Who starts all these things, anyhow? I'm just answering some of the qs, I'm sure I've done so many before.

-YOU-
What does your name mean? - 'Who is like God?'
How old are you? - 16. Or about 30ish, or about a week, depending on what question you're asking.
How old are you mentally (as in: are you mature?) - Some people insist I'm mature, why I'm not quite sure. I like to think of myself as about 6 or 7, but I'm probably closer to 40, and have been just about all my life.
Describe yourself in 5 words. - Sweet ickle confuzzled Chessypig person.
What are your worst qualities? - I dunno. The Uselessness Bug hasn't got me yet today. Prolly being arrogent.
What are your best qualities? - I'm me :) (This is actually a quite specific quality - what you see is what you get, trying to be anyone else just screws me up and doesn't fool anyone anyway.)
How long does it take you get ready in the morning? - It takes about 15mins for breakfast and general waking-up-ness, 10 minutes for throwing clothes on and cleaning teeth, and 35mins for reading books, losing things, finding other things, getting into philosophical debates, trying to upload things to Talia or put them on disk, throwing things in my folder, forgetting my lunch, forgetting my train fare, etc etc.
Do you dream at night? - Just about every night, unless I'm utterly exhausted.
Do you remember your dreams? - I used to remember them all the time, but now I often can't manage it - I blame having to get up too quickly and get ready for the train, I don't have the time to remember them properly (run them through to fix them in memory).
Describe one - I haven't had any good (as in, memorable) ones lately, and anyway, they're long and rambly and take entries in themselves.
What time do you wake up normally? - 7am, due to the nasty bleepy alarm.
What time do you wake on weekends? - Either 7am, 'cos my body clock is insistant, or 9am, because I get hungry.
Do you sleep with one pillow or two? - I used to not sleep with any, but I'm getting soft in my old age and need one now, but only a very flat one...

-FRIENDS-
Do you have heaps of friends? - No.
Do you have a best friend? - Calling someone a 'best friend' devalues your other friends, and ends up with them fighting over who's the best, and getting hurt if they're not. So, no.
Do you have more guy friends or more girl friends? - Girls, because I go to a (insert much annoyance here) girls school. Despite the fact there aren't half enough geek girls and I get on much much better with boys.
Have you ever stolen a friends boyfriend/girlfriend? - Why would I want to?

-FAMILY-
Do you like your parents? - Yup. My parents are the bestest.
Ever run away from home? - Only when late for the train :)
Ever thought about it? - Only when running hypothetical scenarios to try and estimate my chances of survival in each, in the hope of finding some story material so I could get to sleep.
Do you have any siblings? - Thankfully, no. If I ever had, I'd prolly be guilty of murder.
Do you feel your parents spoil you? - Absolutely rotten.
Do you not get along with any of your family? - How wide are you casting 'family'? And I don't really *hate* any of my relations - I can stand being around them just as much as I can stand being around any group of normal people (which is to say, not very long).
Do you have big family get togethers ever? - Yes. They're a good chance to catch up on some sleep, if I can't manage to escape to a room with a computer.

Maybe more later.
