I'll do an update on my week off when I'm back home and can upload the photos. So in the meantime, have a meme, as yanked from [livejournal.com profile] amorvoloexsisto

What's the last thing you did, where you technically broke the law?
Speeding yesterday coming back from London. I clocked myself doing 96 mph. Oops.

Have you ever cried so much you just couldn't cry anymore after that certain point?
Not that I recall.

Is there any television series that you've been meaning to catch up on, which one?
Several. True Blood and Heroes spring to mind because they're shows I don't have ready on DVD for the catchup.

When's the last time you went swimming?
Week before last at the gym.

Where were you the last time you saw someone you thought was super cute?
Um... motorway service station yesterday.

Can you name off the people who you've seen today (that you know of course)?
Pete, Terry, Dave, Guy, Sylvia... That's probably it that I can name.

How often do you wake up to having unread text messages?
Rarely. Cos the bloody phone beeps all night if I don't get up and read them.

Is there anyone you wish you could be spending your time with right now?
A great number.

What's one thing you're especially excited for about summer '09?
Not really. My week off and London meet have been and gone. Holiday in September?

Are you any good at writing, as in short stories poems and such?
Probably, but I'm also too lazy to ever finish anything.

Think back to the last time you cooked for someone else, what had you made?
Just a tuna pasta bake last week for family. It was an impromptu thing.

Was the last kiss you received, a kiss on the lips or a kiss on the cheek?
Cheek.

How much does it take for you too cry?
Depends. Sometimes a piece of fiction can trigger it more easily than something sad in my own life.

Do you think you'll have a good day tomorrow?
I'll be at work. Define good?

When was the last time you saw your best friend?
Erm... A couple of years ago in person. My friends and I just tend to meet up occasionally and pick up where we left off.

Who was the last person to make you laugh?
Hmm. Mike, probably.

Which do you think is worse: not caring enough or caring too much?
Too much.

Are there more photos or music files on your computer?
Ahh... tough call. Probably music.

Do you know anyone who drinks tea a lot?
I'm English. That's a foolish question.

Was the last thing you drank flavoured?
Yeah. Coke flavoured.

What was the last thing you scribbled down on a piece of paper?
A phone number and message for my boss.

Would you rather have a picnic at the park or on the beach?
Beach. I have to live near the sea or I go stir crazy.

Who wakes up in the morning first in your house?
Me, since I live alone.

Would you be interested in going to see a psychic?
No.

When was the last time you went to a drive-in theatre, if you've ever been to one?
Never have. It's not really a UK thing, is it?

If you had to choose between a million dollars or to be able to change a regret?
A million dollars. I can't think of anything I regret that I could change that would be worth more to me.

Where is your boyfriend/girlfriend at the moment?
Who knows? Maybe one day I'll find out.

Have you ever slept in the same bed as your friends?
Hmm. Probably not.

How would you feel if you found out you had been cheated on?
Disappointed.

Have you ever lived with a girlfriend/boyfriend?
No.

Have you ever kissed your #1 on myspace?
Er... no idea who it is. Gonna guess no.

Do you wash your hands after using the restroom?
Yarp.

If you've already graduated from high school, did you graduate with any sort of honors?
I have no idea what that means.

If you have younger siblings, how old were you when your siblings were born?
I don't. Both my sisters are older.

Have you ever spilled anything on your computer?
Yes. Solvent. Don't ask.

What toppings were on the last pizza you ate?
No clue. Probably salami.

Who was the last person of the opposite sex you laid in a bed with?
Um... You know, I honestly can't remember. Maybe Katherine.

Where was the last place you went out to eat?
KFC. Does that count as going out?

What is your favorite soda?
Coke probably. It's what I drink most often anyway.

What color is your ceiling fan?
Ceiling fan?

Do you have Tivo?
What IS Tivo anyway?

What's the last creative thing you did?
Set an advert. It's my job. Is that creative?

Hmm...let me see if I can clear these two up:

If you've already graduated from high school, did you graduate with any sort of honors?
I have no idea what that means.

Your system for secondary school is totally different, so of course this makes no sense. There's a definite competitive vibe to graduating high school in the US. I graduated "with honors" (I had a gold cord to wear over my robe, whoopedy-do) because my grades were in the top 5% of my class. Other "honors" at graduation are being Valedictorian (normally the highest grades in the graduating class, and gives the farewell speech at the ceremony) and Salutatorian (2nd best grades, gives the introductory speech at graduation).

But really, 98% of the students don't give a crap about graduating with honors.

Do you have Tivo?
What IS Tivo anyway?

It's a brand of digital video recorder, introduced before most of the cable and satellite companies had their own proprietary models. But it's also sort of like saying "kleenex" for tissue, or "Coke" for any type of soda (over half the US does this; it annoys the crap out of me). Most people just mean DVR when they say Tivo.
