(no subject)
I have a salsa craving, and a jar of hot salsa, but no change to buy salsa-delivery-vehicles (ie, crisps) from the vending machine. So I am eating hot salsa straight out of the jar with a fork, and giving myself chilli-tongue. Aaagh! :-p
This meme is from nicked_metal... I found it particularly interesting because it shows how different I am depending on what (sort of) relationship I'm in. The instructions imply that you should complete it with a particular partner in mind; I got completely different results when completing it in reference to different people.

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

So receiving gifts is not especially important to me (although I think giving them is), and quality time is, but everything else varies. Of course, the difference can be attributed to learning your partner's "language" - if I know that my partner expresses affection through one channel in particular, I become attuned to that language. To be a more accurate assessment of your preferences, rather than an assessment of communication modes within your current relationship(s), I think it ought to be done without a specific relationship in mind - if that's possible!
And now, because I am bored (and I still have chilli-tongue), a meme from why_am_i!

A - Annoyance: None recently. Yay, tranquility.

Cheapest cocktails - Font; closest and most convenient to uni - the Yellow Pub; funkiest atmosphere - probably Corbieres or the Temple; best outdoor drinking spot - probably Dukes (also for the cheese) or Rain Bar. I guess I haven't found my One True Pub yet.
