Funky scarf swap insight

I'm doing the Funky Scarf Swap! I should've posted about it earlier while registration was still open but I've been busy vomiting. So here is my questionaire, I'm sure it'll provide great insight into my personal style and flair. My anonymous swap partner is sure to know just what to make me. Uh huh. And for those of you too busy or cool to read my answers, at least take a look at the link in question 6, I snatched it from another blog and it's internet gold, gold I tell ya!

Let’s get the allergy part out of the way. Are you allergic to any fibers?
Nope, well except that strange and mysterious eyelash fiber, I'm not sure what it is about it but when it gets too close to me my eyes start to water and uncontrollable vomiting soon follows.

Do you prefer any fibers over others?
Hmmm...I love all natural fibers equally. Except silk, while it's lovely and all, I'm just not down with the casualties, unless it's peace-silk, now that shit is the bomb, all the softness without any of the carnage.

Thinking back to Scout’s post about what funky means to you, post an image of something that you think is funky!
what it means to me…

smart and sassy, living by your wits, never trusting anyone but still keeping a certain innocence and belief in the future and yes, in goodness and the kindness of humans even though the let you down again and again, thrashing your soul and breaking your heart…that’s what funky means to me…oh wait, no, that’s what ’streetsmart’ means to me. damn.

Would you prefer funky yarn or a funky pattern?
Well...really, either/or/both, I want to be surprised. Although I'm not a huge fan of mill-novelty yarn, I do like handspun art yarn - heh. Be as wild as you wanna be!

What are your favorite colors?
I'm more skittle than smartie, in other words, no pastels. I love bright colors, reds and oranges, oh and also rich earthy colors, chocolate, cinnamon, mustard, olive.

What is your favorite piece of art?
Right now, at this very moment -- this and each and everyone of you must click on it.

What colors would you never have up close to your pretty face?
If babies wore it in the 50s, it's dead to me.

Would you prefer an actual scarf or a cowl?
I think a scarf, though if you've got your swappy heart set on aknittin' a cowl, I won't complain, except about the name...cowl? yech.

When you wear a scarf do you prefer a wider/shorter scarf or a thin/long scarf?
Like all things, I prefer long and thin to short and wide, even more, I prefer long and medium width.

What is the climate like where you live?
Miserable all but a few months a year. Why do I live here again? And what the hell's up with global warming, the summers are hotter than a witches tit in july (I'm not sure what this means exactly, Bill's grampy used to say it. I think it means it's damn hot, if it doesn't mean that, let's pretend it does because that's what I mean, too hot to move...) but the winters are still freeze-your-nose-off cold! It' baltimore, baby, and it's not the land of peaches and cream like all those stinkin' guide books said it was.

Would you prefer a functional scarf (to keep you warm) or one just to funk-up your wardrobe?
I'd like one that can keep me warm, funkify my maternity wear this winter, unload the dishwasher, and lick the puddin', please.

What else would you like your partner to know about you?
As crotchity and difficult as I may sound, I'm really a kitten. Whatever you make will be recieved with open arms, a happy smile, and as graceful a neck such as not been seen since Audrey Hepburn. Really.
