A - Act your age? I'm not sure how a seventeen year old is supposed to act.
B - Born on what day of the week? Friday.
C - Chore you hate? Anything that just has to be done *again* and *again* so you don't feel like you're getting anywhere by doing it. Current 'favorite' is shaving my legs, given that happens to be *entirely pointless* as well as highly repeating.
D - Dad's name? Paul.
E - Essential makeup item? I wear absolutely no makeup whatsoever on a regular basis.
F - Favorite actor? I can never remember the names of actors, and they're generally disappointing as people and not characters.
G - Gold or silver? It depends what other colours it is with and whether the effect is meant to be warm (gold) or cold (silver).
H - Hometown? Braintree, I guess. (My birth certificate says I was born in Braintree, Braintree. I find this mildly amusing.)
I - Instruments you play? None whatsoever. (I can make tunes occur on a keyboard, but I have no sense of rhythm, and you've all heard the story about what happened when I had keyboard lessons.)
J - Job title? Lazy Schmuck.
K - Kids? Every now and again I get terrifyingly maternal, so I'll probably end up with at least one. I might not be able to cope if it isn't female, and I'm not sure I ever intend to actually have sex, so she might have to be a clone. I'll probably name her something unforgivable like Yamsyn or Hermione. (Pippin Galadriel, anyone?)
L - Living arrangements? The good thing about living with your parents is you have no rent and don't have to clean. The bad thing about living with your parents is your parents. Even though my parents are wonderful, I still happen to be a teenager, and hence am contractually obliged not to get on with them.
M - Mom's name? Julia. (Although she would be rather annoyed if I called her 'mom'; she doesn't even like the term 'mum'.)
N - Number of people you've slept with? Technically, I've shared double beds with at least 6 different people. You've already got the answer you're looking for, if you've been reading the other letters.
O - Overnight hospital stays? Only when I was just born.
P - Phobia? I'll say dogs, although I still maintain this is an entirely rational fear, and hence not really a phobia at all.
Q - Quote you like? I think I'll stand by my original choice of quote (way back on my g96mh2 Yahoo profile): 'But I *do* know everything!' - Q.
R - Religious affiliation? Christian.
S - Siblings? If I'd had any, they'd probably have been moved to safe accomodation by now, due to their sister trying to kill them all the time for messing with her stuff, or just because she's bored.
T - Time you wake up? Seven am. Even when I don't have to, recently.
U - Unique habit? I suspect not many people have any truly unique habits, unless they specify one with a large degree of precision, or cheat and mention more than one set of characteristics at once. So, in the spirit of the latter: being me.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat? Sprouts and broccoli. Although I'll eat broccoli if it's cooked to death and covered in sauce, and I haven't even tried sprouts for years.
W- Worst habit? Picking my nose in the bath, scratching off balls of dry skin, cleaning out earwax, and then leaving the resulting mixture on the side of the bath for the next person to discover. (I generally don't do the last part any more, after having been threatened with increasingly extreme measures if I was caught doing it again.) That or eating those big chunks of period-blood-ness that end up floating around in the bath.
X - X-rays you've had? I had an X-ray when people were messing with my teeth (because I had one front tooth practically at 90 degrees to the direction it was meant to be facing).
Y - Yummy food you make? I don't make much yummy food by myself.
Z - Zodiac Sign? Gemini, which according to
enchantedmelody is so amazingly inappropriate that it practically constitutes proof the whole thing is rubbish.
B - Born on what day of the week? Friday.
C - Chore you hate? Anything that just has to be done *again* and *again* so you don't feel like you're getting anywhere by doing it. Current 'favorite' is shaving my legs, given that happens to be *entirely pointless* as well as highly repeating.

Date: 2003-03-27 06:49 am (UTC)From:i was going to say something about Braintree but erm how can i put this withough causing affence to you.
I just returned from the bathroom after just having deposited my toast that i just ate on reading your worst habit bit. The first ones are cool but being a bloke i have never experinced that bodily function or tried eating the resultant product.
my eyes are watering but please feel good about this you are the first person to mess with my mind since middle school.
.......
On the moment of reflection i just had it cant be much different then eating scabs.
And on a much brighter note that i hope makes you smile the rest of that is all really really cool and i like the part about you think you would kill and siblings. Ive tried and it never works even a hand full of deadly nightshade each didnt finish the job and as punishment only my sister was alowd to be stomec pumped.
And things you have to do over and over and over again like school work make me feel horid too.
And i feel the same way living with parents cept when i have money i pay rent and they dont mind if i stagger in at 5am with to of my friends and pass out.
Why dony you make Yummy food for your self?
O yes isnt there something that used to be on telly in Braintree or something that ive herd in my life thats in Braintree????

If you wear trousers most of the time (which I get the impression you do) then how can it matter to your parents or anyone else?

"I know a worser one."
