Who gave you time to cry and time to find yourself?

[tycho]

Working at the Quarter yesterday, none of us realized that it was April Fools Day until after work had finished. ^_^; Whoops.

80 Things You Might Not Know About Me.....
There weren't actually 80 questions, so I added my own being the meme-whore that I am.

1. What's your middle name? I don't actually have one. My parents never got around to adding one to mine. I was the first-born thus even though Sis's name was themed with mine the one letter difference was enough to confuse the majority of people who would encounter the both of us despite different pronunciations. So they added a middle name to Sis's. And for the record, no it isn't Bob. That's a completely different story.
2. How big is your bed? Single. Just like my love life. *mock sob* Is there any doubt why I prefer to sleep over at other people's places?
3. What are you listening to right now? Evil Nine - Restless.
4. What are the last 4 digits in your cellphone number? 1679
5. What was the last thing you ate? Rice, BBQ Pork slices, Crispy Skin Pork, Lemon Honey Chicken, seafood claypot and Bok Choy in garlic sauce. Dinner, so to speak.
6. Last person you hugged? Mmm... huh, it'd probably have to be Eloise. So it's been a couple of days since I was last hugged. ^_^;
7. How is the weather right now? Apparently it's meant to be in the low 20's today. Given that I've yet to take a single foot outside, I have no idea of whether or not it is what has been said.
8. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? Khoa, organizing a massive gathering of all the ol' crew for this Easter Weekend. We're gonna have a BLAST!
9. What is the first thing you notice in the opposite sex? Shoulders and legs. Then everything else which a guy notices. ^____^ Followed up with a rather quick critique of her outfit. More often than not, it screams out "Don't touch with a forty foot pole." ... And burn the pole afterwards.
10. Favorite type of Food? - Pizza. I miss it. >: <-- Unchanged.
11. Do you want children? Honestly, I think it is far too early for me to be comfortably thinking about them. That being said, it isn't out of the realm of possibilities.
12. Do you drink? I've been known to take a snifter at Christmas. ... If I actually had glasses which could properly take a snifter of cognac. Otherwise, I drink all year round. Generally I've been cutting back which I find gives me far more fun.
13. Ever get so drunk you don't remember the entire night? Weeeelll, not the entire night. I can usually remember everything up to a point. Then when we kick out the jams and take the drinking to the next level does everything black out.
14. Hair color? Currently black.
15. Eye color? Dark Brown.
16. Do you wear contacts/glasses? Glasses. Tasteful oval shaped ones.
17. Favorite holiday? Chinese New Year.
18. Favorite Season? Winter.
19. Have you ever cried over a girl/boy? *coughs* Not gonna say!
20. Last Movie you Watched? *scratches head* What was that godawful b-grade movie Bob was watching the other night? Oh yeah, The Sniper 2.
21. What books are you reading? Lindsay Clarke - The War of Troy. Also re-reading Kylie Chan's "White Tiger", Frank Miller's "300" ( I couldn't help myself ), Glen Cook's "The Black Company" and Dan Abnett's "Ravenor Returned". *shrugs* It isn't hard to keep all the different plots together in one's head. Best I ever did was read about 7 books, stop whenever I got to a boring bit, moved onto the next one, rinse lather and repeat.
22. Piercings? None.
23. Favorite Movie? Fight Club, the Usual Suspects, Happy Feet, Serenity, Kiss of the Dragon, Once Upon A Time In China, Fearless, Versus and Sin City.
24. Favorite college football Team? None. I don't support football which isn't... football. None of this adapted crap where the old country game wasn't good enough for these bloody colonies, oh nosiree. PADDING? HELMETS? Pointless tossers, the whole lot of them.
25. What were you doing before filling this out? Trying to wake up with a little morning ritual. It's called "What pointless can attract Tycho on his friends list this morning which will help procrastination?"
26. Dogs or cats? I like 'em both, but I've noticed that cats don't set off my allergies quite as violently as dogs. Plus Shea's latest pet, Mao, has really grown on me. Rabid little fluff ball and all that.
27. Favorite Flower? Lilies.
28. Have you ever loved someone? Yeah, I'd say so.
29. Who would you like to see right now? *cough* I'm trying to build up some plausible deniability here so I won't actually say.
30. Have you ever fired a gun? Yes, and I'd like to get some more practise in.
31. Do you like to travel by plane? One of these days I'm going to travel by first class ticket just so I can see the attraction of being locked up in a flying tin can.
32. Right-handed or Left-handed? Born a left-handed individual but due to peer pressure and kindergarten teachers practising ostracization on kids who didn't conform to the right handed gestures, I became right-handed. Still am far more talented in certain ... actions with my left hand over my right. And the muscles on my left arm are better developed than my right arm's in no way relating to such actions.
33. If you could go to any place right now where would you go? I honestly have no idea right now. My mind is a blank.
34. Are you missing someone? More than just one.
35. Do you have a tattoo? Y'know this question tends to come up alot on these sorts of survey memes. It'd be a far more interesting question if one could say put something like "describe your plans for a tattoo and where would you put it?" Actually now that I think about it, I'm going to add this question to his meme just because it will be much more interesting that way.
36. Do you still watch cartoons on Saturday mornings? On the offhand chance that I'm actually AWAKE on a Saturday morning, morning cartoons do sound rather attractive. Unfortunately I'm rarely awake early enough to watch morning cartoons on a Saturday morning, let alone lacking a hangover which would detract from the whole enjoyment of morning cartoons in general.
37. Are you hiding something from someone? *whistles innocently*
38. ARE YOU 18? I'm 24. Which I guess could be considered as ancient. Though I still get my age mistaken by many out there. Some think I'm far far younger than I look, while others are confused when they find out I'm older than I look. So it could be said that I'm as ageless as a fine work of art!
39. WHAT IS THE WALLPAPER ON YOUR CELLPHONE? *coughs guiltily* Uh, I actually haven't changed it from the default.
40. DID YOU GET ENOUGH SLEEP LAST NIGHT? Highly doubtful. Crashed at Nick's couch on Friday night after his big piss-up. Was alot of fun, but nonetheless only got about four hours of sleep before waking up around 6 am. Quietly left to go home and try and get some sleep. It was about 9 by the time I got back, and seeing that I was meeting up with Shea for Yum Cha at 1, it didn't seem good for my sleeping patterns if I caught a quick catnap. By the time I got home on Saturday night it was around 10, and I thought "hmm Tycho you cad, you really should get some sleep after posting about what has happened." And I did attempt to sleep but I just couldn't, my mind was racing around so much. So I arrived at work having not slept in 25 hours. Proceeded to take it sideways by everybody in the city who wanted breakfast. Incredible that people could wait so patiently for breakfast when usually we're copping an earful about how late and bad things can happen. So got home, ate and FINALLY slept around 11 o'clock. What fun, neh? Slept about 12 hours and feel as if I desperately need more or else I'm going to die.
41. FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THIS MORNING? I want more sleep. See above question.
42. WHAT DO YOU HAVE HANDY AT YOUR BEDSIDE? Lamp, thing to hang my clothes on and bookshelf. An entire floor to roof high bookshelf. ^___^; Yeah I'm a book nerd.
43. GRILLED OR FRIED? Hmm, good question. Generally I find grilled stuff a little dry to my taste unless there's a really good sauce to go along. Granted most of the fried stuff I've eaten over my lifespan was all done by my father which is incredibly good stuff. Really. And rarely doesn't put a sauce on it. Mmm, my toes are curling in memory response.
44. WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE? My big, brown, puppy-dog eyes; my wicked sense of humour; my perverted sense of fairness; and my completely degenerate behaviours. ^___^
    Or rather to put it bluntly "This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time. You are not a beautiful snowflake! You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else! We are all part of the same compost heap! We are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world! You are not your bank account! You are not the clothes you wear! You are not the contents of your wallet! You are not your bowel cancer! You are not your grande latte! You are not the car you drive! You are not your fucking Khakis! You have to give up. You have to give up. You have to realize that someday you will die. Until you know that, you are useless." - Brad Pitt's rant as remixed by the Dust Brothers.
45. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? When I was a child, I was terrified of the dark. I wouldn't enter a room without turning on the lights or if I absolutely positively had to, I'd run in grab what I needed, then bugged out of there. Then I grew up.
46. FAVORITE HANGOUT? Toss up between Max Brenner's, Minotaur and Robot Bar.
47. 3 THINGS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT? Air, Food and Sex. I'd give up water for sex, sure!
48. FAVORITE SONG? I have so many it is hard to choose. However the one I'm listening to currently is pretty high up there: Hyde with Zilch - "Electric Cucumber"
49. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? Failure is a major one.
50. ARE YOU A GIVER OR TAKER? *coughs and spits milo onto screen* W.T.F? I don't expect this question outside of a fetish club. ... Or a gay club now that I think about that, but it has been years since I was to one of those.
51. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES? Tycho, Tyk, Chinks, Chinga, Monkey Boy ( Curse you high schools of the world! ), Psycho, Psycho Tycho ( With good reason ), Ty.
52. WHAT IS YOUR DADS MIDDLE NAME? o_O I don't think he has one.
53. What is YOUR MOTHERS MIDDLE NAME? Susan.
54. STUCK ON A DESERTED ISLAND & COULD TAKE ONE THING? My personal teleporter machine.
55. FAVORITE T.V. COMMERCIAL? It's the Honda advertisement which involved having the multiple parts of the Honda Accord put into the chain reaction. The full ad goes for about two minutes or so, which generally gets reduced down to a thirty second cut for most television ads. Here's the youtube link for the ad in full.
56. FIRST THING YOU'LL SAVE IN A FIRE? Barring people and pets, my computer's box.
57. What's your favorite color? Dark blue. Weird I know, but that's just the way I'm wired.
58. WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU ALWAYS TAKE WITH YOU? Cell phone, wallet, keys, lip balm, glasses and more often than not, mp3 player.
59. WHAT DID YOU WANNA BE WHEN YOU WERE A KID? Assassin, Gaming Reporter, Game developer or rich bludger. The last one aim hasn't changed much over the years.
60. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY DO WHEN THE CLOCK TURNS 11:11? Being awake?
61. THE COLOR OF YOUR BEDSHEET? *glances over shoulder* Err, it's a Hawaiian bright combo.
62. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED? *shrugs* Nothing specific. Barring "God I need sleep".
63. Describe the idea/design behind your next tattoo: I'm going get my name in Chinese characters tattooed in a straight line down, much like such calligraphy is meant to be written. The definitive problem I can see with this is 1.) my arms aren't tree trunks so that is going to restrict the size of said tattoo. Second, would be the fact that whilst I can write said name in pen, proper chinese characters are done by brush and I really do wonder if the tattoo artists in question would be able to do it properly. I really should start shopping around for good tattoo artists since I've only got about three months to go before that whole full year runs out. The idea is that if you change your mind about your tattoo over the course of a year, then don't get the tattoo until it solidifies down to a definitive image which you want on your body for the rest of your life.
64. Where are you going to put this tattoo? Left upper arm.
65. What is you favorite form of procrastination? Reading. Followed closely by eating or sleeping.
66. What is it about your favorite comedian which entertains you? Generally the deliciously wicked sense of humour is what attracts me to attend gigs done by comedians. Unless they have a really annoying voice in which case it drives me nuts.
67. Name a band/artist who you think no-one else has heard about: Shootie HG.
68. Describe the weirdest item you have on your desk Uh... well it's not really an item by itself, rather a pile. I have forty ol' 1.44 mg disks. I think about fourteen of them hold Windows 3.01 edition. I think. Perhaps I should donate it to a museum.
69. What's the most entertaining prank you've pulled for April's Fool Day? Last year, we had Jess convinced that Theo was single, and that Sophie woman who came round to hang with him and the little girl along with her were simply Theo's sister and niece. After she had finished her shift at DeGraves and came up to find out what was going on. Sophie was still there, and approached Jess to say "Hi, you must be Jess"
    "Hi, who are you?"
    "I'm Sophie, Theo's wife."
    The rest of us just sitting around either finishing/starting out break tried oh so very very hard not to laugh at her. We really honestly did. I'm still amazed Jess calls me one of her friends every now and then.
70. What television series is your guilty pleasure? Entertainment Tonight.
71. What is something you can do which freaks other people out? I crack my knuckles. Loudly.
