Welcome to the 2005 edition of getting to know your friends. What you are supposed to do is copy this entire blog entry and paste it onto a new blog entry that you'll post. Change all the answers so they apply to you, and then publish! Leave a comment if you do this.The theory is that you will learn a lot of little (random) things about your friends, if you did not know them already.
- What time did you get up this morning?
- First time, just after 1 am, second time, just after 10 am. I'd explain why, but I'm trying not to whinge.
- Diamonds or pearls?
- Neither. Hematite is my stone of preference, but any semi-precious polished (not cut) stone set in silver would do.
- What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
- Evil Aliens
- What is your favourite TV show?
- West Wing, without hesitation. I also really like House, Grays Anatomy, CSI, and somewhat shamefully, America's Next Top Model and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
- What do you usually have for breakfast?
- I don't usually. Most often when I do have breakfast, it's toast with butter and peanut butter from the cafe in work.
- Favourite cuisine?
- Something I don't cook myself.
- What food do you dislike?
- Anything with mushrooms in it.
- What is your favourite CD at the moment?
- It's a toss-up between Rantology by Ministry or O by Damien Rice, depending on my mood at the time.
- Morning or night person?
- Night. Definitely.
- Favourite sandwich?
- Chicken with pesto and mozzarella. Toasted.
- What characteristic do you despise?
- Arrogance.
- Favourite item of clothing?
- My sari silk clapotis. It's a combination of good luck charm and comfort blanket, and it looks good too.
- If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be?
- Barcelona, San Francisco or Tokyo.
- What colour is your bathroom?
- Yellow walls, pine floor, white suite, occasional hints of blue.
- Favourite brand of clothing?
- Don't do labels.
- Where would you retire to?
- Somewhere coastal.
- What was your most memorable birthday?
- That's a tough one to call, as mostly they're memorable for bad reasons. It's a toss-up between my 21st, which coincidentally was the day Princess Diana died, or my 25th, where I was made redundant the day before, didn't get paid on the day, and was in the process of making one of the hardest decisions of my life.
- Favourite sport to watch?
- Formula 1
- Who do you least expect to complete this?
- Most of my readers.
- Person you expect to complete it first?
- Pass. Next question?
- Person who is least busy?
- See above.
- When is your birthday?
- 31st August
- What is your shoe size?
- 5
- Pets?
- One cat, Fred, who lives with my mum.
- Any new and exciting news you'd like to share with us?
- In the new year, my first attempt at something new will be revealed to the world. Hopefully the world will like it.
- What did you want to be when you were little?
- I don't think I ever really new what I wanted to be. I did think seriously about being a musician for a while, but the realisation that I hated the guts of the people I was in orchestras with and that given the relative incestuousness of the local classical music scene would mean I'd be stuck with them for years put paid to that plan.
- What is your favourite flower?
- Gerbera
- What date on the calendar are you looking forward to?
- 13th January 2006
- One word to describe the person who you snaffled this from?
- Fabulous.
