"Two things..." quiz

[triskellian]

Because lathany tagged me, and then bullied me about it ;-)

Two Names You Go By
1. Liz
2. Triskellian

Two Parts of Your Heritage
I don't feel at all connected with my heritage. This isn't a complaint, it's just I'd feel a bit dishonest picking two geographical areas that my ancestors lived in and claiming they've got any kind of connection to me.

Two Things That Scare You
1. Spiders
2. Heights (especially the kind when I'm high up without anything visibly supporting the floor I'm standing on)

Two of Your Everyday Essentials
1. Laptop
2. Big glasses of water

Two Things You Are Wearing Right Now
1. Strangely-shaped purple skirt
2. My favourite black cardigan

Two of Your Favorite Bands or Musical Artists (at the moment)
1. The Magnetic Fields
2. Nick Cave
(No, I haven't gone off Tori Amos, these are the two I'm mostly listening to atm)

Two of Your Favorite Songs - at the moment
Argh. Only two? Can't I just claim most of 69 Love Songs?
1. The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure
2. Queen of the Savages
(Both from the aforementioned album.)

Two Things You Want in a Relationship (other than Real Love)
1. Silliness
2. Honesty

Two Truths
1. My cats are very cute.
2. It's cold outside.
(They didn't have to be profound, right?)

Two Physical Things that Appeal to You
1. Eyes
2. Skin

Two of Your Favorite Hobbies
1. Playing with websites
2. Knitting
(These change. I go through phases with most such things.)

Two Things You Want Really Badly
I can't think of anything I want badly right now. I mean, I'd quite like a cup of tea, but if I wanted one badly, I'd get up and make it.

Two Places You Want to go on Vacation
1. Scuba-diving in the Great Barrier Reef. I'll never be able to, though.
2. Back to Venice.

Two Things You Want to Do Before You Die
I don't think I have ambitions of this kind. There are lots of things I want to do, but I can't think of any that have the kind of "I'll feel like I've failed, if only a little bit, if I haven't done these" feeling that the question suggests to me.

Two Ways that you are stereotypically a Chick/Guy
I can't do this. I don't really approve of the idea of stereotypical gender traits, and I find it hard to think about them in any way I could apply to myself.

Two Things You Normally Wouldn't Admit
If I don't normally admit them, there's probably a reason ;-)

Two Things You Are Thinking About Now
1. Starting on the coursework I'm meant to be doing today
2. How pleased I am that I've now (several hours after writing the previous point) almost finished said coursework.

Two Stores You Shop At
1. Monsoon
2. Borders

Two people I would like to see take this quiz
Gah! Tagging! I can't do that either. Sorry - I've weaselled out of doing quite a few of these questions, haven't I? I don't mind being tagged, but I don't like tagging other people. Do the quiz if you want to - I'll read your answers, because I like this type of quiz. If you don't want to, what business have I tagging you?

Thank you! I won't even mention the missed questions.

Knitting.

Knitting

[triskellian]

The stereotypical knitter may be a woman, but that doesn't mean that the stereotypical woman is a knitter. So there.

Does so too and!

Which I think proves my point.

Your musical taste just gets better and better with age!

[undyingking.livejournal.com]

Like a fine cheese.

[triskellian]

My taste hasn't changed, I just find more things I like. And I blame you for not forcing me to listen to the Magnetic Fields ages ago. Think of all the lost years in which I could have been using this icon!

Hurrah for The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure. Er, I mean... the song's been in my head a lot lately, too.
