A meme of fifty questions, which I am taking to further examine my emotions.
I did intend this to be an exercise in my continuing attempt to categorize and understand having emotions again. However, many of these questions are silly.
1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
I need to shave.
2. How much cash do you have on you?
Currently, there is no coinage or other such currency on my person. I do, however, have fifteen American dollars in my wallet and a handful of change.
3. What's a word that rhymes with “DOOR?”
Abhor.
4. Favorite planet?
I am rather fond of the one upon which I live, though I have visited a few others. Possibly it was the company, but I did not enjoy them overmuch.
5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone?
Bloody hell, I forget I have this blasted thing. Apparently it was a man attempting to sell me a satellite. I surmise this is for television, and not global espionage. In my line of work, one does never know.
6. What is your favorite ring tone on your phone?
It is the general sort. In a fit of creativity, I assigned Rachel the "Siren" ringtone, however, it sounded less like a singing nymph (they really should make that a bit more clear) and more like the world was ending. I have re-assigned her ringtone to something far more pleasant, even though she rarely calls me on the telephone. The one for Isobel is a series of bells.
7. What shirt are you wearing?
A long-sleeved cotton black one.
8. Do you “label” yourself?
I am confused by the usage of quotation marks on this question. Label myself what? I have a name, and a profession, and a host of other applicable titles. Do be more clear, if you wish to know.
9. Name the brand of your shoes you're currently wearing?
I am currently without shoes.
10. Bright or dark room?
I do prefer a brightly lit room when working, though I am equally at home in the dark.
12. What does your watch look like?
I have a pocket watch. I have owned it since 1838. It was a gift from my mother before I left for the Navy, I believe--there was an inscription, but it has long since worn off--and I am very fond of it. I have repaired it approximately seventy-four times.
13. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Reading, most likely.
14. What did your last text message you received on your cell say?
I had to consult the manual to see what this meant, precisely. No one has sent me a text message.
15. Where is your nearest 7-11?
Bolton Street, I believe.
16. What's a word that you say a lot?
According to Isobel, lately, "Bloody".
17. Who told you he/she loved you last?
Either Rebecca--before she died, of course--or Faye.
18. Last furry thing you touched?
Furry thing? Is this some slang of which I am unaware? I do not know. Isobel suggests I should have a cat, to mimic some cartoon character called "Dr. Claw". She made me say, "I'll get you, Gadget," and then fell over laughing. I am not entirely certain why this is amusing.
19. How many drugs have you done in the last three days?
I have a healing factor, and do not require drugs.
20. How many rolls of film do you need developed?
I have a digital camera.
21. Favorite age you have been so far?
150 was a banner year, as I remember.
22. Your worst enemy?
::narrows eyes::
Isobel says it is better for my state of mind that I do not dwell on him. In point of fact, I have been forbidden from mentioning the word which suggests the end of the world (I am not cheating, Isobel, you did not say I could not make references) so I do not "fly off the handle" and "break things that we'll have to pay for".
23. What is your current desktop picture?
Raven Darkholme's INTERPOL picture.
Isobel!
24. What was the last thing you said to someone?
"Please do remove your clothing from the dryer, else I shall vaporize them in order to teach you a lesson to be more punctual about clothing removal."
25. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly what would it be?
I cannot answer this question without knowing more variables. Must I fly to escape great danger? Am I very poor?
26. Do you like someone?
Actually, yes, yes I do. I like Rachel, of course, on most days. (Only joking, my dear). I quite like Isobel, even if she refuses to remove her laundered items in a timely fashion (I am not joking about that, Isobel). I also like Beatrice who is my great-granddaughter, and the young spritely Richards lass. I also find Reed Richards to be very interesting. My grandson amuses me, but I am not sure that is because I like him or because he finds me so very unlikeable.
This is likely more people than I have ever liked in my entire lifetime. How very odd.
27. The last song you listened to?
I played Chopin recently, for Rachel.
28. What time of day were you born?
I believe it was three am. The witching hour. Are you surprised? ::smiles::
29. What's your favorite number?
There is not one number I fancy more than others.
30. Where did you live in 1987?
I may possibly have been in space.
31. Are you jealous of anyone?
No one that I can currently name.
32. Is anyone jealous of you?
I am an immortal mutant with red eyes, a glowing diamond on my forehead, a rather lax moral outlook, a government job, and most of the people I know would like to kill me. I cannot imagine who would find me worthy of envy.
I do, however, have quite a lovely girlfriend. I imagine if anyone envies me anything, it would be her.
33. Where were you when 9/11 happened?
London.
34. What do you do when vending machines steal your money?
Destroy them and curse their descendants. Clone them.
...
Only joking. I have purchased one thing out of a vending machine in my entire existence, and this was last week at a SHIELD regional meeting at the CDC. It was a chocolate candy item for Isobel, who was whining about being hungry.
35. Do you consider yourself kind?
I consider myself polite.
36. If you had to get a tattoo, where would it be?
I have a glowing diamond affixed to my forehead. That is ridiculous enough.
37. If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be?
I am certain I could speak it--I have quite an ear for languages, thanks to Apoc--the mutant who altered me.
38. Would you move for the person you loved?
I did, in point of fact.
39. Are you touchy feely?
I would venture to say no.
40. What's your life motto?
Likely, "the end justifies the means."
41. Name three things that you have on you at all times:
Clothing, for the most part.
42. What’s your favorite town/city?
London
43. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
Gas for the Lexus.
44. When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper and mailed it?
I wrote Rachel a letter I have never mailed. I did send some gifts to some people I knew, however, some of them responded by attempting to blow up my home.
45. Can you change the oil on a car?
I would imagine so, I am a genius.
46. Your first love: what is the last thing you heard about him/her?
For a long time it was when she died cursing me. Recently, I had a dream about her in which she forgave me. I am not sure that I believe this.
47. How far back do you know about your ancestry?
I have been alive nearly 200 years, so at least that far. I know a bit farther back--we were all dreadfully boring farmers, and I believe we were originally of Saxon descent.
48. The last time you dressed fancily, what did you wear and why did you dress up?
Rachel and I went out to dinner, and I wore a suit.
49. Does anything hurt on your body right now?
Not at the moment, no.
50. Have you been burned by love?
Does my love having burned me count?
