1. What is your full name?
Wow, wow, wow. No no no. The most I'm willing to say is my name is Katherina, and my surname initial is a P.

2. If you could, would you change part of your name? To what?
I've written before my full name comprises of *my name* + *mom's surname* + *dad's surname* but that it's common to drop *mom's surname* so that my name is a tad shorter. I wouldn't want to change any part of my name. Initials do seem cool though, and I'm happy enough with that.

3. Favourite girl's name?
Probably Kay? Dunno. Never really thought of it.

4. Favourite boy's name?
Similarly, never thought about that.

5. Would you name your child after a character in a book or movie?
Don't plan to have a child so can't really say.
However, i would say that for my Dachshund mix (she's almost 20!), when I just picked her off the street and went to chip her, her "official" name is Lizzie (short for Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice), but... in actuality she's never been called by that name haha. For some reason we've just always called her "Menina" and dad calls her by "Madchen" (German), and even in Chinese we call her 妹妹 or 阿妹... basically, we've just been calling her "Girlie" all her life.

Might as well pay the dog tax :-) Not her most photogenic photo, but it's the most recent.

1. How ticklish are you?
Probably considered very ticklish. I don't like to go for massages because it's all ticklish for me.

2. When did you most recently experience physical numbness?
Just 10 minutes ago. The people who came to fix the electricty are also fixing a fence thing for our varandah railing thing so the Frenchie is locked in my room with me. It's Saturday, so I'm working on the dog shelter finances. And since I'm locked in the room with the dog, I can only work on my bed, and so I'm sitting cross-legged for an extended period of time. When Mom came in to ask me to hold onto the dog as the guys want to smoothen out the edges of the light switch; I stood up and couldn't move. My left leg had fallen asleep.

3. What’s caused you recently to squirm?
With summer barrelling at us, the rise of the mini cockroaches is happening as well. I used be grossed out by these mini roaches but they're slowly getting on my nerves and I'm starting just see one and whack one.

4. What recently caused you to gag?
hm..... I think I'm pretty good with dealing with dog poop and dog puke. But when it's human puke then it might make me gag.

5. Which item in your wardrobe is most uncomfortable to wear?
oh, I have bra that I don't know if it's a loose stitch or something, but there's something in one part of the stitch or seam on the right side that just scratches and irritates the skin there. It's now in the back of my drawer and I'll probably only wear that in the winter when I have to wear a heat-tech (a special undershirt) beneath it.
