Lifted this meme from a friend of mine, [livejournal.com profile] running_swift. So what the hey, here goes nothing.



A

  • Available: As far as I know, for now

  • Age: 26, for now

  • Annoyance: Pull up a chair and get a drink, this could take a while

  • Animal: Dogs, horses, apes

  • Airsoft, Paintball or Hammock: Airsoft, unless I'm tired, in which case I'll take the hammock



B

  • Beer: Urgh, no. Tastes like it came out the wrong end of a camel. Which could be either end, I suppose

  • Birthday: 14th of June

  • Best feeling in world: Don't know, really. Never used to have many. But being around friends who actually like one is well up there.

  • Blind or Deaf: Not at the moment, but no sense in taking it for granted

  • Best weather: Rain. Lots of heavy rain. Either while suitably dressed, or viewed from inside.

  • Been on stage: As much as I can

  • Believe in Santa: More likely than God. ;-)



C

  • Candy: No - crisps

  • Color: Red

  • Chocolate/Vanilla: VANILLA. The one true way.

  • Chinese/Mexican: Swedish, really - don't like exotic food much. Although I do own four woks, three cleavers, and an extensive collection of partially oriental spices.

  • Cake or pie: Depends. Apple pie or Princess cake is going to be a tough call... but probably the cake.

  • Cheese: NO. Just... no.



D

  • Day or Night: Night, usually, but days are nice too, when I see them.

  • Dance in the rain: If it's nice rain and not too much of an audience around, sure.

  • Diets: I'm on a very strict diet. Fried food only. Healthy eating can't be good for you.

  • Dictionary or Thesaurus: Thesaurus, though I don't use either much these days

  • Distinctive noises: [SCRATCH, SCRATCH]

  • Drink: Irn-Bru, Päronsoda, Zingo



E

  • Eyes: Green, I think

  • Everyone has: ...an embuggerance at some point. The trick is to find the minor ones.

  • Ever failed a class? Yup. But it was sports, so that's OK. (And English once, because my teacher managed to make the average of eight tens and a 12 (out of 10) a 3.25...)

  • Excesses: Books. Just in the bookcases behind my desk I have over 500, and scores of thousands more dotted about.

  • Elvis or Elton: Elvis.



F

  • Full name: Andrew, followed by some other stuff

  • First thoughts waking up: "Oh bollocks, bloody morning again. Can someone turn out the sun so I can go back to sleep?"

  • Food: Chips. Bacon. Chips and bacon, or bacon with chips. Fried potatoes. You get the idea.

  • Firearm: Yes please. Particularly keen on the P226 and HK's roller-locked series.

  • Foxtrot or Quickstep: Quickstep



G

  • Greatest Fear: Too many to remember, too irritating to consider.

  • Goals: Live life, get rich, get a nice house and a few nice cars, be happy.

  • Gum: Urgh

  • Get along with your parents: Yup, on the whole

  • Good luck charm: Does a well-stocked belt count?



H

  • Hair Color: Dark brownish

  • Happy: Pretty much, at the moment

  • Holiday: What's one of them?

  • How do you want to die: Late, ideally. Failing that, quickly and comfortably. In my sleep at the age of 140 would be about right.

  • Hardest thing to do: Figuring out what to do and daring to do it. Getting the motivation to change oneself.



I

  • Ice Cream: ...is the purest form of pleasure. Real vanilla is best, though I'm also partial to raspberry ripple, strawberry, pear and watermelon.

  • Instrument: Drums, piano, trumpet, kazoo

  • Ice or Fire: Fire

  • India, Japan, USA or Milton Keynes: Sweden. Failing that, USA - at least I can understand a similar language.

  • IPCONFIG: 192.168... behind NAT over 802.11g

  • Irn-Bru: Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesplease



J

  • Jewelry: My dogtags, but that's about it

  • Job: Should get one. Might apply for the police, if I get fit enough.

  • Journal much? Nope. Probably should.

  • Jungle essentials: Travel arrangements out of there.

  • Journey: As little as possible. But across the US in a nice car would be fun.



K

  • Kids: None of my own, but I've always got on well with them. Goes with talking to them as if they're adults, I suppose.

  • Kickboxing or karate: Aikido

  • K9 or Feline: K9, definitely, but cats are nice too

  • Kilogrammes: A bit over 100

  • Kiss, first: I dunno, but I imagine I'll enjoy finding out.

  • Kitchen: I wants one, I does

  • Killed anyone: Nope. Maybe I could, maybe I couldn't; I think I could if I had to, but don't want to have to find out.



L

  • Longest car ride: With a two-hour break for loading and snacking, Scotland-Dover-Calais-Brussels-Denmark-Stockholm. Just over 24 hours all told.

  • Only the young: Can get away with playing with Playmobil without anyone telling them you're too old... bastards.

  • Once and never again: Norovirus, I hope

  • Orthodontists - hate 'em or love 'em: HATE. HATE, HATE, HATE. Bastards. At least the one that ruined my teeth...

  • Orthodox or individualist: Very individual



P

  • Perfect Pizza: No cheese, no tomato. Just bacon, pineapple and mushrooms. In fact, skip the pizza, I'll just have the bacon.

  • Period - before your time, after your time, in your time: After my time in dress and music, before my time in so many things... at least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

  • Petrolhead: Not really. Except yes.

  • Pigmentation: Not much

  • Party person? Not really, at least not what most people think of as parties.



Q

  • Quote: "There's literally no quote so stupid that some idiot won't put it on a t-shirt."

  • Quest: To get a Corvette.

  • Queries: The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.

  • Quintessentially you: Wearing camouflage, sitting behind a drum kit, drinking Zingo

  • Skipped school: Once. It was sports.

  • Smoked: Nope. I like my lungs.

  • Skinny dipped: Nope.

  • Sing well: So I'm told, at least.

  • Showers: A wonderful habit, which is why I'm so annoyed that the one working bathroom at home has no working shower...

  • Swear: Not on the whole, though more in writing than speech.

  • Time for bed: About two hours ago

  • Take time to: Talk to friends who need to talk

  • Tea or coffee: Coffee

  • T-shirt, polo or shirt: Shirt

U

  • Unpredictable: Yes. But then you knew I was going to say that.

  • Under my bed: At the moment, a holdall full of DPM kit and a Mk12 SPR rifle. Airsoft, of course.

  • Ugliest thing you own: I have a spectacularly hideous knitted jumper somewhere.

  • Unimpressive moment: "She seems nice. I should talk to her." (Three hours later, gets off train.) "She seemed nice. I should have talked to her. Bugger."

  • Which friend acts like you: [livejournal.com profile] running_swift, probably

  • Worst feeling: That of wanting to help a friend but not being able to

  • Where do we go when we die: Hopefully nowhere; utter oblivion seems the least terrifying of all prospects, and eternity must get dull sooner or later. But somewhere nice would also work.

  • Worst Weather: Too darn hot.



X

  • X-Rays: When I broke my arm falling into a snowdrift. And dental x-rays, of course.

  • Xerox any body parts? A hand, when I was nine.

  • Zen: Cl-

  • Zip or buttons: Zips

  • Zealous: Not at all, and if you disagree you MUST BE BURNED AT THE STAKE, HERETIC!!! WAAAAAAGH! ...hrm.



LAST PERSON WHO...

  1. Slept in a bed beside you: In a bed beside mine, or beside me in the same bed? Because the latter would have been shortly after I was born, and it was my mother. I did share a room - but not a bed - in the air force, though.

  2. You went to the mall with: The "mall"? I'm not in America... That said, I did go to a mall in Canada with some folks on a school trip.
