TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name: michael, and mildly proud of it
Birthday: 8th March (same day as gaz from supergrass, who if we're being honest were a very good band)
Birthplace: watford, bit unnerving but could be a lot worse i suppose
Current Location: watford-ish
Eye Color: varying shades of brown
Hair Color: ditto
Height: 6"4'
Right Handed or Left Handed: very much right handed
Your Heritage: no idea. which i'm sure means none
The Shoes You Wore Today: trainers, they're lacoste i think. i'd look but my desk is in the way
Your Weakness: an unerring inability to say no to anyone. especially when they're holding tea
Your Fears: clowns, the real world (not the tv show, although i've never watched it so who knows) and big spiders (by big i mean anything large enough to be seen by the naked eye)
Your Perfect Pizza: deep crust, loads of chewy cheese (the kind that doesn't actually taste anything like cheese) - lots of interesting meats that still manage to essentially taste the same. oh and no pineapple.(it's fruit and therefore, quite clearly, wrong)
Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: can't think of one although i do like annoying people with the nudge thing
Thoughts First Waking Up: if i don't open my eyes then that didn't just happened or how can i get back to sleep. short of that, then damnit
Your Best Physical Feature: hmm...eyes. probably
Your Bedtime: don't need an excuse like bedtime to sleep, getting very good at sleeping in the afternoon
Your Most Missed Memory: smoky bacon monster munch! why does no one else remember them - i refuse to live in a world where they never existed!
Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi, its fruitier. honestly! (not sure why i'm using so many exclamation marks, not usually this excitable)
MacDonalds or Burger King: don't do either. not out of some misguided anti-capitalist principle, it's just they both taste like shit and always make me feel likewise (sure you don't spell mcdonalds like that, oh maybe you do cos that doesn't look right either. ah, there's never one around when you need one)
Single or Group Dates: single, you can lie a lot easier. not in a bad way, just quite fun to see what some people will believe. god that sounds bad
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: haven't tried either, although they both sound pretty wank. going for lipton cos it features the word tea. that, and nestea sounds like some kind of disease
Chocolate or Vanilla: can't i have that one with the three colours then i could have both. and strawberry. if not, chocolate. with chocolate bits in
Cappuccino or Coffee: since when did capuccino stop being coffee?
Do you Smoke: yes, very much so
Do you Swear: uhhuh, and i'm getting very good at it
Do you Sing: i can hold a tune
Do you Shower Daily: that's mostly a yes
Have you Been in Love: not recently. well, except tasha, but then she doesn't believe me so....
Do you want to go to College: again? sure
Do you want to get Married: sure why not, no one rubbish though
Do you belive in yourself: belive? surely you mean believe. still...why would i do something silly like that?
Do you get Motion Sickness: i sometimes get a head rush if i stand up really quickly
Do you think you are Attractive: i have my moments. seem to look a lot better when i'm completely wasted. a certain junkie cool, if you will
Are you a Health Freak: never been to a gym in my life, except once when i wandered into the school one by mistake. i was going to the school at the time. it wasn't that kind of mistake
Do you like Thunderstorms: generally yes, but the one at glastonbury sucked so if i'm indoors and it doesn't affect me then yes i do. they're pretty though and always quite impressive. like trees
Do you play an Instrument: yes!, not sure why i'm excited by that but yes, the geetar. although, not exactly hendrix
In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: that's very much a yes. what's with the random use of capital letters. when did drank require a capital D?
In the past month have you Smoked: thats even more of a yes, although i am smoking shitey menthols cos i'm ill. they're menthol so they must be good for you. similarly i tend to avoid shots that are referred to by a name that is not the main ingredient or are oddly coloured but black aftershock tastes of benylin so it must be good for you
In the past month have you been on Drugs: apparently that's why i'm always ill. i blame the germs though. little bastards
In the past month have you gone on a Date: no, i'm quite good at avoiding them. although, actually that might be a yes. i wasn't sure and didn't like to ask but i've been on ones before and i did get that impression
In the past month have you gone to a Mall: no, living in england, we have shopping centres. so yes i have been to one of those
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: no! but its now officially the next thing i'm doing. love oreos
In the past month have you eaten Sushi: no put off by two words. raw and fish. although to be fair its more the raw part. generally i quite like fish. it's kind of like food and poisoning, it's the poisoning part thats doing the damage in that sentence. not sure where i'm going with this. think i'll stop
In the past month have you been Dumped: think i'd remember. so no
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: thats a no, not sure how i feel about that. going with it being a good thing
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: don't think so, although the guy gave me too much change when i bought fags last night, and i kept it. and i slyly didn't say anything. sticking it to the man
Ever been Drunk: god, no! (that's an ironic no in the alanis morisette use of the word ironic which was actually in no way ironic - just a bit unlucky. come to think of it its not even that - just sarcastic. that was a sarcastic no)
Ever been called a Tease: no, my name is michael
Ever been Beaten up: no, and quite proud of it. being tall has its advantages
How do you want to Die: obviously, in as much pain as possible is up there but i'll go for heroically.
What do you want to be when you Grow Up: you. short of that, i'll go for happy. although i'll accept content. happy sounds like more effort.
What country would you most like to Visit: hmm... somewhere in central america. the aztecy bit. and japan. that's two i know but, well this is a quiz that seems to think cappuccino is not the same as coffee
In a Boy/Girl..
Favourite Eye Color: i'd say the darker the better. although as long as they're attractive i don't mind. eyes are my weakness. a girl with beautiful eyes and i'm gone.
Favourite Hair Color: darkish, although seem to end up going out with blondes. maybe thats where i'm going wrong
Short or Long Hair: long. but not stupidly so. so maybe short. but again, not stupidly so. normal kind of length
Height: Tallish, it's just easier
Weight: normal, again, will be fine
Best Clothing Style: erm, sort of arty or like they should be in a band. sort of rocky (not the boxer though, that would be wrong)
Number of CDs I own: how many is loads?
Number of Piercings: no, sorry none. not sure why i'm apologising.
Number of Tattoos: none till i work out what i want - then one. then two etc. sure you know how this adding up/counting thing works
Number of things in my Past I Regret: again, if you can quantify loads then that. otherwise, i'll go with many, possibly most
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!
anything good. i'll listen to anything with a decent melody and a bit of heart. anything but good charlotte who lets be honest as well as being monumentally shite are just busted with tattoos. although, to be fair still not as horrendous as mcfly. so many bands i can't even remember so... babyshambles, the beatles, the black keys, brmc, brendan benson, death cab, dirty pretty things, the distillers, kings of leon, the libertines, nirvana, oasis, pavement, radiohead, the stones, the pistols, the strokes, the velvets, the vines, weezer and the white stripes to name slightly more than a few...
top 10 artists overall...
top songs last week...
top artists last week...
can't even remember the last decent film i saw. greatest film ever made? the usual suspects. by miles. loved fight club, trainspotting, pulp fiction, donnie darko, the big lebowski and whatever else i've forgotten...
very little worth watching on tv but peep show, black books, the sopranos, south park, green wing, alan partridge, garth marenghi and the mighty boosh all deserve a mention.
loads, favourite is glue by irvine welsh along with everything else he's ever produced. anything by chuck palahniuk, hunter s. thompson. 25th hour, join me by danny wallace, are you dave gorman etc., anything with a well designed cover, can't be bothered. loads....
kurt cobain for inspiring me enough to pick up a guitar, thom yorke for being... well, thom yorke, but doesn't he do it well. david carson for providing me with something to aspire towards and enforcing my belief to never let legibility get in the way of good design. and garfield, who encapsulates everything i strive to be admittedly in cartoon orange cat form.
