5. Zodiac Sign: Libra Sun, Leo Moon, Scorpio Rising (anything else you want, I've given all the information necessary to run my chart)

12. Hair Color: Naturally, chestnut-brown with gray; currently strawberry blonde with much of the aforementioned at the roots.
13. Hair Length: Just past shoulders, and needing cut
14. Eye color: Truly hazel, but I always say green, 'cause that's my favorite of the colors they turn.
15. Weight: In the interest of the honesty and bravery I try to put forth in this LJ, I am ashamed to say I'm within 10 pounds of weighing 300 pounds. I'm honestly not sure what it is exactly, though, 'cause my scale didn't survive the move.
16. Height: 5'4'

19. Piercings?: All closed now, but two on each earlobe, with an extra on my right side, and tongue.
20. Tattoos: Phoenix symbol a la Jean Grey of X-Men on my sternum; tribal Simba a la Lion King on my outer left ankle; black and purple yin-yang on the right side of my neck; what Pyramid catalog called an All-Are-One symbol on the middle of my upper back/lower neck (which they apparently don't sell anymore, so no link); a blue triangle on my left ring finger.
21. Righty or Lefty: Righty

Your 'Firsts'

22. First best friend: Probaby Erin Reed, who lived next door when I was like 4. But the one I remember is John Lee, who lived across the street, and I had a crush on for years.
23. First Award: I was always winning spelling/English awards in school, and whatever the highest marks were for piano recitals, but I don't remember when my first ones were. Probably first grade.
24. First Sport You Joined: Gymnastics, for a year.
25. First pet: Technically, Taffy, a cocker spaniel. The first I remember was Mindy, a schnauzer.
26. First Real Vacation: I've been told I went to Mexico as a baby. I'm not sure I remember my first vacation, per se. We always went to the zoo at Fort Wayne, Indiana, about half an hour away. Not sure if that counts. We didn't really do those cross-country family trips to Wally World and the like. We did go to Key West quite a bit, though, from when I was young.
27. First Concert: Heh. The Carpenters.
28. First Love: John Lee, above. First REAL love was Logomancer

Favorites

29. Movie: To repeat a previous entry: It's always so hard to pick just one. I'd say my current favorite is Love Actually, but I also love The Princess Bride, American Beauty, Mirrormask, and probably a half a dozen others that aren't coming to mind right now.
30. TV Show: Right now? House. Also anything Star Trek, Babylon 5, and the new Battlestar Galactica. And Adult Swim, of course.
31. Color: Purple, and lots of pink nowadays
32. Rappers: ICP
33. Band & Singers: Again with the repeat: I love a lot of the recent stuff... Staind, StoneSour, Disturbed... but Billy Squier will always be my favorite.
34. Song Right Now: Repeating, Oh, God... another impossible one. I really love Hate Me by Blue October. It makes me cry - it's like the saddest song EVER... beats Wildfire all to hell for the tear-jerking factor. (Note: The lyrics listed must be the extended version or something. They don't do the phone call at the beginning or the yelling at the end, that I've ever heard.)
35. Friend: BlckwngdOrcl
36. Candy: Loving chocolate lately, the darker the better.
37. Sport to Play: Ummmm... none? Dancing? Sex?
38. Restaurant: So many I love... I tend to like the expensive places. I swoon for French restaurants.
39. Favorite brand to wear: I couldn't even tell you what brands I own. I could care less.
40. Store: Hmmmm... Phoenix and Dragon
41. School Subject: English
42. Animal: I'm pretty much good with anything except flying stinging insects.

54. Thinking About: Mostly this, my cats, the more-overwhelming-than-I-thought-it-would-be scent of incense.
