Advantages: If you want to know 100 trivial things about me, this is a fine place to start

Disadvantages: If you don't, it's probably time to leave

So, having spent ten months here now, I figure it's time for me to fill out one of these survey things so you can all learn about what colour socks I'm wearing and my favourite brand of toothpaste, or whatever it is these things ask. Good luck making it to the end!


1. Which do you prefer - shower or bath? And why?
A bath usually, simply because I prefer lying down to standing up! Hm, sounds a bit lazy, but it's the truth. I want to relax when I'm having a wash!

2. What do you swear you'll never do?
Eat a whole tub of Pringles in one go. Again. Honest guv. (I know, I know, a ridiculous amount, but when I get hooked on sour cream & onion flavour, there's little you can do to stop me..)

3. What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?
Agh, I hate this kind of question as I prefer to block such moments out of my memory! Um.. hm. One that springs to mind is that I accidentally called my English teacher "mum" just a couple of months ago. (I've just finished my second year of A-Levels..)

4. What is your favorite quote?
"Quotes are nothing but inspiration for the uninspired." - Richard Kemph

5. What was your favorite holiday? And why?
A couple of years ago, my family and I went to Inzell in Bavarian Germany (www.inzell.de), a quaint village with the most wonderful surroundings, hotels, shops and people. Within driving distance of Salzburg, in Austria, as well as Berchtesgaden and various other sites of interest relating to WW2. We then headed on to Venice, on perhaps the hottest day of the year (which rather made it *too* hot there but that's a minor complaint), and then spent a night in Switzerland before returnign home. The whole holiday was 10 days long, probably ten of the best days of my life!

6. What was your favorite childhood toy?
Sad to admit but probably the VCR and my videos, I loved watching Postman Pat and Noddy, and then later Rugrats and Art Attack. But other than that, I remember really loving Matchbox cars and various accessories.. which is strange, as I don't have the slightest interest in cars now, but back then I was quite obsessed, or so I'm told.

7. Do you have any pets?
Yep, as a family we have two cats, Sophie who was from a cat's home, and Darcy, a silver tabby. Sophie is four and we've had Sophie for nearly two years, Darcy is 18 months old and we've had him for just over one year. We also have a goldfish.

8. Savoury or sweet?
Usually savoury. But it really depends. After a nice meal I'd rather have a nice piece of cake than a bag of crisps or something, obviously!

9. Hot or cold?
Cold. I'd rather be too cold than too hot, as I find it's easier to warm up than to cool down.

10. What's your favorite drink? - Alcoholic and Non-alcoholic
Alcoholic: Olde English cider
Non-alcoholic: Usually Fanta - sometimes I go through a phase of loving Vimto or cherry coke, though.

11. What's your favorite food?
I'm rubbish at these questions as all my favourite foods are snack foods.. I'm currently hooked on Tesco's Finest Sundried Tomato & Herb cheese cracker biscuit thingies.. but they're expensive, and not exactly healthy, so I don't eat them too much! In terms of actual meals, my favourite meat is chicken, so a roast chicken dinner is always good.

12. Who do you hate the most?
No-one other than the obvious choices (paedophiles, murderers, etc. that it would be a stretch not to hate)

13. Do you have a crush on someone? If so, who?
Not going to go into personal crushes here - that wouldn't be very interesting for readers now, would it? - but celebrities.. Alison Lohman ("Tucker", Matchstick Men, White Oleander), Lauren Graham ("Gilmore Girls") and Elisha Cuthbert ("24") all look wonderful.

14. What is your favorite colour?
Turquoise.

15. What did you do last night?
A night in with the box - watched "Britain's Got Talent" and "The Apprentice", then some DVDs of "Grounded for Life". I also helped my parents install a new TV. Haha, it really does sound like my life revolves around the box, doesn't it..

16. What's your favorite thing to do?
Not sure. I think settling down on a rainy day to watch a good movie with either friends or family, with a nice box of chocolates around, has to rank right up there. As for more involving pursuits, I could play snooker for hours on end.

17. Favorite movie, T.V Programme, Book?
Movie: "The Shawshank Redemption"
TV show: "The Simpsons" - but I genuinely watch far too many TV shows for my own good, so I actually have a top 100: http://listology.com/content_show.cfm/content_id.2 0276
Book: "Misery" by Stephen King

18. Who's your hero?
I can't say I'm sure I have a hero - outside of obvious choices like parents and grandparents, of course. I suppose my musical hero, if I can have that as a compromise, is Bruce Springsteen. If only because he is a) such a great concert performer and b) inconceivably talented - he can do everything from folk to arena rock in style

19. Favorite song of all time?
"Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen

20. Have you ever had a supernatural experience?
No, don't really believe in that sort of thing either. Closest I've come is the door slamming shut (thanks to the wind, I hope) while I was watchign "The X-Files", haha.

21. Favorite Sound?
Nervous laughter.

22. Favorite Smell?
Coffee! Freshly ground coffee, mm. Don't drink it much but I love the smell!

23. Favorite place to be?
Inzell, the village I mentioned was part of my favourite holiday. Other than that, home - "home is where the heart is" and all that.

24. Happiest moment in your life?
I don't really know that I've experienced any kind of seminal "happy moment". The closest I can think of is getting my GCSE results and being ecstatic that I'd surpassed my expectations by far. But there's no real standout moment, I don't think.

25. Saddest moment in your life so far?
Again, not sure I can think of a definitive "saddest moment". Maybe when my uncle died in 2004.

26. What is your dream job?
TV critic! I could get paid to watch TV, surely the dream of all lazy bastards across the land. I suppose being a BBFC examiner would prove much the same actually, so that'll do as a back-up.

27. What would be your idea of a perfect date?
Pretty much anything that involves being in a nicely lit park late at night.

28. What's your favorite Newspaper/ Magazine?
Newspaper: Broadsheet - The Guardian, Tabloid - The Mirror
Magazine: Q, and also DVD Review

29. Which celebrity do you like the most?
Bruce Springsteen. Or if we discount him, as he's already been mentioned by me a couple of times, maybe Jonathan Ross.

30. What religion are you?
No specific religion - vaguely Christian, I suppose, although I wasn't Christened. I believe in a God, in a general sense, but I don't really follow any specific religious teachings.

31. Do you have any siblings?
One sister, 14 next month. I love her to bits, I think we get on far better than most teenage siblings.

32. Have you every been in hospital? If so, why?
Yes but only when I was much younger, not in the last ten years or so.

33. Have you ever broken a bone or had stitches?
Nope, neither yet, thankfully. Touch wood.

34. Do you believe in Angels/Ghosts/Demons?
No, none of those.

35. Are you superstitious?
I'd like to say I'm not but I think I am a little, for one thing two questions ago I said "touch wood" so I suppose to some degree I buy in to a lot of the traditional superstitions.

36. What colour eyes do you have?
Brown.

37. What colour hair do you have?
Dark brown.

38. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be?
Lose some weight, definitely.

39. If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be?
I'd want to be less shy. I've improved a considerable amount in the past few years but I'm still generally too shy and quiet around people I don't know.

40. What is your biggest fear?
Death. Of me or people I know.

41. Do you have any regrets? If so, what are they?
I think it's a bit too early for me to have any serious regrets. But I suppose I regret not getting involved more, or talking to people more, at school; I never got involved in a school team, I never asked a girl out, I never really did any extracurricular activities. Oh well.

42. Have you ever been in love?
Infatuation and lust yes, but love? No.

43. What's the most important thing to you in the world?
My family and friends.

44. What your most treasured possession?
My toy duck. (Hence my profile picture!)

45. What's your job?
Student. Taking my A-Level exams at the moment, then off to the University of Bath to study politics next year.

46. What's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
Told me I was "a genuinely lovely person". Out of almost nowhere. Having known what it feels like, I do my best to tell others similar things. It's a guaranteed way to bring a smile to a face.

47. What's the worst thing anyone has done to you?
I can't think of anything that falls into this category.

48. Dream car?
I really don't know. I'm not all that bothered about cars.

49. Favorite celebration?
Christmas. Better than birthdays - birthdays are fun, but it's for one person, not for everyone, and there's nowhere near as much of a sense of occasion. Christmas lights and Christmas music are also wonderful.

50. Where do you hang out?
At home, at my grandparents' house, at school and at friends' houses. The former more than the others.

51. What school did you go to?
I'm going to the University of Bath next year. I'm not going to put my current school as I don't think it's necessary!

52. What/ Who annoys you?
Pseudo-celebrities that make judgements on others' talent or worth. Charlotte Church criticising Madonna? I mean, really? Also, an inability to change your mind in the face of logical argument and clinging to outdated ideals for no reason.

53. Do you recycle?
Yes, though probably not as much as I should.

54. What's your favorite sport?
Snooker by far, if that counts. If not, I like watching football sometimes, and also Formula 1. I'm not really a sporty person though.

55. Who was the last person to upset you?
Not sure. I might've had a silly row with someone recently but I can't remember to be honest.

56. What are your hobbies?
Listening to music, watching TV, browsing the Internet, writing, playing snooker

57. What was the last joke you heard?
A man goes to the his doctor. "Doc," he says, "I've got a problem. Every minute of every day I've got that old song, "Delilah", running through my head. I always catch myself humming it and sometimes singing it in public places. My wife says I even sing it in my sleep. What's the matter with me?"

The doctor replies, "Sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome to me."

"Is it a rare disorder?" the guy asks.

The doctor answers, "It's not unusual.."

58. What is the best joke you've heard?
I love doing this one in groups of liberal, open-minded people, as they get nervous after the first line..
What do you call a black man who flies a plane?
..
A pilot, you racists!

59. What's the worst joke you've heard?
Can't think of any off-hand, just the generally over-used ones, which aren't actually bad, just tired.

60. Name 3 places you have been on holiday:-
Inzell, Germany; Venice, Italy; Disneyland Paris

61. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
Good question. I genuinely don't know. Hopefully with a decent job in the field of politics, but I'm not sure exactly what.

Oh my no, I can barely do toast.

69. What is the last lie you told?

70. Favorite flavour ice-cream?
Cherry! Lidl do this grogeous cherry one that I love. I also adore biscuit Vienetta, and Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice-cream. Of the traditional ice-cream flavours, my favourite is probably strawberry.

Inzell, as I've mentioned a couple of times. Finland would be good too. But I like where I am now, really.

I watch TV with subtitles on. (Well, a lot of people I know in real life know that, but I doubt any of you did..)

92. When was the last time you cried? And why?
A few days ago, watching a sad episode of a TV show. I forget which. I actually cry a surprising amount for an adolescent male!

93. If you could have 3 wishes, what would they be?
Genuine happiness and good health for the people I know and love

All can be gorgeous!

Invisibility. Unlimited fun..
