Good idea for a post.... :tu:


1. What’s the first thing you do each morning on waking?

I normally look at the alarm clock and think I am so tied I wish I could go back to sleep again.

2. What is the oldest item of clothing you still wear?

I do buy new clothes but I have some T-shirts I still like from many years ago.

3. What is your most annoying habit?

Before I leave the house I am constantly checking over and over again that I have turned the heater off, turned off the plugs, set the alarm, etc.
I always think I've forgotten something.

4. Choose three people, dead or alive, to invite to dinner.

Celebrities arent that important to me so probably some members of my family that have died so that I could see them again.

5. Do you believe in love at first sight?

I think you can be attracted to someone at first sight but I think you really have to go out with them to really see if you actually love each other.

6. What was the first book or cd/record that you remember buying?

I'm not into books, much more into my music.
This started with Michael Jackson's Thriller and has now grown into a love for electronic music, experimental, and ambient music.

7. Do you sing in the bath, if so what?

No, Never.

8. Who, or what, do you hate?

Don't even get me started on that question...... Many things..... people who are inconsiderate, people with no manners, war, racism, people who drop litter, buses that never come on time, liers, etc...

9. If you could be anyone else, who would you be?

I think everyone would want to be someone else at one point but at the end of the day we have to be happy witth who we are and make the most out of life.

10. What would you like to be your epitaph?

I have no idea what I'd have. I just hope it is a nice message.
