dimity_blueI'm really not keeping up with this! Oh, well.
24. If you won a huge lottery, with more money than you could use, what charitable organization or civic donation would you fund?
Hillside Animal Sanctuary. Their patron is Martin Shaw and they focus on helping farm animals, but they seem to help any animal in need. They also run undercover investigations to expose cruelty in the farming industry and the sanctuary is home to over 2,500 animals. I first heard about them from a campaign to raise the funds to save Benjy the bull from the slaughterhouse in Ireland. Hillside offered him a forever home but he needed to get there first. Boris had been intended to be a stud bull only it turned out he didn't like girl cows.
If you ever want to make my day, please give them a bale of hay for £4.
25. What three fictional characters (from film, TV, or books) do you most strongly identify with?
Barbara Buncle from Miss Buncle's book (D E Stevenson). She's shy and withdrawn at first and is frequently overlooked and ignored.
Mary Bennet from Pride & Prejudice (Jane Austen). While I'm not sanctimonious and I hope I'm nowhere near as tone-deaf as Mary, I identify with her feeling of being completely alone and out of step with everyone around her.
Abigail Wendover from Black Sheep (Georgette Heyer). She has far more charm than I could hope for, but she has a bad habit of sacrificing her wants for her sister and niece.

I actually DID miss out on a potential love interest because I never knew how to show I was interested. I was nice to him, but I was nice to everyone. I still wonder about him from time to time.
