angelophile1. Your name spelled backwards.
eman ruoy
2. Where were your parents born?
Mum in York, Yorkshire (fairly obviously). Dad was born in Mill Hill, northwest London.
3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
Stuffit Expander upgrade
4. What's your favorite restaurant?
Probably Ocean Palace chinese restaurant near where I work.
5. Last time you swam in a pool?
Erf. Actually, come to think of it, when I was on holiday in the US in may. The hotel had one.
6. Have you ever been in a school play?
Um.. School one... yes actually, a long time ago. Been in non-school plays since.
7. How many kids do you want?
Two I guess. A way off probably, if ever. I'd like kids though.
8. Type of music you dislike most?
Heavy opera and hardcore dance music.
9. Are you registered to vote?
Yup.
10. Do you have cable?
No.
11. Have you ever ridden on a moped?
Nope.
12. Ever prank call anybody?
Yes, at college a few times to take revenge on our hall warden who was a total arsehole.
13. Ever get a parking ticket?
Actually, no.
14. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?
Never go bungeeing. I don't believe it can be at all healthy. Skydiving I'd hesitate about but I would do it. Not planning to though. ;)
16. Do you have a garden?
Well, my folks do and that's where I'm living. (With my folks, not in the garden.) Personally, I'm not bothered about having one.
17. What's your favorite comic strip?
Peanuts
18. Do you really know all the words to your national anthem?
Nobody knows all the words to our National Anthem because it's only the first verse that's -ever- sung. But apparently other verses exist. However, it's easy to remember.
"God save our gracious Queen
God save our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen."
It's called, funnily enough, God Save the Queen. And always seemed more like a football chant than an anthem to me anyway. Maybe that's the idea.
19. Bath or Shower, morning or night?
Bath in the morning for preference. Although showers are good in the morning too. I prefer a long soak in the bath around midday though. ;)
20. Best movie you've seen in the past month?
Erf. Toss up between Glengarry Glen Ross (brilliant cast and acting and some sublime moments) and Shanghai Knights (just plain fun).
21. Favorite pizza topping?
Meat. Lots of meat.
22. Chips or popcorn?
Salt and Vinegar crisps
23. What color lipstick do you usually wear?
Pardon? O.o
24. Have you ever smoked peanut shells?
O.o again. um.. no.
25. Have you ever been in a beauty pageant?
O.o This is aimed at girls right?
26. Orange Juice or apple?
Apple. Allergic to orange actually. Makes me sneeze like a bastard.
27. Who was the last person you went out to dinner with and where did you dine?
Yesterday, went to Top Wok chinese restaurant with my friend Mandy and her friend... er... whose name I can't recall. Scottish chick.
28. Favorite type of chocolate bar?
White chocolate smarties bar. So good.
29. When was the last time you voted at the polls?
The election? I think I missed the last one because of deadline, so probably a couple of years.
30. Last time you ate a homegrown tomato?
Sunday I think. Maybe Saturday. My parents go freakish tomatoes and I made us salad with a couple.
31. Have you ever won a trophy?
Actually, yes, a proper silver trophy that my school found somewhere when we had our school dance when I was about 15. Won it for the Funkiest Shorts. Don't ask. ;)
32. Are you a good cook?
Surprisingly, yes I am. I've always enjoyed cooking and tend to be a bit more inventive than my mum. I'm not amazing, but I can cook some nice dishes if I put my mind to it.
33. Do you know how to pump your own gas?
Beg pardon? Is that like filling your tank with petrol? You have people to do that? Freaks.
34. Ever order an article from an infomercial?
Huh. No?
35. Sprite or 7-up?
Don't care, both are too sweet for me on the whole.
36. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to work? how about school?
Had to wear a uniform for school up to age 16, after which anything went apart from jeans. Work? I guess, I wore a t-shirt with a logo on for a printers I worked at and I've been waiting staff so black trousers and white shirt on occasion.
37. Last thing you bought at a pharmacy?
Ibuprophen.
38. Ever throw up in public?
Me? In public? If you define public as the street yes. If you define it as a shopping mall, then no. ;)
39. Would you prefer being a millionaire or find true love?
I'm practical, so probably a millionaire. You can work on the love. True love soon gets faded anyway. Learn to grow.
40. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Lust yes. Love, no, not really.
41. Ever call a 1-900 number?
Nope.
42. Can exes be friends?
