I meant to do this days ago....

But as per usual i got sidetracked.

However, since emma is now warbling away in her room, and i seem to be being left to my own devices for a while......

I read Alex' version of this and thought I'd drive you to the brink of boredom with my own.

1. whats the one character in a book movie or television who reminds you of yourself and why?
I guess the one that always springs to mind is Rizzo in Grease, mainly because i always associate my teenage self with the character singing THAT song.
:D

2. If you could have any superpower what would it be?
It would have to be the ability to shapechange.

3.What kind of person do you find yourself romantically attracted to ?
Its almost always those goodlooking guys who know that they are gorgeous, but who have enough of a sense of humour to be able to take the piss out of themselves.
Physically, there are 2 types, the tall blonde blue eyed norse god type, all muscles and pouty lips and flippy hair, and the small, slim, dark haired manicured types who look great in suits.
but they all have to have good mouths....non of these thin lipped guys , good full lipped smooching heaven types thank you very much.

4.how do you think you've matured over the years?
Crikey, where to start?
I know that what you have is often worth millions of times what might have been.
that you have to accept a persons bad personality traits as well as their good.
that its no good fretting over what you've done. its done.it can't be changed, so get on with living with the consequences.
I don't know that that's maturity, its just experience.
Oh, and i also know that you have to live for now, because it might be over any time.

5.whats the freakiest experience you or a friend have hadinvolving ghosts, ufo's of the paranormal.
Erm....my childminder once made a coffee for an old man she chatted to on the stairs of our house [we often had odd people staying] only to find out that there was no one but her and me and my brothers in the house. and that his description matched the previous owner according to our neighbours.
and a friends house was haunted with a ghost that regularly folded back the covers very neatly on all the beds when the occupants were asleep.

6.whats the one opinion that someone can express that makes you want to bitch slap them.
I don't know..there's not much riles me enough for that.
General predjudice on any level mixed with stupidity?
Though if you want to get me going, tell me I'm lying ....does it every time.

7. which family member do you get along with the least and why?
The eldest of my 2 younger brothers.
He has many good point though, but when he gets off on one, i could slap him easilly.
I have to add that he probably thinks the same about me though :D

8.whats the one guilty pleasure that you indulge in?
Hell, i have loads of pleasures that I indulge in, but none of them make me feel guilty.

9. what ethnicities other than your own have you dated?
God, I had to think about this one, mainly because I don't catagorise people by their etnicity :D
I've been out with a turkish guy, and snogged people of more or less all races, but actually I've 'dated' very few people. its what happens when you're married for 13 years and then get into another serious relationship after only a couple of years of being single and wanting to date.

10. what is one political/social issue you might contribute time/money towards?
political?...nothing springs to mind.
social?...ditto
Iam a bad person i think :(

11. whats one of the most superficial things about you?
I have a deep need to be average.
to fit in.
so i keep quiet if i dont agree with things untill i know people well enough to feel comfortable arguing.
and i like firm arses and muscles.
:D

12. what is one of your best qualities?
Erm....i don't judge.

13. when was the last time you yelled at someone?
let me think..have i shouted at the girls today?
yes, when jo was whinging about gettign dressed.


14. whats the crappiest gift you've ever received/given.
I don't know.
I usually love the stuff i'm given, if only for the sentiment, and i only choose things i like or know that the recipient will love to give as presents.

15. what was the crappiest job you've ever had?
working in a newsagents with a lech of a boss who always groped you when you had to climb up the racking to get the fags stored high up.

16. have you ever stolen anything and if so what?
when i was about 8 my cousins [who were 13] used to nick stuff from the shops in scarborough when we wre on holiday, and i pinched a pair of sunnies, then got scared and put them back.

17. whats your favourite pick up line?
I don't have one, but generally i find if you catch a guys eye, smile and look away, then look back and catch his eye again and smile longer, then they come over and give you THEIR best chat up line :D

18. what should a guy/girl do to pick you up in a bar?
Smile, be nice and talk.

'I never got any letters'
'he gave them to me to post'
'oh'
from saving grace, when brenda blethyn meets her dead husbands mistress .
oh, and 'you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off'
but that can hardly count .

If i'd realised how long that would take i would never have started.
