(no subject)
Ok, so this isn't a real survey. I've walked home, cooked some food, and am now trying to find things to do before sleep, for no apparent reason.
Thus,
Are you wearing a necklace?
Yip. Always wear me bird. One of it's wings broke off while I was traveling though, I was very sad. Not really sure what to do with it now.
2. Does your computer have a mouse?
Well this is written on my dad's laptop downstairs as I...don't have internet on my computer here yet. So no. But on my computer I do indeed have a mouse. A razer copperhead, to be exact.
3. Who is the main person you talk to in each of your classes?
Me? Remember back to a year ago? While drunk? No!
4. Do you have a cut on your face?
Don't seem to.
5. What color is your shirt?
A kind of christmas tree'ish green. With a christmas tree on it. And "let's get lit" scrawled on it. Tis the season. No I didn't buy it.
6. How many bedrooms do you have in your house?
3 at the moment, going to be four once it's all fully finished and stuff!
7. What song are you listening to?
Right now, nothing. In general, Bright Eyes - Haligh, Haligh, a lie. Awesome it is. Can't find his new solo album anywhere though. You know, in record shops, where I look for albums to download.
8. What's the last mall you went to?
Eyre square shopping centre, yesterday, to pick up a new supply of contact lenses! To anyone who wears contacts, get monthly day and night lenses - you can sleep and shower in them! It's almost like you're a real person.
9. Are you alone?
Yup. Feeling a bit alone in general at the moment also, which is a bitch as I have lots of friends and don't want a girlfriend so don't really know a solution..
10. Do you have any older siblings?
Yip, the sister. Must contact her or something. For very close siblings we're extremely bad at keeping in contact. Guess it's a personality trait we share.
11. What is the last thing you ate?
Black pudding on toast about five minutes ago. I couldn't afford curry chips, okay?
12. Who was the last person that came over to your house?
Finbar, I think, we were very drunk on wednesday so he just camped out here.
13. Who was the last person to call you?
Chris from school. Seeing if I was around for playground madness at 3am. I was.
14. Who was the last person who texted you?
Neil, telling me the way they were walking so that I could meet them. Cus I went to the arch on my own and for the first time ever didn't know a single person there. It was quite horrible.
15. What time is it?
05:10.
16. What should you be doing?
Sleeping or failing to write songs. Writing while drunk always seems so fulfilling, yet the lyrics are so very crap in the morning.
17. Who is the last person you IMed?
Sam, I believe! Or possibly Kareem. Don't really IM anymore, not having the internet on my pc and all.
18. Did you go out to eat yesterday?
Nope, went out the day before yesterday, and again today. You know, in case you thought I wasn't filthy rich.
19. What are you thinking right now?
That I really ought to try this whole "relationship" thing again. It just scares me so. About time I got over it, though.
20. What color are your pants.
Denim blue. For they are jeans. Smelly, smokey jeans.
21. What color is your keyboard?
She's black, so she doesn't get stained.
22. What do you feel like eating/drinking?
No food, feel like drinking some more milk, which I shall do RIGHT NOW!
23. Are you in college?
I shall be in a week, that's a very strange thought. Since I decided I'd go I've had tonnes of people tell me they can't see me as a college person, or that they see me as being older so it's like I'm a mature student. I never knew. I'm only 19.
24. What are the last words you wrote?
I wrote some lyrics last night...
"I'll be your warm hearted demon staying up at night
And when it gets lonely in heaven I'll be by your side
And when everyone leaves and you think I just might
I'll find you a reason, to leave me, behind"
S'alright. Doing the "lonely in heaven" thing a bit too much at the moment possibly, I do quite like the idea and all. It's always been my argument against heaven - the relativity of happiness. So it's nice to be able to use the concept in a song. That and my idolisation of girls I think are really beautiful, even if I don't really want them at all. That's a bit of a bitch that one.
25. Are you bored?
Nope, really tired though so want to finish this and get in some quick reading before sleepysleeps!
26. How many teeth do you have?I have...
27, I think. 13 on top 14 on bottom. Got one permanent tooth removed so that makes sense..
27. Miss anyone right now?
I miss my sister. I also miss lots of people to a lesser degree. And I miss sort of....the relationships I had with various friends in the last while. Like not necessarily girls I was seeing even, just...spending time with people in a way I don't think I can anymore.
28. Do you wear glasses?
Not at all. Which is strange for someone as blind as I :) I switched to 100% contacts just before I went traveling.
29. What color are your shoes?
Which shoes?! Currently I'm switching between my green ...some kind of fancy leather name I can't remember Adidas (oh so ridiculously cool) and my blue and yellow DC's with blue laces on left, yellow on right. I'm not sure which I prefer, depends on how I feel.
31. Last thing you drank? .
Milk, a few seconds ago!
32. Last word you typed
Apart from this livejournal? Umm...I have no idea whatsoever.
34. Who do you love?
My family. I'd say my closest friends, but it's a different kind of love I think. I feel very much in love with Conor Oberst right now, but that's only a gay fling!
35. What are you doing right now?
Trying to make the bag of scones to the left of me airtight so they don't go off and I can eat them for breakfast and they'll be lovely!
36. What time is it now?
5:31. No, not doing anything else, I'm just still a little tipsy.
37. What are you looking at?
My phone, not sure why.
38. What's the last words you said?
"Later man!" to Dave as I left him off near his house on the way to my house. I do love living in walking distance, I can't envision me getting a taxi unless it's lashing rain. Even then it's much cheaper than a taxi to where I used to live.
39. Do you have lip gloss on?
Nope, had weird lip gloss stuff on the last night, my friend put it on me to make me suffer, it seems. It makes your lips kind of sting, so that they get more plump and red. Evil stuff. Felt kinda like poprocks.
40. Do you have eyeliner on?
Nope.
41. Did you realize there was no question number 33?
Hahahaha, did I realize there was a numbering system?
42. Do you have a cut on your pointer finger?
Nope, have a prick on my middle finger from the tip of a guitar string, and bitemarks that broke the skin on my pinky but that's about it. That girl was fun :)
43. Where is your cell phone?
Beside me.
44. Do you have any friends named robbie?
I know a guy from school named robbie.. don't see or talk to him anymore at all really though, so I'm gonna go with no.
46. Do you have any friends named nikki?
I vaguely know a girl named Nikki. Definitely not a friend though, so it'd be a no, Jack.
47. Are you afraid of the dark?
Nope, except in dodgy alleyways, then it's a bit dodge. When it's fairly safe I really like the dark actually...
48. Did you used to watch the show "save by the bell?"
Used to?
49. are you crushing on someone right now?
Two, I guess, one not really though, just haven't really gotten used to not.."crushing on" her, as it were, it'll take a few weeks. She's still really awesome, I just don't think it'll ever happen, and there's far too many girls out there to mope about it.
50. What size shoe are you?
10. UK that is, when I was in America the shoes I bought were 11 and 12, liars.
51.When was the last time you went on vacation?
I dunno if it was a vacation, but I traveled for two months during the Summer?
....ok, so that was written while a little drunk and on the 47th question I accidentally closed down firefox and figured I'd lost it. Turns out LJ autosaved it. So this is another survey, written...5 nights later! This time I'm sober! :)
1. What's one thing thats heavily weighing on your mind?
I'm a little nervous of this college affair. I haven't gotten up at 9am in over a year, let alone...learned anything. Brain's gonna get an awful shock. And I want to make lots of new friends, actual new friends, not friends of friends who're already in college. I want to do it all by myself for once. Thus, I have to separate the two for a few weeks.
2. Whats one thing you've learned from a good friendship gone bad?
Umm, I dunno. Never concentrate on one person too much, 'cus you end up forgetting about other people. Yeah, that'll do.
3. Whats one thing you've learned lately from love?
How to shoot somebody who outdrew ya. I haven't been in love in quite a while....umm, learned from love in general? I guess I've realized I fall for girls too fast. And that's bad because they'll know and unless they've already fallen for me it kinda fucks up my chances :)
4. Is there anyone special in your life in general at the moment?
Nope. Well, there are a few special people, but no girlfriend or....similar...
5. Whats a happy time you've had in the past week?
I had a fun time with Colum tonight, hadn't really seen him properly since before the Summer. Colum's nice.
6. Is there anything in your past that you'd like to try again?
There's a few relationshipy things I'd treat much differently now. I don't think I'd like to though, no regrets and all that stuff.
7. Who do you like to spend your nights with?
Tom Jones.
8. Are you an emotional person?
Certainly, I just don't tend to express myself all that much apart from with music and I'm pretty damn smiley. And I don't like to talk about it when I'm not ok, so I just lie, essentially.
9. Are you self conscious?
I can be, I go through phases of feeling the king of the world in terms of looks when I am/have just been with some really good looking girl/ I know someone fancies me. Other times I worry constantly about how I look because the above hasn't happened for a while and I get wanting. I'm somewhere in between right now. Definitely on the king of the world side though :)
10. Do you think of others before yourself?
In general I think I do. When I know one of my friends needs something I generally do that for them before I do something I need. I'd like to think so anyway. Unless it's to do with living or something. They can all go die.
11. Whats something that can always make you feel better?
...I don't really know. I think that's why I've been a bit down lately actually, I have nothing to cheer me up anymore other than my guitar. It was always playing with my budgie, then he died so the neighbour's dog that lived outside our door took over, now we've moved and there's...nothing really! Animals though, definitely animals. Just the fact that they couldn't possibly understand how I feel makes them perfect. It's why I find it hard to talk to people about why I'm sad, they just relate it to themselves every time. Birdie didn't know why I was down, he just kept whistling and nibbling my nose until I wasn't down anymore :)
12. Who was the last person you had a crush on?
I liked a girl for a few days last week, then didn't. I think I might like one now but I'm not sure as I've only met her once yet. In general though, that'd be Caoilfhionn.
13. Where do you see yourself this time next year?
Either going into second year in college or having deferred my year and on an adventure to America!
14. Do you tend to make relationships complicated?
The only big one I had I certainly made complicated, yes. I don't know if that's a tendency though, it was one relationship, and I was much less...experienced with people in general, than now.
15. Who do you feel the most comfortable around?
Umm..Finbar or Fozie or Colum I think.
16. Is there something that you're waiting for?
College to start. A magical new girl to show up. Oh, Jen's answer reminds me - my paycheque!
17. One thing you're not looking forward to?
This whole studying/working affair.
18. How do you feel about change?
I like it in general. Well it's hard to know, the changes in me and my life in the last year have mostly been good though, so I think I feel good about change right now.
19. What are you most looking forward to?
Making new friends and joining societies and things.
20. What are your plans for your next birthday?
That's an awful long way away. No idea apart from become twenty and have an early life crisis. I didn't even want to turn 19, 20 is just ridiculous.
21. Do you even care about your birthday?
Yes, it's bad, let's everyone know 15 year olds just aren't ok anymore.
22. Do you think anyone in general out there loves you?
Anyone in general out there? Like..people that aren't my family/best friends? Well I dunno, I doubt it but that'd be nice.
23. When do you think the world will end?
When the good lord decides it's time for the rapture. Or more likely, when we destroy it somehow :)
24. Whats the most expensive piece of clothing you own?
Umm, my suit I guess, I don't exactly wear that though. Actual clothing it'd be...my new DC's. They're the new line and are blue and yellow with blue and yellow laces (I'm wearing blue on left, yellow on right, very important), and they're very awesome. 99 euro, but they were 110 in fairness. Gotta love Caoilfhionn working in the shop. Ten euro is nothing, but 99 sounds better than 110!
25. Why do you drive the car you have right now?
'Cus I got it for free. Don't think I'd get a different one even if I won the lottery or something though. I love my car. I'd just pimp up the stereo a little more than it is currently. I mean it's pimped up, but you can never have enough power.
26. Do you still talk to the person you LAST kissed?
Nope. Haven't really spoken to her since we stopped....whatever it was we were doing. Seeing? Seeing is a strange word. Bumped into her on the street drinking last week, and twas awkward. Ah well.
27. Have you ever seen your best friend cry?
Yip. Well, sorta, guys don't tend to...cry in the classic sense.
28. What kind of vitamins did you take as a kid?
No idea.
30. Did you get any compliments today?
I think someone said they liked my hair. Can't remember who though. I have black hair with blue tips now. Spikey as always, but I got the hairguy to do loads of different lengths so it's messier than normal. I like it. Violet was fun traveling, I actually got girls asking me if it was my natural colour, but would probably have gotten me beaten up if I'd kept it in Galway.
31. Are you friends with your neighbors?
Nope, should be though, really, he's only the year ahead of me and I was friends with him when I was like 8. Gimme a chance though, I just moved in!
32. What were you just thinking about?
Being 8. That was fun.
33. Name the places you have lived in?
Aberdeen, Johnshaven, Salthill (twice), Cappagh Road (twice)
34. When was the last time you drove more than 15 minutes?
A few hours ago, driving back from town...we made lots of detours.
35. Have ever had a crush your on your sister's/brother's friend?
Yup, I thought I was going to marry my sister's best friend when I was 5. It's strange, I vaguely remember her being a hot blonde girl. But like, she was 7. Thank god I have no actual image in my head.
36. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
Who the fuck let the model into my room? He's making me look bad. Oh wait! It's just my model friend Pierre. Stop making me look bad, Pierre. And why are you in my room anyway? Then I laughed at how hilarious I am, and wrote down my joke.
37. When is the next time you will make out with somebody?
Probably not too long from now. That sounds bad, I don't slut around at all at all, have kissed less than 15 girls in my life, I think. It just so happens that I'm going to be starting college and...that will probably lead to girls.
38. What's a word that rhymes with "LUCK"?
Fuck!!!!I
39. What's your favorite planet?
The Moon.
40. Who's the 2nd person on your missed calls list?
Where's my phone...
My Granny. I'm hip.
41. What is your favorite ring tone on your phone?
I have this swing jazz tone I use. It was on my phone. Don't think I've ever downloaded one..
42. What shirt are you wearing right now?
My Sziget t-shirt! SZIGET WOOOOOOOO SZIGET !!!!!!!
43. What do you "label" yourself as?
I am David, ever, only.
44. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
DC, we've been through this, journal.
45. Bright or dark room?
Dark.
46. What do you think about the person who last took this survey?
I haven't really spoken to her in...over a year anyway. Presumably she's still very nice, but I couldn't say for certain.
47. If you're alone in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep in?
The one that faces more toward Mecca. If they're parallel, I'll join them and sleep towards Mecca. Haha, muslims are funny, right?
Yeah they are! Unless it's a bunkbed, then I always go for the lower bunk. I was pretty good at claiming a low bunk early on in hostels on the trip, I got lazy near the end though, far too much drunken climbing resulted.
48. What were you doing at midnight last night?
I was driving in the middle of nowhere. I was feeling restless. It helped a little.
49. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?
It's a text from...Rozabeez. Very strange, I haven't seen or spoken to that girl in years, apparently she's in Galway though. Guess I should meet her. We'll see.
50. What just so happens to be the best song in the world?
I'm very attached to Boats and Birds, and We Are Nowhere, and It's Now (bright eyes), but neither are the best song in the world, though. I have no idea what the best is...
51. What's a word or phrase that you say a lot?
Awesome. Cus it's awesome and helps deter anyone silly enough to find me annoying for saying awesome :)
52. Who told you he/she loved you last?
I'd imagine my mother, at some point.
53. Last furry thing you touched?
My car seat. Lovely blue furry pimping goodness.
54. How many drugs have you done in the past 3 days?
None, I think. Caffeine hardly counts.
56. Do you have any film that needs to be developed?
Probably somewhere, none I plan on getting developed though.
57. Favorite age you have been so far?
18.
58. Hats or beanies?
Hats, beanies make me look silly.
59. Your worst enemy?
Tom Jones.
60. What is your current desktop picture?
No idea, this isn't my pc...one moment. Appears to be...sky blue.
61. What is the last thing you said to someone?
"Later man" upon leaving Colum's house.
62. Do you love someone?
Baby don't hurt me. I guess so, I think there's different sorts of loves. I'd tend to use it in the...girl sense. So, no. But yes, of course.
63. Last song you listened to?
Some really long named song by Deathcab for a Cutie. Giving them a shot, hated when I saw them live. Don't really like them that much so far. They're alright.
64. If the last person you spoke to on the phone was getting shot at, what would you say?
"Caoilfhionn, have you been loaning heroin money again?"
65. Do you do the games in the ads on myspace?
There are games in the ads on myspace?
66. What are your favorite Pjs?
My tartanny red pyjama pants. They're awesome. Could really do with being washed though. But washing them means losing them for a night unless I remember to put them in the dryer.
67. What do you do when you pass graveyards?
The story is in the soil - keep your ear to the ground. Awesome album name. I dunno, keep driving? Used to bless myself but...nah..
68. Have you ever seen a shooting star?
Don't think so, I've had them pointed out to me and pretended that I saw them so as not to cause a "awww you should have seen it that was really cool you missed out" from whoever said it, but I don't think I've ever actually seen one.
69. How old do you think you'll live to be?
I'd hope oldish, but I have no idea. I'd like to think I'll lead an exciting life, and with that comes the risk of...not living oldish :)
70. List five things you want to do in your lifetime:
1. Fall in love again.
2. Make music I'm really proud of.
3. See everywhere I want to see.
4. Be rich and famous
5. Be awesome
71. What do you put on your hamburgers?
Ketchup if it's just a plain burger. Whatever the kebab house put on it otherwise.
72. Do you eat raw hot dogs?
All the time. What the fuck? Don't do that. That'll give you food poisoning.
73. Do you like sushi?
From the little I've eaten, yeah, it's interesting.
74. How much salad dressing do you put on your salad?
Me? Salad? Salad would take away from meat and chocolate space. Which I need for muscle and happiness, respectfully.
Oh man I'm tired. 4.30am. Ah it's not too late. How on earth am I gonna get used to getting up at 9am though? That's just ridiculous time. I'm gonna have to be in bed by like 12 every night if I don't want to be a cranky bastard every day. I have a nice timetable though, 14 hours total (that's excluding tutorials though, haven't gotten details of them yet), I start at 11 on Mondays and Fridays, 10 the other days, which are good times to think I believe the latest lecture I have finishes at 3, which is cool. Tutorials are always lateish, but sura. Most days I'll be fairly free apart from the...middle hours. Gonna try and...do some sort of study while I'm just in normal schooling, rather than leave it til last minute like everyone tends to. I've never really studied at all, but I don't think that'll get you by in college somehow :)
..I can't remember if I already said this or not. I'm going to college! I wanted to go to America, but I couldn't get a visa very easily and the restaurant wasn't going to be open til November, which meant by the time I was over there it'd be December. Too long to wait when I can just go to college and defer a year if I want to go. I was a little depressed after I made the decision, but now I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'm going to be doing Undenominated Science, group B. Which is essentially the route to a physics or maths sort of degree. I'd like to do music in college, but I can do that in my spare time, it's not worth putting my parents through hell for. I don't think I'll look back and regret not doing it - if I don't do all I should in music in the next few years, it's entirely my own fault and I'll blame myself for being lazy, not for choosing NUIG over Limerick/Cork.
Thus,

24. What are the last words you wrote?
I wrote some lyrics last night...
"I'll be your warm hearted demon staying up at night
And when it gets lonely in heaven I'll be by your side
And when everyone leaves and you think I just might

S'alright. Doing the "lonely in heaven" thing a bit too much at the moment possibly, I do quite like the idea and all. It's always been my argument against heaven - the relativity of happiness. So it's nice to be able to use the concept in a song. That and my idolisation of girls I think are really beautiful, even if I don't really want them at all. That's a bit of a bitch that one.

28. Do you wear glasses?
Not at all. Which is strange for someone as blind as I :) I switched to 100% contacts just before I went traveling.

31. Last thing you drank? .
Milk, a few seconds ago!
32. Last word you typed
Apart from this livejournal? Umm...I have no idea whatsoever.
34. Who do you love?
My family. I'd say my closest friends, but it's a different kind of love I think. I feel very much in love with Conor Oberst right now, but that's only a gay fling!
35. What are you doing right now?
Trying to make the bag of scones to the left of me airtight so they don't go off and I can eat them for breakfast and they'll be lovely!
36. What time is it now?
5:31. No, not doing anything else, I'm just still a little tipsy.
37. What are you looking at?
My phone, not sure why.
38. What's the last words you said?
"Later man!" to Dave as I left him off near his house on the way to my house. I do love living in walking distance, I can't envision me getting a taxi unless it's lashing rain. Even then it's much cheaper than a taxi to where I used to live.
39. Do you have lip gloss on?
Nope, had weird lip gloss stuff on the last night, my friend put it on me to make me suffer, it seems. It makes your lips kind of sting, so that they get more plump and red. Evil stuff. Felt kinda like poprocks.
40. Do you have eyeliner on?
Nope.
41. Did you realize there was no question number 33?
Hahahaha, did I realize there was a numbering system?
42. Do you have a cut on your pointer finger?
Nope, have a prick on my middle finger from the tip of a guitar string, and bitemarks that broke the skin on my pinky but that's about it. That girl was fun :)
43. Where is your cell phone?
Beside me.
44. Do you have any friends named robbie?
I know a guy from school named robbie.. don't see or talk to him anymore at all really though, so I'm gonna go with no.
46. Do you have any friends named nikki?
I vaguely know a girl named Nikki. Definitely not a friend though, so it'd be a no, Jack.
47. Are you afraid of the dark?
Nope, except in dodgy alleyways, then it's a bit dodge. When it's fairly safe I really like the dark actually...
48. Did you used to watch the show "save by the bell?"
Used to?
49. are you crushing on someone right now?
Two, I guess, one not really though, just haven't really gotten used to not.."crushing on" her, as it were, it'll take a few weeks. She's still really awesome, I just don't think it'll ever happen, and there's far too many girls out there to mope about it.
50. What size shoe are you?
10. UK that is, when I was in America the shoes I bought were 11 and 12, liars.
51.When was the last time you went on vacation?
I dunno if it was a vacation, but I traveled for two months during the Summer?
....ok, so that was written while a little drunk and on the 47th question I accidentally closed down firefox and figured I'd lost it. Turns out LJ autosaved it. So this is another survey, written...5 nights later! This time I'm sober! :)
1. What's one thing thats heavily weighing on your mind?
I'm a little nervous of this college affair. I haven't gotten up at 9am in over a year, let alone...learned anything. Brain's gonna get an awful shock. And I want to make lots of new friends, actual new friends, not friends of friends who're already in college. I want to do it all by myself for once. Thus, I have to separate the two for a few weeks.
2. Whats one thing you've learned from a good friendship gone bad?
Umm, I dunno. Never concentrate on one person too much, 'cus you end up forgetting about other people. Yeah, that'll do.
3. Whats one thing you've learned lately from love?
How to shoot somebody who outdrew ya. I haven't been in love in quite a while....umm, learned from love in general? I guess I've realized I fall for girls too fast. And that's bad because they'll know and unless they've already fallen for me it kinda fucks up my chances :)
4. Is there anyone special in your life in general at the moment?
Nope. Well, there are a few special people, but no girlfriend or....similar...
5. Whats a happy time you've had in the past week?
I had a fun time with Colum tonight, hadn't really seen him properly since before the Summer. Colum's nice.
6. Is there anything in your past that you'd like to try again?
There's a few relationshipy things I'd treat much differently now. I don't think I'd like to though, no regrets and all that stuff.
7. Who do you like to spend your nights with?
Tom Jones.
8. Are you an emotional person?
Certainly, I just don't tend to express myself all that much apart from with music and I'm pretty damn smiley. And I don't like to talk about it when I'm not ok, so I just lie, essentially.
9. Are you self conscious?
I can be, I go through phases of feeling the king of the world in terms of looks when I am/have just been with some really good looking girl/ I know someone fancies me. Other times I worry constantly about how I look because the above hasn't happened for a while and I get wanting. I'm somewhere in between right now. Definitely on the king of the world side though :)
10. Do you think of others before yourself?
In general I think I do. When I know one of my friends needs something I generally do that for them before I do something I need. I'd like to think so anyway. Unless it's to do with living or something. They can all go die.
11. Whats something that can always make you feel better?
...I don't really know. I think that's why I've been a bit down lately actually, I have nothing to cheer me up anymore other than my guitar. It was always playing with my budgie, then he died so the neighbour's dog that lived outside our door took over, now we've moved and there's...nothing really! Animals though, definitely animals. Just the fact that they couldn't possibly understand how I feel makes them perfect. It's why I find it hard to talk to people about why I'm sad, they just relate it to themselves every time. Birdie didn't know why I was down, he just kept whistling and nibbling my nose until I wasn't down anymore :)
12. Who was the last person you had a crush on?
I liked a girl for a few days last week, then didn't. I think I might like one now but I'm not sure as I've only met her once yet. In general though, that'd be Caoilfhionn.
13. Where do you see yourself this time next year?
Either going into second year in college or having deferred my year and on an adventure to America!
14. Do you tend to make relationships complicated?
The only big one I had I certainly made complicated, yes. I don't know if that's a tendency though, it was one relationship, and I was much less...experienced with people in general, than now.
15. Who do you feel the most comfortable around?
Umm..Finbar or Fozie or Colum I think.
16. Is there something that you're waiting for?
College to start. A magical new girl to show up. Oh, Jen's answer reminds me - my paycheque!
17. One thing you're not looking forward to?
This whole studying/working affair.
18. How do you feel about change?
I like it in general. Well it's hard to know, the changes in me and my life in the last year have mostly been good though, so I think I feel good about change right now.
19. What are you most looking forward to?
Making new friends and joining societies and things.
20. What are your plans for your next birthday?
That's an awful long way away. No idea apart from become twenty and have an early life crisis. I didn't even want to turn 19, 20 is just ridiculous.
21. Do you even care about your birthday?
Yes, it's bad, let's everyone know 15 year olds just aren't ok anymore.
22. Do you think anyone in general out there loves you?
Anyone in general out there? Like..people that aren't my family/best friends? Well I dunno, I doubt it but that'd be nice.
23. When do you think the world will end?
When the good lord decides it's time for the rapture. Or more likely, when we destroy it somehow :)
24. Whats the most expensive piece of clothing you own?
Umm, my suit I guess, I don't exactly wear that though. Actual clothing it'd be...my new DC's. They're the new line and are blue and yellow with blue and yellow laces (I'm wearing blue on left, yellow on right, very important), and they're very awesome. 99 euro, but they were 110 in fairness. Gotta love Caoilfhionn working in the shop. Ten euro is nothing, but 99 sounds better than 110!
25. Why do you drive the car you have right now?
'Cus I got it for free. Don't think I'd get a different one even if I won the lottery or something though. I love my car. I'd just pimp up the stereo a little more than it is currently. I mean it's pimped up, but you can never have enough power.
26. Do you still talk to the person you LAST kissed?
Nope. Haven't really spoken to her since we stopped....whatever it was we were doing. Seeing? Seeing is a strange word. Bumped into her on the street drinking last week, and twas awkward. Ah well.
27. Have you ever seen your best friend cry?
Yip. Well, sorta, guys don't tend to...cry in the classic sense.
28. What kind of vitamins did you take as a kid?
No idea.
30. Did you get any compliments today?
I think someone said they liked my hair. Can't remember who though. I have black hair with blue tips now. Spikey as always, but I got the hairguy to do loads of different lengths so it's messier than normal. I like it. Violet was fun traveling, I actually got girls asking me if it was my natural colour, but would probably have gotten me beaten up if I'd kept it in Galway.
31. Are you friends with your neighbors?
Nope, should be though, really, he's only the year ahead of me and I was friends with him when I was like 8. Gimme a chance though, I just moved in!
32. What were you just thinking about?
Being 8. That was fun.
33. Name the places you have lived in?
Aberdeen, Johnshaven, Salthill (twice), Cappagh Road (twice)
34. When was the last time you drove more than 15 minutes?
A few hours ago, driving back from town...we made lots of detours.
35. Have ever had a crush your on your sister's/brother's friend?
Yup, I thought I was going to marry my sister's best friend when I was 5. It's strange, I vaguely remember her being a hot blonde girl. But like, she was 7. Thank god I have no actual image in my head.
36. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
Who the fuck let the model into my room? He's making me look bad. Oh wait! It's just my model friend Pierre. Stop making me look bad, Pierre. And why are you in my room anyway? Then I laughed at how hilarious I am, and wrote down my joke.
37. When is the next time you will make out with somebody?
Probably not too long from now. That sounds bad, I don't slut around at all at all, have kissed less than 15 girls in my life, I think. It just so happens that I'm going to be starting college and...that will probably lead to girls.
38. What's a word that rhymes with "LUCK"?
Fuck!!!!I
39. What's your favorite planet?
The Moon.
40. Who's the 2nd person on your missed calls list?
Where's my phone...
My Granny. I'm hip.
41. What is your favorite ring tone on your phone?
I have this swing jazz tone I use. It was on my phone. Don't think I've ever downloaded one..
42. What shirt are you wearing right now?
My Sziget t-shirt! SZIGET WOOOOOOOO SZIGET !!!!!!!
43. What do you "label" yourself as?
I am David, ever, only.
44. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
DC, we've been through this, journal.
45. Bright or dark room?
Dark.
46. What do you think about the person who last took this survey?
I haven't really spoken to her in...over a year anyway. Presumably she's still very nice, but I couldn't say for certain.
47. If you're alone in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep in?
The one that faces more toward Mecca. If they're parallel, I'll join them and sleep towards Mecca. Haha, muslims are funny, right?
Yeah they are! Unless it's a bunkbed, then I always go for the lower bunk. I was pretty good at claiming a low bunk early on in hostels on the trip, I got lazy near the end though, far too much drunken climbing resulted.
48. What were you doing at midnight last night?
I was driving in the middle of nowhere. I was feeling restless. It helped a little.
49. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?
It's a text from...Rozabeez. Very strange, I haven't seen or spoken to that girl in years, apparently she's in Galway though. Guess I should meet her. We'll see.
50. What just so happens to be the best song in the world?
I'm very attached to Boats and Birds, and We Are Nowhere, and It's Now (bright eyes), but neither are the best song in the world, though. I have no idea what the best is...
51. What's a word or phrase that you say a lot?
Awesome. Cus it's awesome and helps deter anyone silly enough to find me annoying for saying awesome :)
52. Who told you he/she loved you last?
I'd imagine my mother, at some point.
53. Last furry thing you touched?
My car seat. Lovely blue furry pimping goodness.
54. How many drugs have you done in the past 3 days?
None, I think. Caffeine hardly counts.
56. Do you have any film that needs to be developed?
Probably somewhere, none I plan on getting developed though.
57. Favorite age you have been so far?
18.
58. Hats or beanies?
Hats, beanies make me look silly.
59. Your worst enemy?
Tom Jones.
60. What is your current desktop picture?
No idea, this isn't my pc...one moment. Appears to be...sky blue.
61. What is the last thing you said to someone?
"Later man" upon leaving Colum's house.
62. Do you love someone?
Baby don't hurt me. I guess so, I think there's different sorts of loves. I'd tend to use it in the...girl sense. So, no. But yes, of course.
63. Last song you listened to?
Some really long named song by Deathcab for a Cutie. Giving them a shot, hated when I saw them live. Don't really like them that much so far. They're alright.
64. If the last person you spoke to on the phone was getting shot at, what would you say?
"Caoilfhionn, have you been loaning heroin money again?"
65. Do you do the games in the ads on myspace?
There are games in the ads on myspace?
66. What are your favorite Pjs?
My tartanny red pyjama pants. They're awesome. Could really do with being washed though. But washing them means losing them for a night unless I remember to put them in the dryer.
67. What do you do when you pass graveyards?
The story is in the soil - keep your ear to the ground. Awesome album name. I dunno, keep driving? Used to bless myself but...nah..
68. Have you ever seen a shooting star?
Don't think so, I've had them pointed out to me and pretended that I saw them so as not to cause a "awww you should have seen it that was really cool you missed out" from whoever said it, but I don't think I've ever actually seen one.
69. How old do you think you'll live to be?
I'd hope oldish, but I have no idea. I'd like to think I'll lead an exciting life, and with that comes the risk of...not living oldish :)
70. List five things you want to do in your lifetime:
1. Fall in love again.
2. Make music I'm really proud of.
3. See everywhere I want to see.
4. Be rich and famous
5. Be awesome
71. What do you put on your hamburgers?
Ketchup if it's just a plain burger. Whatever the kebab house put on it otherwise.
72. Do you eat raw hot dogs?
All the time. What the fuck? Don't do that. That'll give you food poisoning.
73. Do you like sushi?
From the little I've eaten, yeah, it's interesting.
74. How much salad dressing do you put on your salad?
Me? Salad? Salad would take away from meat and chocolate space. Which I need for muscle and happiness, respectfully.
Oh man I'm tired. 4.30am. Ah it's not too late. How on earth am I gonna get used to getting up at 9am though? That's just ridiculous time. I'm gonna have to be in bed by like 12 every night if I don't want to be a cranky bastard every day. I have a nice timetable though, 14 hours total (that's excluding tutorials though, haven't gotten details of them yet), I start at 11 on Mondays and Fridays, 10 the other days, which are good times to think I believe the latest lecture I have finishes at 3, which is cool. Tutorials are always lateish, but sura. Most days I'll be fairly free apart from the...middle hours. Gonna try and...do some sort of study while I'm just in normal schooling, rather than leave it til last minute like everyone tends to. I've never really studied at all, but I don't think that'll get you by in college somehow :)
..I can't remember if I already said this or not. I'm going to college! I wanted to go to America, but I couldn't get a visa very easily and the restaurant wasn't going to be open til November, which meant by the time I was over there it'd be December. Too long to wait when I can just go to college and defer a year if I want to go. I was a little depressed after I made the decision, but now I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'm going to be doing Undenominated Science, group B. Which is essentially the route to a physics or maths sort of degree. I'd like to do music in college, but I can do that in my spare time, it's not worth putting my parents through hell for. I don't think I'll look back and regret not doing it - if I don't do all I should in music in the next few years, it's entirely my own fault and I'll blame myself for being lazy, not for choosing NUIG over Limerick/Cork.
