we have it stolen. Yeah, anyway:
1. How can I tell if you're angry?
I will more than likely be voicing my concerns, or depending on certain cirumstances where I would be angry but doing so would be unwise, I'll be pretty damn still and quiet and might let off the odd glare in your direction. I don't like being angry, it's not constructive and I do tend to dwell on events so usually I'm angry for a lot longer than i really should be.
2. How should I behave around you if you're angry?
Decipher for yourself why I might be angry, make the reason for me being angry go away, find me a drink or distract me in a non-inane and annoying fashion.
3. How do you want me to behave when you are hurting emotionally? How is it best to comfort you?
If you've not witnessed this by now then...good. People generally tend to do a good job of this. Again, I do tend to dwell on crap, so distractions are likely a good way to deal with it. Generally, I'll be unconsolable, this is because I game on a PC.
4. Are there things we should not discuss?
erm, if there is I'll let you know. Generally though, I see little point in discussions about world affairs that don't affect the assembled parties directly. I mean, you can debate what governments should do about somali pirates, but they'll do whatever it is they'll do anyway and by all means write them a letter if it concerns you in order to influence them, but as much as I might like it otherwise, I certainly hold little sway over governments except for a vote here and there. I might however care if I personally knew of anyone being affected by such events.
5. How should I treat you when you are ill?
Erm, a cup of tea? I dunno, just ignore it, if I'm that ill I'll be in bed or hospital or a wooden box, I'll most likely deal with it my own way.
6. What makes you happy that's in my power to grant you?
To reitterate on what Phil said, I don't see people enough. Make with the social gatherings.
7. How would you like us to recognise your birthday?
If you're available, come to the pub.
8. Are there any standing categories of presents that would be appropriate or unwelcome?
I don't really expect anything as I know I'm really crap at remembering to actually get stuff for people. I should really work on that. Anyway, if for some reason you felt like getting me something I'll appreciate it, unless you're being overtly malicious. The person that gets me a barrel of spiders will rue the day their father first laid eyes on their mother.
9. Are there times of the year that are difficult for you? Please explain if you are comfortable
Not really. I might be a bit pissed off if it's cold.
10. Are there important anniversaries in your life?
I'm going to go with a rather evasive no here. There's one, but it falls under the category of things I should have let go of but haven't.
11. How do I cater for you if you are visiting me?
Depends on the time of day/occaision. Common sense, cup of tea if it's early, alcohol if it's not. Food wise I don't eat seafood and I have an ethical and moral objection to quorn.
12. If I want to contact you, how should I do it?
Phone, text, email, facebook, twitter, LJ, Half-Fish, Other people I know. The best way is speaking in l33t using deposits into my bank account....I will laugh my ass off if anyone reads this, becomes stupidly wealthy and I find myself £8,008,135 better off :P
