Questonnaire
I'm gonna do this one because it's actually quite decent questions being asked. I don't know how it differs from the original questions, as I took this version from either OC or Sipp. I'm not going to make my own questions, though I did alter the second rule.
Rules:
A) People must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
B) Don't tag any people. Refuse to do that. Seriously, it's annoying for those who can't be bothered, and who cares who does or does not fill out an online questionnaire anyway?
1) Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up:
1. My beloved jumbo SA2 Sonic
2. Shana Nendoroid
3. Cloverfield figure
4. Big Spider-Man figure
5. Cache of lollies (candy/sweets)
My room is very minimalist-looking. Most of my stuff is still boxed up (and will remain that way til I get my own place) and anything new I've mostly put away in drawers or the cupboard. I'm a collector but I gotta say I like the simplistic, clean look my room has here.
2. What is the last movie you watched?
I saw Watchmen earlier today.
3. What are you wearing now?
The flesh of another human being.
4. What's your occupation?
Unemployed bum, though I'm going to do something about that soon. I used to work at a newspaper, doing graphic design for advertising and edition control duties.
5. The best thing to happen to you as of late?
Just feeling happy again - having some good days, I guess. It's nice.
6. What is one word you would use to describe yourself?
Well, this is probably a stupid question, maybe I should have altered this one. But I'm too lazy. You can't sum a human being up in one word.
7. What book(s) are you currently reading?
Dexter by Design (Jeff Lindsay)
8. What was the last thing you ate today?
Fish and chips, plus a hot dog, which is called a 'pluto pup' in Australia (kinda lame). Weird it's still a dog reference. I don't think it's made of dog. In New Zealand a hot dog is a battered sausage or saveloy, if you want a frankfurter in a bun you'd order an "American hotdog".
9. What kind of pet do you have, or if you don't have one, what would you want to have?
Rocky is a dog of mixed breed (what breeds exactly we do not know). Labrador sized dog. He loves you unless you're a small child, so you should love him in return :)
When the time comes that he passes on I don't think I'd get another pet, but if I did it would be a sulphur-crested cockatoo. If more exoitic animals were viable I'd go for one of my fave animals such as an owl, a giant anteater, a porcupine, etc.
10. What websites do you always visit when you go online?
Sonic HQ forum and MyMedia forum (Lost, other TV shows) would be the only two I visit every day.
11. What was the last thing you bought?
Not counting things I talk about elsewhere in this questionnaire... the last stuff I splashed out on would be Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's Carmine, Papo's Allosaurus, the Bleach Best Tunes CD, and a bunch of secret figures from the Portraits range of Eva trading figures (sets 1-5, "Portaits G" and the Rebuild set) to complete my collection.
12. What are you listening to right now?
Nothing, find it hard to think whilst listening to music with lyrics (though I listened to my iPod at work all the time....).
13. What do you think about before you go to bed at night?
Urgh, too much, and as a result, that I wish I was asleep already.
14. What was the last CD you bought?
Planetary Pieces (Sonic Unleashed OST)
15. What is your favorite weather, and why?
Something like today was - warm and sunny but lacking the cruel flesh-searing heat and suffocating muggyness that is abundant here. Dad says this is what winter is like every day in Oz - I hope this is true. But honestly I like a vairety of weather, to suit different moods and thoughts - sounds weird, but it's hard to think about various fictional scenarios (creepy things, supernatural existentialism - I like to visualise stuff based on my favourite shows as real life is so boring) on bright sunny days. Also I really like thunderstorms.
16. What is the last book you read?
The last american comic I read was Sonic #195. The last manga would have been the latest chapter of something new (Eva Gakuen Datenroku, probably), but in regards to complete works I guess it's probably Digimon V-Tamer or WaqWaq - beats me, I buy, download (and now also library-loan) a lot of stuff. Last one I bought was the latest english release of Shaman King. The last art book I took a look at was Chocola 1999 (Aoi Nanase's yearly artbook, I started collecting in 2000 and recently found the '99 book on Ebay).
But if it has to be proper, novel-type books (which I admittedly don't read a lot of) I guess it'd be the previous Dexter novel (Dexter in the Dark). I want to read The Mist (Stephen King) and re-read Jurassic Park and its sequel for the third time, though! I'm getting back into actual novels... I just like to know I'm going to enjoy a book before devoting time to it - hence most things I read are based on my fave movies, TV shows, games, etc. Rather than novels I mostly read 'making of' things (eg; Half Life 2: Raising the Bar, Revenge of the Sith Visual Dictionary) in regards to actual, non-comic books.
17. If you could develop a new talent effortlessly, what would it be?
To be fluent in reading, writing and listening to the Japanese language. I'm tired of teaching myself on and off over the years. Now that I'm finally living in a location where attaining lessons wouldn't require a long journey by car I'm still not likely to go for lessons, sadly enough (due to finding a job taking priority and being nervous about these unfamiliar Australian roads and their bustling highways). So it'd be nice to just know it instantaneously like in the Matrix ("I know Kung Fu") and have it done with.
18. Name a good quality that one of your friends possesses.
Taking the time to bother reading my journal entries.
19. What's one of your favorite activities?
This is gonna make me sound boring and homebody-ish, but watching my favourite TV shows. I'm just really enjoying being able to watch Lost right now, seeing as I can watch each new episode as it hits America.
Seems like there should have been a question 20. I feel so... incomplete D:
