Sailling the seas on the good ship Lemming
1. How tall are you barefoot? 158 cm
2. Have you ever smoked heroin? No, but my cousin has done.
3. Do you own a gun? 'I do not own a gun, much less many guns - which would necessitate a gun rack'.
4. Rehab? Jesus, when I was thirteen, my best mates were so often in rehab, that I might as well have been there myself. I was 'evaluated' once.
5. Do you get nervous before "meeting the parents"? Since I've not had to do that in 11 years, I don't know whether I'd be nervous or I wouldn't. Since I'm often a bit trepidatious when it comes to meeting people, then chances are I would be.
6. What do you think of hot dogs? I think that there are better choices one can make.
7. What's your favorite Christmas song? I've always been fond of the one by the Waitresses - I can't recall its name. 'December Will Be Magic Again' by Kate Bush is also really lovely. Oh, and anything by Vince Guaraldi.
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Typhoo if I've got time. Earl Grey at the office if I haven't.
9. Do you do push-ups? I should do. I should do them now. On second thought...
10. Have you ever done ecstacy? No, and I'd never do it. There's something about it that whispers 'don't ever trust me'.
11. Are you vegan? No.
12. Do you like painkillers? Only if absolutely necessary.
13. What is your secret weapon to lure in the opposite sex? A cricket bat, applied liberally to the poor devil's head. Seriously, I haven't got a secret weapon. I don't think I've got a weapon at all.
14. Do you own a knife? Yes, I've got a really clever one in my handbag. I'm considering finding a friend for it.
15. Do you have A.D.D.? Perhaps. If I do, it doesn't seem to have hindered me. Well, but for mandolin practising and song writing - it has hindered me in those scores.
16. Date Of Birth? 27 February
17. Top 3 thoughts at this exact moment:

20. What time did you wake up today? Half-eight
21.Current hair? Short and ice skater-ish. It isn't as long in front as it has been, and my fringe is rather short. Too short, actually. If it hadn't been the day after St Pat's, I'd have had the brain to say to him 'ah, don't cut my fringe'.
22. Current worry? You want me to be honest? I worry that in the end, nothing I do will make a whit of difference.
23. Current hate? At the moment, I feel no hatred for anything, merely a great deal of disappointment.

25. Least favorite place to be? In conflict that lacks resolution or the hope of resolution.

31. Would you be a pirate? You assume that I am not, already, a pirate.
32. Last time you had an alcoholic drink? Last night. Coffee, drambuie. Before that, a bit of red wine. How many times must I tell myself to eschew the vino rosa? Oish.
33. What songs do you sing in the shower? I don't sing in the shower (believe it or not). I think. I think of many things.
34. What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? Something without shape or substance. I suppose that would mean daemons.
35. What's in your pockets right now: I've not got anything in my pockets. Here, now there's a folding bone in my pocket.
36. Last thing that made you laugh? My colleague is nattering about wheelie bin woes - that's amusing. I'm a bit tired to laugh.If I open my mouth too wide, I'll likely lose consciousness.
37. Best bed sheets you had as a child? Erm...I wasn't a child, and they were flannel.
38. Worst injury you've ever had? Likely some sort of sprain - I've never had a limb reattached, and I don't scar easily.
40. How many TVs do you have in your house? Two - only one of them is connected.
41. Who is your loudest friend? I've got a friend whose volume and pitch is positively correlated to her level of enthusiasm. I'll be keeping her name to myself.

43. Does someone have a crush on you? I hope so...
45. What is your favorite book? Watership Down (I'm keeping typsygypsy's answer. It's not my absolute favourite, but I don't think I've got one, so).
46. What is your favorite candy? Sweets always disappoint me - I can taste the chemicals used to sweeten and preserve them.
47. What songs do/did you want played at your wedding? We used songs from Enya's 'The Celts'. I wanted 'Jackie's Strength' by Tori Amos, but I got 'January Girl' instead. Ah well, eh?
48. What song do you want played at your funeral? Oh, I don't know. I'll likely have a wake, so choonz would be appropriate.
49. What were you doing 12AM last night? Leaving Englewood.
