Ok, I've been tagged by Northern with this 20 things thingy (that was a lot of things!) so here goes (I think they are really boring, but there you are)
1. I have to take my piercings out to do my fieldwork as I cant have any metal near me, at all. Explaining this to my supervisor for the first time was not much fun
2. I was Ratty in the wind in the willows at school
3. Moths scare me but I think woodlice are really cool
4. I dont think you really know someone until you have slept in the same room/bed as them
5. I once had carpet burn on my top lip
6. and no-one believed it got there innocently
7. Ive enjoyed being restrained as long as I can remember but if the wrong person does it or even touches me Ill lay them out
8. This list and my profile are way more honest than I am with 95% of people I knowwhy is it easier to be me online?
9. My favourite place on earth is the West Coast of Scotland, Ardnamurchan in particular. Thinking about how beautiful it is makes me cry.
10. I never know where to put apostrophes or how to spell words with ie or ei in them.
11. I used to want to be a Jedi and part of me still hopes that there is magic/the force/ something like that in the world.
12. I have a fondness for newts, lizards and geckos and make regular trips to our urban wildlife sanctuary as the have really rare crested newts.
13. I had a pet rat named Kaliban, and I miss him lots.
14. I hate aubergines. I saw a famous picture of a woman who had one for a body and her pockets were slits that were bleeding when I was small and now they freak me out. Lots. More than moths.
15. I love mushrooms but they make me sick.
16. I play roleplaying games (not just in the bedroom)- you know, dungeons and dragons, stuff like that. Mondays and Fridays Im a vampire (different ones!), and on Wednesdays Im either a samuri or a pirate or a werewolf or a human high fantasy hero (well scoundrel is more like it) depending on what we are playing.
17. I fell in love my best friend and his female cousin all in the same summer when I was 14. Not much fun, as totally unreciprocated.
18. I like to smell people I love; smell is a really powerful component of my memory and so if Ive missed someone the first thing Ill do is smell the side of their neck.
19. Thunderstorms set my heart going and make me feel all wild. There are times when I feel on the brink of something amazing and terrifying and storms can bring this on in me.
20. My very best friend in all the world calls me her flame haired little cherub, and I dont mind in the slightest!
well you kept reading! Well done
Off to see pirates now! Yay - Kiera Knightly and Johnny Depp.... joy!!!!

Okay, if we ever meet, I'll make sure I scrub really hard, cuz I'll be worried about how I smell.
You keep making me look up words, like aubergine. Sometimes it's hard to remember we both speak the same language.
How did you get carpet burn on your lip?
Your piercing is located where?
Being restrained is a lot of fun done by the right person, but there's a huge issue of trust - that's what makes it so thrilling when you trust them.
Hey, a great "20 things", btw. A few ruminations...
1) How come? Does your fieldwork have to do with magnetic resonance imaging, or somesuch....pls explain.....
3) They're like mini trilobites. A little peice of the pre-cambrian era right in your own backyard, eh?
4) Agreed, and 5 & 6, no i don't beleive it was innocent either!
9) I'm with you on that. Although I think the Himalayas just shade it for me in the natural beauty stakes. But it's a close one, alright.
16) Me to. I'm a ninth level half-elf ranger. Female, natch. My stats are: Str 13; Int 17; Wis 19; Con 18; Dex 14; chr 14. They're my stats in real life, too.
17) Phew, a complex triangle!
18) Me too.
19) Y'wee force of nature!
Have a great break, spk soon,
Mark.
