75(not) Questions Meme
16 years ago
General
I don't do memes unless a friend prompts me. A friend, not a random FA user. 
tagged me.
1. How old will you be in five years?
28. That's a sly way of learning my age. It's on my front page, you know.
2. Who did you spend at least two hours with today?
That depends on how you define spending time with. My parents are WoW junkies. I think it's a ludographical pile of shit. But we're in the same living room when I play Little Big Planet. Does that count? We don't say anything other than "hello" to each other. I often ask them questions and they're so immersed that they ignore me.
How about spending time with a friend, online, via Little Big Planet? We chat, we bounce around ideas for level design, we play other peoples levels.
I'm a LBP junkie at the moment.
3. How tall are you?
About 1.73 metres. HAH! Go away and convert it into Imperial measurements. I'll be over here enjoying a false sense of smugness.
4. What do you look forward to most in the next six weeks?
Hrmm... most of my plans are very long term. It sucks because there's a long period of time before I can get excited about something approaching.
In a couple of days I'm going out to a restaurant with a friend. A part of our attempts to keep in contact. That will be nice. We'll retire home and binge on booze.
5. What's the last movie you saw?
Gran Torino. Fucking hilarious! But touching, too. I didn't think Clint Eastwood could do that sort of thing, but I'm not familiar with his stuff anyway.
6. Who was the last person you called?
My bro.
7. Who was the last person to call you?
My friend, the one who's eating and drinking with me soon.
8. What was the last text message you received?
What's with all of the phone questions? Now I'll have to bother charging my phone...
...oh great, the number's witheld. Nice one.
9. Who was the last person to leave you a voicemail?
Don't know, don't care. Don't use it. If something costs twice (once to record it, once to receive it) then I'm not for it.
Similarly, I'm never buying satellite or cable TV. To pay a subscription to watch adverts is stupid. You don't buy a sausage that's 32% sawdust, now do you?
10. Do you prefer to call or text?
If I can fit my over-verbose meaning into a text w/out wincin at da txt spk (I hate that shit), I'll use that. I don't like calling strangers over the phone. For some reason it's just awkward. Maybe because I don't have any facial expression or body language to work with. I'd rather meet someone in person or write them a letter/email.
11. What were you doing at 12am last night?
Playing Little Big Planet. I'm not joking! Okay, it was Saturday, the weekend. I made about four new friends yesterday, and we helped each other do the cooperative segments of the game. I've got about 97% of all unlocks now.
12. Are your parents married/divorced?
Married for more than 20 years and still going strong.
13. When did you last see your mom?
An hour ago. She was playing WoW, but such details are starting to become redundant.
14. What color are your eyes?
They're that difficult to describe colour which isn't quite green, isn't quite blue, and isn't quite turquoise.
15. What time did you wake up today?
2PM. But in my defense, it's Sunday, and I was up 'til 6AM yesterday. When I'm on a creative high, I can't just suddenly stop dead - I've got to whack out that melody or finish off the scene.
16. What are you wearing right now?
Olive drab shorts, white t-shirt, black boxers, my glasses, a hairband.
17. What is your favorite Christmas song?
That one where a pop artist made a ton of cash. Can't remember what it was called. "Selling Out For Christmas Time" or something.
18. Where is your favorite place to be?
My favourite place to be is brooding in a dark corner, trying to wrap my head around some indecipherable academic paper.
19. Where is your least favorite place to be?
Anywhere with lots of people I don't know.
20. Where would you go if you could go anywhere?
I'd like to visit the US for numerous reasons. A lot of the best expos and SIGs are hosted there.
21-28 are missing. I'll try to guess them...
21.
Yes.
22.
No.
23.
Green.
24.
More often when I'm wearing a hat.
25.
It depends on whether you're asking if I do that or if I like doing that.
26.
I'm not sure actually.
27.
Would you? I didn't think so.
28.
Only if a walrus is involved.
29. What color are your sheets?
Blue and light blue stripes.
30. How many pillows do you sleep with?
Two soft ones.
31. What is your favorite season?
I like spring due to its symbolism as a new beginning, full of opportunities. That and the sunshine it (eventually) brings.
32.
This question intentionally left blank, apparently.
33. What do you like about winter?
It seldom snows, but when it does, it looks nice. Taking respite from the cold for a bowl of hot, spicy soup is great. That doesn't sound like a positive thing, but you've got to be in the position to enjoy a good bowl of soup.
34. What do you like about the summer?
It's sunny more than once a week. If we're lucky.
35. What do you like about spring?
It's a good time to plan things for the new year - enough time has set in for retrospect on the last year, and it's near enough the beginning of the new one that I can set up my goals.
36. How many states/provinces have you lived in?
If areas count (as divided by different local autorities) then about 4.
37. What cities/towns have you lived in?
I lived on the East side of Scotland before moving to the West. Better job market for my dad or something like that.
38. Do you prefer shoes, socks, or bare paws?
Bare feet for when I'm around the house. Socks for when I'm sleeping (it makes me dream more vividly). And of course shoes for going outside.
39. Are you a social person?
No.
40. What was the last thing you ate?
Spaghetti and meatballs(handmade by myself) with tomato & basil sauce. It was so delicious, I don't care how vain I look by saying so.
41. What is your favorite restaurant?
Um.. I don't know. My tastes are a bit cosmopolitan to nail one easily. I suppose... Pizza Hut or something. Difficult to put much thought into it.
42. What is your favorite ice cream?
Amaretto Glace. Discovered it in Italy, fell in love with it, lived on it for 2 weeks.
43. What is your favorite dessert?
Tiramisu. Are you seeing a pattern yet? I should have been born in Italy.
44. What is your favorite kind of soup?
Sweet potato. My own recipe. It's sweet and spicy! Very warming for the winter time.
45. What kind of jelly do you like on your PB & J sandwich?
Peanut butter is fucking disgusting. Unless used as an ingredient in say, dim sum. It's sweet and salty?! Yeugh. I don't like jam much. Too many seeds. Though cherry steals the show every time.
46. Do you like Chinese food?
Yes, delicious! Dim sum is fun to make, eat, and tastes great too. Lots of scope for different recipes because it's such a big country.
47. Do you like coffee?
Funny thing - I don't like coffee, but I like coffee flavoured things. Like the coffee Revel, or the coffee cream, sadly discontinued in Cadbury's Roses. I love tiramisu too.
48. How many glasses of water, a day, do you drink on average?
I don't know - about a litre's worth. 2/3rds of what I should be drinking.
49. What do you drink in the morning?
Nothing.
50.
I suppose my answer would have to be:
51. Do you sleep on a certain side of the bed?
Yes, though I stick with one side for a while, and then change. The mattress will last longer.
52. Do you know how to play poker?
Yes, though I forget until I'm reminded.
53. Do you like to cuddle?
Yeah. Wish I had more experience though. So ronery.
54. Have you ever been to Canada?
Have you ever been to Bangladesh?
55. Do you have an addictive personality?
I would like to say I'm a workoholic, and a chocoholic, but that's a lie - I've tried neither workohol, nor chocohol.
56. Do you eat out or at home more often?
At home. Sometimes it's good to let someone else cook. But it's roulette unless you know the place.
57.
This question is here, but it's a ghost question. I didn't bring my X-Ray specs with me.
58. Do you know anyone with the same birthday as you?
Not personally. I share mine with Benjamin Franklin though. That's pretty cool.
59. Do you want kids?
Eventually.
60. Do you speak any foreign languages?
Oui.
61.
J'adore le pamplemousse!
62. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?
Nope.
63. Do you prefer an ocean or a pool?
Well, the ocean makes for finding the body a bit more difficult. But it'll always wash up on the shore eventually.
64. Do you prefer a window seat or aisle seats?
Aisle seat. Easier to get out of the plane in a crash, easier to get to the toilet.
65. Do you know how to drive stick?
What the fuck does that mean? I can pick one up and wave it around, but I'm no good at dowsing.
66. What is your favorite thing to spend money on?
Ingredients, tools, technology. Things that let me make things.
67. Do you wear any jewelry?
No. Not even a watch.
68. What is your favorite TV show?
Right now, Star Trek TNG. Yeah yeah, I know. I only have to read comic books, gain several kilos, and I'm comic book guy (I've got the hair already). The thing is, I only just started watching it a few months ago. I'm astonished that I can find a show that's edifying without being patronising.
Once I've mined that show, I'll leave it alone forever, hoping to move onto something else that's fresh (for me).
69. Can you roll your tongue?
Yeah. I also do tongue exercises. My tongue is flexible and the muscles have quite a lot of stamina. I could use them for hours. Who they're for though, I don't know. Maybe I like to hope.
70. Who is (are) the funniest person (people) you know?
I have an uncle who's a natural born comedian. Like he has the range, versatility and style of someone who could do it professionally. No exaggeration.
71. Do you sleep with stuffed animals?
No. I'm not a child. And they'd harbour dust mites anyway.
72. What is the main ring tone on your phone?
"Yell Dead Cell", which if I'm not mistaken was written by Norihiko Hibino.

Previously it was Lower Brinstar by either Kenji Yamamoto or Minako Hamano, I think.

It's difficult to get credits for videogame music.
Super Metroid probably has the most aesthetically achieved score I've ever heard in a game. Others have had more technically pleasing work, but nothing comes close to the sheer symbiosis of music and experience that this game has provided to me. I think perhaps Grim Fandango would be a contender though.

I am the cancer that is killing this meme.
It's like they are just trying to but into your personal information without being as obvious as "what is your name/age/location"....
Even though this one had age...
Or maybe that's just my paranoia speaking. :p
Sense of smugness nothing, I eat metric for breakfast!
...oh great, the number's witheld. Nice one.
They sent you a message and gave you no indication of who they were? Clever.
I also like how you're so clearly attached to your phone that you let it go flat, only bothering to recharge it because of a direct question related to it. XD
I don't like calling strangers over the phone. For some reason it's just awkward. Maybe because I don't have any facial expression or body language to work with. I'd rather meet someone in person or write them a letter/email.
Me too. I also like the fact that if I'm writing someone an email I can go back and revise it, hopefully sounding like less of an idiot than what comes naturally.
isn't quite green, isn't quite blue, and isn't quite turquoise
This'll sound weird, but your eyes sound fascinating.
Yes, though I stick with one side for a while, and then change. The mattress will last longer.
Okay, you know, that is just too logical. Like, weirdly logical.
Well, the ocean makes for finding the body a bit more difficult. But it'll always wash up on the shore eventually.
Not in my experience; the sharks always get to it first. Although that's possibly a local thing.
Only if a walrus is involved.
Dude, it's the walrus that makes it worthwhile.
You're a funny fucker, you know that?
Sense of smugness nothing, I eat metric for breakfast!
Yeah you're a scientist! I suppose it was more directed at the two or three countries still using the old system.
They sent you a message and gave you no indication of who they were? Clever.
Indeed. The funny thing is I can't even remember who it is based on the contents of the text. Pfft.
This'll sound weird, but your eyes sound fascinating.
Aww, you're so romantic! Hah, just kidding. I could take a picture and provide a mean average, composite RGB value. But that would take away some of the mystery.
Not in my experience; the sharks always get to it first. Although that's possibly a local thing.
Yeah, it is. Then again, there are those killer seals off the West coast. I'd need to make sure it was the right visiting season though.
You're a funny fucker, you know that?
Pfft. This stuff is drole. I don't make the really politically incorrect (i.e. funny) jokes in a place like this. Ask me my favourite dead baby joke for example.
A dead baby in a clown suit.
A baby with a punctured lung.
A baby in a trash compactor.
Yeah you're a scientist! I suppose it was more directed at the two or three countries still using the old system.
