karaokegal, this is a particularly long meme filled with yet more stuff you probably didn't care to know about me.
I'm tired of:
feeling like I do most of the time.
I'm listening to:
Last.fm. It's just shuffled to "Generator", by The Holloways, which is guaranteed to make me feel better every single time I hear it, no matter how miserable I was feeling before it started. It's like an aural tonic.
Maybe I should:
Clean up the house a bit before I go away for a few days rather than sitting on my arse and pissing about on the internet.
Chocolate is:
Stupidly addictive, I'm coming to realise. I've always been able to take or leave it, but the more often I eat it, the more I want it. I'd still pass it over for a good sandwich, though.
I last ate:
A bowl of pasta with smoked paprika sauce, cobbled together with random storecupboard ingredients. We don't have anything in right now, due to the whole going away thing mentioned above.
The meaning of my username is:
Just what it says, really. I was originally looking to register as smutmonkey, but that was taken. So I took a number of words for being dirty and some for a type of creature, and came up with this one.
Right now I'm craving:
A cuddle.
I will always remember:
They lyrics of just about every song I've ever heard. I only need to hear it once. Stupid tape recorder brain.
Love:
is something I never hesitate to give, but am very suspicious of receiving.
Yesterday:
Was a public holiday, and spent mostly in pleasant unproductiveness.
Today:
I've had such awful cramps that I fidgeted all the way through my day-long meeting and had to clench my teeth shut to stop myself from uttering sounds of discomfort.
Tomorrow:
I have a meeting that I've been dreading, followed by a five hour schlep to North Wales to stay in a hotel on my own.
QUESTIONS.
Is your hair wet?
Nope.
Is your cell phone right by you?
Yep. I can't take my eyes off it, or stop fiddling with it. Preeeetty new iPhone *strokes*
Do you miss someone?
Not as such. There's a couple of people I've not seen in too long. Likeminlliw, and Simon.
Are you wearing Chapstick?
Not at the moment
Are you tired?
Yes.
Are you wearing pyjamas?
I'm wearing sweats, but I plan to sleep in them later
Are you mad?
If this means in the mental health sense, then I am to a certain degree, but less than I have been in recent times. If it's meant in the sense of angry, then no.
Are you upset?
I was a little tearful earlier. I've had painkillers and food since. I'm less so now.
LASTS.
Last beverage?
Chang beer
Last hug?
Mr G, before he left for London about an hour and a half ago.
Last text?
From Colin this morning "Right you are darling, thanks for the update" - I sent him my new number.
Last phone call?
Called Mr G as I was leaving Swansea to say I was on my way home.
HAVE YOU EVER?
Dated someone twice?
No, actually. I never really did dates as such. The only guy I ever actually proper went on a date with I only went out with once. It ended badly.
Been cheated on?
Yes.
Been overseas?
Plenty.
Lost someone close?
Both grandmothers. Never knew my grandfathers.
Been drunk and thrown up?
Too many times lately, which is why I've mostly scaled back on my drinking a whole lot. I haven't even drunk to what I'd call excess, but I don't seem to tolerate it all that well any more.
IN THE PAST MONTH HAVE YOU
Made a new friend?
I think I have. Someone I'd have previously called an acquaintance has taken me into his confidence. It actually feels really good.
Laughed until you almost cried?
And beyond. Edinburgh Fringe Festival is a fantastic workout for your abs; terrible for your crow's feet.
Met someone who changed your life?
Yes. I was only just a few minutes ago lamenting that I can't see him any more.
Is there something you want to tell someone?
Not really.
Held hands with the boy/girl you like?
Both.
Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?
Yes. And then rubbed it on my tits. That usually does the trick.
What's the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated?
I've kissed a guy that was old enough to be my dad, but I don't know exactly how old he was.
Have you ever been on a blind date?
No.
Are looks important?
It depends. I tend to make quick first impressions.
Do you have any friends that you've known for 10 years or more?
Yes.
By what age would you like to be married?
I was 24 when I got married.
Does the number of people a person's slept with affect your view of them?
Not in the slightest. Though I might be suspicious of people who do nothing but boast about the number of people they've slept with.
Have you ever made a mistake?
Not in the last five minutes...
Are you a good tipper?
I think so.
What's the most you have spent for a haircut?
Not a clue.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?
Not really, no. Not when I was at school; not since.
Have you ever peed in public?
That makes me think in the middle of a street, and I've never done that. I've peed in the bushes whilst out walking up mountains on many occasions.
What song do you want played at your funeral?
The Holloways' "Generator", as mentioned above. Just to remind everyone that there's worse things in life than death with a cheerful refrain.
Would you tell your parents if you were gay?
I don't know. I wouldn't deliberately keep it from them, but I have an awkward, complicated relationship with them.
What would your last meal be before getting executed?
I'm not sure I'd feel much like eating before being killed. And I don't really have a favourite food as such.
Beatles or Stones?
No strong view either way. Depends on my mood.
If you had to pick one person on earth to die, who?
I don't think I would wish anyone dead. I don't think I could.
Beer, wine or hard liquor?
I'm currently drinking beer; I'm currently going through a Pinot Grigio phase thanks tolicklepickle, but my default drink is vodka and slimline tonic.
Do you have any phobias?
Butterflies and moths.
What are your plans for the future?
I have no idea.
Do you walk around the house naked?
Not really.
If you were an animal what would you be?
A cat. I'm more of a dog person, but cats have it soooo easy.
Hair color you like on someone you're dating?
No preference. Though I tend to fancy more brunette women than blondes. For guys I'd prefer not ginger. Though I'd make an exception for Simon Pegg.
Would you rather be blind or deaf?
I couldn't live in a world without music.
Do you have any special talents?
Not really.
What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?
Put my bag on the dining table.
Do you like horror or comedy?:
Comedy. Stand-up preferably, then TV shows. There aren't many comedy films I'd seek out, though I like some of the Will Ferrell movies for a bit of light relief.
Where do you want to live when you are old?
Not a clue.
Who is the person you can count on the most?
Mr G is always there for me, whatever happens. But I'm very fortunate to have a group of awesome friends who will be there for me through just about anything.
What did you dream last night?
If there was a dream, I don't remember what it was.
What is your favorite sport to watch?
None of them?
Are you named after anyone?
Not specifically. My name is the Greek word for "life", and after my parents named me and brought me back from the hospital they found out that the two-doors-down neighbours had given their dog the same name.
What is your favorite alcoholic drink?
Caipirina.
Non alcoholic drink?
Starbucks skinny decaf caramel macchiato.
Have you ever been in love?
Yes. Still am. Still falling in love with things and people with breath-taking regularity.
Do you sing in the shower?
No.
Have you ever been arrested?
Yes.
What is your favorite holiday?
The one we normally have in December. It's always to somewhere hot.
Would you ever get plastic surgery?
Nope. Although I'm probably a prime candidate for all sorts, I'm too much of a wuss.
Have you ever caught a fish?
Nope. Never been fishing.
