Here be the question and answer portion of our write-off:
-Birth date: June 11th
- Height: 5'9"ish
-Eye color: Brown but when they go black (and they do) run, run fast.
-Hair color: Reddish Brownish.
-What does your name mean: Psychovant?... err, I took it from the film High Art. Oh Shannon, it’s from the Shannon River, the longest river in Ireland. It is also composed of the Gaelic elements sean "old, wise" and abhann "river". So there.
-Favorite relatives: My sister, my Gram, and my cousin Wade.
-Summer memory: Kath, after graduation, I should have known (it’s all one event).
-Favorite TV shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (no more), Farscape (no more), Iron Chef (no more), Queer As Folk (possibly no more), Animal Precinct/Cops/Houston, Ab Fab, Powerpuff Girls, Red Dwarf, and Survivor. Should I take it as a hint that the few shows I love have gone buh-bye?
-What's on your mousepad: Uh... nada.
-In the car- ac or windows: Windows, gotta have the wind, always the wind.
-Do you believe in yourself: I believe I am here for some greater purpose than what I have managed to accomplish thus far.
-Favorite game: As in a board game?... Monopoly. Don’t even start me on computer games.
-Favorite drink: Water, spiced hot chocolate, true English tea, and Greenriver soda.
-Favorite food: Chicken Cacciatore, asparagus, all things Cajun/Creole, and my Gram’s potato soup.
-Favorite colors: Black and white checks (screw you, it’s not just a pattern, it’s a color too). I’m also good with bold colors of green, blue, and purple.
-Favorite cigarettes: Ciggs?... none. Cloves?... Jakarta.
-Favorite sounds: The rain, the ocean, the river (both physical and spiritual), frogs, the quiet during camping or a heavy snowfall, and my partner whispering she loves me... through it all.
-Favorite smell: Babies (human, puppies, kittens, goats...), good pipe tobacco, and Nag Champa incense.
-Favorite thing to do on a weekend: Anything with my family (gardening, horseback riding, walking with the pups...).
-Favorite soundtrack: Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence comes to mind rather quickly but I am sure there are others.
-Where do you see yourself in 10 years: On acreage, my partner with greenhouses of her own, with kids (ours and adopted), many aminals, and basically doing more good than harm in this world.
-First thought in the morning: Man, do I need to pee.
-Do you get motion sickness: Not as of yet.
-Roller coasters- deadly or exciting: Based on the rash of recent deaths I would logically say "deadly" but if you were asking me personally I would answer "exciting."
-How many rings before you answer the phone: Depends on who call screening says it is. ;)
-Are you a good friend: I‘d like to think I am as good of friend as mine are to me... and they are wonderful.
-Chocolate or Vanilla cake: Cake?... German Chocolate. Now, if you wanna talk pies...
-What do you drive: A wee little Ford Focus sedan.
-Do you sleep with a stuffed animal: Nope, I’ve got sumfin’ better.
-Thunderstorms cool or scary: Cool when my partner is home (I’m rawkin’ with the lightning), super cool when I’m not working on the golf course, and always a cool reason to go outside and just... be.
-If you could meet one person in the World, who would it be: One?... pshaw... Nelson Mandela... Maya Angelou... the Dalai Lama... The Wicked Witch of the West (screw Dorothy).
-What is your zodiac sign: The Twins.
-What do you wear to bed: Boxers and a tee, or boxers, or nada.
-Do you eat stems of broccoli: Gawd yes.
-Guys- If a girl ever asked you for the shirt on your back, would you give it to her? N/A
-Girls- Would you ever ask a guy for his shirt? Been there, done that, whatevva.
-If you could have any occupation when you get older, what would it be: If I had ever had the money at any time in my life I would be a teacher. I am still holding out hope. Otherwise, it’s not an occupation, but I hope to have a sensory garden at some point for disadvantaged people. Plants are amazing, you can convey texture, color, smell, and whatnot through them. Seriously try it, go sniff a rose REAL close, and after you have unhooked it from your nose tell me how it looked, smelled, and FELT. Otherwise I am told I should be a music editor on films.
-If you could dye your hair one color, what would it be: I’ve experienced most of them already. While I enjoyed blue I am content with the red I have.
-If you could have a tattoo, what and where would it be: Been there, got them... all over. At this moment in time my arm band is my fav... if you know me, you know what it is and you understand.
-Favorite brand of gum: Trident, cimmanemmanem. It’s a childhood thang.
-What is your favorite quote: The National Rifle Association says that, "Guns don't kill people, uh, people do." But I think, I think the gun helps. You know? I think it helps. I think just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it? You'd have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that. ~Eddie Izzard
-Have you ever been in love: Yes, and I thank my partner of 10 ½ years for allowing me to feel this emotion. I much prefer the feeling of being willing to die FOR someone rather than simply willing YOURSELF to die.
-What's on your walls in your room: Two spiritual prints from a local artist, one print from my partner’s sister encouraging her to dream, and one print from an artist I briefly met in Seattle. Oh, do plants on shelves count?
-Is the glass half-empty or half-full: I guess that would depend upon who’s glass we are speaking of now wouldn’t it?
-Which do you prefer- Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese Doritos: Neither.
-Favorite flavor Snapple: They make a pink lemonade don’t they?... truth be told, I’m a Sobe or Aquafina girl.
-Which one, Coke or Pepsi: Well, since Pepsi ain’t all to pleasant to family, I’d say Coke.
-Which kind of milk is your favorite: If it isn’t straight from the cow (hey, it’s cool when you shoot it at someone else, until your cow gets pissed, that is) I’m all about the strawberry Quick.
-If you were to kill someone, which method would you use? Sicilian relatives.
-Are you a righty, lefty, or ambidextrous: Ambidextrous but definitely stronger with my right.
-Do you type with your fingers on the right keys: *cackle* No.
-When you meet a person of the opposite sex, you notice their: Uhm, what they are saying I guess. Now with regard to chicks, voices, I have never been a physical attribute sorta gal. *shrug*
-What's under your bed: A dismantled bookcase that my partner is going to remove eventually (we’re going on two years now). I really don’t mind as it blocks out that pair of glowing red eyes that have resided there since we bought the house.
-What's the best number in the World: In my world?... 7, but then there is 11 and 13 too. I have a thing for odd numbers -- don't ask me why.

-Most humiliating moment: If I think long and hard I can remember a time when my mother’s car broke down with my sister and I in the back seat and a man came to help push the car to a station. He told her that if her son (me) would help him we could make it to the station easily. I never let my mother cut my hair again.
-Favorite Holiday: Halloween.
