(no subject)
In the grand tradition of wasting cancelled PE lessons, I'm going to start a survey, just because I've filled in so much rubbish. It's very loosely based on the one Naath just did and I did a bit of.
So:
~*Egotism*~
What's the name you least like being called (that you sometimes get called)? - Julia (from Cassia Julia Caeser Draconia) - it's my *mother's* name, not mine!
How old are you physically? (ache like a granny? bounce like a toddler?) - About 60, I think, according to the amount of stuff that's gone wrong with this lump of meat and how tired I am all the time.
What colour do you like the least? - Hmm, this is a close call between red and green. I really dislike red clothes, for no apparent reason, but green is - well, it's linked to greenriders, and to grass and trees and all that *outside* stuff, and there's just so much of the wretched stuff it ceases to be pretty...
~*Extroversion*~
Is there anyone you just can't stand at all, and if so why? - I don't think there is anyone atm that I particularly can't stand, although I'm fairly misanthropic in general.
What kind of coercion would tempt you to go to a 'party' (by that I mean a room/house full of people you either don't know or don't particularly like, where they play bad music and try and pretend to have a good time by drinking too much)? - Wanting to apologise to and make up with the organiser. Apart from that, sedation and transport.
Define 'friend': - Someone who knows your strengths and your weaknesses, who cares about you, and who you enjoy being around.
~*Family*~
Do you have a really weird relation, and if so why are they so weird? - One of my relations hasn't left his room for, oh, over ten years now...
Would you be happy to spend a weekend sleeping in the same room as your parents? - *points at the weekend in Paris she just had lots of fun during*
Have you ever seriously considered (i.e. planned) the murder of a sibling? - Yup, and I don't even *have* any.
~*Fighting*~
When was the last time you got in a fight? - Depends how you define 'fight'. Less than an hour ago, if you define 'trying to tap someone's nose while not letting them tap yours, without either party getting hurt' as a fight. A few days if you count clawing someone who's starting to annoy you. Long enough for me to not really remember how long, if you're only counting a no-holds-barred trying-to-pin-the-other-person-while-trying-not-to-be-strangled fight. I have, however, never been punched 'properly' (i.e. not counting entirely ineffective girly punches).
What's the worst you've been injured in a fight? - Big bruise and teeth marks. She wouldn't listen when I insisted biting was cheating...
That you started, or agreed to, or otherwise consciously encouraged? - Uh, ditto.
~*Songies*~
What kind of music can you really not stand? - Rap. Really really fast rap full of words that make you very suspicious about the rest of the lyrics. And dance music - how increadibly boring!
Does anyone else in the world think you can sing? - Only ppl who haven't heard much, or whose judgement on music I don't particularly trust.
How much space on your HD is taken up with MP3s? - Must be over 3GB by now - it was 2.88GB then I ripped about 5 more CDs... well, it saves me the journey downstairs to get them, and being nagged about not putting them back... and now my dad's working on ripping all his old vinyl LPs so he can burn them on CD to play in the car, so more soon.
~*Woerten*~
How many spoken languages have you learnt some of, and how well do you know each? - I claim to know English, I'm rapidly forgetting all the German I ever knew (which is a shame 'cos I like the language except for the gender thing and I once could even think in it), once upon a time the school attempted to make me learn French, and speaking Latin is what the Universal Translator is for.
What about computer langauges? - BASIC, back from when I was 5 and working on my ZX Spectrum; C, which is probably what I'm most fluent in atm (just started to learn a bit of C++); Python I know some of the basic syntax; Inform I knew very well once but am now rather rusty on; I've confused myself by reading LISP tutorials.
~*Metaness*~
Do you cheat on Internet quizzes to get the response you want? - Only when I've done it properly once, to see how well I can guess what they want for each one.
Why do you fill in surveys? - Because I don't have far too much time on my hands, so I use them to procrastinate all the stuff I really oughta be doing.
What ought you be doing right now instead of filling this in? - Probably some Maths homework of some description - or some revision, even. (*watches everyone run away screaming*) A PE lesson, but that was cancelled. Learning C++. Writing my timetabler program. Sleeping. Compiling my Case List for Law and learning it. Engineering research (esp reading the standard thing I was meant to have read by this lunchtime, which is kinda now - oops). Going to an Engineering meeting. I think I'll be doing that last one now.
