1. Through Taruithorn. I think kargicq in particular alerted me to the fact that there was a national society, when he said that he met his then girlfriend there ;-) Then one September various Taru people, including Kargicq, Neuromancer, Skordh, probably Foradan and others, were going to Oxonmoot, and I was in Oxford anyway, so I went along and signed up on the Friay night. Which is why my first Oxonmoot badge is hand-written ;-)
2. Ugh. Not really wanting to think about food of any kind right now. But I do have a very sweet tooth, so sweets and chocolate are usually high up there, especially marzipan, and peppermint creams. I am also very fond of pancakes with lemon and sugar, and hope to get round to a belated pancake day sometime soon! Of non-sweet things, I really like pasta with a creamy sauce, smoked salmon and parmesan. Yum.
3. I don't think I could narrow it down to *a* favourite author, no. Authors I am very fond of include (but doubtless I'm missing loads): D.L. Sayers, George MacDonald, Diana Wynne Jones, Baroness Orczy, D.K. Broster, Diane Duane, Alison Uttley. Yes, a pretty eclectic collection ;-)
4. Yes. Indeed I find the thought of living anywhere else, especially somewhere where English is not the first language, pretty scary. Friends of mine lived in Germany for a few years, and I think they did find it quite tough. It was lovely to visit Kargicq and Neuromancer in the States, but again, I wouldn't want to do it myself, especially with a baby. Thinking about it, the worst thing would be being so far away from friends and family, especially my parents (who for instance have been brilliant in coming here now to look after El while I'm sick).
5. As with books, my musical tastes are quite eclectic (though I think in both cases there is a huge gap in what might be called 'modern, popular'). I am rather partial to Steeleye Span, though.
