Look, another one, blablabla
I have stolen this from tehsmes. Memes are fun.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
Half past 6, ish. I'm finding it harder to get to sleep these days, and harder to wake up. I think one day I'm just going to stop sleeping at all (let me touch wood and say that I hope I don't actually have fatal familial insomnia!)
2. How do you like your steak?
If I'm out I tend to have meat well done just as a precationary measure, but if I'm doing it myself, I don't mind it a bit pink.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Tron: Legacy. I bloody loved it, and I don't care if that makes me a twit.
4. What is your favourite TV show?
Probably Dr Who, though I'm redeveloping my soft spot for House after getting all 7 series for Christmas.
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Just in a space of my very own, that's near to amenities and transport. As far as I can tell, cities are all pretty similar.
6. What did you have for breakfast?
A sausage roll. It was lab meeting day, so I skipped normal breakfast and had delightfully unhealthy breakfast instead.
7. What is your favourite cuisine?
Oof, probably Italian. I do enjoy Chinese and Japanese a lot as well, but mostly Italian.
8. What foods do you dislike?
Fuck off, coriander.
9. Favourite place to eat?
I like Zizzi's which is an Italian place. It's not exactly cultured but they serve amazing pasta.
10. Favourite dressing?
People have favourite dressings? o.O
11. What kind of vehicle do you drive?
I don't. I am legal for driving and all that shiz, but I can barely afford life as it is, I can't throw a petrol-guzzling monster in there too.
12. What are your favourite clothes?
I wear jeans and vaguely nerdish t-shirts. I've long given up the hope that I'm ever going to have a body that actually looks decent in any other clothes.
13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?
The Moon. Hell, just space in general.
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
Depends on the context. With regards to myself, half empty. With regards to life in general, probably half full.
15. Where would you like to retire?
I don't really see myself hitting retirement age, so it's not something I've really contemplated.
16. Favourite time of day?
Probably various points during the day at work, when we have our little lab gossips. It's where I get most of my social from. Also my commute is made infinitely better by the presence of Bus Guy; one day I might actually be stupid enough to try talking to him.
17. Where were you born?
Greenwich, London.
18. What is your favourite sport to watch?
There's something remarkable about watching gymnastics; it's amazing what the human body can do.
19. Who do you think will not tag you back?
I don't really expect anyone to read this, let alone do any tagging.
20. Person you expect to tag you back first?
Zomg, banana.
21. Who are you most curious about their responses to this?
Jebus's.
22. Bird watcher?
Boobs don't do it for me. (Hur, I made a colloquial funny!)
23. Are you a morning or night person?
I have to be a morning person due to work. However, I'm pretty sure my circadian rhythm is naturally tuned to later, so getting up as early as I do is naturally quite difficult before we throw the whole not sleeping thing in there.
24. Pets?
Not technically mine, but I do occasionally feed them.
25. Any new and exciting news that you’d like to share?
That would be assuming that I do anything aside from work and sleep and sit in a corner writing poetry about how rubbish my life is.
26. What did you want to be when you were little?
An astronaut. Still do, sort of.
27. What is your best childhood memory?
Don't really remember much. My earliest memory is being sat on a step outside our block in Germany eating a Mini Milk though. Mmm.... Mini Milk....
28. Are you a cat or a dog person?
Honestly, I don't like animals much at all. I'm not comfortable or confident with things I can't understand or predict (also why I dislike drunk people)
29. Are you married?
Baaaaaaaaaaaahahaha, let's hurry away from this question, shall we?
30. Always wear your seat belt?
Totally.
31. Been in a car accident?
Yes, icy road, other car spun into us, totalled the car. No-one was hurt, which is good, but I was only about 10 at the time so it was a bit :s
32. Any pet peeves?
Hypocrisy.
33. Favourite Pizza topping?
Hm... I like buying generic cheese and tomato and adding various sorts of meat as I see fit.
34. Favourite Flower?
Can't say I really have one. Have only received flowers twice in my life; once from my Dad on my 21st birthday (which was impressive seeing how he was in Bosnia at the time) and once from an ex who had probably done something wrong and was too chicken to come out with it.
35. Favourite Ice Cream?
Anything butterscotchy/toffeish.
36. Favourite fast food restaurant?
I'm still a sucker for McDonalds, though I don't go often at all.
37. How many times did you fail your driving test?
Passed first time, purely because I wasn't asked to parallel park.
38. From whom did you get your last email?
Work email: A finance lady. Main email: iTunes.
39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
HMV. I would single handedly save them from bankruptcy.
40. Do anything spontaneous lately?
The last one was probably the whole Rome trip. Without other people to be spontaneous with, a lot of the appeal loses its meaning.
41. Like your job?
Honestly? Bloody love it, especially since it's hit an upswing this week which has sorted out the two problems I had. I would quite happily stay in this job for the rest of my life.
42. Broccoli?
Is amazing. Especially the tenderstem stuff.
43. What was your favourite vacation?
Bearing in mind I've only had two real ones, I'd say Rome. I do spend a lot of days away with my family though, and those come before any jaunts I've had alone.
44. Last person you went out to dinner with?
Myself. No friends, remember?
45. what are you listening to right now?
The Sun's Gone Dim And the Sky's Turned Black by Johann Johannsson. It's like an orgasm in my ears.
46. What is your favouite colour?
I would say purple but I'd be accused of being corporate. Orange is usually my backup.
47. How many tattoos do you have?
Zero, but I've been working on some designs. I keep on coming back to the whole "no-one's really going to see them so why bother?" kind of thing though. (I know you're supposed to do them for yourself but blah, I've spent 28 years going out of my way to not do things for myself, I'm hardly going to start now)
48. How many people are you tagging for this
Lalalanotlisteningtoyou.
49. What are you doing when you finish this
Pssh, wondering what to do for the evening, contemplating washing some clothes, feeling really tired, telling myself off for not staying for pizza and beers with the work people tonight. And generally trying to not beat myself up.
50. Coffee drinker?
Didn't used to be, have moved onto daily lattes. Though today I've had three, which is probably a fair indication of why I feel a) exhausted and b) really blue.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
Half past 6, ish. I'm finding it harder to get to sleep these days, and harder to wake up. I think one day I'm just going to stop sleeping at all (let me touch wood and say that I hope I don't actually have fatal familial insomnia!)
