Question Meme...
...Yoinked from i_chaos_bringer, who yoinked it from a friend of his named interrobang, who yoinked it from a friend of theirs named hamsterwoman. I bring all of this up only because I think "hamsterwoman" is an awesome name. If years of Weird Al fandom have taught me anything, it's that Hamsters-like Monkeys, Penguins, and Cows-are always funny.
1. The phone rings, who do you want it to be?
Hmm. Let's go with an insanely beautiful woman with lots of money. Or failing that any one of my friends.
2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Yeah, usually.
3. If you had to kiss the last person you kissed, would you?
Meh. I could take or leave.
4. Do you take compliments well?
Sometimes. I could stand to take them in and value them a bit more though.
5. Do you play Sudoku?
Give me a crossword puzzle instead, especially one of those crazy Cryptic literary ones. Tougher *and* more interesting than Sudoku.
6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness would you survive?
Depends on how Wilderness-y. If it was somewhere *reasonably* close to civilization like Vancouver Island or Whistler I'd stand a chance. If it was *way* out in the Yukon or something I'd be pretty fucked.
7. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you would save?
Me! Seriously, I'd make sure I was out of any serious danger, then go back for anyone else who was at home, the cats, the computer, TV, books, my player piano, etc.
8. Who do you text the most?
I'm still a hold-out in terms of getting a cellphone, so no one. Instant Messaging probably my friend K.
9. Favorite children's book?
Tied between Winnie-the-Pooh and The Chronicles of Prydain.
10. Eye colour?
Blue.
11. How tall are you?
5'11
12. If you could do it over again, start from scratch, would you?
Maybe if I could start over from a certain point, say from the age of 9-10 or even just a few years ago. I wouldn't see the point in going back to the *very* beginning though. Oh, and only if I could keep all of my memories/knowledge from this time around, or else what would be the chances of doing things differently this time around?
13. Any secret admirers?
If I do have any, they're doing a very good job.
14. When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?
Never been to one, actually.
15. Favorite ex?
KNN. Always something special about your first GF, even after they've gone from first GF to first ex.
16. Where was the furthest place you traveled?
Vancouver to Manchester, England-4562 Miles according to Wikianswers.
17. Do you like mustard?
Love it! Spicier=better!!
18. Do you prefer to sleep or eat?
Eat, because I'm awake to enjoy that.
19. Do you miss anyone?
Not too badly, pretty much everyone I know is at my fingertips contact-wise.
20. Can you do splits?
Not so much. Maybe after a few more years of stretching and fencing, but don't count on it.
21. What movie do you want to see right now?
It's close between X-Files 2 and Dark Knight.
22. What did you do for New Year's Eve?
Worked, went home, had a couple of drinks then hit the hay. I was tired.
23. Do you think The Grudge was crappy?
Watched part of it on TV once, wasn't too impressed, so yes. The more SMG struggles against being typecast in horror movies, the more it sticks.
24. Do you own a camera phone?
Nope.
25. Was your mom a cheerleader?
Doubt it! For one thing, they don't really have them in England, plus near as I can tell she was more or less a female version as a kid and therefore probably not the cheerleading type.
26. What's the last letter of your middle name?
"H"
27. Are you Hispanic?
I sure am, Mang! Latinos Forever! Yeh Yeh! No, not really, I'm as white as they come.
29. Do you like Care Bears?
I liked Grumpy Bear, he was pretty cool. And what was the deal with the Care Bear Cousins anyway? They were, what, an Elephant, a Lion, and a Lamb or something? And they were all the "Cousins" of a bunch of irritatingly sweet bears?
30. What do you buy at the movies?
Occasionlly, movie Nachos with that viscuous molten cheese stuff. MMM, viscuous molten cheese stuff...*drools*
31. Do you know how to play poker?
Not too well, I know the basics but would be pressed to play in a really competitive game.
32. Do you wear your seatbelt?
Sometimes.
33. Anything big ever happen in your city?
Expo 86, X-Files, Stargate, BSG, Most of My Life (which is pretty damned important to me), and I think there's going to some sort of Games held here in a little while.
34. Is your hair straight or curly?
Straight.
35. Are your ears pierced?
No
36. Do you like liver and onions?
I like onions...with pretty much anything EXCEPT liver. Just last year I tried liver, thinking that after all this time had passed and I was now an adult I wouldn't mind it, and...still tastes as disgusting as ever.
37. Do you like funny or serious people better?
Funny. People without a sense of humour annoy me to no end.
38. Ever been to L.A.?
Yep, trip to Disneyland as a kid.
39. Who is on your mind right now?
A swack of fictional characters, as usual.
40. Any plans for tonight?
Sleep sounds good.
41. What’s your favorite song at the moment?
"Iron Man" by Black Sabbath thanks to its' badass appearance in the trailer for the movie Iron Man, combined with the fact that I love that song anyway. Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh, Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh...

Space and chores, for the most part.

Depends.
47. What is your favorite time of day?
Mid-to-Late Morning, once I'm already up but there's still a lot of potential day left.

Sometimes. Not really, but maybe I have grandiose ideas of what happiness is.
49. What’s your favorite card game?
52-Pickup
50. What book are you reading right now?
