helionaSorry, but I have some free time and am spending it messing around! It's quite long, so I've put it behind a cut. It was snerched from Anriel/Kathryn.
Round One
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.
...asleep reading it," she began, then went wide-eyed in dis-
This was actually the second book nearest me, because the first had nothing on page 18!
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can...what do u find?
Television remote and a cup of tea
I'm currently watching the Superbike Championships.
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix
It has just finished. I was only half watching it, the last thing I properly watched was Any Dream Will Do last night (Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber looking for a new Joseph for his West End musical.).
4. Without looking, guess what time it is:
1440
The fact that I know when the Superbike Championships is due to be starting makes it easy to guess!
5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?
1443
Well, whatd'ya know! *g*
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
The television, cars outside, a train, people outside in the garden
It's another lovely day!
7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
About 20 minutes. I was talking to my housemates who are sitting outside reading the Sunday paper.
Like I said, it's beautiful. Who wouldn't want to be outside? (I'm not because there's nowhere to sit!)
8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?
A couple of albums that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hellokimberly gave to me (Days Like These albums)
Haven't listened to them yet, but I need to transfer them across to my own laptop before I can do that.
9. What are you wearing?
Teal leggings/track suit bottoms rolled up to my knees, and a Ramstein t-shirt
I'm in my slob mode!
10. Did you dream last night?
Yes, I always dream
It was something to do with playing hockey, and then there was something about living on Bute and being the only single woman! Very strange, but my dreams always are!
11. When did you last laugh?
Last night
I was reading something on LJ, can't remember now.
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
A painting of a polar bear in Inuit style, a painting by a famous Scottish artist (Jolomo) of the Hebrides, a long mirror, a drawing of a mermaid done by my housemate, a wooden carving of a seal, and a wall light
I'm in my bedroom, in case you were wondering!
13. Seen anything weird lately?
Nothing springs to mind
Although of course, weird for you might be normal for me!
14. What do you think of this quiz?
It's keeping me occupied
I've done worse!
15. What is the last film you saw?
I think it was 102 Dalmations
Oh no, it was the Sweetest Thing, or something, but I didn't see it from the beginning, so the last film I saw all of was 102 Dalmations!
16.If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
I would give my parents and my brother a lot, pay off my student loans, buy a lovely house with a dock somewhere to moor my boat which I would also have bought, buy a car, invest lots, and immediately go on holiday!
*sigh* If only!
17. Tell me something about you that I don't know:
Well, it can't be the boat thing, since most people know that now! Umm, on my paternal grandmother's side, I'm descended from a Spanish Armada sailor.
He was supposedly a Captain, but somehow I don't believe that!
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics what would it be?
I would make people realise how their actions can affect the future of the planet and hope that they would change their world outlook.
Gosh, that's deep! On a lighter (but no less serious!) note, I'd make sure that great shows like The Black Donnellys weren't cancelled!
19. Do you like to dance?
Absolutely
Haven't danced in a while, but yes, I like to prance around like a lunatic on occasion. Always wanted to learn something more proper, like Latin dancing, as well.
20. George Bush:
Assuming we're talking about Junior GW, then everytime he comes on the television, I get this spasm and I can't watch him. That's how much he annoys me!
It's true, he drives me crazy and I can't watch him on television - my brain goes all strange!
21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
Isabella Katerina
I have a hankering for Spanish names for my girls.
22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
Something simple like Andrew or Tom or Sam
Of course, there's always Ricardo or Manuel or Antonio - depends on who the father is!
23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
Yes, definitely
Of course, since I've lived abroad for about half my life, this question is pretty much moot!
24. What do you want to say to God when you reach the pearly gates?
Why?
I'd probably bombard with questions until he got so annoyed with me he bumped down below!
Round 2
1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
Wow, look at all those freckles!
I caught the sun yesterday, and that means that all my little freckles come out - they're a very good indicator as to how much sun I've been exposed to!
2. When is the next time you will have sex?
I wish I knew!
Sex is a sore point (no pun intended!) in my life at the moment! Haven't seen hide nor hair of any in too long to think about!
3. What's a word that rhymes with "DOOR?"
poor
Can you tell I've got money issues at the moment?!
4. Favorite planet?
Pluto
Always has been. I think I like the idea that it's so small and way out there! (A bit like me! *g*)
5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your mobile?
Catherine
That was when she couldn't pick me up in the pub, so she sent me a text message, tried to call me about five times on my mobile (which I didn't hear because the pub was loud) and then called the pub itself! The bartender came out to ask my table who was Helen and to give me a message that some frantic woman had called to say she couldn't pick me up! It was very embarrassing!
6. What is your favorite ring on your phone?
Hungarian Rhapsody #2 by Liszt
This is one of my favourite pieces of piano music, and I was well chuffed when I discovered that it was a ringtone on my phone!
7. What shirt are you wearing?
A Ramstein t-shirt
I'm sorry, but haven't I already answered a question about clothes?!
8. Do you "label" yourself?
God no!
What on earth would I label myself as? Weirdo? Traveller? I'm so eclectic!
9. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
Nothing!
My feet are bare! Hurrah for the warm weather!
10. Bright or Dark Room
Bright
And then I fill it with bookshelves and things so that it's dark! *g*
11. What do you think about the person who took this survey before you?
Talented, brave, and a great taste in books!
Talented because of her writing skills, brave because she's going to be a mother, and a great taste in books speaks for itself!
12. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Solving a murder
I was playing CSI: Miami. Sorry, not nearly as exciting as you probably first thought!
13. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?
I don't believe it! The verandah is on! Kitchen was delivered & installation starts 2moro. Have got some wall lights up but no power 2 house yet. Love Mum
My parents are out in Corfu rebuilding a house.
14. Where is your mailbox?
Don't have one
The mail comes through the front door.
15. What's a word that you say a lot?
Wee
As in 'small', you dirty-minded lot!!
16.Who told you he/she loved you last?
My mother
See above text message!
17. Last furry thing you touched?
Probably a cat from around the neighbourhood
Although we're getting Chandler back for a week tomorrow, so it'll be him soon!
18. How many drugs have you done in the last three days?
Does tea count?
If it does, then I've had about four cups of tea in the last three days. As you can tell, I'm not a tea addict!
19. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?
None
I'm all digital nowadays.
20. Who was the last person you had a chance meeting with?
Ross
loriel_eris and I were crossing Byres Road when he was crossing it going the opposite way.
21. Favorite age you have been so far?
23/4
It was a great birthday, and the year I was 23 I was in the Caribbean! *g*
22. Your worst enemy?
Chocolate!
It didn't have to be a person, did it?
23. What is your current desktop picture?
A photo of Cape Cod lighthouse with the eclipsed moon behind it
It's a very awesome photograph.
24. What was the last thing you said to someone?
Right then
I was talking to my housemates about the whirly-clothes-hanging thing in the garden and then left to go back upstairs. 'Right then' is something I quite often say when I'm leaving to go somewhere.
25. If you had to choose between a million dollars, or being able to fly, which would you do?
A million dollars
For starters, I could really do with a million dollars! Secondly, anyone who has ever swum over a drop-off (sort of an underwater cliff on a reef) knows you can fly without having to take off the ground.
26. Do you like someone?
I don't actually know
Assuming we're talking about men that I actually know! I mean, liking Jensen Ackles goes without saying! *g*
27.The last song you listened to?
Talk Dirty to Me by Poison
I'm in a classic heavy metal/classic rock mood.
28. If the last person you spoke to was getting shot at, would you jump in front of the bullet?
Probably not!
To be honest, I don't think I'd jump in front of a bullet for anyone! I might push them out of the way, though!
29. If you could punch one person in the face who's in your life right now, who would it be?
No-one
Sorry to be boring, but there's really no-one in my life at the moment who's annoying me all that much!
30. If you could be doing anything right now, what would it be?
Sailing in the Caribbean with my parents, no two ways about it!
And if there was a lovely, handsome young man there with us as well (who's initials were possibly JA!) then that'd be a bonus! *g*
