The most important thing to note about me: surveys like these are something I generally consider trivial, a waste of time, and mostly filled with questions that won't help you to understand much serious about me at all. Read my journal if you want to know more about me. :3

Okay

[identity profile] fiat-knox.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

Very Well

[identity profile] fiat-knox.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)

I tried answering this on another journal but my answers were longer than the comment box allows.

In other news, lj-cuts are your friend.

[identity profile] fiat-knox.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
1) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
A. Yes, I am - and have been since May 2007.

2) What was your dream growing up?
A. To, erm, bake cakes? I didn't really have ambitions when I was a boy.

3) What talent do you wish you had?
A. To sit in the lotus position, or maybe find myself a really well paid job.

4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
A. Black coffee.

5) Favorite vegetable?
A. Tomatoes.

6) What was the last book you read?
A. Fall of the Camarilla. I know. Colour me geeky.

7) What zodiac sign are you?
A. Cancer.

8) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
A. None, nowhere.

9) Worst Habit?
A. Pride.

10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
A. But of course - and no dumb "where's your time machine" jokes either.

11) What is your favorite sport?
A. Watching the Christmas shopping on the last day, and the first day of January sales.

12) Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude?
A. Optimistic.

13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
A. Well, if the only way out was up the hatch, whoever's taller and lighter would have to stand on the shoulders of the heavier and get up there. So that'd be you, then.

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
A. Almost dying. Almost. The day there's no more almost ... that'll be the worst. Anything else ... gravy.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
A. I'm a Discordian.

16) Do you have any pets?
A. Nope.

17) What if i showed up at your house unexpectedly?
A. I'd invite you in, give you a cuppa, clear the books off the sofa, turn up the heating and break out the spare blankets.

18) What was your first impression of me? (hmmm...careful!)
A. "BIG Jack Harkness fan. HUGE. Wonder if he'd like to visit Cardiff some day?"

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
A. Scary. I'm counting on scary.

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
A. Physically, lighter and slimmer. Working on it.

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
A. I'd be a Bond villain.

22) What color eyes do you have?
A. Blue.

23) Ever been arrested?
A. Nope, and plan on never being arrested either. One good reason why I never graduated from Bond Villain Academy. The other was the fact that I never could scrub those last lingering traces of compassion from my soul, no matter how many traffic tickets I forged and slapped onto parked cars.

24) Bottle or can soda?
A. Bottle.

25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?

29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
A. I have none. I do my favourite thing all. The. Time.

30) Do you swear a lot?
A. What's swearing but the stating of a word referring to a body part or bodily function? "Swearing", "uttering oaths" and "cursing" - even "profanities" (from profane, "before the temple" where oaths were sworn) all derive from the habit of tying one's Fate into one's intentions. The words regarded by prudes as "obscene" nowadays are an indication of how far off people's perceptions have fallen from the Old Ways.

31) Biggest pet peeve?
A. None. Remember "almost"?

32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
A. Authentic.

33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
A. After [livejournal.com profile] naaila entered my life ... yes.

35) Do you believe in God?
A. Kind of. It's as complicated as my opinion on whether or not ghosts exist.

36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
A. Done.
