Anything health related.. lol. I'll watch documentaries on extraordinary people and history related things. And I love comedies. :D
Views on the world (semi-serious questions)
What do you think of politics? Well politics affects everything and everyone. Although I still hold the naive concept that one person can change the world. In reality... there's not much an individual CAN do but I like to know what's going on and if we all get together then we CAN change the world :P I believe in Making Poverty History. I'm for the environment. And I'm for fairness and lower taxes!!!
What do you think of President Bush? Moron, or greatest President ever? Erm isn't President Bush a bit of an idiot? Well... I've analysed his handwriting and I think he truly believes in what he is doing is right. So yeh.
What do you think of the war in Iraq? Brilliant effort by a great leader, or waste of life, time and tax dollars? I think that Saddam Hussein made life pretty darn awful. I've heard personal accounts from people I know who's families and friends have been affected... young children seen their parents killed in front of their eyes on their own front yard... I think war in general is a necessary evil sometimes. It is the way it is carried out that becomes the issue. When and how and how long for.. and the after effects. I think we should spend more time and money helping people than killing them.
If the draft was implemented, and you were summoned, what would you do? Erm I don't think that counts for me. But if it did.. I would respect it and do my duty for my country.
What do you think is the worst problem the world is currently facing? Obesity. No seriously... poverty. People shouldn't be suffering and dying due to malnutrition. It's not necessary and it's pretty simple to 'fix'.
Do you like answering these types of questions? Yeh if I'm in the right mood and not really doing much else important.
Relationships
What do you look for in the opposite sex? I don't look for anything. They have to be perfect in every way.
What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? They're male.. and i'm probably wondering how likely it is they will rape me and how i can escape them...
Would you engage in a long-term, serious relationship with a total idiot because they were physically attractive? No. I'm not a total idiot.
Preferred hair color? Dark Fit Hair.
Preferred eye color? Gorgeous Green Eyes
Preferred weight? Don't have a preferred weight... relatively on the skinny side :P
Would you date someone heavier than yourself? Yeh lol. I'm 8st 12 atm so I don't mind heavier...
Preferred height? Someone just a bit taler than me. Where our pelvises meet perfectly :)
Would you date someone taller than yourself? Yehh.. I would.
Family
Are your parents still together? No. My parents haven't really ever been 'together' since I was born. I mean they were patchy years before Matt or I came along. So there wasn't a transition period I particularly remember.
Do you live with them? I'm staying at my mum's atm. Unless i'm at college where i'm staying with my mum's friend.
Any siblings? I have two older gorgeous brothers. John, who's 22 and Matt who's 19. I love them both incredibly much. And I always miss them.
Are you and your family close? I am pretty close with Mattie. I AM close with John but we hardly speak now he's in Australia. I've always been 'mummy's girl' and then we had a bit of a rough patch.. during 2006/07 and just recently we've been getting on a lot better now which is REALLY good. And I also try to keep my dad up to date with what's going on. Never spoke to him like ever but now I talk to him like I would anyone... just talkkkkkkk and ask lots of questions!!!! So i would say i am close but not in the same way as close to friends.
Your family heritage is? I'm half Chinese and I was brought up very much within the Chinese culture and community. I'm also part Russian and part Romany Gypsey. But I'm a Camberley Chick.. I always will be. Lived in Frimely for two and a half years and then Camberley since then. In like 3 different houses. I love Camberley. It's my hometown. I love the people of Camberley. And I love the streets of Camberley. I even love the shops of Camberley. And the Camberley ghetto. Yehhh. Now I'm living in a real ghetto and it's a bit sucky to be honest! I MISSSSSS Camberley!!! If you're ever in Camberley when I'm in Camberley... give me a buzz 'cause I live like 3 minutes' walk away. (when i'm not in the ghetto!)
Friends
Do you have a best friend? I don't have a particular one best friend. I've never really had that. I'd say my truest friend is KT. And I couldn't be more thankful for Emma. And Shanz. And D always makes me laugh so hard I think I'm gonna injure myself. Or I actually DO injure myself.
Many close friends? My close friends include Kt, Shanz, D, Mattie (bro) , Sophs, Kelly, Zahraa, Melinda, Hasna, Emma, Polly, Debbie, Heather, Jason, Mattie and Meyer, I have to say Kt has had the most inspring words for me. D has kept me alive. (really- so if you're glad you know me- thank my D, I do everyday- I LOVE being alive!!!) And Zahraa has been a real strength for me.
Would you consider yourself popular? Well I've always been pretty popular lol.. (reports hahaha) but it's different now... I get on with most people and most people do like me but it's not like proper friends, if you get me :P We should play the popularity game in Camberley Town Centre sometime :p hahaha only person who beats me is Hixxy. :P
Has a friend ever betrayed you? Yes. Over the past couple years, quite a few of my closest, most loyal friends have. They all know who they are. I have no issues with anyone though. But I also have no time for people who have ZERO time for me and cause me hassles. I like to live a happy , peaceful, regretless life !!:)
Have you ever betrayed a friend? I think I'm one of those people who likes to forms friendships that last for life... which is why it's been really weird and stuff with EVERYONE from early years betraying me :( but I don't know.. they will probably think I have somehow. If I have rest assured it would not have been deliberate.
Do you like any of your friends as "more than a friend", but too afraid to make your feelings known? No. Sorry to disappoint like ALL my friends :P lol joking but seriously....
Do you think any of your friends have a crush on you? Yes. Lol.
