Meme stolen from Raenstorm
Questions
Do you watch the Olympics? Shouldn't that be "did you"? I watched some of the Olympics, and got annoyed at the Paralympics because of all the controversy that was going on.
Can you dance? Hahahahaha. No.
Do you keep the oil changed in your car? Well technically the garage does that for me when it gets serviced. I do check the oil levels (and the levels of the other stuff in the engine that I can actually check - coolant and all that stuff)
Have you ever been hunting? No and it's not something I would ever do.
Do you like taking pictures? Yes, but I feel self-conscious if there's anyone watching me. Hence all the pet pictures :D
What about making scrapbooks? Not really my thing just because I can't visualise the whole thing - I think too literally to scrapbook!
Are you a sushi lover? I've never tried it, but the veggie stuff is meant to be really yummy. How you can tell which is which I have no idea.
What is your favourite restaurant of all time? I don't really eat at restaurants much, but Wagamama is probably my current favourite (along with this random French place that I don't know the name of - best paninis ever)
Does it annoy you when people drive slow in the fast lane? Yes! If they're doing a decent speed (i.e. near the speed limit or whatever is a good speed for the road conditions) then I have no problem at all. Drivers who drive 40 mph everywhere are a total pain. As are the people who tail-gate me for actually sticking to the damn speed limit!
What do your parents do for a living? My Dad is an accountant and my Mum is a housewife (she hates that term).
Are there any famous people you'd like to meet? Sue Perkins and Suzie and Jason from The Gadget Show
Do you get tired of hearing about celebrity divorces? To be honest, I don't really pay attention to celebrities' love lives. I think it must be incredibly hard having relationships when you have people who are interested in every little thing that you do/happens to you, so I can sort of understand why it happens so much.
What are your plans for the weekend? To figure out a way of keeping Spooks out of the bathroom long enough for me to paint it.
How often do you tan? Never - I get freckles or burn but I don't tan.
Are your nails always manicured? They're never manicured. I keep them short and just cut them when they start to annoy me.
Could you ever go without eating meat? I do. Yay veggies :D
Where is your favourite place to buy groceries? I really don't like grocery shopping, but either Tesco or Co-op.
When was the last time you took a bubble bath? Probably when I was a teenager when our house had no shower. I much prefer showers.
Do have good sense of style? Not really. My limit is figuring out what colours look good/bad on me and what colours go together.
If you could have any car, what would it be? A VW Beetle
Do you like fast food? I like some kinds of fast food - it depends on how you define it. Home-cooked stuff is always nicer though.
Have you ever flipped someone off while driving? No, but I do come out with sarcastic statements like "Thank you so much for not signalling" on occasion.
Do you like to receive compliments or give them? I'm not very good at giving compliments, but I'm also not great at receiving them! If I say the right thing then I like to give them.
Have you ever been to a casino? No and I don't plan to. They're really not my thing.
What do you do to relax? I hardly ever relax, even when I'm trying to. Usually watching a good film or a good TV programme helps though.
Do you like kids? Yes and no. Kids make me nervous sometimes, but they can be pretty cute and fun too.
Does family mean a lot to you? Parts of my family do. I'm really not very close to the majority of my family, and there are other people I value just as much.
Are you going to the beach any time soon? I hope not! My family used to go to the beach quite a lot when I was a child and I'm really not the biggest fan. The fact that they were smelly, dirty, stone-covered beaches probably had a lot to do with it, as I do quite like some of the beaches I've been to while on holiday.
What is your favourite perfume? I don't have one. Perfume tends to give me a headache :(
What is your favourite men's cologne? I don't have one.
What is your favourite type of dog? A domesticated one!! I don't really like the littler dogs, mainly because I was chased by one as a kid. A collie or labrador-sized dog is more the sort of thing I prefer - something you can actually tell is a dog.
If you had to move to a different country, which one would you choose? Maybe Australia. I haven't been to enough countries to know to be honest.
Do you like to colour in colouring books? I used to when I was a kid.
Do you think you would have been a hippie in the 60's and 70's? I think so. I'm not sure what the alternative would have been though.
Would you rather be cold or hot? Cold. I can't stand being too hot.
What is the one website, OTHER than Myspace you visit most? Probably Livejournal or MSN Games
What brand of cosmetics do you use the most often? I use various different brands at the moment, but I'm looking forward to trying Lush stuff.
What is the one commercial on t.v. that annoys you the most?
"An advert for a window fitting company. There's this bloke with an annoying accent going: "YA BUY ONE, YA GET ONE FREE! I SAY YA BUY ONE, YOU GET ONE FREE!" repeatedly. Ugh." I HATE that advert too, so I'm going to agree with Rachel :) And now I have that stuck in my head :(
Are you an early bird or a night owl? Night owl. Mornings are pretty and I prefer them, but my body/brain thinks otherwise.
Would you rather be smart or beautiful? Smart.
What is your favourite reality show? I like all the ones that they are no longer making because not many people watched them. I can't remember the names of all of them. The Mole was amazing (if only they aired it over here still) and Maestro was fantastic if that counts.
So who are you voting for in the upcoming election? I wouldn't say even if I had decided.
What ringtone is on your phone? *checks* Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. I have different ringtones for different people though.
What would you tell a 3 year old that asks where babies come from? I wouldn't. I'd tell them to ask their parents!
What is your favourite type of cereal? I'm currently addicted to Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. Clusters are great too.
Are you double jointed? No. My joints click enough as it is.
What videos do you search for on YouTube? Music videos. Cute animal videos. Computer game related ones. TV programme related ones. Depends on my mood.
Have you ever given money to a homeless person? I've given money to buskers and people selling the Big Issue.
Have you ever had to go to the emergency room? Yes. Twice when I cut my head as a kid, once when I fell off my bike and got gravel stuck in my knee and a couple of times accompanying someone else.
Who is your favourite comedian? Sue Perkins is my favourite at the momemt. I also like Victoria Wood and Dara O'Brien (sp?)
Name some foods you will not eat: Mushrooms; nut roast; kidney beans; gooey or mouldy cheese; seafood; Indian curry.
Do you have any irrational fears? Plenty! My weirdest one is probably that I'm scared of crossing wide/busy roads in case I fall down and can't get up.
Do you snoop in other people's medicine cabinets? No.
What happens if you put the "This side up" side face down while popping microwave popcorn? Knowing my record with microwave popcorn it would set on fire!
How much would you pay in ransom if someone stole your pet? "Whatever it took to get them back." This.
Have you ever eaten green eggs and ham? Eww no. I haven't even eaten normal eggs and ham for a long long time, let alone imaginary green ones.
Ever had surgery? Yes. Eye surgery twice to correct a squint. I've had teeth taken out too but I refused to have a general anesthetic for that.
Ever walked through a fast food restaurant drive-thru? No
Do you watch the Olympics? Shouldn't that be "did you"? I watched some of the Olympics, and got annoyed at the Paralympics because of all the controversy that was going on.
