1.Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Queen Victoria. Bob Dylan.

2. Where was your first kiss?

Ermmm…second floor pantry in the summer rest home for the blind. I was 4, I think. He was a year older. And neither of us was visually challenged*g*.

3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?

No

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?

Yes. But not lately.

5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?

No. Some things are just too evil to inflict on people. Even by me.

6. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?

Voice.
Hands. Overall build. Eyes, smile and nose.

7. What really turns you on?

Certain smells and timbres of voice. Contained power. Intelligent, smart people. People who know their way around horses *g*.

8. What do you order at Starbucks?

No Starbucks around where I live. But I drink coffee in any way I can get.

9. What is your biggest mistake?

Guilting over not being able to fix unfixable things.

10. Ever hurt yourself on purpose?

Yes.

11. Say something totally random about you.

I really like bread pudding.

12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?

No. And I don’t look like a bitch either, usually. That’s why I wear the T-shirt to give fair warning.

13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?

Yes, if I happen to land in front of a TV – which is not really often.

14. Did you have braces?

No. And it shows *g*

15. Are you comfortable with your height?

Yep. Shorter people are sometimes overlooked when it comes to handing out duties. I keep hoping that someday I will benefit this way too.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?

Depends on your definition of romance, I guess. Hmmm…stargazing in a graveyard or sex on a table at work..take your pick.

17. When do you know it's love?

Ask someone wiser than me. I can always only give it my best guess.

18. Do you speak any other languages?

Besides English? Estonian (which is my native language), Finnish, get by in Russian, very little Swedish.

19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?

No. I prefer getting my tan during my annual two-week lazing-around marathon in the summercabin.

20. What magazines do you read?

Besides professional veterinary ones? Ermm…let me think. Some doggy and horsey stuff. An occasional Cosmopolitan or FHM.

21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Yes.

22. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?

Yes. My mother’s father died when I was 11, and he was really a big influence on me during my childhood. I don’t really think anyone else in the family would have taught a 4 year old to play chess (which I have completely forgotten for now) or talk to her like she was grown-up or give her books like Hašek’s Švejk to read (the reading obsession is well and deeply rooted.) I still miss him like hell.

23. Do you watch MTV?

No. ‘cause I live in a goddamn dead zone spot with no cable and no satellite.

24. What's something that really annoys you?

Arrogant stupidity. Fanaticism. Deliberate ignorance.

25. What's something you really like?

Smells of coffee and stable. Sleeping late. This really good tiredness you get when you have managed to do your job well against an overwhelming odds. The adrenalin rush when jumping with a good horse…or when letting go and having a mad gallop over a pasture…or the holding-a-robin’s-egg-feeling when you really become one with a horse. Solid friendship. Cats in my lap. Those satiny skin places on a person you really really like that you can lick.

26. Do you like Michael Jackson?

Neither like nor dislike.

27. Can you dance?

Yes. In a way. I think.

28. What's the latest you have ever stayed up?

No longer than 48 hours. Honest.

29. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?

There’s usually never been time enough to think beforehand. Except perhaps when I got that nice myocarditis flavoured with arrythmia thing, but then I was mostly too tired to think coherently.

30. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?

Yes. You see, normal riders fall and break their collarbone or fibula. I fall on my head (or have a horse stamp on it) and start annoying people, by going into a double turbo mode (as opposed to the normal turbo mode) and asking what date it is.

31. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?

Ermmm….yes.
