No one answered this, so...

I have always drawn, as a hobby. Pen and paper were one thing available to me although we didn't have much spare money as I was growing up. That might be why. It was also a nice quiet outlet for the imagination.

I can draw people and animals fairly well. I was never very interested in inanimate objects. Those were always minimal in the drawings or non existent.

I drew (and wrote) my own comic books, for fun. I drew paper dolls with clothing. I always drew from imagination, not from a book or surroundings, (almost never; once in a while someone would ask me to.) People used to ask if I traced something and that would mystify and annoy me just a bit. What would be the fun in that? I would just shake my head no.

I also filled sketch books with random drawings, games, puzzles and costume or clothing sketches. Sometimes grandma or a sibling would join me and contribute something to the sketch books. That was a lot of fun. For instance one of us would make up a word and each one had to draw what the word meant. Then we'd all look at each other's drawings.

I also sometimes did storyboards for made up screenplays although I never completed any. Sometimes I would just draw a person and write out their life story alongside it - all fictional.

I was fascinated by faces but never really got the hang of drawing a portrait - not to the extent I wanted to at least. I've since discovered I am actually much better at making a likeness in 3D. No way to have known that until the computer age. I had never really had access to sculpting. I also never learned to paint. Clay and stone cost too much, as did paints.

Mostly my drawing was and still is, pen and ink on paper, rarely it includes marker or colored pencil. Lately I've become interested in those tiny trading cards of hand made art (called ATC) but, I can't bring myself to actually finish or send a set to anyone. I don't feel my skills are where I would wish them to be.

My first 'what will you be when you grow up' was artist, followed by clothing designer (I never became either one.)

Same question.

Since 1999, I've done this in the Garfield style, though rarely nowadays for reasons unknown to even me.

You a vegetarian?

No, though I like fruits and veggies and eat far more of them than meat.

Are you a meat lover?

Yes.

Same question?

No, I do not like meat and I never really did.

As a child I ate some meat if it was 'disguised' enough, i.e. a hamburger or a hot dog, like most kids...but I really hated it in its natural forms with veins, bones, fat, stuff like that.

Once I grew up and was out on my own it suddenly occurred to me, hey, don't have to eat that stuff any more...and I went lacto-ovo vegetarian (dairy only, and other things too, but not meat or meat broth or lard) for a long, long time.

Then I had some health issues which meant I couldn't only do vegetable sources of protein any more. So I have added some fish and poultry.

If I could though I would still be lacto-ovo veggie all the time. And I still don't like any of the grody parts of meat. I'm never going to be a carnivore type of person in my diet.

Same thing I guess.

I call myself a fake vegetarian.
I don't eat meat or poultry or eggs, but I will have the occasional sushi with tuna or salmon, and I refuse to read the labels of food-products. And I actively encourage my friends and family never to tell me what they put into food&treats that I get to eat, so I won't turn down things like... Ice cream or pie or whatever yummy stuff that I wouldn't eat if I knew. *ignorance is bliss*

What is your favourite holiday/special occasion/celebration?

Edited> someone here can't spell. Not naming any names.

I would say my birthday, but then I'm only reminded how old I'm getting. So I will have to go with Halloween.

Are you going to watch the world cup?

world cup of what? I'm guessing it's some sort of sporting event. Soccer? And no, I don't find sports remotely interesting. Unless it's figure skating.

If a magical faerie could let you visit any place, real or fictional, where would you go and what would you do?

I'd visit the land of the elder scrolls and kill a dragon.

Same.

Some sorta magical land, I dunno.

You a coffee addict?

Same.

I either don't react at all, or go all nuts, high and shivery when I drink coffee. But I really enjoy the taste.
The only bad thing about coffee is the I never really know what it'll do to me THIS TIME.

So I guess I'm half an addict.

Do you like chocolate?

Kind of. I used to love chocolate, but since I found out about the cockroach pieces in it, I'm not comfortable with chocolate.

same question

EDIT: 've come to the next page:

No, I used to like chocolate.

Same question.

Yes, though I'm cutting back. I only like dark chocolate.

Do you like cherries?

Yes, I love cherries! I had some today for breakfast!

Do you like to go to the beach?
