Date: 2005-08-11 05:58 am (UTC)(comment whore? MOI?)
no subject
Date: 2005-08-11 08:08 am (UTC)But that would be too much like hard work.
1. initials:
HEK (the middle one's Elizabeth)
2. name someone with the same birthday as you:
A girl in my year 12 class called Gemma, and my old music teacher's younger brother.
3. where was your first kiss?
Underwater at the swimming pool with my class, at age ten. That is, I was at the swimming pool with my class. I wasn't kissing my class. A lad called Matthew Snook, iirc - we'd decided to be SPECIAL FRIENDS because it was the in thing in the class at the time.
4. for or against same sex marriages?
What a silly question.
5. are you homophobic?
Should I be?
6. are you bisexual?
Tique tries to persuade me to be so he can watch me with another hot female, but no success yet. I notice there's no question here allowing for homosexuality.
7. do you believe in God?
No, but I believe in the intrinsic need of the human psyche to create one, if that helps. I find it endlessly fascinating.
8. how many US states have you been to? 9. how many of the US states have you lived in? 10. have you ever lived outside the US?
Silly questionaires.
11. name something you like physically about yourself:
Hum. My eyes. Sometimes, when I catch them by accident in the mirror and I'm not actually looking at them. And my hair when I do it nicely.
12. name something non-physical you like about yourself:
The fact that I can learn, and can turn my sense of humour on myself.
13. where do you want to go to college?
Oh goodness. I'm in the fourth year of what look to be seven years at university at the least, solidly at Adelaide Uni. That's a very tactless question. *flails about for escape*
14. what is your dream car?
I have to say I do not often dream about cars. And when I do, I inevitably lose control of them.
15. if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Right now? Bcak to Ireland.
16. have you ever had someone of the opposite sex over at your house while your parents were gone?
My parents don't care, because it's my life and they trust me to live it. I've lived for a total of over six weeks in the house of a man whom i'd never met before doing it, a STRANGE OLDER INTERNET MAN too. I don't think the occasional bumbling red-headed teenager, or uni friend practising duets, really counts for much compared to that. :)
17. how many concerts have you gone to?
Well, I have to review a certain number every semester for uni. Last year I know I attended Handel's Messiah sung by the Adelaide Chamber Singers, two of Carl's Goodlye Singes, and... it didn't mean that sort of concert, did it?
18. do you download music?
I like CDs better.
19. how many illegal things have you done?
Um. I sometimes go a little bit over the speed limit if I'm not paying attention. Actually, I'm not very good at paying attention on the road in general. My mind likes to wander off and do things on its own. Aside from that? I think I stole a brussel sprout once at the market when I was a little kid, by hiding it in my slipper. I felt guilty for days.
20. where would you want to go on a first date?
I don't do dates. I prefer to make friends first, and I find the idea of blatantly putting each other on trial to see if you'd be good to have a sexual relationship with weird.
21. describe your perfect date:
See above. Translate it to 'outing with someone you care about' and it would probably turn into an exploring ramble in an interesting wild place, with picnic stuff in the backpacks. Possibly with dogs.
22. has anyone ever sang or played for you personally?
I think I'm generally part of an audience, even if that audience is of only a few people. Unless you count my older sister playing her recital pieces to me for a practice audience and opinion.
23. ever been kissed under fireworks?
Nope. Don't like fireworks - have owned dogs too long.
24. have you ever had sex with more than one person at a time?
Goodness, there's a break from the happy-innocent-15-year-old-american-girl trend.
25. do you like president bush?
I don't know the man. For which I am profoundly grateful.
no subject
Date: 2005-08-11 08:09 am (UTC)26. have you ever bungee jumped?
Why woudl anyone want to?
27. have you ever white- water rafted?
Well, I've kayaked in surf. It's actually rather scary when you get rolled and you're being dragged upside down along the bottom and you can't right the kayak or get yourself out of it.
28. have you ever crashed a car?
Well, no. But I've got our commodore firmly wedged between two concrete pillars in the cathedral carpark.
29. has anyone more than 10 years older than you hit on you?
Heheheheheheheheheheheh.
Well, I'll say 'yes, the old guy down at the lebanese shop hits on me whenever i go down there to get bread'. That way I need not compromise myself. *stares into space*
30. have you met a real redneck?
Not knowingly.
31. are you interested in anyone right now?
I suppose you could say that!
32. what song are you listening to right now?
Too late at night for songs, but Raglan Road is playing in my head.
33. what is your current favorite song?
I don't do favourites with music. I find it makes me tire of them quicker because my expectations shoot way up, which is a shame if I like them.
34. what was the last movie you watched?
WoW in the cinema, the second half of P&P on video.
35. who was the last person you said you loved?
He knows who he is. :)
36. where was the last place you went besides your house?
Flinders University to sort out about doing a creative writing course next year. Oh, and then the airport, to pick up my brother-in-law-not-in-law.
37. have you ever seriously vandalized someone elses property?
No-oo, I don't think so. On school muckup day we debated setting frogs free in the school, but I vetoed it because the frogs wouldn't like it. I scraped someone's bumper bar once.
38. have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Yes, and he damn well deserved it. He didn't learn, though. Only a week or so later I had to bite him to get the same message across. Hard. He was carrying the mark for two weeks. Served him right.
39. have you ever sang in front of a large number of people?
I think the answer to that is a definite yes.
40. whats the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Whether or not they're looking at me in an overly familiar way.
41. what really turns you on?
Nothing.
42. what do you usually order from starbucks?
I veto it.
43. what is your biggest mistake?
Most mistakes I make come out alright in the end, because I remodel my life around them. Can't think of anything I really regret right now, save things I had no control over anyway.
44. have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Not that I remember. Although I did like falling off things when I was a little kid.
45. say something totally random about you:
My sister and her puppy are coming home on Saturday. :)
46. do you have an i-pod?
What's an i-pod?
47. has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
I don't think so. Some people say Ilook like my aunt, though.
48. do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
Don't have a tv, but when I'm at work (after school care) I'm happy to watch play-school and sesame street with the kids. oh, and rugrats and tutenstein.
49. do you have braces?
nope.
50. are you comfortable with your height?
Yes. I like being small. :)
no subject
Date: 2005-08-11 08:10 am (UTC)Italian, reasonably well; I can read French, manage German and generally work out latin. I have designs on spanish and irish.
53. have you ever been to a tanning salon?
I live in Australia.
54. what magazines do you read?
None. Except occasionally excerpts from the Age weekend magazine if it's next to me in the bathroom.
55. do you think these surveys are stupid?
Only if the person filling them in doesn't interest me. :)
56. do you have a hidden talent?
I am all talent!
57. have you gone farther than kissing?
So how does this fit in with the 'have you ever had sex with more than one persno at a time'? Yes. Yes, I have.
58. have you ever ridden in a limo?
nope. don't see the point.
59. has anyone you were really close with past away?
Not really close, but my grandfather, yes. And that's 'passed'.
60. do you watch mtv?
What's mtv?
61. whats something that really annoys you?
Bad grammar and punctuation. And using the wrong words.
62. whats something you really like?
Making things with my mind.
63. do you like michael Jackson?
Pity, despise. Like? No.
64. can you dance?
No, I'm a singer.
65. have you ever surfed?
No.
66. do you know how to pump gas?
If this means do I know how to put petrol in my car, yes. No one else is going to do it.
67. do you drive?
Sigh.
68. whats the latest you have ever stayed up?
Fourish, but i don't remember when.
69. have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?
No. Normally I don't think that until later, when my mother goes into a retrospective panic.
70. were you ever rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
Actually, I was, when a car knocked me off my bike. But not rushed. They didn't even use the siren. And then I had to lie around for a long time in quite a lot of pain before they got around to me - and when they did, they didn't actually bother to wash the blood and gravel off my arm before bandaging and splinting it, so I had to undo it all a couple of days later to clean it.
71. have you ever been dared to do something you didn't want to do?
I think Iwas dared to kiss a little yellow bucket once, and then been told afterwards that it's used to gather the dog poo off the lawn. I can't say I honestly cared much, though.
72. did you do it?
Yep. But if I didn't want to, I wouldn't. I'm funny like that.
73. do you actually read these when other people fill them out?
Not if they're this long. Unless I am very bored.
