------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIBE YOUR..
[ x ] Wallet ? I don't really have one- I just shove stuff in my pockets.
[ x ] Hairbrush ? Practically broken. Has a mirror on the back.
[ x ] Toothbrush ? Purple aquafresh thing.
[ x ] Jewelry worn daily ? The cross my mama gave me and the Russian wedding ring I begged for for ten years (Jason Donovan had one. I was 7, give me a break) and my dad bought for my seventeenth birthday. And today, a celtic talisman my godfather gave me a couple of Christmases ago.
[ x ] Pillow cover ? Both purple.
[ x ] Blanket ? Michael Jackson's son. Oh, sorry... Also purple.
[ x ] Coffee cup ? A 'The Bronze' mug. Buffy merchandise purchased in LA.
[ x ] Sunglasses ? Prescription. Calvin Klein frames. Tee hee.
[ x ] Underwear ? Wouldn't you like to know?
[ x ] Favorite shirt ? My Ireland rugby shirt.
[ x ] Cologne/Perfume ? A ton of Tommy Girl my mum bought and which I hate. Hence why there's still a ton of the stuff.
[ x ] CD in stereo right now ? Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin.
[ x ] Tattoos ? Niente. I value my health too much. Not that tattooing is necessarily unhygenic- I'm thinking of me mam's reaction.
[ x ] Piercings ? My ears. Have no earrings to shove in at the moment.
[ x ] What you are wearing now ? Khakis that are too short and a UC Irvine sweatshirt. Need to do laundry later. And a pair of cuban heeled boots.
[ x ] In my mouth ? Am drinking Diet Coke. Big surprise there.
[ x ] In my head ? Ponderous questions of the universe. That's a lie, I'm singing along with The Crunge. Have you seen the bridge?
[ x ] Wishing - I was making movies. Wishing that Jim Morrison's death really was faked. Wishing that I didn't have to go and help my friend type her essay later.
[ x ] After this - Not much. Go to Loz's and type her essay for her.
[ x ] Fetishes ? None.
[ x ] If you could get away with it and murder anyone, and for what reason ? Well, I don't even want to kill Mark Chapman, so I don't think there's anyone I would risk getting into heaven to kill. I'll leave the murder to GWB.
[ x ] Person you wish you could see right now ? John Lennon. And actually, the Princess- she's home until Tuesday.
[ x ] Is next to you ? A stack of CDs.
[ x ] Some of your favorite movies ? Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, The Adventures of Robin Hood, the Adventures of Robin Hood, Die Hard, Some Like it Hot, A Hard Day's Night, Singin In The Rain, Gilda, Bhowani Junction, Ocean's Eleven (the old one), Cleopatra (Burton & Taylor, the Wild Geese, Take me out to the Ball Game, Gangs of New York, The Wild One, Rebel Without A Cause, Mildred Pierce, I could go on....
[ x ] Something you're looking forward to in the upcoming month ? Not much.
[ x ] The last thing you ate ? packet of crisps.
[ x ] Something that you are deathly afraid of ? I'm not afraid of dying. After that the world seems a lot less scary.
[ x ] Do you like candles - Can live without them. See, there's this new thing called electricity....
[ x ] Do you like incense ? Only if I'm in the mood for a lasting, painful headache.
[ x ] Do you like the taste of blood ? Can't imagine I'd enjoy drinking a pint of the stuff. I'm not Angel.
[ x ] Do you believe in love - Why not. Seems a good theory.
[ x ] Do you believe in soul mates - Yes. Buff, Angel. Nuff said. Fuck off Spike & Cordelia. Go back to being funny instead of vomit-inducing.
[ x ] Do you believe in love at first sight - Yes. Why the hell not?
[ x ] Do you believe in Heaven ? Yep. Errol and Dean are propping up the bar until I get there. Hopefully not too soon.
[ x ] Do you believe in God - Yes. But I don't think he goes much on all of us at the moment. Seriously, I believe that there's one god and all the religions are praying to the same one. They're just taking different paths to him, that's all.
[ x ] What do you want done with your body when you die - Not sure. I won't need it anymore. Buried on a mountaintop in Ireland maybe.
[ x ] Who is your worst enemy ? With a me like me, who needs enemies?
[ x ] If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be ? A sabre-toothed tiger. Although someone told me that they're extinct.
[ x ] What is the latest you've ever stayed up ? Well, I've done three and a half days without sleep at all. I've done about a week with only a couple of hours sleep. I'm working on getting to Keith Richards' record of about fifty days, but I want to do it without chemical help....
[ x ] Can you eat with chopsticks - I love my special fried rice, but I need a fork.
[ x ] What's your favorite coin ? The old fifty pence coin. Found one the other day. It's huge.
[ x ] What are some of your favorite candies ? Cadbury's Dream egg. Creme Eggs, white Aero.
[ x ] What's something that you wish people would understand ? That J.Lo is devoid of talent.
[ x ] What's something you wish you could understand better ? Irish Gaelic.
[ x ] Who is someone that you really wish was still around ? Ah, this is the question... Jim Morrison. Errol Flynn. Dean Martin. I think if my beloved Mr Lennon was still around the world would be a greatly better place. And yet despite all of the pictures on the wall, despite the deep wish I have that Jim really did fake it, I think I'd still come right back to a lady called Anne. Her granddaughter wants a hug.

Date: 2003-02-16 09:54 (UTC)I want to taste those crisps!
I'll have to listen more to Dean Martin. Is it that his voice is richer? For those kinds of voices, it had to simulate hot fudge syrup melting ice cream for me to know it's "the one".
The thing about John Lennon. Wish we could talk about this sometime.
Great answers! Loved reading this!

As for my Dino- I always liken it to extra-virgin olive oil, but 'hot fudge syrup melting ice cream' is also spot on. Without wanting to get too poetical, Dean makes me laugh, makes me cry and taught me what love is and can be.
Speak to you soon maybe,
Clare.

*howls laughing* I actually laughed out loud. Am cackling away in my room like a madman. You always know how to make me laugh, and I thank you for it.
And Ronnie Barker! That brings back memories. I still remember a skit on the Two Ronnies with them dressed as barmaids singing about lovely jugs. *laughs some more*

Ah, DM... and Penfold (Oooo crumbs!)... although I remember one episode where they had a fake/robotic Penfold who said "Oooh crumbs" so much that at the time (I was 9 or 10) I thought he was saying "Bull crap! Bull crap!"
Cheers,
Dan
