Because I havn't done one of these for a while...

1. What time is it?
15:15 GMT - also known as coffee time :)

2. What is your sign and your birthday?
Well, if you put any faith in that nonsense: Libra (although, having said that, some of my horoscopes in the Metro lately have been spot-on), and my birthday is October 1st

3. What type was your first car?
Don't own a car, but borrow the parents car from time-to-time when at home - can't really see the point of having a car in a city with pretty reasonable transport links - at home yes, but not here.

4. Name four jobs you've had in your life?
i) Banquet waitress - people with money enough to rent out a large country house and have it fully waited etc are generally very very odd people - just to warn you.
ii) Potato sorter - don't think I need to elaborate on that one
iii) Checkout slave - die, Tesco, die!
iv) Receptionist - and stationary cupboard tyrant

5. If you could have any job, what would it be?
Not really sure to be honest. A potter perhaps.

6. What are you most afraid of?
Pass - quite a lot of things I guess. Most people are. Wasps. Not learning from mistakes.

7. What is the last movie you saw in a theater?
Vantage Point, I think. Truely truely dreadful film lol! Problem was that the concept and the structure had potential, but (with the exception of a couple of action-scenes) everything else was a bit poor.

8. What are four movies you would watch over and over?
i) Serenity - :D Do I really need to explain why?
ii) Kill Bill 1 & 2 - Swords, Uma Thurman kicking ass, Quentin T, rocking soundtracks - what's not to love?
iii) Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang - Robert Downey jr at his best, and probably one of the most quotable films in the world
iv) Children of Men - conceptually fabulous and beautifully filmed

9. Place of birth?
Edinburgh

10. What are four places you have lived?
Erm, I don't think I've lived in four differant places. Duns and Edinburgh would be about it.

11. What are four places you have been on vacation?
i) Ireland
ii) London
iii) South Africa
iv) Paris

12. What are four places you would rather be right now?
Hmmmmm, just about anywhere actually (well, obviously except the inside of a nuclear reactor - that'd probably be a brief and dull trip). Well, New Zealand, South Africa, Italy or Russia ideally, but more realistically: up Arthurs Seat, cycling down a steep hill, at the Cameo watching a film, lying on the meadows in the sunshine.

13. What are the best places you have ever been?
Is it just me or does that seem like a poor way of wording the question? Probably just me. South Africa was pretty awesome :D

14. What are four websites you visit daily?
i) Facebook - it's only a minor addiction, honest!
ii) Student Mail Service - cause if I leave it for too long the uni tends to complain that I'm ignoring them...
iii) BBC news
iv) Hotmail

Sorry, not the most interesting list I'm afraid! And XKCD is only updated 3 times a week...

15. What are four of your favorite foods?
i) Bread - seriously, I occassionally get bread cravings (only good bread though)
ii) Meat - I just don't eat much of it
iii) Crispy Shredded Chilli Beef - mmmmmmmm.
iv) Pinapple
16. What's your favorite new food?
Mmmm, I guess kidney and liver - Mum doesn't like them so we never really ate them at home, but I now cook them pretty often: cheap, tasty, and they make sure my iron-levels don't dip too often :)

17. Which do you prefer, ketchup or mustard?
Depends what it's on - ketchup on kittens and mustard on old-fashioned telephones?

18. Which do you prefer, hamburgers or hotdogs?
hamburgers, but only because...well...what hell do they put in hotdogs? :S Having said that, you never really know what they put in hamburgers.

19. Do you eat the stems of broccoli?
Yup - poor-mans asparugus

20. Favorite Drink?
Diet Coke/Coke Zero - it's addicitive I swear. But when I have free-will, then probably a glass of good red-wine or coffee

21. Favorite ice cream?
Not sure - anything out of the ordinary really

22. What's your natural hair color?
Erm - well, I'd say a sort of mousey-light-brown, but I have been accused of being blonde from time-to-time

23. Ever been toilet paper rolling?
WTF?

24. Ever love someone so much it made you cry?
Ug... let's not talk about it, eh?

25. Favorite CD?
Lol - CDs are verging on retro these days ;) But it's a choice between The Essential Bob Dylan and the Juno Soundtrack

26. Favorite day of the week?
Not sure - Tuesdays are pretty good I reckon. But not Thursdays; I never could get the hang of Thursdays...

27. Favorite Restaurant?
The one at the end of the Universe. Or Rhubarb at The Prestonfield House Hotel.

28. Favorite Flower?
Tulips :) There's something infinately cheerful about them

29. Favorite sport to watch?
Rugby generally, but really want to watch a match of Elephant polo! but teasing Cats with string is a pretty good sport to watch :D

30. Disney or Warner Brothers?
WB, because Disney suck.

31. Favorite fast food restaurant?
Erm, none - they're all a bit rubbish. Subway I guess, if that counts.

32. What color is your bedroom carpet?
Some sort of "sell-your-flat-quicker" neutral colour

33. Before this email, from whom did you get your last e-mail?
Well, this wasn't an email. last actually email was probably from the uni library telling me to renew my books or die...wait, no...

34. What do you do most often when you are bored?
Answer stupid on-line questions

35. Bedtime?
Last night it was 10pm, but recently it has been 1am more often than not.

36. Who will respond to this email the quickest?
I hate this stupid bog-standard question - what's the point?

37. Who will be the least likely to respond?
Ditto

38. Who is the person copied on this email whose response you are most curious to see?
Ditto again

39. What four still-airing TV shows do you love to watch?
I don't really watch TV - it's mostly rubbish. Top Gear, QI...erm...I actually can't think of anything else! But am looking forward to Dollhouse (Joss Wheadon's new project) when it arrives here in about a decade's time.

40. Favorite TV show of all time?
Oh gods! How can I choose just one? Firefly, Monty Pythons Flying Circus, Farscape, Scrubs, Drop the Dead Donkey, Buffy, ...

41. What are you currently reading?
American Gods - Neil Gaiman (again)
I am Called Red - Orhan Puduik (I think) - murder mystery set in the 15th century in Bagdad, weird but very cool.
Paradise Lost - Milton

So, actually fewer books on the go than usual.

42. What are you listening to right now?
Right now? BBC News 24. Generally listening to atm: The Shins

None - although the idea of a small tree-frog between the shoulder-blades would be pretty cool.

44. How many pets do you have?
None (having evicted the mouse at long-last)

45. What would you like to accomplish before you die?
Overcoming my fear of heights, write a book, move to South Africa or New Zealand, own a vinyard.

46. What's on your mouse pad?
Don't have a mouse-pad, only one of the on-lap-top-sensor-pad-things - and it doesn't work all that well (rather like the rest of the lap-top)

47. What is your favorite board game?
Trivial Persuits

48. Favorite smell?
Depends on the season: Summer - warm, freshly cut grass

Spring - the garden after the rain

49. Least favorite smell?
Erm, anything unpleasant - like vomit or rotting fruit.

Purple, deep green, black, blue


51. Least favorite color?
Yellow - seriously, it's just utterly pointless except in the creation of green.


52. Future (or first) child's name?
That's making some fairy stupendous assumptions. I guess if I had to choose then Peter (for a boy, obviously) because we already have 4 Peters in the family and it would add to the confussion ;)

53. What is most important in life?
Living in the moment as well as for the future.

54. Do you like to drive fast?
Can't say that I've ever driven very fast, but that was on the basis that mums car could barely get above 50mph ;)


55. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?
No, I find stuffed aminals a bit creepy really.

56. What's under your bed?
Nothing


57. If you could meet one person dead or alive who would it be?
Freud - just to ask "WTF, dude?", or Bruno Latour, for the same reason.

Cool! Oh so cool! :D

60. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Chuck Norris.
