WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: none.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING AFE: 4th July 1997, on and off since
then. Hang on. OVER A DECADE. I'd have gotten less for murder,
honestly....
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON AFE: Filks and flamewars. tEC
reviews.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Reading, *****ing, knocking things down
(aka
DIY), gardening, ebaying (selling as well as buying), writing,
redecorating, planning parties :)
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: "Dear 2018 Natalie.
You had better have gotten your arse in gear and made a decision by
now. You know what I mean. You're as bad as the Seers/Seeresses of
Kell, sitting on that fence for millenia. It's been ten years. Love,
2008 Natalie."
Sorry, I mean living in my own home, by the river, with the man I
love. Ideally with a rugrat or two or three. Working for employers who
respect me, and pay me enough that I can do my yearly jaunt to see
friends and family in US/Aus. Having the authority to be taken
seriously and not be called "hen" "love" and "pet" by the patriarchy
who just see me as a redhaired, large breasted, hysterical bimbo.
Being physically well, having overturned my recent health problems and
challenged my current diagnosis.
Being in control. Being the master of my fate. :)
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED
YOU
POSSESSED: The ability to not want to punch people who tell me to calm
down, not worry so much, and not to let things get to me. See above.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: I lie. I cheat. I
backstab. I ***** behind people's backs when I don't get my own way.
Which is worst? *shrug*
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: the words "I sup****t you".
HOW DO YOU PICTURE AFE: a bar I used to love. The windows are dusty,
the shutters are half closed, the dishtowel is draped over the taps,
and the chairs are stacked in the corner. I'm ringing the bell in the
hope that the bartender will appear, and as if by magic the old
regulars will pour back through the doors laughing and arguing over
whose round it is, and bring some new friends in with them. But I'll
sit here and sip my pint alone in the meantime.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: Will Big Dave ever write a decent book
again?
WHAT SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES DO YOU USE: Livejournal, facebook, and
another two I won't admit to in public ;)

"A terrible fury suddenly filled her.
'Kill them!' she hissed from between clenched teeth.
'Kill them for me!' And then she could weep."
