Randomness.
After being plugged by kressel:
Life is being topsy-turvy at the moment... I'll update fully on that once I've sorted things out.
Got my trouser leg snagged in my bike chain this morning, now have yet another hole in trouser leg (it has happened before), grease on trouser leg and grease on hands as the chain came off and I had to put it back on. Grr.

[05] I will never forget: The feeling I got when I first did sabre matches rather than foil. "OMG THIS IS SO COOL!"
[06] I once met: Chip & Dale.
[07] There's this person I know who: Cannot get it into his head that people can live without a relationship of some kind. Conversation of last Wednesday: "I don't get it. You're cute and all. If I wasn't married then..." "T, I'm so very happy that you're married."
[08] Once, at a bar: I witnessed a guy drink a pint of Guinness in 4.1 seconds.

[12] Next time I go to church/temple: I'll probably be playing the flute.
[13] Terri Schiavo: May now rest in peace.
[14] I like: Reading, sports, having dinner with friends.
[15] When I turn my head left, I see: Cards on the wall.
[16] When I turn my head right, I see: A computer.
[17] You know I'm lying when: I blow my cover by giggling.
[18] In grade school: (Is that primary school? If so:) I always forgot to return my finished book to the school library on Thursday afternoon and then had to do with the same book for yet another week.
[19] If I were a character written by Shakespeare: I'd be one of the clueless maidens.
[20] By this time next year: I will have been in Iceland.
[21] A better name for me would be: I think my name suits me, really.
[22] I have a hard time understanding: Why my sister chose to do Greek instead of Latin in school.
[23] If I ever go back to school I'll: Do something that I like.
[24] You know I like you if: I attend to your conversations. (*sigh* Bring it on. Who is saying it?)
[25] If I won an award, the first person I'd thank would be: I honestly don't know... probably my parents though.
[26] I hope that: I'll find some direction soon.
[27] Take my advice: Take up a sport.

[37] My favorite blonde is: My sister.
[38] Paper clips are more useful than: Perfume.
[39] If I do anything well, it's: Procrastinate.
[40] And by the way: I scored three points in a match to five against the Dutch Champion yesterday.
[41] The last time I was drunk, I: Slept a lot the next day.
[42] My grandmother always: Serves soup at dinner.
Total number of books owned: Er. Around 150? For reference I present the picture. And I've added since then, and there are some 30-40 at my parents'.
- The last book I bought: Did a Pratchett spree at the ABC: Thief of Time, Night Watch, Monstrous Regiment. Plus Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
- The last book I read: The aforementioned Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Which, well. I suppose the humour's great but maybe I wasn't in the right mindset. I can *see* why it's fun but I'm not laughing most of the time.
- Five books that mean a lot to me:
Dear Enemy - Jean Webster
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë
The Bible
Metamorphosis - Publius Ovidius Naso
The Moving Finger - Agatha Christie
May be a bit of an erratic list, but these are the books I keep gravitating back to again and again.
- Tag 5 people and have them fill this out in their ljs:
I wouldn't be surprised if most of you have done this by now. But feel free.
