Ask away...or don't...whatever.

Pinched from tonberryknight (for whom I still haven't thought of a suitable question):

"The problem with Livejournal:
We all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other.

So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and ( Read more... )

Hmmmm, do I really want to admit to this in public?? LOL

I am a customer service advisor for HM Revenue and Customs (equivalent to the IRS), so I spend my days helping people fill out their tax returns, advise them how to claim back tax, apply for the benefits my department provides, and dealing with a whole gamut of enquiries. :)

It isn't the greatest job in the world but it's certainly not the worst. There's always something interesting going on and we have more than our fair share of 'difficult' customers, but for every customer we have to call in the police to deal with, there's a little old lady a few pounds better off because we've been able to sort out her taxation and that makes it worthwhile. XD

You seem like a very educated young lady and you take beautiful pictures, you also seem to travel a lot. what other states and or countries have you visited past and present. You also seem very friendly and very well knowledgeable about the ff series. What got you into that series besides the obvious? ^__________^

Thank you for calling me young! <3 ( ... )

Aside from ask where the lottery ticket came from? XD

First thing I would do is to use as much money as it took to ensure my parents were comfortable and secure for the rest of their lives. My aunt is a GP, so she's alright. My gran says there's no such thing as a poor pensioner, so she's alright, but my parents...they're both retired on pretty shitty pensions and just manage to scrape through most of the time. I'd buy them a nice house somewhere - a bungalow, because my mum struggles with stairs - and whatever else they needed to make their lives easier. And I'd pay for them to have a little holiday in York, because I know they'd love to go back. :D

Actually, the first thing I'd do is probably go into work, fill out my own P45 and hand it over to my manager with a smile and a bow. XD XD XD

Where do you live and any good places to visit while in UK? XDDD *readying traveling plans*

cryptjo May 24 2009, 16:10:09 UTC

I live in Dundee, which is on the north-east coast of Scotland. :D

Good places? I haven't travelled much in England, to be honest, so I'd be hard-pressed to recommend anywhere there. York is quite nice and I've always liked Newcastle upon Tyne, and you're already going to London. In Scotland tho', there are a lot of very nice places. :D Edinburgh and Glasgow are both great - I prefer Glasgow - and there are some very picturesque towns and villages up the east coast. If I were going to choose anywhere in the UK to visit, I think I'd go back to the Isle of Skye, which was just beautiful.

That probably wasn't very helpful...sorry. XD

Ooooh, I'm visiting Scotland too! Edinburgh and the Highlands, to be precise. Too bad I won't be seeing you around though. D: I wanted to go to Glasgow too, but my friend was a little iffy about going cuz she thinks it's pretty far and the train tickets are crazily expensive. In a country where there are no trains and only subways, it's difficult for us to stomach train tickets that cost so much. XDDD

cryptjo May 28 2009, 21:09:23 UTC

Glasgow probably isn't much further than Edinburgh, but at least with Edinburgh you can get a direct train. Edinburgh is nice tho' - are you going to visit the castle?

Whereabouts in the Highlands are you going? That's a pretty broad area. XD

Yeah, trains are horribly expensive here. :(

What other games have you played? (Uhm, I guess besides KH and FF) :D

Uhmm, what is your cat's name, and how did you get him/her? XD

I suck at asking questions.

cryptjo May 24 2009, 16:21:25 UTC

Honestly, I'm not all that much of a gamer. Prior to playing FFVII, the only games I really played on the PS2 were SSX Tricky and SSX on Tour (snowboarding games), Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly. XD Post-FFVII, I've played FFIII, FFVIII, some of FFX and hardly any of FFXII. I've played most of Devil May Cry 4, all of Lego Indiana Jones and Little Big Planet on the PS3. The World Ends with You and...lots of bits of other games on the DS - oh! Mario Kart too. XD And on the PSP I've played Crisis Core, Dissidia, God of War: Chains of Olympus and I'm in the middle of Star Ocean: Second Evolution. :D ( ... )
