Me. Myself I. W/O

Jan 02 '04

The Bottom Line Um, this is my first W/O. Be kind, please. Thanks.

I thought I’d join in on the write-off fun courtesy of sarahlovesadam.

I hope you feel enlightened. So enlightened, in fact, that you pay off my credit card bills. Thanks.

Questions:

-Birth date: October *mumbled date,* 1978

-Height: 5' 10"

-Eye colour: Creepy green with p*iss yellow in the middle (so I am told)

-Hair colour: Brown/red. For now.

-What does your name mean: Um, ‘beloved’ *snigger*

-High school graduation year: 1996

-Favourite relatives: Everybody, even my creepy Uncle Bob

-Summer memory: Achilles tendon surgery – spent the summer with my leg elevated and wrapped in ice, incapable of movement or enjoyment of life in general.

-Favourite TV shows: The Office, Peep Show, Six Feet Under, TV Burp, Monkeydust, Little Britain, Father Ted

-What's on your mousepad: Dust (oh the joy of trackball mice!)

-In the car- ac or windows: Thanks for reminding me that I DON’T HAVE A CAR.

-Do you believe in yourself: Considering I am not a mystical creature, then I suppose that I do, indeed, have belief in myself. Sometimes I really balls things up, but that isn’t going to stop me from having faith in my abilities. I know my shortcomings and I don’t dwell on them.

-Favourite game: ‘Got your butt, Annasmell’ – a lovely game played with my (former) dog where I would grab her doggie bottom and she would attack me.

-Favourite drink: Water. It is simple. It is everywhere.

-Favourite food: Anything that doesn’t contain fungus. How CAN you mushroom-lovers out there handle the fact that you are eating something that could theoretically grow between your toes? Aside from that, any Asian food makes my tummy grumble ‘yummy’ noises.

-Favourite colours: Red

-Favourite cigarettes: *I* don’t smoke! Nope, not me. *coughs up green phlegm*

-Favourite sounds: Silence. Absolute, utter and complete silence.

-Favourite smell: Pine needles.

-Favourite thing to do on a weekend: SALE SHOPPING!

-Favourite soundtrack: Hedwig and the Angry Inch

-Where do you see yourself in 10 years: The co-owner of a hamster ranch with my lovely boy/fiancé, Robin. Paying off college debt. Owner of my very own tree in my very own garden.

-First thought in the morning: They contain expletives.

-Do you get motion sickness: I can’t tell if it is motion sickness or fear sickness due to my apprehension of flying.

-Rollercoasters- deadly or exciting: Deadly. Evil. Cruel. I generally manage to cry and vomit at the same time.

-How many rings before you answer the phone: The process is as follows: 1) Hear phone ring 2) Run to get phone 3) Trip over shoes 4) Fall down and hurt myself 5) Crawl to phone, bleeding and bruised 6) Find out the answering machine got the call 7) Yell, “BUGGER, BUGGER BUUUUUUUUUUGGER!”

-Are you a good friend: I think so. I HOPE so. Eep! Now I’m worried!

-Chocolate or Vanilla cake: Anything with the word ‘cake’ in the title has me tempted.

-What do you drive: Public transportation, generally sitting next to Bob Sh*ttyfingers with oozing green spots on his face and a tendency to belch up sick like a baby.

-Do you sleep with a stuffed animal: Kerby (dear Kerby…)

-Thunderstorms cool or scary: VERY cool, as long as I am inside where they won’t kill me.

-If you could meet one person in the World, who would it be: Nikola Tesla (if you don’t know who he is…shame! Look him up!)

-What is your zodiac sign: Libra and Scorpio…which, as far as I can tell, makes me unbalanced and crazy or summfink.

-What do you wear to bed: Some crap mid-nineties indie band t-shirt. And socks. Always socks.

-Do you eat stems of broccoli: I don’t eat broccoli.

-Guys- If a girl ever asked you for the shirt on your back, would you give it to her? N/A

-Girls- Would you ever ask a guy for his shirt? Never. I have too many of my own.

-If you could have any occupation when you get older, what would it be: Owner of a hamster ranch.

-If you could dye your hair one colour, what would it be: I’ve had it every colour now, so I would attempt to get it back to something which approaches ‘normal’.

-If you could have a tattoo, what and where would it be: I already have 4, 3 of which I hate (yes, yes, I learned my lesson…)

-Favourite brand of gum: Anybody who chews gum visually reduces their IQ by at least 50 points. Have you ever looked at a gum chewer and thought to yourself, “That person looks intelligent, kind and thoughtful.” NO! Of course you haven’t! Furthermore, most gum chewers have a complete inability to keep their gun chewing to themselves, thus forcing the tremendously annoying noises onto others. NO! I don’t want to watch you masticate that rubberised piece of candy, nor do I want to listen to the pop-snap-slurp that you feel the need to force into my earspace. There are so many people who APPEAR to be intelligent, well presented and confident, but as soon as they put a wad of gum in their mouths, they instantly become the most annoying person in the room. A word to the wise, people – have you ever looked in the mirror when you are chewing gum? Give it a try and you’ll understand what I am talking about.

-What is your favourite quote: “What’s the point in wearing your favourite rocketship underpants if nobody ever asks to see them?”

-Have you ever been in love: Yes.

-What's on your walls in your room: Original animation art cels. Dexter’s Lab, Duckman, Beavis and Butthead, Ren & Stimpy, The Smurfs, Futurama, The Simpsons, Garfield. The list goes on and on…

-Is the glass half-empty or half-full: The glass is smashed over the head of those who ask. So I think the answer might just be ‘half empty.’

-Which do you prefer- Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese Doritos: Blecht. They taste like chemicals. I also question whether they are actually made of potato.

-Favourite flavour Snapple: I don’t think I’ve ever had Snapple…

-Which one, Coke or Pepsi: Coke of the diet vanilla variety.

-Which kind of milk is your favourite: Skim. The slightest bit of dairy with lots of water added.

-If you were to kill someone, which method would you use? I would kill them with my mind.

-Are you a righty, lefty, or ambidextrous: Righty.

-Do you type with your fingers on the right keys: Yep. I’ve reached my theoretical typing speed maximum of about 3487534895 words per minute.

-When you meet a person of the opposite sex, you notice their: Nose. It is smack-dab in the middle of their face.

-What's under your bed: Java books which will (hopefully) never see the light of day ever ever ever again.

-What's the best number in the World: 4

-What is your dream car: I just want a bloody car!

-Who is your biggest crush right now: Robin, na klar!
