3. Doing permanent damage to myself (or having it done to me), especially losing my sight.

THREE THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND:
1. God. I realise I occasionally sound like I think that I do, so I felt this needed saying.
2. Quite a lot of mathematics, and by extension some science.
3. I consider most other things I can't explain to be a matter of insufficent learning, rather than difficulty of understanding. If you want anything explaining, you should ask me; I probably at least have an excuse.

THREE THINGS THAT ANNOY YOU:
1. Being made physically uncomfortable, e.g. being poked.

2. Honesty.

THREE NEW THINGS YOU WANT TO TRY IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS

1. Mostly I want to spend the next 12 months consolidating and doing the things that I used to do along with the new things I need to do.
2. There are some new things which I ought or have to do, but not that I want to, particularly. This whole paid employment thing (the last one didn't count, it being my dad's company and all), for instance.
3. But I basically don't want to do anything new in the next 12 months. I just want to do more of the old things that make me happy and less of the ones that don't.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT IN A RELATIONSHIP (love is a given):

Excuse me. The word 'Relationship' can refer to many kinds of thing; friends, family, lovers. If I tried to answer in the way it appears the quiz wants you to, I would just be vaguely handwaving to describe tienelle. So let's think about the general concept instead.
1. Honesty. I do not like dealing with people who do not tell me the truth; it confuses me and makes me feel that there's nothing worthwhile to be done here. This is only intensified by the fact I used to have a *big* habit of lying to get out of trouble and still catch myself doing so on occasion.
2. Respect. Everyone has the right to be treated as if they are basically worth the same as you are, and hence their time and money and effort is worth at least the same as yours, if not more. This also covers things like 'if I don't respond to you, I am probably holding lots of state and will flip out if you make me lose it' - respect covers expecting that people have a reason for their actions and hence being accomodating of slightly impolite behaviour because they probably need to do it. I try to be tolerant of slightly impolite behaviour towards me for the same reason.
3. Efficiency. I do not like people who waste my time. I don't mind people taking up my time as long as I have some to spare and they actually need it, but people do have a tendancy to faff. I can waste my time quite adequately by myself and probably more enjoyably, too.

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

1. I am sitting next to a box containing a stuffed-toy Alien Queen.
2. One of the pile of books on the computer beside me is 'The Early Church' by Henry Chadwick.
3. I am not currently in sight range of any plastic ducks.

THREE PHYSICAL THINGS ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX (or same) THAT APPEAL TO YOU:

1. Long hair.
2. Lack of facial hair.
3. Smooth skin.

THREE THINGS YOU JUST CAN'T DO:

1. Be scrupulously clean.
2. Visualise most mathematical concepts. (Vectors eat my brain and I have to do everything with them as if they were just algebra. It's quite embarassing.)
3. Cope.

THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES:

1. Teh Spod
2. Writing
3. tienelle

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO REALLY BADLY RIGHT NOW:

1. Finish this post.
2. Eat far too much chocolate, preferably in the form of chocolate biscuits.
3. Magically not need a shower without actually having to faff around with that showering nonsense.

THREE CAREERS YOU'RE CONSIDERING:

1. Code Monkey
2. Something to do with actually designing computery things which means I get to learn about tasty psychology things too.
3. Writer / comptuer game designer. (I like making worlds. I think I am fairly good at it. I already have several fairly solid and well-thought-out ideas for MMORPGs, but unfortunately you need shiny graphics to go with them and I don't share well.)

THREE PLACES YOU WANT TO GO ON VACATION:

1. I don't really like vacations any more. I like it here. The climate is about right and there are lots of interesting people. I have no reason to go anywhere else.
2. If I had to go somewhere else, I suppose I would like to go somewhere pretty (Iceland?).
3. Quite like to go on holiday to the future, too. I suspect Japan might be interesting for that reason.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:

1. I have actually completed the only thing I put in this category last time I really thought about it.
2. No, I mean it. I really don't have anything I want to do in life. There are lots of things which are fun or useful or pleasent, but no goals, nothing I *need* to get done.
3. The only reason I'd be slightly irritated about dying tomorrow - or right now - is that people would get upset about it. Otherwise, I like what I've done with my life so far and feel I have done everything I needed to do to make my life seem worthwhile to me.

THREE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO TAKE THIS QUIZ NOW OR DIE PAINFULLY:
1. Bad meme. I refuse to submit to your terrible viral nature. People can take this meme or not as they choose. If they are less lazy than me, they might like to take out the caps for the enjoyment of future readers.
