My entry into Sarahlovesadam's Write-off. For more details follow this link: http://www.epinions.com/content_3654459524 -Birth date: January 10 -Height: Well I must be average because I fill the length of a standard issue University bed. -Eye color: Hazell -Hair color: Dark Brown -What does your name mean: My father was a cook, or something like that. -High school graduation year: 1998 -Favorite relatives: My uncle on my mother's side- he's a gentleman from a lost age of chivalry. I don't mind having to control my language when I'm around him (something I'm very good at, despite being fond of the S and F-word when in an angry mood, which is quite often) -Summer memory: One that sticks in mind presently is a summer holiday in Holland. Me and my travelling friend were sitting on the step at a train station and I was trying out something new- an ice cream with mixed fruit chunks. It was in a styrophone cup and suddenly some out of his head stoner (you get a lot of them in that liberal country) came on the scene and without warning reached out and crushed my cup spilling ice cream on himself and demanding I give him the cleaning bill. I responded quick.... by running off and abandoning my friend to face the music. That's what I proudly describe as my "a*shole manouevre". -Favorite TV shows: Dawson's Creek, Doctor Who, Cracker, Star Trek, Powerpuff Girls, The Young Ones, Adam and Joe Show. I like vintage Buffy as well. -What's on your mousepad: We only have wooden tables in the University Library. -In the car- ac or windows: If the other person's smoking, I stick my head out the window. -Do you believe in yourself: No, I have too many issues to be confident or independant. -Favorite game: Playstation games: Grand Theft Auto 2, Resident Evil 2, Worms...... Early 90's games: Sonic the Hedgehog, Doctor Who: Dalek Attack, Zool, Robocop vs Terminator..... Old School Arcade games: Tron Light Cycles, Asteroids, Space Invaders..... Online games: Michael Jackson Baby Catch, Pimp Quest, Pico's School. -Favorite drink: Pineapple Juice -Favorite food: Off the top of my head (I'm currently very hungry) a Turkey Burger with mayonnaise and ketchup. -Favorite colors: Purple, green, your basic stoner colors. (Not that I've ever done drugs of course) -Favorite cigarettes: I don't smoke. I was always the tobacco fascist of the family. As a kid I threw tantrums every time someone lit up. Evcen today I wince when I step into an overly smoky pub. -Favorite sounds: Trickling water, a harpsichord, and the singing voices of Martika Mozart (yes she's married to Mr. Michael Mozart now), Stevie Wonder, Lisa Stansfield, Prince. -Favorite smell: Anything that emanates from a sweets factory. I also love the smell of old steam trains, and the scent of pine trees. -Favorite thing to do on a weekend: See a film with the University film society. I'd go dancing at a retro nightclub instead but its too bloody cold this time of year to hit the town. -Favorite soundtrack: That'd be Prince- "Purple Rain", but the Kill Bill soundtrack is fast growing on me too, as is the two songs performed by the band who appear in the French film "Subway" -Where do you see yourself in 10 years: In the suburbs with a girlfriend, both oozing with extrovert confidence and good conversation, cured of my depression, and sending money to charities for third world countries, cancer research groups and organisations against child abuse.I'd also like to host 80's music parties. -First thought in the morning: I'm usually still asleep in the afternoon. Usually my dreams consist of reliving unpleasant experiences in a self-healing kind of way. -Do you get motion sickness: No -Rollercoasters- deadly or exciting: Suffering from a stress related nervous disorder because of intimidating encounters with undesireables of various age groups, I usually find rollercoasters dwarfing and scary and can't imagine myself enjoying them for the fear. But my travelling friend (mentioned earlier) has ways of persuading or tricking me to get on them. He once led me to a queue in Disneyworld Paris which I assumed was just a jungle maze. He then pretended to be really interested in me telling him about the satanic mythology in the film "The Omen" (one of my favourite films). I became so engrossed in my explanations of the "unholy trinity" that I realised too late I was being locked into a rollercoaster that does an upsidedown loop and two corkscrews, and does all this running backwards. I whacked him several times for that one. -How many rings before you answer the phone: 7-9. For the first three rings I don't bother moving out of my comfy state of veging, then I get pi*sed off and run to answer it. -Are you a good friend: I like to think I'm understanding, caring, willing to share happiness, and a good listener, but all my ex-friends would disagree with me on that. -Chocolate or Vanilla cake: Chocolate. -What do you drive: Don't have a car. Want one -Do you sleep with a stuffed animal: Nope, but I've been known to hug them when I get heartbroken, even though its an embarrasingly unmanly thing to do. -Thunderstorms cool or scary: Scary, it feels unpleasantly like being in a bombing blitz- you don't know where it will strike. -If you could meet one person in the World, who would it be: Martika Mozart -What is your zodiac sign: Capricorn, but I don't believe in starsigns. -What do you wear to bed: Just an oversized t-shirt and loose underpants -Do you eat stems of broccoli: Only if Christmas tradition demands it. -Girls- Would you ever ask a guy for his shirt? I am a guy -Guys- Would you ever give a girl your shirt? No, I'm a tight, selfish bastard when it comes to going out on the town, even when the prospect of busting a nut with a hottie crops up. Besides I think one night stands can more often than not bring out the worst in people -If you could have any occupation when you get older, what would it be: I'd like to be an actor. I'd like to project emotions and become fictional characters in fantastic situations. Plus it'd be great to mingle with film and music celebrities, and be pined for by women everywhere. -If you could dye your hair one color, what would it be: ginger. With the weight I'm putting on, I'd look like Freddy Lounds from "Manhunter" -If you could have a tattoo, what and where would it be: I'd quite like to be like Randall 'Tex' Cobb's Hells Angel character from "Raising Arizona" and have "Momma didn't love me" tattoed on my chest. -Favorite brand of gum: Wriggleys, but I don't know any other brand. -What is your favorite quote: "Everything's such a mess"- the lovely male-bonding hugging scene from the film Car Wash, because it usually fits the state of my mind, my life and my bedroom. If I was to pick a quote from a famous historical figure I'd pick Gandhi, which if i remember correctly runs something like this: "By not fighting back we shall show them their own violence and their own ugliness and it will hurt them." -Have you ever been in love: Yes, four times. The first three were girls in my acting class, and strangely enough they were all called Katherine. Two of them were really sweet but just wanted to be friends, the other dated me for two weeks and then they turned ugly and I was a fool still in love with them. The fourth was just a chance encounter in a bar with a girl, and I became lovestruck over her. Sadly she was someone I only met once, I don't think she knew how I felt about her either. -What's on your walls in your room: Haven't put my posters up yet. -Is the glass half-empty or half-full: Half empty would be the right answer, I do suffer from depression. -Which do you prefer- Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese Doritos: Well I guess Nacho Cheese. I don't like Doritos, but they're my favourite flavour. -Favorite flavor Snapple: Never had a snapple in my life. Maybe next time I visit America I'll sample a snapple. -Which one, Coke or Pepsi: Coke, when I drink pepsi, it tastes too watery somehow. -Which kind of milk is your favorite: anything overly creamy -If you were to kill someone, which method would you use?: I'd snipe them Leon-style, but instead of a silencer I'd use the machine gun. I just love the sound of the air crackling and the kick of the tremendous vibrations and seeing a volley of plugs hit my target..... not that I've ever used one, I just watch them in action in movies. -Are you a righty, lefty, or ambidextrous: My family is very left, but for me the government can be quite hard to hate most of the time. I've had opinions for them and against them recently over the Afghanistan war, partly because the News seems to be a bit more honest a bit quicker in this day and age, and lets me know about the civilian casualties. -Do you type with your fingers on the right keys: Yes. -When you meet a person of the opposite sex, you notice their: eyes, face and shoulders, I like the delicate china doll look. -What's under your bed: dirty socks -What's the best number in the World: 5, a nice round number you can fit the essentials in, and a few 'in case of boredom' items/people. -What is your dream car: Something red and streamlined, with detachable roof, and a good speaker system. -Who is your biggest crush right now: Sherilyn Fenn -Nickname: "Cooky" (I changed it to Cocky for the porn name W/O) or "Cooky Monster" -not bad being named after one of the coolest characters on T.V.- these were my polite schoolyard nicknames, less polite ones were "smelly c*nt", "poofta", "gaybod", "tramp" and "scruff". -School: University -Bacon Bits Or croutons: Bacon Bits are more delicious. -Favorite Salad Dressing: Mayonnaise -Do you Drink: No, I don't like the taste of alcohol -What type of Shampoo/Conditioner: as Scotty would say after trying to remember the name, "It is green." -Have you ever been skinny dipping: No. Might do one day though- you should try everything in this life, unless you're a lazy git like me. -Do you make fun of people: Only behind their back, and usually its about strangers. I'm pretty harsh with the obese. I never understand people who insult strangers to their face though, or the people who think it's somehow brave, its malicious, antisocial and borders on being unrestrained in a psychotic way. -Have you ever been convicted of a crime: No, but I've been cautioned. -One pillow or two: 1, it feels better for my neck. -Pets: We've ran out of them -Favorite Movies: Star Trek IV- The Voyage Home, The Omen, La Femme Nikita, Dark Water, Boyz N The Hood, Blade Runner, Once Upon a Time In America, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Ring, The Sixth Sense, Strange days, Tron, The Time Machine, Westworld, Children of a Lesser God, Reservoir Dogs. -Favorite type of music: anything from the 1980's, regardless of genre- Punk, Ska, Pop, Hip-Hop, Electronica, Funk, Dance: To name a few I'm a listener of The Specials, Madness, Martika, Shalamar, ABBA, Grandmaster Flash, Slick Rick, The Human League, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Prince, Cathy Dennis, Lisa Stansfield, The Clash, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Sting -Hobbies: music, net surfing, watching films.... I need to take up something more healthy and extrovert. -Word or Phrase you overuse: Unbelievably childish of me but I use the word "Eee!" to feign disgust at dog crap on the street, awful dialogue in trashy British soaps, or interviews with pornstars with big egos. Yet anything that provokes feeling from me, even of disgust, compells me to keep watching. -Toothpaste: Colgate. -Piercing or tattoos: none, i don't believe in mutilating my natural body, which is strange because I abuse it enough with all the junk food and lack of exercise i indulge in. -Do you get along with your parents: No. I start speaking to them and within minutes I'm shouting at them and have to leave the room/hang up the phone. -Favorite beer: I don't drink -Favorite song at the moment: At the moment it is either the version of "Blue Moon" played at the end of "An American Werewolf in London" or probably Lisa Stansfield- "This is the Right Time", the latter is probably the most beautiful dance song I've ever heard. A brilliant encapsulation of the end of the cynical 80's, and all the hoped for new age understanding and social freedom that would come in the 90's as long as we kept on dancing and (in the words of Bill & Ted) being really excellent to each other. -Most humiliating moment: Is there another moment as humiliating as the pens story? Probably when I showed "Dark Water" at a video party with friends and I was the only person who was crying at the end. -Favorite Holiday: Los Angeles, I enjoyed 5 days of beautiful sun, I visited Disneyworld, met many cool people, walked Hollywood Boulevard and saw the big Hollywood sign.
