Procrastinating

mk_tortieI should really be writing my presentation for tomorrow, but never mind... instead I'm browsing The Pier website for bed linen and bathroom products and furniture. Oh, I wish I had money to make my house look all pretty in September! Some of the furniture I've got there is still flat pack stuff I've had since I was 10, and I'm getting a bit fed up with it really... oh well. I still plan on making it look a lot more 'grown-up' when I get back, since I will have a living room as well as a bedroom and so on, and no housemates other than Trev! I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm also sitting around in my flat waiting for a guy to come who is interested in playing in my band, which should be interesting. I wanted to get everyone together at once but it just didn't work out today, so I'll just have to find a different time when we're all free. C'est la vie!

anna_in_the_sky:
1. Do you still talk to the person you lost your virginity to?
Yes, mainly because I'm still with him!
2. What would you do with 1,000 plastic spoons?
Take them on guide camp? Or come up with some exciting craft idea to use them for... or take photos of them scattered over things. And then keep them in a box somewhere for a few years 'just in case', knowing me!
3. What kind of music did you listen to in elementary school?
S Club 7, Boyzone, and Ant and Dec. Oh yes, I had good taste!
4. What is the best thing about your current job?
I've just got it, and it means I can spend the summer wandering around Berlin in the sunshine!
5. Have you ever felt betrayed by your best friend?
Sometimes, a little bit - because we've been at different schools since we were both 16, and I'm not sure she sees our friendship in the same way as I do anymore. Although that's maybe more sadness at how things change than betrayal, I guess.
6. Are you against same sex marriage?
Not at all.
7. Have you been on a date in the past week?
Nope, that's the problem with being in a long distance relationship.
8. Where are you going on your next vacation?
Well, I'm flying to England a few times over the summer, although I don't see that as a vacation so much. I want to go to Utrecht in Holland and Prague for a couple of days at some point to see some friends, and me and Trev are planning on going to either Montenegro or the Lake District in September. And to go and see his Dad in Malaga in October too. Actually, I have quite a lot planned!!
9. Quote a song lyric: 'The time has come, a fact's a fact' from 'Beds are Burning' by Midnight Oil - I've got LastFM playing similar artists to Neil Finn at the moment and that's what's on right now!
10. Are most of the friends in your life new or old?
Some new, from this semester/last, some from the beginning of uni, and some from school/college. Although that's only a couple really.
11. Do you own any furniture from Ikea?
Quite a lot ;)
12. Do you like your parents?
Yes, I realise it more and more the longer I'm in Berlin! We get on a lot better now that I don't live at home.
13. Do you still live with them?
No. They've moved to somewhere too far away from anywhere for that to ever really be viable again, either.
14. What state/country are you from?
I was born in Buckinghamshire in England, but I consider myself to be from Hampshire because that's where I lived for 18 years of my life!
15. Tell us about the last conversation you had:
A text conversation with Malte, a friend who's going to play guitar in my band. And I spoke to my Mum on the phone about my sister's birthday present, too.
16. Where do you see yourself in one month?
Enjoying Trev being here! And probably being sunburnt... stupid pale skin.
17. What is your favorite smell?
Roses.
18. What is your dream car?
I like the car I've got now - it's a red MG ZR :) But in an ideal world, a car that looked like an MG but was completely environmentally friendly!
19. What do you fear the most?
Death - of myself or anyone I care about.
20. What is the time and the outside temperature at the moment?
14.35, and the temperature's probably about 21 degrees C.
21. Have you ever done anything vindictive to your coworkers?
No - I'm not really a vindictive person, I get guilty too easily!
22. What annoys you the most?
People stopping at the top of escalators and then glaring at you when you fall on them. Or I suppose more generally, stupidity like that!
23. Have you ever Played Spin the Bottle?
Once, with people from Gang Show, and it was mostly girls! It didn't really work because I kept getting my sister, so quite obviously we refused to take part!
24. What reminds you most of your childhood?
The smell of woodsmoke when the sun is shining in winter, and the way light falls through leaves onto the ground and makes patterns. And walking through tree-lined roads in the countryside when it's quiet and hot and still.
25. Have you ever liked someone but never told them?
Many, many people... and the only people who ever told ME they liked me before Trev were generally the people no-one else was friends with because they were so weird, because I was nice to them!
26. If you could spend one night with any person (dead or alive), who would you spend it with and why?
Right now, with Trev. I miss him :(
27. Have you ever had a crush on your sister's friend?
Not really, no.
28. Have you ever been to a nude beach?
No, although I've been to many where most people are topless (me included, heh)
29. Have you ever had sex on the beach?
No!
30. Have you ever had a stalker?
No, although I met a guy at a scout camp who I kissed one night, and then found out later he was actually 14 years older than me, which he knew at the time! He then sent me texts for months and months after that.
31. Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
No, although I would if I found somewhere warm and secluded enough!
32. What are one of your hobbies?
playing piano and singing :)
33. Have you ever gone to a party where you were the only sober one?
Not that I can remember
34. Have you ever been cheated on?
No. Well, as far as I know, anyway!
35. Have you ever had sex with one of your LJ friends?
Heh, no, I've only met four of them in real life anyway!
36. What are your goals in life?
Live in France, be successful and happy no matter what I end up doing, have a family and get married in a white dress :)
37. What are your favourite shows?
I love Scrubs and Black Books :) And recently I've been marathoning House as a means of procrastination.
38. Have you ever lied to your parents?
Doesn't everyone? Although I like to call it being creative with the truth... although I am very honest about a lot of things that perhaps other people don't tell their parents!
39. Have you ever been out of the US?
I've only been IN the US once, when I was 9. So yes, rather.
40. Do you have any regrets?
Not really. You can't do anything about things that are already done.
41. Where do you see yourself within the next 5 years?
I don't know - everything's up in the air after my degree. Hopefully, successful, happy, and planning to get married at least.
42. Have you ever eaten 3 meals from 3 different fast food places in 1 day?
Possibly! I think I may have done pizza, MacDonalds, and kebab all in one day. And I've certainly bought kebab twice in the same evening from the same shop...
43. Have you ever gotten so wasted you didn't know what was going on?
Once, the first time I ever got really drunk, when I was 16. Not an experience I want to repeat!
44. Have you ever spied on someone you had a crush on?
I don't think so!
45. Have you ever met someone you only knew through LJ?
Yes,nqdonne. And I met a guy who I only knew off Tazlure as well.
46. Have you ever slept with one of your co-workers?
No!
47. Have you ever seen your best friend naked?
I don't think so - only in swimming costumes and stuff.
48. Have you peed your pants recently?
No!
49. What would you do if you won $100 million?
Make sure my family, friends, and Trev were well set up with money, donate a lot to charity, and leave enough for me to buy a nice house and decorate it well, and travel around the world.
50. Have you had sex this week?
No... stupid LDR!
I'm also sitting around in my flat waiting for a guy to come who is interested in playing in my band, which should be interesting. I wanted to get everyone together at once but it just didn't work out today, so I'll just have to find a different time when we're all free. C'est la vie!
