Surveys going round
Apr. 17th, 2009 09:52 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
1.First thing you wash in the shower?
My, er, chest.
2. What colour is your favourite hoodie?
I only have one, which I bought last year. It's a totally hippy-looking stripey one in blues and purples. I had an aversion to hoodies for years because of their association with fuckwit young men when I was growing up (a lot of people seem to think gang-guys have only been going around in hoodies comparatively recently - nup, they were doing it 25 years ago, where I'm from.)
3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
Yep.
4. Do you plan outfits?
I don't like things to clash too much, so I don't usually wear my blue-and-white Hawaiian shirt with my green camouflage pants. But I have. I have real angst if I'm going out, though, and need to get dressed up.
5. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
Pretty eh, unfortunately. This latter half of the week hasn't been great, for no real reason.
6. What’s the closest thing to you that's red?
The cover of A Box of Dub 2 CD.
7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having?
Ick, I was having one of my rare sexual dreams about a man on Wednesday, who happened to have a really ugly crooked little penis, and I was giving him a hand-job. I don't think I've ever done a hand-job on a guy in real life (at least not to completion). Don't know what that was about. Gross.
8. Did you meet anybody new today?
Nope.
9. What are you craving right now?
Many things.
10. Do you floss?
Intermittently.
11. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
Mmm, sauerkraut and okonomiyaki. Boiled, blech.
12. Are you emotional?
Yes. Too much so, at times (like many people, I suppose).
13. Have you ever counted to 1,000?
Nope.
14. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
Normal ice-cream makes me feel crook, and I have sensitive teeth. So if I have gelato, soy ice-cream or sheep's milk ice-cream (which is fucking yum), I lick it.
15. Do you like your hair?
Yes, I do, and I am really particular about it. It's great I have a fantastic hair-dresser right now. And he charges me the men's rate.
16. Do you like yourself?
Enough of the time.
17. Would you go out to eat with George W. Bush?
I wouldn't spit on him if he were on fire, much less share a meal with him. Sharing food is as close as I get to being ritualistic, which means it's important.
18. What are you listening to right now?
Red Snapper
19. Do you believe in God?
Nope.
20. Would you go sky diving?
Fuck no, I did once, and never fucking again.
21. Do you like cottage cheese?
See above, re lactose intolerance. It's ok in things.
22. Have you ever met a celebrity?
Lucy Lawless, before she was.
23. Do you rent movies often?
Embrace the power of bittorrent.
24. Is there anything sparkly in the room you're in?
Um, no.
25. How many countries have you visited?
I can't be arsed counting right now: more than 6, less than a dozen.
26. Have you made a prank phone call?
No.
27. Ever been on a train?
God, I can tell this was written by an American.
28. Brown or white eggs?
Either is fine, as long as they're genuinely free-range, and preferably from organic chickens.
29.Do you have a cell-phone?
Yes.
30. Do you use chap stick?
No. No, wait, I have once.
31. Do you own a gun?
See above re Americans. (Yes, I know people in other countries own guns, but they don't usually ask such fetishistic questions about them)
32. Can you use chop sticks?
Yup.
33. Who are you going to be with tonight?
No-one
34. Are you too forgiving?
Mmm, too forbearing sometimes.
35. Ever been in love?
Hell yes.
36. What is your best friend(s) doing tomorrow?
*eyeroll* Funnily enough, I'm not connected to my friends, "best" or otherwise, by an umbilical cord.
37. Ever have cream puffs?
Nom nom, although they're ebil. Also, I want to (make and) eat the Totoro puffs! Too cute!
38. Last time you cried?
Not that long ago.
39. What was the last question you asked?
Why the fuck is this piece of software (a third-party product I've been struggling to get working on a server for two weeks) such a piece of shit?
40. Favourite time of the year?
Autumn.
41. Do you have any tattoos?
Yes, I want moar.
42. Are you sarcastic?
Yes. Not usually at people in important situations though.
43. Have you ever seen The Butterfly Effect?
I don't even know what it is, other than it being an example from chaos theory. [Googles] No, I haven't seen any pseudo-intellectual sci-fi movies or Aussie hard rock bands lately (or ever).
44. Ever walked into a wall?
Nope, although I've done door jambs and light poles (the latter before I decided reading books while walking was a bad idea).
45. Favourite colour?
Indigo blue, and dark myrtle green. Also, deep burgundy red. Yes, there is a theme here.
46. Have you ever slapped someone?
No. I've done the punching thing though (and never again)
47. Is your hair curly?
No, but it goes wavy when it's more than 6 inches long. It hasn't been six inches long since I was about 10.
48. What was the last CD you bought?
A Box of Dub 1 & 2
49. Do looks matter?
To some degree, yes. But not as much or in the same ways we're encouraged to think it matters.
50. Could you ever forgive a cheater?
It depends on what you mean by "cheating". I would find it difficult to forgive someone being wilfully dishonest, unethical or manipulative.
51. Is your phone bill sky high?
Grand total of $20 last month.
52. Do you like your life right now?
It's ok.
53. Do you sleep with the TV on?
Fuck no. It even bugs me if I can hear that fucking booming sound coming from the inadequate speakers at the other end of a house when I'm fully awake.
54. Can you handle the truth?
Yes, if it's delivered with the appropriate thought and consideration. It doesn't mean I'd like it.
55. Do you have good vision?
No, although it's not horrific.
56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people?
Yes, although not anyone who is actively in my life - why would they be in my life?
57. How often do you talk on the phone?
Moderately often at work. Hardly at all otherwise (except ringing my ex D about once a month or so in NZ)
58. The last person you held hands with?
My last partner.
59. What are you wearing?
Pyjama pants, a black EPMU teeshirt and a fuzzy top.
60.What is your favourite animal?
I dunno, I don't have strong identification with any animal. I did make friends with a cute cattie while I was in Sydney last weekend. She was shyly hanging out under a car, but she came out when I said hello and eventually demanded that I rub her belleh while she lolled all over the footpath. :-)
61. Where was your default picture taken? [Superfluous "at" removed.]
Hahhhhh.
62. Can you hula hoop?
I couldn't even when I was a kiddie.
63. Do you have a job?
Yes.
64. What was the most recent thing you bought?
Tofu
65. Have you ever crawled through a window?
Yep, I was quite the house-breaker in my youth (not for pinching things, but for getting back inside when locked out)
My, er, chest.
2. What colour is your favourite hoodie?
I only have one, which I bought last year. It's a totally hippy-looking stripey one in blues and purples. I had an aversion to hoodies for years because of their association with fuckwit young men when I was growing up (a lot of people seem to think gang-guys have only been going around in hoodies comparatively recently - nup, they were doing it 25 years ago, where I'm from.)
