Miscellaneous info about me

Someone sent me an email:

Welcome to the 2004 edition of getting to know your friends. What you're supposed to do is copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail that you'll send. Change all the answers so they apply to you.

Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you'll learn a lot of little known facts about your friends... here goes...

1. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?

Often 8:30am, otherwise between 4:30am (self talk "go back to bed, DO NOT start playing computer games again!") & 12pm mid-day.

2. IF YOU COULD EAT LUNCH WITH ONE FAMOUS PERSON, WHO WOULD IT BE?

Nicole Kidman. I want to know if she remembers any of my friends from Australian Theatre for Young People.

3. GOLD OR SILVER?

As a colour I like gold.

4. WHAT WAS THE LAST FILM YOU SAW AT THE CINEMA?

Shrek 2. It's as good as ther first one and they've done another good soundtrack.

5. FAVOURITE TV SHOW?

The Goodies. Favourite one still on, ER.

6. WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?

Wheat Bix (actually home brand bix) most of the time & something else occasionally to break up the monotony.

7. WHO WOULD YOU MOST NOT WANT TO BE STUCK IN A ROOM WITH?

John Howard.

8. CAN YOU TOUCH YOUR NOSE WITH YOUR TONGUE

No

9. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

People empathising with the suffering of others.

10. WHAT'S YOUR MIDDLE NAME?

Krishna, which was my first name until I stuck a Joe on the front from 1989 to 1992 (1992 was the year I changed it by deed poll).

11. BEACH, CITY, OR COUNTRY?

Yes. I love the beach, I love being in the city & I love visiting the country (but I don't think I could handle living there, which is a pity because people with CFS who move to the country almost always at least improve).

12. SUMMER OR WINTER?

Autumn.

13. FAVOURITE ICE-CREAM?

Boysonberry.

14. BUTTER, PLAIN or SALTED POPCORN?

Whatever arrives (I prefer plain because it's healthier, buttered because it tastes good & salted because I don't put salt in or on anything & an occasional dose is nice).

15. FAVOURITE COLOUR?

Aqua.

16. FAVOURITE CAR?

Audi TT convertible.
2nd hand MX-5 will do just fine one day
Actually I prefer public transport (costs me less than the cost of a Green Slip for a years worth, means I get some exercise & I don't have to worry about a car getting scratched or stolen which happens too often where I live, & I like being around people).

17. FAVOURITE SANDWICH?

Vegemite, although I've switched to Marmite because it's made by an Australian company (and it works out slightly cheaper), but it's not quite the same.

18. TRUE LOVE?

Jesus.

19. WHAT CHARACTERISTIC DO YOU DESPISE?

Lack of mercy, being hard on people who are having a hard time (eg. refugees & indigenous Australians, hence 7).

20. FAVOURITE FLOWERS?

Roses in a variety of colours.

21. IF YOU HAD A BIG WIN IN THE LOTTERY, HOW LONG WOULD YOU WAIT TO TELL PEOPLE?

The time it took me to run to the phone.

22. FIZZY OR STILL WATER AS A DRINK?

Still, my favourite drink is chilled tap water (I may be responsible for Waragamba being at 43% [actually I use 60% of the average water consumption for a single person house]).

23. WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR BATHROOM?

Used to be white & light blue (now more greyish). I don't know what this says about anyone though (unless someone painted it themselves or something).

22. HOW MANY KEYS ON YOUR KEY RING?

8. A few keys to guitar cases & the like.

25. WHERE WOULD YOU RETIRE TO?

Heaven.

26. CAN YOU JUGGLE?

I've had a go at learning but need more practice.

27. FAVOURITE DAY OF THE WEEK?

Sunday. My most socially interactive day of the week, and the day when I get to play music with my friends (sometimes).

28. WHAT DID YOU DO FOR YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY?

Nothing. But I'm already thinking about doing something big & spectacular for my 40th in 3 years time.

29. DO YOU CARRY A DONOR CARD?

No, it's marked on my drivers lisence.

30. SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT THE PERSON THAT SENT THIS TO YOU.

He's a family man who is often the reminder for me to get in touch with our mutual friends.

31. WHO DO YOU LEAST EXPECT WILL RETURN THIS TO YOU?

Don't know. There's a few people who might not be all that interested in it.

32. WHO DO YOU EXPECT TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO RETURN THIS TO YOU?

Either Paul even though he just got married (I'm sure it wouldn't come back for at least a few weeks). Congraulations. Or Darren even though his internet connection isn't working & he'll be reading this on his phone.

Got this wrong, first reply was Mark from NZ & 2nd reply following closely was Daniel from the US neither of whom were interested in answering all the questions and continuing the chain letter but just in saying hello.

So did I get any questions right?

33. IF YOU COULD HAVE A SUPER-POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Heat vision so I can zap cockroaches just by looking at them.

Blessings,
