Getting to know the locals

[rockin26]

From what I can tell there is about a dozen or so regulars in the Australian chatter area and a few that pop in fairly often. What I thought could be fun would be getting to know you all outside of all the 'makeup talk'. I chat on here almost every day but I don't really know that much about anyone! (expect for who's more in love with lippies and e/s etc)

So I thought'd I'd do a up a bit of a list of questions to answer and we could each copy and past and then add our own answers! You don't have to answer them all and if you have a question you want answered please add it! Only reveal as much as you like or just glaze over.

So I'll start to get the ball rolling.
