Start it off with a bang!
12 years ago
I've had this account for a while now, yet its only been in the last month that I've actually bothered with it. Silly I know, but that's what you get when your insane.
So as a long overdue icebreaker, I thought I'd post something pinched from a friends journal. Lucky, you are pretty much the reason I've actually started posting stuff on here, so here's to you. :{>
Scratchings on the Wall
Stolen from zanner via luckychance02
When was the last time you cried? Watching Les Miserables on opening day.
Have you ever faked sick? Yep. Swallowed a whole cigarette to make it look real then asked to go home before throwing up on my boss' shoes.
What was the last lie you said? These meatballs are delicious (when you're staying with someone a few thousand miles from home, you don't insult their cooking)
Have you ever cried during a movie? Only a few times, the most recent being Les Miserables.
Have you ever danced in the rain? Yes
Have you ever been drunk? Not physically possible/practical. Stupid genetic disorder manifesting in high tolerance of drugs.
What is your full name? Ben Smith Whatley.
What is your blood-type? I should probably find that out at some point. Having lived in the UK for a while during a certain time I'm not allowed to give blood, so its never really come up.
Have you ever been in a car accident? Yes. And I still maintain it wasn't my fault.
How old were you when you received your first kiss? 13, and I remember it well.
Who was your first kiss? Beth. I have fond memories of when we were together. Good times.
Have you ever had an online relationship? Technically yes.
Have you ever been rejected by a crush? Multiple times.
What is your favorite sport to play? Kayaking, though soccer and volleyball come close.
Have you ever made a prank phone call? Maybe once, a long time ago.
Is there anything that you have done that you regret? Move to Canberra. Most if not all of my problems in life stem from that decision, and I would go back to change it because although its made me who I am today, I'm not happy with who I've become. Time machine? Yes please.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I have no intents of Growing Up. However, if one requires an answer then CGI Rigger.
What is your political persuasion? I vote for the lesser of two evils.
Do you believe in g-d? My beliefs are a little more... Pratchettarian.
Do you believe in love at first sight? I am a romantic at heart, but through my life I have never witnessed such a thing. So, alas, no I don't.
Do you believe in karma? Unfortunately yes. I'm paying for stuff that I've done, and stuff I will do. It had just better be worth it in the end or some deity's gonna get a damn good beating when I kick the bucket.
Who was your first crush? Celebrity crush= Cameron Diaz, RL Crush= Cassiopoeia Galfas
Who do you have a crush on? On this site? In the world? Be more specific! Otherwise, Denisse Valenzuela. I don't have a chance in hell.
How would you describe yourself? I have sat staring at this question for a while now, and if I were to completely truthful, I am a mask. My real self is pushed out of sight where no one can see, replaced with a form that is acceptable to others. The hidden side is not malevolent, just odd; more odd than even a Fur could handle (trust me on this).
What are you afraid of? Above all else needles. Second to that; rejection and bottomless ocean.
What does your screen name mean? The most neutral colour in the world, able to blend with pretty much anything. Also the colour of pre iMac computers.

What is the best compliment you have ever received? "If you didn't feel like my brother I'd sleep with you" - big crush I had on a girl at Uni.
What is the meanest thing anyone has said about you? "If you didn't feel like my brother I'd sleep with you"
What is the longest crush/relationship you have had? 5 year relationship.
What is your greatest strength? Dogged determination. It will get done dammit come hell or high water.
What is your greatest weakness? I cannot stand Bullies. This gets me into more trouble than anything else; I have already quit two reasonable jobs because of this (management)

If you could change your name, what would you change it to? Reginald. Such a wonderfully upperclass name.
If you could go back in time to one point in your life, what point would you choose? August 22 1995. We were flying from Australia to the US. That night my sister almost dies of suffocation, so I would help prevent that. Afterwards I make lots of bad decisions, that I feel I'd be a better person if I'd never made them.

I know; I once was in a downhill skiing competition for high school and went down the run in boar dies and a Hawaiian shirt to get the psychological advantage. It worked.
Do you usually prefer books or movies? Books as they enable my uncontrollable imagination to have a little more free reign.
