
Hey, if you all leave me one question to answer, we may be able to save Martha from wasting her braincells on coming up with 'em! (But you have to ask me one, OK Martha?)

Oh. Martha pointed out that you couldn't leave comments on this post. What was that about? Is "don't allow comments" the default setting now? I mean I didn't change anything.
Anyhow, her question is:
Sultana Bran or Weetbix? Why?
Neither. I hate cereal. Especially soggy cereal. Bleah.
I like your questions and answers; perhaps I'll steal one or two of them for myself.
My question is: who is your favourite (or least disliked) Wiggle, and why?
LOL Violet, you are such a mother of a toddler.
Now I need to come up with a question.
Where would your tattoo be and what would it be of?
Mine is: What is your most vivid memory of your first week (or two) after leaving home? (i.e. Leaving your parents' home and striking out on your own.)
