Advantages: Fascinating facts
Disadvantages: Tedious details
100 questions!!
1. Which do you prefer - shower or bath? And why?
Bath. Hot as possible, lots of bubbles. Or both! Laze in the bath for twenty minutes then spritz my conditioner off with a cold shower, like Nicky Clark recommends. Oh the decadence!
2. What do you swear you'll never do?
Propose to someone in the form of an online comic strip.
3. What's the most embarrassing thing you ever done?
BADLY messed up a job interview for a really quite trendy independent record shop.
4. What is your favorite quote?
My old English teacher: "The only possible excuse for missing lessons is that you're entertaining an underage lover in a rented room in Pinhoe."
5. What was your favorite holiday? And why?
I haven't been on all that many!
6. What was your favorite childhood toy?
Playmobil, probably, one of the sets with all the wizards and dragons. I was never all that into Lego. Oh, Batman action figures!
7. Do you have any pets?
Used to have a soppy but sweet half- Persian cat, these days my little brother's got gerbils: they're very interesting but not so cuddly.
8. Savory or sweet?
Probably sweet- I get real sugar cravings.
9. Hot or cold?
In weather temperature? When it's hot I say cold, and vice versa. I think I like it cold better really, I tend to wilt past 21degrees.
10. What's your favorite drink? - Alcoholic and Non-alcoholic
Don't drink alcohol, but I am a massive fan of Relentless Inferno energy drink...
11. What's your favorite food?
Baked potatoes with cheese.
12. Who do you hate the most?
I can't bear most university students, particularly the posh ones. That's such a cantankerous old-man thing to say, for an 18 year old girl. But really.
13. Do you have a crush on someone? If so, who?
Not really!
14. What is your favorite colour?
There's a weird mixture of US/UK spellings in this quiz! I'd fix it but I'm lazy.
In design terms, I like muted shades of minty green and grey, but to wear, I like black, dark red, purple.
15. What did you do last night?
Caught up on some emails, put some Saul Williams on my iPod, watched telly and gossipped with my mum.
16. What's your favorite thing to do?
Doodling surreptitiously on tables, playing computer games or watching anime with friends, mooching around on long walks with my headphones on.
17. Favorite movie, T.V Programme, Book?
Film: Ghost World (adapted from the ace graphic novel by Daniel Clowes)
TV programme: I like all those mainstream Channel 4 comedies!
Book: If we're talking "proper" books, I'd say James Kelman's "How Late It Was, How Late", for gritty Glasgow realism. A powerful read. I've got tonnes of favourite graphic novels, probably my top at the moment is Adrian Tomine's "Summer Blonde".
18. Who's your hero?
Batman.
19. Favorite song of all time?
Again with the spellings ;)
Arghh my favourite song changes all the time. A few contenders: Morrissey's "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself?", Jets To Brazil's "Chinatown", Death Cab For Cutie's "Crooked Teeth".
My favourite album of all time is NIN's "The Downard Spiral" though. Has been since I first heard it.
