Sailling away on the Good Sheep Meme
1. Elaborate on your default icon.
It's a band photo shot at a wedding we played. The wind was mad-mad high that day. We all thought we'd blow to the moon.
2. What's your current relationship status?
Married.
3. Ever have a near-death experience?
Nigh unto clobbered in a dramatic car crash.
4. Name an obvious quality you have.
I've got a head? This is actually difficult. I don't think many of my qualities/features/what have you are immediately noticeable. I mean...most people even think that I'm taller than I am. This isn't to say that I blend into the background, I don't do, but I'm hard pressed (as opposed to olives, which are often cold pressed) to point to one obvious thing. You know, that isn't flippant, like.
5. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
Well, my iPod's offering up 'Fields of Athenry' by the Dropkick Murphys at the moment, so...I'm thinking of that one, sort of thing. Now it's the Police.
6. Name a celebrity you would marry.
Well, I'm married now; that would preclude me taking another husband. All the same, though, fancying celebrities isn't really my steam.
7. Who will cut and paste this first?
Firsty-first-firstest ever? The author, I reckon. Beyond that, it's up in the air.
8. Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity?
Jodie Foster (most often); Kirstie Alley (back in the Cheers days); Enya; Rene Russo, Linda Evangelista; somebody off Stargate Atlantis.
9. Do you wear a watch? What kind?
Citizen Eco-drive. Worn loose. Not worn whilst playing bodhran or guitar. Broken twice; fortunately, I know a watchmaker.
10. Do you have anything pierced?
Ears and nose.
11. Do you have any tattoos?
I go without ink. I don't know whether I'd always love what I'd choose, and the rest of why is covered below.
12. Do you like pain?
Not. Really. Very. Much. At All. Thanks. About the only time I tolerate it is when somebody's pounding nearly four decades of angst and argh out of my shoulders. Beyond that, sure, pain can be a grand teacher. But that doesn't mean we've got to be mates.
13. Do you like to shop?
I do more of it these days than before, but it isn't enjoyable. Loaves of bread can send me into buyer's remorse. I'll own it's a bit neurotic.
14. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
Erm...cup of tea? Perhaps? Actually, no - it was a donation to a charity at the office.
15. What was the last thing you paid for with your credit/debit card?
A ticket to a play.
16. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
Shaddow. We listened to one another going about our day. There may be Wii a bit later.
17. What is on your desktop background?
A photo of myself and my seisiun mates.
18. What is the background on your cell phone?
Nothing.
19. Do you like redheads?
They aren't a separate species, you know. Seriously. Trust me on this.
20. Do you know any twins?
My friend is a twin.
21. Do you have any weird relatives?
Weird? Not exactly. Unfortunate, yes.
22. What was the last movie you watched?
'Invictus' last night with Suzy. It was fantastic.
23. What was the last book you read?
'At Least In the City, Someone Would Hear Me Scream' by Wade Rouse. It's the memoir of a man and his partner who decide to scarper from the city to coastal Michigan in order to discover their inner Thoreau. In the opening scene, the author is frantically attempting to remove an angry raccoon from his head. Good times.
