A long, long time ago..

So I stole this off of Valerie ages ago, and never posted it. I feel I should post it now rather than let it simply clutter up my Drafts folder. I'll post date it, to make things easier.

1. First thing you wash in the shower?
I just tend to stand there for a while..

2. What color is your favorite hoodie?
I've joined the 'I wear my girlfriend's hoodie crew'. It's black, huge, and lovely.
:]

3. Do you plan outfits?
Not really. I don't have a huge number of clothes, so any planning would often be made redundant by something being in the wash.

4. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
Sneezy, and a bit worried. You?

5. What’s the closest thing to you that's red?
A drum kit, I guess. There's a red splotch on my coffee cup, though.

6. Tell me about the last dream you remember having?
I was playing a gig in a pub, and I did 'Into the Sunshine' by Julia Nunes, but I didn't know it. I was really underprepared and it was horrible. Then I went outside in the snow and my friend got hit by a truck. - Bad times.


7. Did you meet anybody new today?
Not yet, but I hope to.

8. What are you craving right now?
A cigarette, if I'm honest (coffee always makes me want them), and a bit of normalcy/more money.

9. Do you floss?
When I remember to/when we have the cool little floss bows that we sometimes get.

10. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
Scrubs.
10 points if you know why.


11. Are you emotional?
I like to think that I'm emotionless, but I'm sure everyone I know would disagree.

12. Have you ever counted to 1,000?
No, but my cousin has.

13. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
This sounds like such a dirty question. Nine times out of ten I bite.

14. Do you like your hair?
Yeah, it's okay. Gonna get it cut soon, but it's at that nice stage where it's manageable enought to style, but long enough to not have to if I don't want to.

15. Do you like yourself?
No. I like how I write, I like how I often know what to say and how I'm good at somethings, but no. I don't like myself, and I don't see why anyone does or should, for that matter.

16. Would you go out to eat with George W.Bush?
As long as it wasn't a Republican do, I probably would, yeah.

17. Would you throw potatoes at him?
Only if he started it.

18. What are you listening to right now?
Dr. Noise doing a very good Cure cover.

19. Are your parents strict?
In some ways they're ridiculously uptight, but they're really lax about the cool stuff like, sex, drink, and visiting random places.

20. Would you go sky diving?
I'm with Valerie on this one. I wouldn't, simply because I can get my ya-yas in so many other, less-possible-death-inducing ways, that jumping out of a plane just seems idiotic. (I can for example get my ya-yas from Ikea. They cost less but you have to assemble them yourself -10 more points if you get the reference).

21. Do you like cottage cheese?
Yes. It's yummy and I could eat it all day long.

22. Have you ever met a celebrity?
I met Jimmy Carr in Poole one day (random, I know!), Bear Grylls (who's an utter knob on Tv, but quite nice in real life, well, to 10 year old, reverential Castle Court schoolboys, anyway..) and I've had Twonversations with one or two on Twitter.

23. Do you rent movies often?
Not really. My parents do, and I borrow them when they're done.
I am going to today, though. Wall-E ><

24. Is there anything sparkly in the room you're in?
Just my outlook on life.

25. How many countries have you visited?
4/5 France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal (and Ireland, if you count it - I was three and threw up lots). I've driven through lots on the way to and from Italy, though.

28. Have you made a prank phone call?
I have once or twice, but I tend to suck at them.

27. Ever been on a train?
Yeah, it's pretty much how I get anywhere, ever.

28. Brown or white eggs?
Again, I'm with Valerie. Brown eggs perturb me. Unless of course this question is a metaphor for something higher, in which case I don't judge on the basis of colour.

29.Do you have a cell-phone?
I do. I hate it, but unfortunately it happens to be very reliable.

30. Do you use chap stick?
No. I do use Vaseline, though - Lube?

31. Do you own a gun?
My Dad has an Air Rifle, which from time to time, I take out, set up cans in the garden and use. But not too often, it makes me feel too up-state New Yorkian.

32. Can you use chop sticks?
Yes, I can. I learnt while watching Michael Palin.

33. Who are you going to be with tonight?
Louise and her Dad, I believe! :D

34. Are you too forgiving?
I'm not usually the one doing the forgiving.

35. Ever been in love?
Yes. It rulez.

36. What is(are) your best friend(s) doing tomorrow?
I think some sort of party, but I'm not sure.

37. Ever have cream puffs?
No, and I don't know what they are, and I'm not sure I want to.

38. Last time you cried?
Well I didn't cry, but Season 3 One Tree Hill makes me weepy every other episode.

39. What was the last question you asked?
"What if he's just found out he's President of the World?"

40. Favorite time of the year?
Bah. In Winter I say Summer, in Summer I say Winter. In Autumn I say Autumn and in Spring I say "Achoo!".

41. Do you have any tattoos?
No. I've been planning one since I've been about 13, and in that time, almost every single friend I know has gotten one.

42. Are you sarcastic?
I try to be, but it often doesn't work out. My Dad does really get sarcasm, and my Mom just gets upset.

43. Have you ever seen The Butterfly Effect?
No.

44. Ever walked into a wall?
Not by accident.

45. Favorite color?
Blue-ish.

46. Have you ever slapped someone?
Yes, and I instantly regretted it both times.

47. Is your hair curly?
Yes, and it annoys me.

48. What was the last CD you bought?
I don't actually know. I'm such a bad person.. I just steal them from RapidShare.

49. Do looks matter?
They do, but they shouldn't.

50. Could you ever forgive a cheater?
Depends entirely on the situation. You'll never know what you'll do until you love someone and you're in that situation.

51. Is your phone bill sky high?
Nope. Free calls to all UK landlines, bitches!

52. Do you like your life right now?
Not reaaally, but I don't think I ever really do. I have lots of nice things and nice people, though! :]

53. Do you sleep with the T.V. on?
I can fall asleep with it on, but I never let myself.

54. Can you handle the truth?
I'm not sure I can handle anything, but I'd rather know the truth, if that's what you're asking.

55. Do you have good vision?
Yes, but it gives me headaches.

56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people?
Probably. I do try and imagine people complexly, and I think/hope I'm a more balanced person because of it. However, there are times when one does need to hate.

57. How often do you talk on the phone?
I dunno. Not often..

58. How do you feel about holding hands?
I am definately in the pro-hand-holding party.

59. What are you wearing?
The aforementioned 'Amy's hoodie', jeans, and my skate shoes.

60.What is your favorite animal?
Dormice. <33>

61. Where was your default picture taken? Right here.

62. Can you hula hoop?
I have been known to.

63. Do you have a job?
Sort of. I work in a hospital, but they rarely call me in, so I'm technically unemployed.

64. What was the most recent thing you bought?
Pills, credit, and alcohol.

65. Have you ever crawled through a window?
Yes. I lock myself out with startling regularity.


Well that was fun.

Movie Tiime!

So yeah, I'm aware that I haven't blogged in a criminally long time, and there's a good reason for this. I've been writing songs instead. Which, I hope you'll agree, is better for both of us in the long time. I also don't have a laptop at the moment, as mine showed its true worth and disintergrated worse than if Boba Fett got his hands on it *Nerd Jokes! Nerd Jokes!*
