Re: Re: Quiz (there was probably a FW: in there too)
Blah, Blah Blah you know the pre-amble so here it is a silly quiz that will tell you all kinds of largely irrelevant things... my distraction for the day. (Well obviously not the only one, this is me after all but..) and yes if you do feel like sending it back with your answers that would be interesting... but I couldn't care less if you send it to anyone else.
And just to make this actually meaningful... Sara* and I have got or Xmas/New Years plans figured out, so for those who are interested we'll be in fernie from the 22nd of Dec until the 30th and then in the Peg from the 31st 'till the 8th before moving on to montreal for some as yet indeterminate period of time.
And yes I recognize that I have not written to many/most of you in.... um possibly ever? My appologies, I do intend to remedy that but I hope you are well in the mean time. :)
and now I should really get back to work
Rob
1. Time of starting? 12:52
2. Were you named after anyone? Maybe... kinda... sorta... I guess so... see there one that's my cousin so I don't know if that counts and then there's another one that's a photographer... but I think I just kinda have the same name.
3. Do you wish on stars? Ocasionally
4. When did you last cry? Properly cry? I dunno.. I was pretty broken up when I had to leave Sara in toronto after that first sumer... but I was trying to get 9hrs home at the time so I wasn't at liberty to cry... and probably wouldn't have anyway
5. Do you like your hand writing? Yes, it's cryptographic
6. What is your favourite meat? Buffalo is pretty good, I like duck but recently I'd have to say tuna... as long as it's not cooked.
7. What is the most embarrassing CD on your shelf? depends entirely on who's looking... but I tend not to get embarassed since alot of the music in my collection (notice I don't say my music) was aquired in the precess of burning cds for others (this was before anyone had them and also when most people didn't have broadband so I actually got them on zip disks... wow that was back in the day)
8. If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you? Well if I were another person then probably.. if I were another me however... probably not so much... we'd both be way too lazy to keep anything going on... we would share lost of interests tho which might make it easier. But I'm usually content on my own so reaching out doesn't happen... yeah it's a personal weakness that's compounded by moving relativly often.
9. Are you a daredevil? Yes I have minimal judgement. But I'm a lazy daredevil which is how I got to be 26.
10. Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell? Not that I'm aware of... but my memory is notoriously transient/intermitant... So it's entirely possible that I've forgotten A. that I've ever done it, B. that it was a secret, C. that I'd ever heard it in the first place
11. How do you release anger? In my childhood. Now I am one with the Tao... or possibly just self-flagilation... unless I'm tired and/or hungry in which case I'll be snappy as all hell to anyone close to me but that's not really anger that's just me being a jerk.
12. Where is your second home? Oh shit tough question... ummm if you mean in day to day life then it's downtown chicago where I live halftime. If the question is where my heart is then it's where ever Sara has gotten to now (right now I think that means Irutusk) 'cause she's so rarely here. But if the question is "where I'd rather be" then it oscilates with the seasons between Fernie BC and Can. Sheild. Of course camp is the place where I feel at home as soon as I arrive. Winnipeg makes a strong case as a second home since I (think that I) will always have (a) place(s) to stay... K that was too much thought.. perhaps just where ever I'm not.
13. Do you trust others easily? often but not always
14. What was your favourite toy as a child? I was all about the HeMan and the Transformers, then later, I was all about the ninja turtles. I was also a Construx(sp?) kid rather than lego.
15. What class in school/uni do you think is totally useless? anything that is badly taught <rant about damnable research profs who are forced to teach but don't want to and haven't got a clue how to do it, as well as teachers that don't understand kids, and just general incompetence>
16. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Why, whatever do you mean?
17. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? Not actually a proper mosh pit... I tend to like to have more room to dance, but sometimes some of the parties, particularly in Toronto, that I've been to got pretty mosh-y
18. What do you look for in a guy/girl? I've never really thought about it... a connection I guess.
19. Would you do a bungee jump? done it twice, but I'd love to go sky-diving
20. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? rarely
21. What's your favourite ice cream flavour? vanilla generally because liqueurs work so well with it... but I prefer gellato
22. What are your favourite colours? additive or subtractive colours? crayola or oil paints (or acrylics) (or markers)? I am a fan of Pantone M12**
23. What is your least favourite thing? the relentless march of time
24. How many people do you have a crush on right now? no crushes I've got who I want and I want who I've got... that's not to say more might not be better
25. What do you miss most right now? Sara. and 4 month summer vacations
26. What colour underwear are you wearing? green
53. Halfway time? 13:34-9:00 (ummm yeah there was lunch and then a meeting and then going home and sg and sleep and then coming back to work
27. What are you listening to right now? morning office chatter
28. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be? burnt sienna
29. What is the weather like right now? foggy but not that cold... they give everything here in °F so beyond that I don't really know
30. Last person you talked to on the phone? My Mom
31. The first thing you notice about the opposite sex? usually that they are there
32. Do you like the person who sent you this? damnstraight.. i'm just a bit annoy that he's threatening to be in england for new years
34. Favourite drink? tea and other infusions
35. Favourite alcoholic drink? depends... I'm a fan of Pinot noirs... micro-brewed beers... most everything else... my favorite drink to take to a cock-luck*** party is a Slow Comfortable Screw, technically Slo gin, Southern Comfort and orange juice but I like to add vodka
37. Eye colour? "grey" but actually blue-green with ratios that change depending on my mood and clothing
38. Wear contacts? No
39. Siblings? 2 brothers and sister all younger and in that order
40. Favorite month? well it used to be setpember 'cause I was always so fit after working at camp all summer... but now... don't really have one... except for the one that I get to see sara of course.
41. Favourite food? Sushi... always has been
42. Last movie you watched? Serenity
43. Favourite day of the year? New Years is good because I usually get to see most of my winnipeg friends, but no particular favorite beyond that
44. Have you ever been too shy to ask someone out? it's been a long time...
45. Scary movies or happy endings? Neither... but happy endings are better
46. Summer or winter? It's all so relative depending on your hemisphere... but Summer is good
47. Hugs or kisses? Yes
48. Do you want your friends to write back? honestly I'm pretty ambivilant... I'd hate to encourage anyone to waste as much time as I have on this
49. Who is most likely to respond? Kerri-lynn cause she's already got it filled out (even tho I'm not sure that this is actually a kerri that I know)
50. Who is least likely to respond? my blog (which I bcc'd this to) because it's not a person, (and which I'm not linking to because it's boring)
51. What book/magazine are you reading at the moment? the Tao of Pooh, Ctrl-Alt-Del Vol 1, The Economist (last weeks), Maximum PC from 2 months ago, various erotica anthologies
52. Time of finishing: 9:23 wow the second half was way faster...
* If you don't know who this Sara character is then you and I might need to sit down and have a chat. find out more about where the hell she is at http://avatarofcunning.blogspot.com/
** No I have no idea what or even if this is proper antone designation. If it were it would be metalic.
*** it's a potluck with cocktails. Not whatever else you were thinking... dirty dirty you.
And just to make this actually meaningful... Sara* and I have got or Xmas/New Years plans figured out, so for those who are interested we'll be in fernie from the 22nd of Dec until the 30th and then in the Peg from the 31st 'till the 8th before moving on to montreal for some as yet indeterminate period of time.
