Tag Me!

I haven't done one of these meme thingies before, although I like the name for it. So, in a new and exciting development to this blog, I’ve pinched this one from Chaucer's Bitch.

1. Pick Out A Scar You Have, And Explain How You Got It

I have a scar on my ear that I received from a barbed wire fence when I was a child. I was climbing through said fence when a friend let go and – ping – off came the top part of my ear. One pint of blood less later, a few dozen stitches and it was back on. Impressively, unless you look hard enough, you can’t really see the scar. As such, I don't think this is part of my "nice person" problem.

2. What Is On The Walls In Your Room?

Woodchip wallpaper, a Wallace and Gromit calendar (which I’ve just notice I’ve not turned over from March – is this unlucky?) and some real film cells from three blockbusters in presentation frames. Hopefully, they'll gain in value over the next few years - that and the other 1000 "limited" editions in the issue.

3. What Does Your Phone Look Like?

It’s a Motorola RAZR V3 – I think! Why don’t these darn things actually say what model number they are? It’s also on the blink. I think I’ve dropped it too much.

4. What Music Do You Listen To?

Just about everything – from classical to the latest chart music. However, I draw the line at country and western and rap music.

5. What Is Your Current Desktop Picture?

A picture of Scrat – the perpetual nut chasing squirrel character from the Ice Age computer animated films. If it's not too weird, I'd probably like a picture of my girlfriend (see 6 below as to why it's Scrat).

6. What Do You Want More Than Anything Right Now?

A girlfriend. But since that's currently looking pretty unachieveable at the moment, how about an Aston Martin DB9?

7. Do You Believe In Gay Marriage?

I personally don’t agree with it, but I’ll always respect the decision of any gay couples who choose to do so. In fact, I have a gay work colleague who has done just that and they are very happy.

8. What Time Were You Born?

10.30am – give or take five minutes.

9. Are Your Parents Still Together?

Yes.

10. What Are You Listening To?

Right now? I’m watching/listening to an episode of House M.D season two on DVD. Music wise, I’m listening to Nelly Furtado.

11. Do You Get Scared Of The Dark?

No, although I get more concerned about bumping into something and stubbing my toe.

12. The Last Person To Make You Cry?

I don’t remember a physical person making me cry, but the end of the Shawshank Redemption did make me shed a tear – but that wasn’t really crying.

13. What Is Your Favourite Cologne / Perfume?

I have some Burberry aftershave that is quite nice.

14. What Kind Of Hair/Eye Colour Do You Like On The Opposite Sex?

I’m not bothered – just as long as they’ve got some.

15. Do You Like Pain Killers?

I try to avoid them unless really necessary.

16. Are You Too Shy To Ask Someone Out?

A wee bit, but I’m getting better. I’d much prefer it if they asked me – but that’s kind of unheard of by women!

17. Fave Pizza Topping?

I quite like folded pizza with a bit of everything – but hold the anchovies.

18. If You Could Eat Anything Right Now, What Would It Be?

Actually nothing. I’m not hungry and have no desire to eat anything.

19. Who Was The Last Person You Made Mad?

‘Cos I’m such a nice person - I hope no one. I guess one of my bosses at my last job was a little upset when I handed in my notice though.

20. Is Anyone In Love With You?

Have you read my blog?!
