Oh, Fer Gawd’s Sake…

…another meme that every single person I know is doing…

1. IF YOU COULD BUILD A SECOND HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Rome. Damn straight. Like wine? Like food? Like city life? Like culture? Like entertainment? Rome.

2. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLES OF CLOTHING?
I love my long leather trenchcoat, but that’s a bit outer, clotheswise. My shiny black shirt would probably be top of the list.

3. THE LAST CD YOU BOUGHT?
“Purple”, by Stone Temple Pilots. I’ve loved “Interstate Love Song” since we used to cover it in Strange Machine, back in about 1995 or so, so it seemed like about time to get the album it came from. It’s great, too.

4. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
Weekdays: first alarm goes off at 7.15am, second one at 7.31am, usually hit snooze once and get up at 7.36am.
Weekends: Saffron’s alarm on her phone goes off at 10am, though I’m normally awake by then. Her alarm doesn’t need to go off at all at weekends, but she never remembers to switch it off.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE?
We just got a dishwasher. It has returned peace to a once-troubled kingdom.

6. IF YOU COULD PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Aside from the one I already play, I always fancied drums. HIT STUFF! HIT STUFF HARD!

7. FAVORITE COLOR?
Yellow.

8. WHICH VEHICLE DO YOU PREFER, SPORTS CAR, MOTORCYCLE, or SUV?
Sports car, probably in yellow.

9. DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE AFTERLIFE?
Not sure. Logically, no, but… can this really be it?

10. FAVORITE CHILDREN�S BOOK?
When I was small I loved a little book called “The Forgotten Bear”, though even remembering it now breaks my heart a tad. This bear got forgotten and lost, and… it was really sad. I’d probably say the first Harry Potter book. They were originally intended for kids, you know. :-)

11. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Summer, man. Damn right. Van Halen: “Summer nights and my radio, that’s all we need baby, don’t you know?” Yeah.

12. IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT?
Grim reaper, right shoulder. Paul is my tattoo brother - he has one just the same.

13. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I wish I’d thought of “Luck” as an answer, but Justin beat me to that one. It would have to be Invincibility or Flight. Both, ideally.

14. CAN YOU JUGGLE?
Nope.

15. ONE PERSON/PEOPLE FROM YOUR PAST YOU WISH YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO.
My old flatmate who, through a seccession of misunderstandings and weird circumstances, won’t talk to me any more.

16. WHAT IS UNDER YOUR BED.
Shoes. Spare bedding. The Holy Grail. A unique and new breed of microscopic monkey that lives in the carpet. David Soul. Some books. John Lennon’s favourite sunglasses. A living effigy of Zippy The Pinhead. Your mum. Not all of these are true.

17. WHAT�S YOUR FAVORITE DAY?
Saturday, for all the most obvious reasons.

18. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SUSHI OR HAMBURGER?
You don’t know me very well, do you? Hamburger, though I’d prefer a pizza all things considered.

19. FROM THE PEOPLE YOU WILL POST THIS TO, WHO�S THE MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST?
I don’t think there’s anyone left who’ll see it who hasn’t already done it.

20. WHO�S THE LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
The Pope. Very unlikely indeed.

21. WHO DID YOU RECEIVE THIS FROM? OR TAKEN FROM THEIR LJ?
Everybody in the western world.

22. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FLOWER?
Flower? Those are the coloured things that grow in vases in other people’s houses, yes? Some of the yellow ones are nice.

23. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL?
For many years it would have been pizza, but nowadays I think Chilli Con Carne, as conjured by Saffron. Or a good carbonara.

24. WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY?
10th of January.

25. DESCRIBE YOUR PJ�s.
Haven’t worn any in years.

26. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BREAKFAST?
Bacon sarnies and a strong cup of coffee. It’s the only way to fly.

27. DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB?
#@&%^�$$$! WTF???!?!1?? NGH!! To be honest, it could be so much worse. I’m indoors, using my brain, and there’s no heavy lifting involved. Sometimes I do contemplate throttling people though.

28. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM JOB?
Rock star, plainly.

29. WHAT AGE DO YOU PLAN TO RETIRE?
Age 45, having made it as a rock star, somewhere in France.

30. WHERE DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE OR SIGNIFICANT OTHER?
She was stalking the singer in a friend’s band. I talked her out of it. :-)

BONUS: SOMETHING YOU�D LIKE TO DO THAT YOU�VE NEVER DONE BEFORE?
Wake up and realise that I’m loaded and I don’t have to work ever again.
