1. Elaborate on your default icon.
It's a golden pheasant. Seeing one stepping through an English woodland is quite a surprise!



2. What's your current relationship status?
Married.

3. Ever have a near-death experience?
No, but I did come fairly close to death when I was in hospital four years ago.

4. Name an obvious quality you have.
Would it be terribly arrogant to say "intelligence"?

5. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
"Don't Stop Me Now", by Queen.

Nicole Kidman?

Psychstace?

No, don't think so.

9. Do you wear a watch? What kind?
Yes - Accurist, battery-powered, analogue.

10. Do you have anything pierced?
No (except for my arms for all-too-frequent blood tests and IVs).

No!

A book on ABE books.

My dad.

17. What is on your desktop background?
At home, the afore-mentioned golden pheasant. At work, nothing right now (am I boring or what?)

Yes, lots.

22. What was the last movie you watched?

Hmm... I haven't read any Wodehouse in ages. I should rectify that omission this weekend.

Did you take the golden pheasant photo yourself?

No, alas - since I've been "into" photography, I haven't been at my parents' as much, and haven't seen any golden pheasants in the wild.

We did see some, along with other exotics (silver and Lady Amherst's, and I think there was a Reeve's there as well) at Chatsworth (the "Devonshire dump", as Harry Turtledove has it) last autumn, but I don't think I had my camera with me.

I gacked it off the web - can't remember where from.
