First Name
Alex
Were you named after anyone?
Alexander the Great
Do you wish on stars?
Tried it once. No result.
Which finger is your favorite?
My left little finger can do silly finger tricks.
When did you last cry?
More than a month ago, IIRC.
Do you like your handwriting?
It's an illegible scrawl. I print whenever possible.
What is your favorite lunch meat?
Reformed turkey breast
Any bad habits?
Many.
What's in your CD player right now?
The Electric Soft Parade - Holes in the Wall. Also coincidentally an ESP mp3 playing at the moment.
Do you believe in soul mates?
No.
Are you a daredevil?
I am the least foolhardy of all my brothers and sisters. However, I'm still probably more so than average. (It's genetic for sure.) I mostly risk heights, but I'm alright with speed as well.
Have you ever told a secret you swore not to?
Only accidentally.
Do looks matter?
Not as much as personality.
Have you ever misused a word and it sounded absolutely stupid?
I have pretty bad word recall, so I often say the wrong word by mistake. I've embarassed myself on many occasions.
Do you think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Rainbows are circular. Have seen this with my own eyes from an airplane.
[BONUS]: Do you own any Beanie Babies, and if so, which ones?
The Agua Moose. (Of the clan Zeus.) But I own him purely for professional reasons. 8^)
Are you trendy?
Deliberately not. I would rather patch old clothes than buy new ones.
How do you release anger?
I don't. I bottle it all up until my brain melts.
Where are your second homes?
The Auld Hoose, Teviot Middle Bar, Appleton Tower computing labs.
Do you trust others easily?
I'm happy to give people a fairly high level of trust immediately. They then gain or lose trust as I get to know them better.
What was your favorite toy as a child?
Lego Technic. I demanded a new set for every birthday and christmas for about six years running. I ended up with quite a large collection.
What class in school did you think was totally useless?
Personal & Social Education. It was pretty much along the lines of "Don't do drugs, M'kay?" at my school.
Do you have a journal?
No. You're hallucinating.
[BONUS]: What's your favorite euphemism?
Something the French apparently say: "I was playing a little five-on-one..."
Have you been in a mosh pit?
They make pits for moshing? I've moshed on a dance floor a few times.
What do you look for in a boy/girl?
The most important thing is a strong personality. Intelligence and creativity are quite literally huge turn-ons for me. I also admire a certain level of straightforwardness (I hate mind games and unneccessary passivity).
On a purely physical level, I usually go for fairly short girls (which is silly, because I'm tall), and I don't usually go for blondes.
What are your nicknames?
'Spud', 'Potato'.
Would you ever bungee jump?
Have done. Everybody should do it once.
Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
I own two pairs of slip-ons for this very reason.
Do you think that you are strong?
When I believe in myself, I'm unstoppable. When I don't, I'm a wreck.
What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Plain and creamy, eg. 99s from an ice-cream van.
What's your favorite color?
Hmmmm... that varies. Navy blue, black, indigo, silver... deep, calming colours.
What is your least favorite food?
I physically gag on liver. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous. Next question!
How many wisdom teeth do you have?
No idea. How many should I have?
Are you in love with anyone?
Not at the moment.
How many people have a crush on you right now?
None that I know of. 8^(
Who do you miss most right now?
Various girls who I haven't seen in ages.
[BONUS]: What's your favorite condiment?
Easy! Maggi Seasoning! MSG deserves its own food group. The food group of goodness.
What are you wearing?
I'm fully dressed; T-shirt, trousers, polyester overshirt worn undone. My feet are bare, though.
What are you listening to right now?
Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No 15 - Allegro Animato 'Rakoczy March'
[BONUS]: What phrase would you pay to remove from the language?
The awful americanism 'most every'
What was the last thing you ate?
A very lovely piece of chocolate cake.
If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
One of those odd ones that nobody knew what to do with, like 'burnt sienna'.
How is the weather right now?
Presumably, still a rather cold and breezy night.
Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
Ummm... my dad, I think. I don't do telephones.
