apollaThought I'd jump on the quiz bandwagon and give you some entertainment in the process hopefully...
wallet: Well, I have this purple tie-dye weave thing that my mum bought for 10p at a car boot sale. But as I tend to just shove money in the back pocket of my jeans, it doesn't get much use anymore.
hairbrush: a battered thing from Boots I've had too long. But it has a handy mirror on the back so I can't lose it. Can't find another one like it.
toothbrush: Some purple Aquafresh thing with a special bendy neck. I don't pay much attention to it. Am far too busy pondering the world's more philosophical questions. Like 'Which one's Ant and which one's Dec?' and 'Who did shoot the Deputy?'
Jewellery worn daily: The Russian wedding ring my dad bought for my 17th birthday (I wanted one since I was about eight and found out Jason Donovan had one. I was young and foolish. The ring is v. nice though) and the titchy gold cross my mum bought me that hangs around my neck. Don't bother wearing earrings much anymore, although I have this faux-American-Indian pair from TopShop and I wear one of them solo occasionally as a shamanic nod to Jim Morrison. :).
socks: Black or grey. Usually trainer socks. Can't be bothered with whimsical socks. Am far too busy pondering the world's more philosophical questions. Like 'Peter O'Toole for Dumbledore?' and 'No really: Legolas or Aragorn?'
pillow cover: I have three pillows at home, two at uni. Have checked lilac cases for them or v. cool dark purple ones that I brought back from California. Or the Tigger set my mum bought last Christmas. Why, I don't know.
blanket: Oh I have one of those separable duvet things but the velcro is shite and they keep falling apart. Have cover to match lilac pillow cases. And I also have a comforter from California to match my dark purple pillowcases. It's cold here at the moment, so I'm wrapped in that.
coffee cup: I don't drink coffee anymore after I pulled an allnighter in the first year and made coffee so strong that I had to stop for forty five minutes for the shaking to subside. I do occasionally drink Frappacinos and stuff. I have a Central Perk Friends mug and a Bronze/Buffy mug both of which are very cool and I drink soup out of them now. That was a terribly long answer for a short question...
sunglasses: Right, I have a pair of Calvin Klein frames with my prescription in bought and paid for by my mum. V. cool. I also have a pair I bought in TJ Maxx in Costa Mesa when I got to California. You remember the jewelled Versace glasses that Gisele kept wearing last year about three seasons ago? They're like them except the jewels are along the sides instead of in a silly heart shape. V. cool.
underwear: see sock answer. Am far too busy pondering the world's more philosophical questions. Like 'DVD or video?' and 'Better Guitarist: Eric Clapton or George Harrison?'
shoes: Size 7 or something. I don't own many pairs as I'm always to be found in my battered black and white Adidas, something that my friends are working hard against. If I'm not wearing them then I'm wearing my black Cuban-heeled boots ala the Beatles. Also have a pair of lime green Converse baseball boots that I wear to wind up my mates. Cannot walk in high heels. Refuse to try.
nail polish: Don't wear it because I don't have the patience to let it dry. Occasionally go through a phase of wearing it- it's the only cosmetic I have any remote skill with. Usually have blue or green or something most people won't wear.
handbag: Don't think I have one. I have my black Nike rucksack thing bought from the Triangle Square in Newport Beach. Ah! Had to use a Body Shop glittery make up bag thing when I went out with my mates. And I wonder why they get frustrated with me. :)
favourite top: My Ireland rugby shirt. Is battered and old but I love it. My mum got it from a car boot sale or something. Wanted to give it to my brother but I commandeered it. Got me into trouble at school with racist nurk PE teachers. Was shouted at in Leicester Sq. Burger King. Don't care. Or it's the Croatian football shirt that used to be my brother's. Or the vintage Spurs shirt. Or my NY Yankees baseball shirt I got in NYC. Or the Beatles Let It Be t-shirt my brother got me for Crimbo last year. Don't know.
favourite pants: Well, my Levi 501s. But they're a little short now and Tasha's on at me to get some flared jeans. Will probably do so soon, but hate shopping for clothes. Would much rather be in HMV.
soap: I have this lavender stuff I bought because it was purple and didn't smell as stupid as the other stuff. But my favourite thing in related news is Body Shop Olive body butter. My one concession to girliness, I guess.
perfume: Well, I own stacks of Tommy Girl thanks to my mum. Hate the stuff. Reminds me immediately of those old parties in the Sixth form. Want to wear Chanel No. 5 just like Marilyn Monroe. Not very me, I'll grant you, but I don't care.
cd in stereo right now: One I burned myself. Thin Lizzy, Stones, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Marianne Faithfull, Van Morrison, Travelling Wilburys. But I'm listening to a long playlist on the computer. Billy Bragg, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Cliff, Ian Dury. V. weird collection.
car: Don't have one. Need a licence first. Have failed in my attepts to procure one four times. If I had a car and money was no real object, I would like a Mini like in The Italian Job. Not one of those new minis. And an old Rolls Royce painted purple to piss off the establishment.
tattoos: None. I have no desire to battle my mother on this while I still live under her roof. Besides, I'd get bored of it.
piercings: One in each ear, usually both vacant except for when I'm feeling shamanic.
physical: No idea. Am shorter than everyone except Tasha. Possibly around 5'3 or 4. No idea. Currently have dark red hair that everyone seems to like lots more than when I had it bright red. Except me, of course. Am skinny runt becoming not so skinny due to large amounts of crisps. Don't really care. I have blue eyes and a smirk. Also have ridiculous Cockney accent that I should've lost after spending most of my life in Hertfordshire. Sometimes gets a bit posher when on the phone or when talking to posh people. Is that a physical thing? Don't know. I don't pay much attention to physical stuff. Am far too busy pondering the world's more philosophical questions. Like 'Popstars and Pop Idol: Curse of the Modern World?' and 'No really: Legolas or Aragorn?'
Hee hee hee. Enjoyed that quite a bit. Has actually snowed here in the Home Counties and am very cold. Only Led Zeppelin are sustaining me.
