Nov. 27th, 2004 12:15 amHAVE YOU EVER (basics)
Been in a school play: Pretty much non-stop between the ages of 16 and 18.
Broken a bone: A couple of toes, and my nose twice.
Fell asleep in the shower/bath: Nope
Made a prank phone call: No. Does this make me an incomplete human being?
Tipped over a port-a-potty: You what, now?
Lied: Yes. In fact, I never tell the truth. mmm, paradox!
Used your parents' credit card before: Before I got my debit card, they were the only source of online shopping.
Gone skinny dipping: No, but more through hating taking my glasses off than through inhibition.
Snuck out of the house: No, actually, but then, I've never been grounded.
Ran away: Yes, I had a sleeping bag in my rucksack and everything... I was totally serious about it... but then i spent my running-away money on sweets, sad outside the cornershop for half an hour, and went home for tea when it started to get cold.
Skipped school: Let's just say I have not always been a model student...
Stolen anything?: Kleptomania was once my main mania.
Smoked?: Only in the dim & distant past.
Used drugs?: Ditto.
Drank?: Yes, but rarely to excess.
Broken the law?: Theft (but only corporate giants, mmkay, kids?), under-age drinking, buying child tube tickets when of age, seeing films I was too young for.
Cried in school: Once upon a time. Nowadays I only cry at inane things, like the ending of Shrek. Things that actually affect me tend to bring about hysteria, ranting, full-body tension... but no actual tears.
Let a friend cry on your shoulder: Everybody needs a social function, and for years, that has been mine.
Done something embarrassing: Does anybody seriously say 'no' to this question?
Done something you regret?: "To regret one's own experience is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experience is to put a lie to the lips of one's own life." (guess who?)
Kissed your cousin: No. But I'm not against it on general principle... just with my family.
HAVE YOU EVER (relationships)
Been kissed?: Yup =)
Fallen for your best friend?: Incessently.
Been rejected: Yes, but only by men, so I can't say that I'm particularly depressed about that now.
Been in love?: At the time, or in retrospect? Well, a little bit of both. I've been infatuated a lot more often than I've really felt love, but I think I'm more mature now.
Been in lust?: Not solely in lust with anyone in real life, not for more than a few passing hours.
Used someone?: No, that's just harsh.
Been used?: Possibly. But not in a cruel way.
Cheated on someone?: No.
Been cheated on?: I've been dumped for a guy... does that count?
Broken someone's heart: Just my own.
Kissed two people in the same day?: Isn't that what spin-the-bottle is for?!
Made out with someone you know for three days?: Made out with someone I'd spent less than three days with, yes. But chronology is hardly the best way to judge knowing someone.
DO YOU (EVER)...
Sit by the phone waiting for a phone call all night: No, I don't like the phone... but I often sit on msn because I have no life.
Save AIM conversations: I think MSN does it all automatically.
Save E-mails: w00t, 250MB inbox - I never need to delete anything again!
Wish you were someone else: I am someone else.
Wish you were a member of the opposite sex: Around the age of fourteen, I was very much considering the idea of having a sex-change and being a camp, androgynous gay man. Then I realised a) to be a camp, androgynous gay man, one has to be skinny, snake-hipped, etc and b) I don't actually like penises, I don't particularly want one attached to me permanently thank-you-very-much.
Go online for longer than eight hours at a time: i don't think i've ever made that record... but i do spend shocking amounts of time online.
Colour your hair?: Just various shades of red... I want to go purple! Dare me?
Have tattoos?: No, but I'll be getting an Origin of Love tatoo.
Have piercings?: Just the ears. Tempted by an eyebrow, but in reality I'm probably too old & cautious to get any facial piercings :(
Have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: Yes, Kate. <3. She makes me happy when I don't even realise that I'm sad.
Get motion sickness?: Apparently, only when I have urgent logic work to be doing on the coach journey.
Have a bad habit?: You mean I have to pick only one?! Ok, I fiddle with my earrings compulsively. And I chew my lips.
Get along with your parents?: Just spiffingly.
WHAT IS...
Your Good Luck Charm: Gods, I really don't have one... umm... I suppose, earrings. I feel kinda naked without them.
Person You Hate Most: Well, I don't really do the hate thing, but people who are intolerant through ignorance really get me down.
Best Thing That Has Happened to You: Well, the lot. But, recently? Kate. <3.
On your desk: Disorganised 'piles' of A4, CD cases, vitamin tablets, a tub of bracelets, a corkscrew, a carton of juice 'drink', a stapler, a broken roasry, nail varnish, discarded earrings, far too many corks, and a laptop.
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON...
You talked to?: Mary, walking back from Joe's room at midnight.
You hugged?: Kate. <3.
You instant messaged?: My Jean Genie.
You yelled at?: Dinner on tuesday - "What the hell ARE you?!!
Who text messaged you?: Kate. <3.
Who broke your heart?: Umm, it was accidentally trampled on by Luke throughout 2002/3, and by a joint effort around easter 2000. but it's never been broken in one cruel action, actually. I've always tended to assume unrequition, which I find averts the actual breaking.
WITH THEOPPOSITE SAME SEX
What do you notice first: Clothing, hair, style... the way she carries herself. Gods, I didn't realise how superficial I was!
Last person you slow danced with: Kate, although it's a bit hard to slow-dance in handcuffs....
