beetigerI'm feeling responsive, rather than creative, and reclusive, rather than social, so I will spend my lunch break doing
* Spell your first name backwards - ikciv
*The story behind your lj user name – bumblebee was taken. The character Bumblebee, my primary furry persona, is a dryad in the form of a tigress who also functions as a beehive and bee queen.
*Are you a lesbian – If you think that one’s sexual orientation is defined by who one sleeps with, then I’m a lesbian more or less on alternate weekends and school holidays. Otherwise, I’m more in the pansexual mode. (Yes, I like cookware.)
*Where do you live – The dreaded godawful suburbs of New York, in a house with yellow siding, and the most wonderful apple trees.
*4 words that sum you up – Coo coo ca choo
*Wallet – I keep making a small one with just a few things in it, but it always expands to bursting, and I can still never find my driver’s license quickly enough.
*Hairbrush – About four of them, scattered around the house. I misplace them when I travel. They are full of hair, since mine seems to prefer being in them to on my head.
*Toothbrush – Probably should be replaced.
*Jewelry worn daily – A diamond engagement/wedding ring, a watch with a loose clasp, a two-thousand-year-old Roman talisman.
*Pillow cover – About sixteen of them, some of them in matching sizes to the pillows. I like pillows.
*Blanket – Mine! All mine! Including yours! If there are not enough, I will pull my bedpartners or any random items on top of me for warmth.
*Coffee cup – Pottery, made by Sythyry, on my desk. Occasionally I even put coffee in it.
*Sunglasses – An old prescription, which makes me dizzy while it protects my eyes. I prefer sunhats.
*Underwear – Bikinis and thongs in bright cotton prints. I like to be festive.
*CD in stereo right now – On Yoolis Night, Anonymous 4, in the car.
*Tattoos – In my mind, there is a complicated image of two snakes twining around a flowering staff, the crescent moon caught in its branches. It belongs on my back, at the kundalini spot, but unless the right artist begs me to do it, the activation energy to commit may never be high enough. The modified plan which may actually get past my chickenshit level soon is a small bee on my ankle.
*Piercings – Just the ears. I prefer to find other ways of being holy.
*What you are wearing now – Purple and black print skirt I bought in the airport in New Delhi, to use up the rest of my rupees. A black velvet shirt with long sleeves. A pendant which is supposed to be a tree with a malachite stone at its base but which actually looks like an alien with a green nose when worn over dark clothing.
*Hair – Should I chop it off and donate it to Locks of Love to make wigs for sick children, or will short hair just make my own hair loss more noticeable and pathetic?
*Makeup – Rarely. But when I do, it’s tiger stripes, or big swaths of glitter eyeshadow and dark purple lips. Fuck subtlety.
WHO or WHAT (was/is/are)
*In my mouth – Birthday cookies, massive structural things in pink and white and gold, sweet enough to put your teeth on edge but actually really good.
*In my head – Half formed visions and random distractions, a memory of the taste of tiny sweet Korean fish.
*Wishing –To figure out what I want from life.
*After this – get back to work, which is sort of why they pay me.
*Talking to – My husband and a new friend I met at a poly munch, both on Yahoo!
*Eating – Oh, good idea! It’s lunchtime! Whatever they have in the cafeteria…hold on…chicken with artichokes and capers, and potatoes.
*Fetishes – I have an intelligence fetish, and a thing for trees.
*If you could get away with it and murder anyone, who would it be and for what reason – Probably not. But if I did, it would be a stranger. I’d do it to see what it felt like.
*Person you wish you could see right now – A person who no longer is in this world, and another that is not yet in this world .Really, I’d like to introduce them to each other.
*Is next to you – The table of random food and female gossip lunching. I have closed my office door.
*Some of your favorite movies – Tampopo, Sixth Sense, Dracula.
*Something you're looking forward to in the upcoming month – Fires, and candles, and sleep.
*The last thing you ate – A bite of chicken, 3 seconds ago.
*Something that you are deathly afraid of – Being completely unremembered when I die.
*Do you like candles – Oh yes. I love them! Wax and fire and nice smells, where could you go wrong? It is a good thing I like them, because every time someone does nto know what to get me for a present, they get me decorator candles.
*
Do you like hot wax - Yes. It is appealing and useful. But do not use painted candles, the paint gets too hot.
*Do you like incense – I do, especially loose resinous incense. However, I have notoriously bad luck with charcoal, it will rarely light for me, even the good brands.
*Do you like the taste of blood – Yes, in small quantities. Blood sausage is really yucky though.
*Do you believe in love – Yes. I also believe in Love. I am saddened by people who do not believe in love.
*Do you believe in soul mates – I think the idea is ludicrous. But I have experienced it.
*Do you believe in love at first sight – I believe in immediate, deep connection between people. Transforming that into actual love takes a bit longer, but can happen.
*Do you believe in Heaven – Not in any literalist sense, no.
*Do you believe in forgiveness - Passionately. Though I am not always the quickest to offer it.
*Do you believe in God – Yes. The question is, of course whether She believes in me.
*What do you want done with your body when you die – Offer the good stuff to someone who needs it. Burn the rest and plant a tree over it.
*Who is your worst enemy – Someone who hates me for what I am, but has completely failed to communicate it to me, so I don’t know who it is.
*If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be – A pair of otters, and the pond to house them.
*What is the latest you've ever stayed up – I’ve watched a full 24 hour turn of the clock.
*Ever been to Belgium – I think so, but I could be getting it confused with somewhere else. Love the waffles.
*Can you eat with chopsticks – In a sort of spazzy, lefthanded way, yes.
*What's your favorite coin – An 1897 Indian Head penny I got given in my change once at Kinko’s.
*What are some of your favorite candy – Thai plum candies, which are sweet and sour and hot all at the same time. Anything that has chocolate and bitter orange together. Marzipan.
*What's something that you wish people would understand – What is is I am trying to say when something bizarre comes out of my mouth instead.
*What's something you wish you could understand better – What about me makes people like or dislike me.
*What's one thing you want to make happen for tomorrow – I want to make the ingredients I am waiting for clear customs. I want to make six undernourished snakes eat. I want to make someone laugh.
