Cat who stole it from someone else. Well, not so much stole but borrowed.
1. Explain what ended your last relationship?
Hmm, this is complicated but not for any interesting reason. One, I technically don’t really know what would constitute my last relationship, and two, the thing that I last considered a relationship - well, you’re going to have to ask him because I’ve no sodding idea what that was all about. Perhaps an acute case of Eau de Difficult Bastard.
2. When was the last time you shaved?
Seeing as I use one of those hideous machines that pulls out hair at the root, probably been a very long time. Though I’ve shaved my underarms because depilating that area hurts like hell. That would’ve been…a few months ago.
3. What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.?
Enjoying my time in the land of Nod.
4. What were you doing 15 minutes ago?
Deleting e-mails from my work-related inbox.
5. Are you any good at math?
No. Because I call it maths, for a start. Yes, facetious. Seriously? Seeing as I nearly studied science at uni, I’d say it’s okay. I still remember a bit of that differential calculus stuff. Shudder.
6. Your prom night, what do you remember about it?
Ooh, lots. The fact that people in my year level didn’t recognise me? The wonderful photo of myself and my first love (no, alas, he wasn’t mine). That I actually enjoyed it.
7. Do you have any famous ancestors?
My grandfather is highly regarded in his country in musical circles but that’s as far as it goes I’m afraid. He’s not famous to the West so he’s not ‘really’ famous.
8. Have you had to take a loan out for school?
Not exactly but I didn’t pay any of the amount back that I’m supposed to because I don’t earn enough and I’m not going to make my parents do that. Besides, I can always go back to the UK and avoid paying it back that way.
9. Last thing received in the mail?
Today, Too Faced eyeshadow in Glitterati (dark shimmery plum/burgundy)
10. How many different beverages have you had today?
2 - tea, and lemon barley water.
11. Do you ever leave messages on people’s answering machine?
If absolutely required, yes. If it’s not urgent then no, I just try again.
12. Who did you lose your CONCERT virginity to?
The best people to lose it to: my favourite band of all time Pulp. Hell, let’s just say I lost it to Jarvis (Cocker, lead singer) and be done with it. Woo!
13. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach?
In England, we don’t have beaches. So, no. Here - I don’t get to go enough. I don’t ever recall doing it. Why would anyone? I doodle.
14. What’s the most painful dental procedure you’ve had?
Physically, having all 4 wisdom teeth out at the same time, but even then it wasn’t so awful. Mentally - getting braces when at uni because playing the flute with a mouth full of metal kills, I tell you.
15. What is out your back door?
The fence. It technically doesn’t open to reveal the back, but is at the side that then eventually gets you to the back.
16. Any plans for Friday night?
If I had a distinct lack of psychological issues, it would be likely. Alas, I’m just a lonely suburbanite, so no.
17. Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?
Yep, it makes it all soft and you can see that it’s brown. It is brown.
18. Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different popcorns?
I’ve no idea what this is nor do I care to, it sounds gross. Ugh.
19. Have you ever been to a planetarium?
Yes. But I only really remember the one near the Greenwich Maritime Museum, near the old Queen’s Palace (Elizabeth I). I can’t recall going to one here though it’s possible I did that school excursion.
20. Do you re-use towels after you shower?
Yes, and I’m hardly ashamed to given that there is a drought problem in Australia and even water restrictions in Melbourne.
21. Some things you are excited about?
Getting more poems published! I wish at present I had more to be excited about but sadly, there isn’t anything to be excited about.
22. What is your favorite flavor of JELL-O?
Ugh! First of all, where I’m from it’s jelly. So no favourite flavour of Jell-O. UGH.
23. Describe your key chain(s)?
Has the bare minimum of keys, and a link to my former life (a metal ornament in the fashion of a flute).
24. Where do you keep your change?
Silver coins go in drug bags, no not drug bags - ziplock ones! Gold coins go in my Snoopy moneybox as that is my emergency fund.
25. When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group of people?
My friend’s 21st a while back and it was a killer speech but no one chose to listen.
26. What kind of winter coat do you own?
A black one, goes down to just above my knee and has a very fluffy fake fur collar. It’s in need of a dry clean.
27. What was the weather like on your graduation day?
The trauma and irritation from being kicked out of music school due to my chronic depression (Bebbo, you’ll rot in HELL! You will! Grrr…) made me decide not to attend. Besides, I would have freaked out and I was sick enough as it was.
28. Do you sleep with the door to your room open or closed?
Generally, with it closed when I actually sleep there, but due to my stupid mental crappy issues, currently with it open. There’s nothing to see and kitty likes to sneak in from time to time.
