(no subject)
Someone emailed me this poll. So I did it, mostly because it wasn't on livejournal, and reminded me of amp. only i have no amp access here, so i have to post it on livejournal instead. heyho.
1. First Name: Matthew
2. Were you named after anyone? No.
3. Do you wish on stars? No. I like Thom Yorke's words. The ones about a star being a burning ball of gas that is, like love, dead. (Don't listen to the nasty cynic, he's just bitter)
4. Which finger is your favorite? Right ring finger, as it houses the ring Anna gave me, which I love.
5. When did you last cry? Almost this evening, actually, watching Johnny Cash's video of Hurt.
6. Do you like your handwriting? No. It's barely legible at speed, and looks like drunken spiders.
7. What is your favorite lunch meat? I'm trying not to eat meat as much as possible, and I have no idea what a lunch meat is. There really isn't any meat I wouldn't eat for lunch.
8. Any bad habits? Laziness, and the internet. I think that says it all.
9. What is your most embarrassing CD on the shelf? There's nothing terrible, actually. There's something for anyone stuck in a genre-hole to mock, though. I doubt anyone but me likes it all.
10. If you were another person, would you be friends with you? Obviously it would depend on who else I was. I think I would get on reasonably well with a doppelganger, though.
11. Are you a dare-devil? Not really.
12. Have you ever told a secret you swore to never tell? No, never.
13. Do looks matter? The asking of the question implies the answer is yes. Self-perception of looks is robably way more important for most people.
14. Have you ever misused a word and it sounded absolutely stupid? Not that I can remember, although I must have at some point. I have sounded stupid pronouncing words I've only read.
15. Do you think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? No. It's scattered along the way
16. Do fish have feelings? Yes. To what extent? I have no idea. Probably capability for pain, so I'll try to avoid eating them.
17. Are you trendy? I barely know what trendy is any more.
18. How do you release anger? I rarely get angry, but running tends to do it. Preferably at night.
19. Where is your second home? In college, although I'm not entirely sure which to call home.
20. Do you trust others easily? No.
21. What was your favorite toy as a child? My parents despaired of me. I preferred books to toys.
22. What class in school do you think is totally useless? DT and sciences. Both tend to teach an artificial exam/coursework-passing mentality which is useless for further study and practical work.
23. Do you have a journal? Livejournal, yes. Very occasionally I've written and kept things on loose leaves in a locked box.
24. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Much less than I used to.
25. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? Yep. I'd like to crowd-surf too, but the boots I wear for gigs are not something I'd inflict on people's heads. No, trainers are not an option.
26. What do you look for in a boy/girl? Erudition and silliness.
27. What are your nicknames? Matt, Spid, Spiddy.
28. Would you ever bungee jump? YES!
29. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Try getting boots off without ;)
30. Do you think that you are strong? Strong enough.
31. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Rum and raisin. Colour, however, has to be blue.
32. What's your favorite color? Black is not a colour. Purple.
33. What is your least favorite food? Veal, even though I love the taste and texture.
34. How many wisdom teeth do you have? None.
35. Are you in love with anyone? No.
36. How many people have a crush on you right now? None
37. Who do you miss most right now? Family. It's just strange not having them around.
38. Do you want everyone you send this to, to send it back? It's on LJ. Do it if you like.
39. What color pants are you wearing? Black. Or for americans, black.
40. What are you listening to right now? ZOMBINA!!! - go listen!
41. What are the last 4 digits of you telephone number? 7920. Which, coupled with a little publicly available knowledge, will give my complete phone number.
42. What was the last thing you ate? Bread.
43. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
44. How is the weather right now? Cool and dark. Lovely.
45. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone? Dad.
46. First thing you notice about the opposite sex? Attitude. Physically, skin and hair. Dark hair and blue eyes = particularly devastating.
47. How are you today? Lazy. Funny, that.
48. Favorite drink? The time/place is very important. Generally tea, breakfast or Lapsang Souchong.
49. Favorite alcoholic drink? Damn! Forgot to buy tonic! Port or Guinness/Real Ale

52. Eye color? Brown
53. Do you wear contacts? No

56. Favorite food? Cheeeeese.

58. Favorite day of the year? Day? Feh, I really don't have one.

60. Scary movies or happy endings? Both, with plenty of variety.
61. Summer or winter? Winter
62. Hugs or kisses? Either would be nice ;)
63. Relationships or one-night stands? Relationship
64. Do you want your friends to write back? It'd be great to see ampers do a poll again. I was reading through old posts the other day, and I'm still amazed how much I miss amp.
65. Who is most likely to respond? I really don't know.
66. Who is least likely to respond? Mel, as she never updates anyway.
67. Living arrangement? Half of the year with parents, half in college.
