rosiedoesI'm bored. Here's a really long questionnaire.
I'm tired of:
Being single.
I'm listening to:
Sex and the City on TV.
Maybe I should:
Exercise more.
Chocolate is:
Overrated.
I last ate:
Quorn burgers and potato wedges.
The meaning of my display name is:
A picture of a leaf stuck to a frozen lake.
Right now I'm craving:
Affection? *tiny violin*
I will always remember:
Waking up in Chicago for the first time. The sun was streaming in under the blinds as it rose over the lake, and I could see Navy Pier and it was very, very early in the morning. It has to have been the most beautiful morning I've ever seen.
Love:
Distant friend. We haven't seen each other in a loooooong time.
Yesterday:
Was exactly the same as today.
Today:
Was exactly the same as tomorrow.
Tomorrow:
Are you getting the theme, yet?
QUESTIONS.
Is your hair wet?
Nope.
Is your cell phone right by you?
It's within arm's reach.
Do you miss someone?:
It's complicated. There's someone I wish I could spend more 'time' with.
Are you wearing Chapstick?:
No. I use Carmex.
Are you tired?
I've only been up twelve hours, so not really.
Are you wearing pajamas?:
Pyjama bottoms and a Fall Out Boy shirt.
Are you mad?
Not really.
Are you upset?:
Not especially.
LASTS.
Last beverage?
Water.
Last hug?
Hugging Julie goodbye on Monday morning, when she flew back to Ireland.
Last text?
T-Mobile telling me how much credit I have.
Last phone call?
My solicitor.
HAVE YOU EVER?
Dated someone twice?
Yes. And she fucked me over both times.
Been cheated on?
See above.
Been overseas?
America twice, Canada once, France once, lived in Sicily. Plan to go to the US at least twice in the next twelve months.
Lost someone close?
My grandad when I was seven. I was his favourite.
Been drunk and thrown up?
Nope. I'm straight edge now and I barely drank before that point.
IN THE PAST MONTH HAVE YOU.
Made a new friend?
On LJ, I guess.
Laughed until you almost cried?
Yes. Julie took the warning, "Don't get too close, your feet will get wet," as a cue to fall arse over tit in the surf.
Met someone who changed your life?
I really doubt it, but surely it's a little early to tell?
Is there something you want to tell someone?
I'm not quite that Gryffindor.
Held hands with the boy/girl you like?
HAH. No.
Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?
CDs are so last century.
What's the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated?
When I was fourteen I dated a seventeen year old (guy). When I was eighteen I dated a fifteen year old (girl). When I was nineteen I dated a twenty-one year old...
Have you ever been on a blind date?
Not exactly. I went on a date with a friend of a friend who'd seen me across a room and told David he thought I was cute. He was a weirdo.
Are looks important?
Yes. If I don't look at someone and think, "Oh my God." I'll just get bored really easily. However, the people who make me go "Oh my God" tend to be short, chubby dudes with baby faces or athletic-looking girls who aren't very scene or necessarily very 'pretty'. That said, I've been known to switch the gender of those stereotypes.
Do you have any friends that you've known for 10 years or more?
Lewis Brown and Samantha Parker, who I've known since we were seven.
By what age would you like to be married?
I don't know that I ever will get married, but I'd like to have settled on a serious someone by the time I'm thirty, please. At least for a few years, anyway.
Does the number of people a person's slept with affect your view of them?
Depends, really. I prefer to give these things context.
Have you ever made a mistake?
Yes.
Are you a good tipper?
In foreign countries...
What's the most you have spent for a haircut?
For a hairstyle I'd say £70, when I had it cut and bleached.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?
Not really, no.
Have you ever peed in public?
Not that I can remember.
What song do you want played at your funeral?
Days Like This Keep Me Warm by the Polyphonic Spree
Would you tell your parents if you were gay?
Mine figured it out themselves. My former-socialist mother was a bitch about it, my Catholic father told me he just wanted me to be happy.
What would your last meal be before getting executed?
Oysters.
Beatles or Stones?
The Beatles.
If you had to pick one person on earth to die, who?
Robert Mugabe.
Beer, wine or hard liquor?
None. I'm straight edge.
Do you have any phobias?
Spiders, heights, the dark, train lines.
What are your plans for the future?
Immediate future: move to Hove with my best friend. Long term: find some legal way to emigrate to Chicago. Maybe, in the distant future, retiring to Vancouver.
Do you walk around the house naked?
Hell no. I have four housemates.
If you were an animal what would you be?
A bat.
Hair color you like on someone you're dating?
Generally, fair hair. I love redheads, though.
Would you rather be blind or deaf?
Blind.
Do you have any special talents?
I'm a decent writer, an okay artist and a brilliant friend.
What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?
Get changed into pyjamas.
Do you like horror or comedy?:
Neither. BRING ME THE WAR MOVIES!
If you weren't straight, what person of the same sex would you date?
I'm not straight, presumptuous motherfucker.
Where do you want to live when you are old?
By the sea.
Who is the person you can count on the most?
Julie.
What did you dream last night?
I don't know, but I know it was depressing, because I woke up, told myself that there was no reason left to be awake, and made myself go back to sleep.
What is your favorite sport to watch?
I only watch sport when we're in the World Cup.
Are you named after anyone?
My middle name is my grandmother's name and the feminine of my father's first name.
What is your favorite alcoholic drink?
A can of ice cold whupass.
Non alcoholic drink?
It used to be pressed apple juice, but then I realised I was allergic...
Have you ever been in love?
Twice. Once was completely off limits, the other was that first girlfriend who kept cheating on me.
Do you sing in the shower?
No. I do sing in the bath, though.
Have you ever been arrested?
No.
What is your favorite holiday?
Hallowe'en. Always has been.
Would you ever get plastic surgery?
Yes. Lipo on my stomach, inner thighs and chin; I'd get the bridge of my nose depressed slightly and I'd get my ridiculous boobs sorted out.
Have you ever caught a fish?
Yes! And ate it.
What a random way to end a meme...

Re: =\
on 2008-06-21 03:01 am (UTC)It told me that she didn't want to see me again.
Broke my heart.
Several months later, she phoned me out of the blue, crying and saying she'd been cutting herself and she didn't know who to turn to. I met up with her, we got back together, she told me her ex-fiance still believed they were together. There was a good reason for this - they were.
She dumped me again.
A long time later, we were set up by friends, to meet, and she proceeded to sit in the park and tell me there was no way she could ever cheat on someone.
Which was the end of it for me. After three years, on and off, I was over it.
