well, they asked...

well, i've gotten 2 of these in the recent last bit, so i guess they're all the rage again. oh goody. so before you send me yours, desperate to know all about me, here it all is for your dining pleasure. (oh, and incase you're wondering why the numbers are wonky, i deleted the n/a (who's most likely to respond...) and fused the two.)

1. First name: kaen
2. Were you named after anyone?: my great-grandmother kathleen (who incidentally was not irish, but first nations)
3. Do you wish on stars?: all the time
4. When did you last cry?: about 20 minutes ago

6. What is your favorite lunch meat? (shrug)
7. What is your birth date:? may 6 (zip it you...)

14. Where is your second home: where's my first home?
15. Do you trust others too easily?: yep
16. What was your favourite toy as a child:? wow, i can't remember. i know i had fashion plates and loved them. i have a picture of me lovingly cradling a chewbacca doll, and i continue to have a special fondness for wookies. but you know, it was probably my pillow. my pillow was my favouritest of all inanimate things and it diverted me much as a "toy" would...
17. What class in high school do you think was totally useless: interesting question... i guess i could answer with the one i've not really used, math, but i think even a basic introduction to the one language all humans can speak is very very valuable, even if we're too stupid to appreciate math for all its power and beauty

24. Do you think that you are strong:? as in body? yea, pretty much. as in soul? only sometimes.

42. Hair Colour:? at the tips: faded black with red streaks, at the (now very long) roots, dark brown with a fabulous family of greys near the crown that i love very much. which is why i still haven't re-dyed my hair.
