A Me-Me Just To Prove I'm Alive
1. First thing you wash in the shower?
My hair
2. What color is your favorite hoodie?
I don't really wear hoodies any more since I go to a different uni now and it would be quite odd to wear my Exeter hoodies here.
3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
Mmm, yes please.
4. Do you plan outfits?
Not very often, but occasionally I do. On 31st July this year, for instance, I intend to wear this:
5. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
Vaguely annoyed with the noisy person downstairs who insists on playing noisy music at random times of day and night. I am doing a lot of star jumps today.
6. What's the closest thing to you that is red?
My mouse, which is a groovy little ladybird, and also a random red pen given to me by a guy at King's who I enrolled onto his Theology PhD, and we had a little chat about how cool theologians are and how everyone else is inferior.
7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having?
I had a long and complicated one this morning, which involved dashing backwards and forwards between the basement of the Eiffel Tower, and the summit. I think it also involved Jaffa cakes somehow. It was fairly odd.
8. Did you meet anybody new today?
No, I haven't been anywhere and I'm still in my pajamas.
9. What are you craving right now?
Chocolate cheesecake and a sausage roll from Gregg's, in an ideal world, but it's a rather mild craving.
10. Do you floss?
No.
11. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
Being eight, and finding words that can be played on violins. Cabbage is quite tuneful, actually.
12. Are you emotional?
Occasionally.
13. Have you ever counted to 1,000?
Yes, I imagine so. There was lots of counting things in my last job.
14. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
Lick it. Biting it makes my teeth hurt.
15. Do you like your hair?
Yes, this weekend I do. I fell asleep when it was still wet on Friday night and it's got a funny little bunch of kinks and curly bits in the back.
16. Do you like yourself?
Sometimes. I try to be the kind of person that I like.
17. Would you go out to eat with George W. Bush?
Only in the context of one of those imaginary dinner parties where you go out to eat with ten famous people, or something, in which case Stephen Fry and Alan Davies would both be present. I'd make sure I was sat between them, and a long way from Dubya. One-on-one would be too strange.
18. What are you listening to right now?
Classic FM; an advert about scams.
19. Are your parents strict?
No, not at all; they were when I was younger, but I think they've lost all strictness claims by the time their youngest child is 24.
20. Would you go sky diving?
No! I hate heights.
21. Do you like cottage cheese?
Not really a fan.
22. Have you ever met a celebrity?
I met Bernard Hoose! He wasn't very nice, though. Living in London and Manchester, I've spotted various famous people, but never spoken to them.
23. Do you rent movies often?
Never; I go to the cinema or borrow DVDs from people, but not for actual real money!
24. Is there anything sparkly in the room you're in?
My sparkly tights are in the box in the bottom of the wardrobe. My jewellery box contains many sparkly things, as does my scary necklace-hand thing.
25. How many countries have you visited?
Um. Not including the UK, because I live here and don't visit; Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, USA, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Australia; 21. If you count Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, then 24. If you also count stopovers in Chile, New Zealand and Singapore, then 27.
26. Have you made a prank phone call?
I want to say no, but I was just the type of child who would have done, so I probably did at some point.
27. Ever been on a train?
More times than I could ever possibly want to; occupational hazard of a long-distance relationship and commuting to work.
28. Brown or white eggs?
Brown; I don't think I've ever consciously made this decision though, since most eggs seem to be brown.
29. Do you have a cell-phone?
No, I have a mobile phone, get water from a tap and keep my clothes in a wardrobe. Thank you.
30. Do you use chap stick?
Yes, but it's lip balm in a little pot.
31. Do you own a gun?
No, and I'm proud of that.
32. Can you use chop sticks?
After a fashion.
33. Who are you going to be with tonight?
Me and myself, and possibly Audrey Hepburn because I'm going through a phase of watching her films.
34. Are you too forgiving?
Is there such a thing?
35. Ever been in love?
Yes.
36. What is your best friend(s) doing tomorrow?
Umm... the boy will be at work, Sophie will probably be at uni in London, and Nat... ooh. I think she's still working, but may have stopped. Hannah and Lizzie will probably both be at work too, unless Lizzie's on half term again, and... I haven't had a 'best friend' since I was about 15, so I should stop before I name all my friends!
37. Ever have cream puffs?
No, I'm not a cream fan.
38. Last time you cried?
Watching Hotel Rwanda on 27th January, I think.
39. What was the last question you asked?
I don't know, but for some reason "Is this the real life, is it just fantasy?" popped into my head. I think in actual fact, I asked the boy if he was feeling woozy; when England and Wales are playing each other at rugby, he disowns his English blood and since he's only got four pints of Welsh blood, then I wondered why he hadn't fainted.
40. Favorite time of the year?
The very first bits of spring, the hottest part of the summer, the leafy-windy bits of autumn and the snowiest bits of winter. And my birthday. And Christmas and New Year.
41. Do you have any tattoos?
No.
42. Are you sarcastic?
I try to avoid it, but sometimes it's irresistible.
43. Have you ever seen The Butterfly Effect?
Yes, but I can't really remember.
44. Ever walked into a wall?
I don't really walk into them, I tend to smack random parts of my body on them. I smacked my forearm in this fashion yesterday; my bathroom is too small.
45. Favorite color?
Purple, emerald green or a really deep red.
46. Have you ever slapped someone?
Yes, my sister, and I think I slapped Jamie at school once because he was picking on me because of my braces.
47. Is your hair curly?
No, except in extreme humidity. I once had an entirely-natural white girl afro, when we went sailing in France and it was very hot indeed.
48. What was the last CD you bought?
I think the last physical CD I bought was a Maroon 5 album that I spent a lot of time listening to in third year at Exeter, which demonstrates how long ago that was. I'm all iTunesificated these days, and I think it was the new Michael Buble album, in about November. I don't buy much music.
49. Do looks matter?
Only in that it's nice to feel attractive, but not in an obsessive sense. It's never good to get hung up on your own appearance. Other people's looks definitely do not matter, although it's useful to remember that it's hard to have a relationship with somebody you find physically repulsive.
50. Could you ever forgive a cheater?
I may be able to forgive, but I wouldn't take them back.
51. Is your phone bill sky high?
I'm not entirely sure, you know. I've only just told Orange that I don't live in London any more.
52. Do you like your life right now?
Sort of; I'm generally quite happy, although in an ideal world I'd be in Bristol rather than up in Manchester, but it's all right because I have a definite end-date. I'm just a bit Colin Hay at the moment - waiting for my real life to begin.
53. Do you sleep with the TV on?
No, I don't have a TV here. I occasionally fall asleep in front of the TV at my parents' house.
54. Can you handle the truth?
Yes, it's the most important thing.
55. Do you have good vision?
Perfect, to the best of my knowledge.
56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people?
I make a point of not hating anyone; it serves no valid purpose in my life. There are people who I dislike, but I tend not to associate with them.
57. How often do you talk on the phone?
Usually every couple of days, to the boy or some relative or other.
58. The last person you held hands with?
Owain.
59. What are you wearing?
Pajamas which do not match, a blue sleeping bag and a silver and amber ring.
60.What is your favorite animal?
I'm not sure. Pigs are pretty tasty and baby kangaroos are just so damned cute. Oh! Rabbits. To look at, not to eat.
61. Where was your default picture taken at?
I think I pilfered it from Getty Images years ago.
62. Can you hula hoop?
Yes
63. Do you have a job?
Well, not a paid one; I'm a full-time student, and I volunteer at Oxfam.
64. What was the most recent thing you bought?
An onion, four carrots, some cleaning stuff, two bottles of wine and a tin of soup at Tesco. Exotic!
65. Have you ever crawled through a window?
Yes, we used to jump out of our living room window a lot when I was growing up. It was big, and just high enough to feel borderline-dangerous without getting us into trouble.
My hair
2. What color is your favorite hoodie?
I don't really wear hoodies any more since I go to a different uni now and it would be quite odd to wear my Exeter hoodies here.
