OMG a quiz! (The A-Z of Me)
So I saw this on Melissa's LJ, I figured I'd take it on, with a little bit of a modification to make it more exciting.




The Letter A
Are you available?: Yes.
What is your age?: 22 years and two weeks.
What annoys you?: Irrationality and illogicality - a lot of misdeeds wouldn't happen if people stopped for a moment and reasoned.



The Letter B
Do you live in a big house?: It's largish for two people and has a fairly large lounge room.
When is your birthday?: 25th of February. I don't ever remember getting an elephant badge for my birthday :(



The Letter C
What's your favorite candy?: Mint flavoured stuff, like minties or XXX mints.
When was the last time you cried?: Can't actually remember, it would have been a long time ago probably.




The Letter D
Do you daydream?: In lectures I sometimes start thinking of other stuff. I dunno if it's daydreaming, but it's certainly not relevant to what I am learning.
What's your favorite kind of dog?: My two cute little doggies.
What day of the week is it?: Sunday.



The Letter E
How do you like your eggs?: As eggs benedict, with bacon instead of salmon, though salmon works as well but is more expensive.
Have you ever been in the emergency room?: No, I don't think so. I think I got stitched in my head at a GP.
What's the easiest thing ever to do?: This is an odd question. It is easy to breathe, and eat icecream. I also enjoy just chilling and chatting with friends.



The Letter F
Have you ever flown in a plane?: A wise woman once said, "Yes, and it's still very exciting to me." I agree very much - I still get a little giddy whenever I fly but I look all calm and collected on the outside, though I usually grin like a madman during takeoff and landing.
Do you use fly swatters?: No, I just keep the screens closed and food away.



The Letter G
Do you chew gum?: No, I prefer a mint over gum.
Are you a giver or a taker?: I consider myself to give out more (help, loaning of stuff etc) generally than I take in.
Do you like gummy candies?: Yes, if they're soft and chewy.



The Letter H
How are you?: Hot. Goddamned it's hot. According to a little research it is the hottest day since 14:25, 14 December 2004.
What's your height?: 165/170/175 I dunno. I don't measure myself.
What color is your hair?: Brown



The Letter I
What's your favorite ice cream?: Chocolate or caramel. If there was a raspberry icecream, that would probably win.
Have you ever ice skated?: "No! Does anyone want to take me?" Sure. Days like this one make me just want to fall over onto ice and never get up.
Do you play an instrument?: Trumpet, badly.



The Letter J
What's your favorite jelly bean?: Red. Sweet, sweet sugar.
Have you ever heard a really hilarious joke?: My uncle told me a pretty funny one about making a duck-caller from a bottlecap. You go through a whole heap of random actions on the bottle cap (flicking it, bending it, knocking it on the table etc to do certain things to it) and then you hold it up to your mouth and talk like an air traffic controller and say "Calling all ducks, calling all ducks". Works well when you're drinking (obviously) but now I've ruined it for anyone who reads this.



The Letter K
Who do you want to kill?: Nobody. I think there's nothing to be gained from it, except revenge which is the shallowest of all reasons for justice.
Do you want kids?: Eventually. I've been told I'd make a good father. I want to teach them justice and rationality and how to be good kids.
Where did you have kindergarten?: Here - I went there because it was a full day kindy/pre-school as opposed to Walkerston which was apparently half day.



The Letter L
Are you laid back?: I try to be, and I definitely think I've made gains in this respect in the last few years.
Do you lie?: Generally no. I try to avoid getting into circumstances where I have to lie.




The Letter M
Whats your favorite movie?: Lots. Latest movie I watched that I liked was Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Do you still watch Disney movies?: No.
Do you like mangos?: Not especially, no. I find them to be too sweet and not really for me.




The Letter N
Do you have a nickname?: G, G-Man, bilious, bili (billy). There was someone at college who earnestly believed bilious was my surname, and my friends tend to call me 'bili' in public. They actually had the staff at Hog's Breath sing "Happy birthday Billy" on my birthday.
What's your favorite number?: 1 is a pretty cool number. It's special, it's also not prime.
Do you prefer night over day?: Day because nights are increasingly boring.



The Letter O
What's your one wish?: Big bags of money.
Are you an only child?: No, I have three brothers; one younger and two older.
Do you wish this was over?: Meh, I'm not doing much otherwise. Though I am editing it in notepad, so it's very boring. Maybe I should put pictures into it or something so that you don't lose your place.
Do you have at least one fear?: I should put something ridiculous in here so that a future stalker finds it and then like, tries to scare me somehow by trying to be dramatic and going, "So, Greg, I have a few ... COTTON BALLS! HAHAHAHA YOU'RE SO SCARED!" And I'd be like "What?" and s/he'd be like "Ah, damn I read that on your livejournal. Next time, Gadget. Next time."



The Letter P
What's a personality trait you look for in the opposite sex?: Intelligence, reason, unassumingness.
Do you prefer pencils or pens?: Pens.



The Letter Q
Are you quick to judge people?: Not really, I know you sort of need a little bit of time to judge people. On the street, etc you might need to make quick decisions though, so I might in that way.



The Letter R
Do you think you're always right?: I generally feel confident about the things I say, and unless it's of some importance (like, if we're driving in the right direction) or I am totally sure that I am right, I won't actually push the matter.
Do you watch reality TV?: Negative. I prefer engrossing TV shows like Lost and House.



The Letter S
Do you prefer sun or rain?: Rain. It's just so, cooling and refreshing.
Do you like snow?: Yes, I do.
What's your favorite season?: Winter; I really like coldness. And when I get sick of it, it's hard to cool down in summer, but easy to warm up in winter.



The Letter T
What time is it?: 15:59
What time did you wake?: 9:12am
When was the last time you slept in a tent?: Wow. A long time ago. Probably camping at Eungella mid-2004?



The Letter U
Are you wearing underwear?: Yes.
Underwear or boxers?: Presumbly it means "briefs" or boxers, since boxershorts are actually underwear. However, I wear boxers to bed, and briefs during the day.



The Letter V
What's the worst veggie?: Whichever crazy vegetable in Chinese soups that have bitter flavour when you catch a bit of it.
Where do you want to go on vacation?: THE MOON. But on Earth, China probably.
Where was your last family vacation to?: A long time ago, probably to Cardwell in 2003?



The Letter W
What's your worst habit?: Procrastination.
Where do you live?: Brisbane, Australia.



The Letter X
Have you ever had an x-ray?: The only x-ray I've ever had has been of my teeth for a cavity.
Have you seen the X Games?: If it's the games where people ride BMX bikes and hurt their backs, probably seen it in passing on TV.
Do you own a xylophone?: I am sure there's a xylophinist (that is an odd word, try saying it like zy-loff-in-ist) out there chomping at the bit to answer this question.



The Letter Y
Do you like the color yellow?: Not really.
Whats one thing you yearn for?: For excitement!



The Letter Z
What's your zodiac sign?: Pisces, though zodiacs are dumb. (see below)
Do you believe in the zodiac?: No, not really. The idea that 1/12th the world will share the same "Talk to your boss or business partner today to open lines of communication. Watch your money today, because a financial decision will arise that will require your attention. Take this opportunity to reconnect with your lover, or to be open to advances if you're single." Seriously, that's what it says EVERY DAY. For some people, I am sure it's reassuring to have someone pat them on the head and give them a little bit of sagely-sounding but ultimately hollow and generic advice as they run off to the bus in the morning. It's sort of like your mother telling you that she loves you and to wear clean underwear because she has nothing else to say.

I'll have you know I spent many minutes going through my feel-good photos folder for those pictures.

The contents of your feel good folder are remarkably similar to the contents of my "cute photos of animals" folder. Cuteoverload?
I love that photo of the stacked German Shepherds, Hahahaha

B) The teacher gave me an elephant badge because I'd struggled to remember my birthday for weeks. Everyone else memorized their birthdays really quickly. But I was being dumb and took forever to do it. So she took pity and gave me a badge when I finally cracked it. HOW EMBARRASSING.

H) Yes, it's very, very hot today. Awfully hot.

I) I know where to find delicious raspberry gelato! Does that count?
