1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
The book nearest to me is most of the way across the room. *fetches* "have been repeating the good news that God is our ultimate" - 'God In All Things', by Gerard W Hughes. It's my mother's book. I haven't read it yet.

2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?:
Curtains.

3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?:
I caught about two minutes of Friends when I went down to get a drink last night.

4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is:
2:15pm

5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?:
2:00pm (Amazing, I actually overestimated.)

6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?:
Nothing. Yamsyn is really quite loud.

7: When did you last step outside? What were you doing?:
About 10:20am. I was going to church.

8: before you came to this website, what did you look at?:
Livejournal. Lots and lots of Livejournal.

9: what are you wearing?:
Black and purple jumper which has some kind of logo on it that I hadn't noticed when I bought it. Sparkly jeans. Glasses. Purple socks. Generic underwear.

10: Did you dream last night?:
Yes. I got up at 6:30am to write it down, but my Psion was downstairs, so I wrote it on paper. Half of it is in transliteration-code and the other half is in Illegible Tired Chessypig Handwriting. I took a few notes on my Psion about the rest of it after I'd been back to sleep. It was in the 'weird, distrubing, set-in-everyday-life nightmare' catagory.

11: George Bush: is he a power-crazy nut case or someone who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?
I have no idea. The government he's allegedly head of appears to be busy doing ass-backwards things, but it *is* America, so we're kind of used to it by now. I haven't been keeping enough track of it to actually hand out blame or anything.

12: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?:
We already did this one. I would attempt not to call them Yamsyn, or any derivative thereof.

13: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?:
I tend to use 'Daniel' and 'David' as the first two male names for characters I like that I think of, so probably one of those.

14: Would you ever consider living abroad?:
Yes. (If some people think they wouldn't - first, they just *have* considered and rejected it; second, they probably just haven't concieved of the right incentive yet.)

Edit: Just noticed a few more questions in other people's versions of this:

15: When did you last laugh?
I actually can't remember. I know I laughed last night; I suspect I laughed nervously without noticing whilst talking to people at church.

16: What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Blue paint, fairly bright (was a compromise between Really Bright Blue and dull creme). Many posters of pretty things. A framed picture and poem that dr_vannacutt gave me. A cork-and-wood notice-board populated only by ladybird pins. Behind my computer is lots of grime.

17: Seen anything weird lately?
Define 'weird', and I'll tell you.

18: What do you think of this quiz?
It's actually one of the better memes going around; not so repetative as many of them.

19: What is the last film you saw?
I saw Finding Nemo with CURS, and I saw RotK with Naath, and I'm not at all sure without going and looking stuff up what order those came in, or whether I've seen anything since them (but I suspect the latter answer is 'no', as I don't go and see films that often).

20: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?
Probably some food, given that's what I buy most often. Probably cheap food, as per usual. I would mostly be sitting here overwhelmed by the sheer number of good causes that could really do with the money and trying to work out who I was going to give what amount to when. Although I don't know, I might be selfish and put it in some kind of guaranteed-interest thingamy so I could live off the interest and never need to work; I should still end up with quite a lot to give away.

21: Tell us something about you that we don't know.
Given the composition of my friends list, that's really quite difficult. Um. I have three bottles of water on my bedside table right now, one of them empty, one of them about 1/5 full of the water it came with which is getting a bit stale now, and one of them about 1/3 full of tap water which is probably stale enough to be actively bad for me. That was sufficiently trivial that nobody knew it already.

22: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
People appear to be interpreting this as 'and the people on it too', so I'd make it so that they all accepted Jesus as their saviour. Sorry to be repetative on this one (and I'm sure I'll have a slew of comments along the lines of 'but what if they don't want to', but given that I'd have the power to change that one thing, I could change it so they did), but there really isn't anything else that comes close.

If it has to be about the *world*, as in the inanimate / non-human bits, I think enismirdal had a good point when she said that making the climate of everywhere temperate would sort out a lot of problems, so I might go with that, on the grounds I can't think of anything particularly useful (unless I try and contrive some way to make it imply the above by the back door, like 'displays God's goodness so clearly that people turn to Him' or some such).

23: Do you like to dance?
Yes. Despite my utter and complete lack of co-ordination.

One day if im unlucky you mite see me dance and you will be the dance master compared to the "movement" i do to music. Its really really bad. One person on my friend list can testify to this from recent exposure to my "danceing" (cringe)

And your right. A world where everyone accepted and loved Jesus would be a very functional and good world but to make them belive like that would take away there free will. Have i understood what you meen there?

Take care.
Have a nice day ;-)
