Questionnaire

So I'm buying a flat. And I'm so wound up by arguing with my mum about my house-buying that I've decided to answer a silly web questionnaire I found on The Lex's blog instead of working.

1. FIRST NAME?
Kate. Well, Katharine, really.

2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Some television actress my dad had a crush on.

3. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
Every single time I see one.

4. WHICH FINGER IS YOUR FAVORITE?
My little finger, because people tell me it makes me look posh when it sticks out uncontrollably.

5. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?
About ten minutes ago, after having a transatlantic telephone row with my mum.

6. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Yes, I have quite elegant handwriting (when I can be bothered).

7. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
I don't eat meat. Hummus.

8. ANY BAD HABITS?
Overeating.

9. WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON THE SHELF?
Any one released by my old band.

10. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I think I'd go on my own psychogeographical walking tours, that's for sure.

11. HAVE YOU EVER TOLD A SECRET YOU SWORE NOT TO TELL?
Yes, once, while extremely drunk. I thought it was for the good of both parties, and in the long term, it was, but in the short term it was horrible.

12. DO LOOKS MATTER?
Only if they're not mine.

13. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
Shouting. And bashing the stresspig against my head.

14. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?!
My office.

15. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?
No

16. WAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
Lite Brite. I loved the clear plastic coloured pegs. Even long after the Lite Brite was not of this earth, I kept the pegs and played with them, pretending they were currency to be exchanged. Years later, I had a boyfriend who made conceptual art out of Lite Brites. I wonder what happened to him...

17. WHAT CLASS IN SCHOOL DO YOU THINK IS TOTALLY USELESS?
Sport.

18. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL?
I have a diary.

19. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Nooooooo...

20. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
Yes, at hardcore shows at the VFW in the mid 80s. It was very cathartic. I broke my foot slam dancing in sandals.

21. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
Good hair and a pointy nose.

22. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
None that anyone would dare call me to my face.

23. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
God no.

24. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Of course. Unless I'm wearing shoes with buckles on them.

25. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE STRONG POINTS?
My breasts are quite pointed.

26. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
Mint chocolate chip.

28. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?
Cobalt blue.

29. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?
I've no idea. Haven't been to a dentist in 18 years and counting.

30. WHO DO YOU MISS MOST RIGHT NOW?
Kaliflwr, my former housemate and oldest friend in NYC.

31. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
It would be nice if my bandmates did.

33. LAST THING YOU ATE?
A banana.

34. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
My mum, in that transatlantic row mentioned above.

35. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN a guy/girl
Hair. I am so shallow.

36. DO YOU LOVE THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS?
Lex? I positively ADORE him!

37. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Nervous and a bit wound up by all this house-buying stuff.

38. FAVORITE DRINK?
I can't drink alcohol at the moment, so chococcino.

40. Favorite sport?
I morally disapprove of sport.

42. EYE COLOR?
Green.

43. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
God no. My glasses are my trademark.

44. SIBLINGS?
One biological brother; but he's mad. And then there's Dare, who is my Secret Psychic Twin because we were born on the same day.

45. FAVORITE MONTH?
October. Which is odd because it was a bit rubbish this year.

46. FAVORITE FOOD?
Pizza, sag paneer, chocolate.

47. LAST SHOW YOU WATCHED?
Grand Designs? I watch a lot of TV but I can seldom remember it afterwards.

48. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
The 22nd of November. It's, like, international conspiracy theorist's day or something.

49. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?
No. But they never say yes.

50. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Winter. Big sweaters and tweed jackets and boots... autumn is even better, though.

51. HUGS OR KISSES?
DON'T SQUEEZE ME!!!

52. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS?
Errrr... I can't remember. I can't really be bothered with one night stands any more. But then again, getting *into* a relationship in the first place is an even bigger bother, isn't it?

Blimey. I feel a lot better now. I enjoy filling out questionnaires. Why can't be psychological evalutions be more like this, and less like... well, psychological evaluations?
