Thank you Danielle!


I will start (some questions were asked to me and made me think...)

1. if you could go anywhere in the world today where would you go and why? Anywhere? Hmmm. I would probably go to Newquay, Cornwall. I love that place and have so many happy memories from my camping holiday there - with some great mates! I just love to be by the beach, enjoying the sand, sea and relaxed lifestyle!

2. do you have any brothers and/or sisters? older/ younger?
I have an older sister called Claire She is great!

3. whos your best friend in the world? and why is this person your best friend?
I have three very good friends: Sarah as we have known each other for years and have been through everything together! We are more like sisters than friends Then there's Rob , my best mate from high school - he is always there for me even though we don't see each other as often as we'd like (despite living in the same city) He helped me through a really bad break up and was understanding of our feelings toward eachother. Then there's Sy I have only known him for about five years, but he and I always have the best of times together!
All my friends are special to me, but these are the ones that are there through everything - and put up with my odd dress sense and creativity!

4. who do you admire the most in the world?
I think it would have to be my Mum! She has been through so much, yet can still bring a smile to everyone's face! My Mum is my best friend! (even though I didn't say so in answer to the last question!)

enjoy my friend

Thank you for the questions, they really did get me thinking!

Hi Fran!

1. what will you be when you finish being a student?
Well, I will be a qualified Interactive Artist, so my options are so wide! I really haven't got a clue what I want to do! I know I want to get myself a studio and start my own business making cat condos and producing work for exhibition and probably some graphic design for extra cash! Other than that, I'm not sure!

2. what is your favourite food?
Hmm, I love all sorts of foods! I suppose I like anything Mediterranean - full of herbs and flavour! I also LOVE Scouse!

3. are you going to get another kitty for tibby and molly?
I would LOVE to! But with the financial constraints of being a student and having to rent property, it wouldn't be the right time now. Maybe in the future when I own my own place, but who knows! Besides, Tibby and Molly are both VERY demanding as it is, so I don't know if there would be enough time in the day to be slave to more!

4. whats the most embarrasing thing you have done?
I think it has to be when I was going to meet my friend Rob for lunch and somehow managed to forget how to get to where I was going! I was back and forth on the road and had no idea where I was! I arrived so late - but I never told him the truth as to why!!

5. Do you get nervous alot?
I am getting a lot better with my nervousness (I had depression and became a recluse) but when I do get nervous, I am always sick
When it comes to presentations and exhibitions and things, I don't get so nervous though - i'm a little odd like that!

Thank you for the questions!

Fantastic, Sarah!
1. What is scouse?
2. Are you a night owl or a morning glory?
3. Please describe the area around your computer.
4. What inspired your desire to be an artist?
5. How did you pull yourself through the depression that consumed you for so long?

Hi Stephanie!

1. What is scouse?
Scouse is a local Liverpool dish. It is kind of like a beef and veg stew with a thick soup-like consistency. Gosh, it's difficult to describe!

2. Are you a night owl or a morning glory?
A bit of both really, I like to be up in the morning though, as I like to see the sun begin to shine through the blinds! I like the night too, as long as it is still quite light - summer nights!

3. Please describe the area around your computer.
Well, my actual computer is hidden under a pile of papers and business cards and CDs! My laptop - that i'm on at the moment has pretty much a clear space - as it is on my knee!! Around me is my Tablet and mouse, a dictionary, some art books, my mobile phone, a box of tissues and Molly! (I cleaned and tidied the room the other day, otherwise I would have been here forever! )

4. What inspired your desire to be an artist?
I think it mainly stemmed from when I was a child, I was always drawing and performing. I have always been interested in art and everything that goes on around it! I am really curious and inquisitive, so I always have to find out how something works, what it means etc, so I think it is my way of setting all that straight. It also gives me a sense of expression that I can use to escape the world when things get hard!

5. How did you pull yourself through the depression that consumed you for so long?

I was becoming more and more scared to be alone. I had driven a lot of friends away and was feeling lost, so I needed to change. I began meditating which helped to calm me and Tibby and Molly came into my life just as things were at their worst and they gave me a sense of direction and company. They took my mind away from things. Then the main turning point was in December 2003, when my Nana passed away. I knew that she would want me to be happy and I wanted to look after my Mum. I now keep my strength going by concentrating on my work, my friends here at TCS (I was too scared to join back then) and knowing that I have my Nana and Grandad looking over me. It is still a battle, but i'm getting there
I don't know if I have explained that very well...

Thank you, Stephanie, for the questions!

Great choice Danielle!!

I often ask this one!.

1. Whats your favourite perfume?

2. Have you ever been "really" drunk?

3. Do you mind doing housework?

4. Do you go out with friends on a weekend?

Congrats 'Sar'

1# do you have any brothers or sisters?

2# are you close to your family and what things do you and your family like to do?

3#whats your favorite snack?

4#are you planing any vacitions this year?

have a great day

Hi Susan!

I often ask this one!.

1. Whats your favourite perfume?
I love Calvin Klein Contradiction and D&G Feminine, but I tend to wear Lavender oil! (is this so you know what to send for my birthday, Christmas, Valentines' day?! )

2. Have you ever been "really" drunk?
Oh yeah! Too many times to count! Most were when I was younger (and not legal to drink) I don't get that drunk now though! Well....

3. Do you mind doing housework?
I don't mind too much, but being a little disorganised and easily distracted, I tend to end up with a lot of it - that's when I don't like it! (If I was organised, I don't think i'd mind at all as it would be quick to do!)

4. Do you go out with friends on a weekend?
Well, I tend to go to the local and see who is there! I go out more during the week than on the weekends though, everywhere is a LOT quieter!

Thank you for the questions!

Hi Rhonda!

1# do you have any brothers or sisters?
I have one older Sister, called Claire!

2# are you close to your family and what things do you and your family like to do?
I am very close to my immediate family (Mum, Dad, Sis). As a family, we like to go for meals, visit gardens, do gardening and compete in flower shows. We don't get so much time to spend together as a family now, as my sister and I are in opposite directions and my parents are in the middle.

3#whats your favorite snack?

I love to snack on Haribo sweets! but I also like things like crumpets, chocolate, fruit, rice cakes....you name it!

4#are you planing any vacitions this year?
I'm not really much of a planner, but I think my Mum and I might be going to Glasgow, Scotland for a short break. I would also like to get a camper van and take the cats for a holiday in Anglesey, Wales or somewhere.

Thank you for the questions!

She's in the East Midlands!

Hi Mrsd!

Who is your favorite artist?
Hmm, that's a tough one! One artist I have followed the work of - for a number of years - is Cindy Sherman. I love her untitled film stills and the way she portrays emotion and narrative through a single - yet universal - frame.

What colors soothe you?
I find that all types of blues soothe me - they remind me of the sea and the sky. I also like lots of neutral natural colours - browns, beige, cream, greens - anything that feels like the outdoors and nature.

Do you listen to the radio? Or mostly to your own music?
I tend to play my own music, as I can never find a radio station that plays a good variety! I do have the radio on quite often though as background noise - when I'm not in the same room as the stereo!

Thank you for the questions!

Yay Sarah! Congratulations! Sorry I can't be very creative but here's my attempts at questions... if they've already been asked, ignore them:

What is your favorite chocolate/sweet?

What's your favorite scent?

What are you looking forward to for this month (besides my birthday, )? How about this year?

Hi Ari!

What is your favorite chocolate/sweet?
I love Haribo sweets! Chocolate, well, I like most chocolate! Maybe, Lindt (sp?) chocolates that melt in your mouth!

What's your favorite scent?
Perfume wise, I like Calvin Klein Contradiction and D&G Feminine, but I generally wear Lavender oil!

What are you looking forward to for this month (besides my birthday,

)? How about this year?
Well, of course I am looking forward to your Birthday! What would you like?! I am not sure what I am looking forward to this month! I'm not much of a planner, so take things day by day! Oh actually, maybe for my face to heal quickly! This year, I am looking forward to making some money and being able to afford a Camper (in my dreams!) and taking a holiday with Tibby and Molly I am kind of not looking forward to finishing my degree though, as I will be released into the big bad world of work

Thank you for the questions!
