Wow, I'm rather behind! That's what comes of feeling so ill for over a week.

2. What's your favorite candy bar?
Hmmm. My favourite chocolate is Cadbury's but the actual bar? Maybe a Star Bar. I am becoming very partial to Hotel Chocolat's Eton Mess. It's light white chocolate with meringue and strawberry.

3. What city or other location were you born in?
Blackpool - a seaside resort in Lancashire. It's famous for its Tower.

4. What's the most ridiculous way you've ever been injured?
I was shot in the knee by an arrow.

5. It's Learn What Your Name Means Day. So, what does your name mean? Do you think it fits you?
Sarah means Princess and it doesn't fit me at all.

Aw, I'm sorry you've been so ill again. *sends hugs*

I was shot in the knee by an arrow.

Ouch!! Also... did you annoy Robin Hood or something?

From:

Not again... It's been the ongoing effects of the antibiotics. I'm finally feeling close to normal. (Normal for me.) Thanks though. *hugs gently*

Robin Hood would have been far more interesting.

I was about 9, maybe 8, and my uncle (who was 13, maybe 12) had a bow and arrow set. He'd taken the suckers off the end of the arrows and sharpened them. He was firing them into the ground and I walked around the corner of the shed. It was inevitable, really. I had to have 2 tetanus injections and I fainted on the 2nd one. (Which is why I hate needles.)

Ohhh, sorry. Time is so weird. It goes so fast and also things seem like forever ago, especially online. (Each separate time I log in is totally a new day, right?) /o\

I am glad you're finally beginning to feel a bit better, though!

And: ow, ouch. :-/

Which is why I hate needles.

And presumably also arrows.

Not to worry. I can't keep track of anything lately. :o)

"And presumably also arrows."

Oddly enough, I come across far fewer arrows in my life. They're really not a concern for me.

Needles though. Doctors, nurses, and dentists have an unnatural passion for them. *dark look*

dimity_blue! Don't tempt fate like that!

Yikes! I didn't think of it that way!

Are you feeling better today? I hope so.

Blackpool! The setting for the second episode of "Adam Adamant Lives!", and therefore forever associated with swishing capes and rather splendid shoes. Also hijinks, if you'll pardon the accidental pun, up the Tower. Hurrah! That is a good place to be born, even though I suspect that you weren't actually born at the Tower. ;)

Favourite chocolate bar... hmm. I certainly used to love Star Bars, before I went off milk chocolate. Twix was my favourite as a kid, and also Wispa Gold. Nowadays maybe Montezuma's Lordy Lord, which is dark chocolate with bits of cocoa bean in it, so it seems even darker. Nice texture too. Or their Sea Dog, which is flavoured with lime. I also love Green & Black's 85%; and Seed & Bean do a nice 85% flavoured with lavender, which is funky.

(Being shot with an arrow is never ridiculous, btw. It may be inconvenient, but it is also very cool.)

I'm almost back to my normal, thanks, after the antibiotics incident. I'm just anxious about my breathing, and the anxiety affects my breathing. It's a nice vicious circle.

Er, no, I was born in a hospital and not up the Tower. Thankfully. Adam Adamant was not involved. Again, thankfully.

Montezuma's Lordy Lord sounds good.

From:

swordznsorcery

Adam Adamant being involved is always good. There's swords! And swishy capes! And fisticuffs!

I was going to say maybe I should take a look at it, but the DVDs are rather expensive! Hopefully, it'll be streamed soon and I can check out an episode for the price of £2 or less.
