8. It's International Women's Day. Who is a woman you greatly admire and why do you admire her?

Irena Sendler.

I can't imagine the nerve it took to do what she did. She knew what she was risking, she was imprisoned, tortured, and scheduled for execution. She was rescued, and lived in Poland for the rest of her life. She died in 2008.

6. Who is your favorite celebrity chef? Why do you like them?
Pass. I think I know 3 famous chefs in total.

7. What is the worst medical procedure you've ever had?
The nerve reflex check. They literally stick long pins in you and send small volts of electric along the nerve to see how well the nerve reacts.

Rodney McKay isn't far wrong when he calls doctors voodoo practitioners.

I've just watched one of the most annoying episodes of Upstairs, Downstairs, a British TV series from the 1970s.

I wrote about the first season here. It has pictures too!

Basically, the series was the Downton Abbey of its day, and was about the Bellamy family, their servants, and their lives from 1903-1930.

This episode, The Key of the Door, centred around Elizabeth Bellamy, the only daughter of the family. Basically, Elizabeth is an absolute pain in the arse.

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.

29. If you were given an extra day every year to do whatever you want, what would you do?

Ooh, go out somewhere and have fun! Visit the beach or pier and have icecream.

Talking of such things, it's not fit for anyone out there right now. The rain and wind are howling up against the windows. Brrrr!

28. If you learn that a celebrity of whom you are a fan of has done something horrible, does it affect your ability to enjoy works they previously produced?

Yep. I can still listen to their music or watch their films, but the knowledge is always there.

26. What's a belief that you hold that most people probably disagree with?
That there's some truth to Astrology birth charts as regards personality.

We are mostly water. In the womb, we're surrounded by water. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find the gravitational forces of the sun, moon, and other planets had an effect upon our mental development.

Good old mushroom soup!

I'm watching Good Omens with Christine and we saw episodes 3 and 4 today.

Did anyone else notice Mark Gatiss behind the glasses of Mr. Harmony in the 1941 segment? I adore his glee over the "played for a sucker" phrase.

22. Do you prefer being left alone on a long bus or train ride or would you rather chat with a random stranger next to you?

I don't mind either as long as that chat is a dialogue and I'm not landed with a random stranger who thinks I'm there to listen while they talk on and on and on.

No wonder people don't send letters much!

19. Do you think anger is generally a positive emotion or a negative emotion? How does your thoughts on that help you deal with your anger?

I think it's generally negative and destructive. I don't deal well with my anger as I feel very powerless in general, so my anger becomes frustration.

Uh...my nightdress, I think. It's about 3 years old.
