marnanelAre there any words you can't stand the sound of?
No, not really. I think each word has its own special beauty and is useful in its own place. I don't have the revulsion to words like moist that some people claim to have. Even a word like phthisis (presumably the source of "phtheezles" in Christopher Robin), though a name for a horrible thing, has its own strange beauty as a word.
If you are a colour, which colour are you?
Orange on some days, black on others.
What is your comfort food?
Hm. In this country, gummy bears and milk chocolate. In England, probably jelly babies, pickled onions, licorice allsorts, softgrain bread, and milk chocolate.
Do you consider yourself comfortable in your own skin?
Not really. I tend to think it's rather ugly skin, covered with plaque as it is. But a friend of mine took some pictures of it to show me it could be beautiful, and sometimes I look at them in order to remember.
Tell me something true.
The Scottish parliament has the legal ability under the Scotland Act to raise or lower income tax by 3%. This is theoretically called the Tartan Tax, but the power has never been used. (I'm not sure whether this is the sort of thing you were looking for.)
