So I saw this and it looks interesting enough but it's going to be some very short entries so I thought I'd just treat it as a questionnaire and do it all in one shot. It's a good use of a lunch break.

So... Day 1. Blogs name: Rambling sane thoughts of the terminally me. Day 2. 20 facts about me. I'll list these using the alphabet a) My name is Adam b) I'm 32 years old c) I work as a trainer of Apple products d) I have a long standing love affair with cinema and theatre. e) I once stood up in a crowded cinema and yelled at the main character to "use your sword". f) I LARP. That's Live Action Roleplay. I pretend to be a fantasy-esque character and run round hitting people with swords. g) I cosplay as "The Doctor" occasionally. h) I'm currently on a get fit deal which has been going on for close to two months now. I haven't weighed myself yet for it. Hoping it'll make for a good birthday present i) I'm a Leo. J) I can't dance or sing but that doesn't stop me because I'm not doing it for your pleasure. If you don't like it tough. k) I used to climb a tree in Saint Andrews church when I was young. Once I carved AS and GS on it. GS was Gemma Speck who I was "dating" in that kids kind of way at the time. It's still there. l) My dream is to be rich enough to buy a house and not live in it because I'm off somewhere having adventures. Preferably with company of the female persuasion. Either that or have super powers, I'm not fussy. m) I've had my adenoids out. n) I once cut my hand to the bone on a blade of grass. o) I have a real hankering to go and jump in a river. p) My favourite food is Tapas. q) I often shuttle between emotional states quickly but few people notice this because of my habit of internalising emotions. r) Is this 20 or is that T? It's T. Ok then... I've tried writing the same poem about 4 times now over the last week and it's not getting any better. I keep getting stuck only a few lines in and then sitting there until I forget what I was trying to say and give up. This is annoying. s) I'm left handed. t) I once got half way through a Level of AVP (Alien vs Predator) whilst asleep.

Day 3, what's your favourite quote: "Can't rain all the time"

Day 4, your dream job: Actor. No contest.

Day 5, your proudest moment: Sometimes I'm not sure. I guess I should have quite a few as I try very hard to be the good guy in my own story but I find it hard to justify these because I'm TRYING to do this. It doesn't come naturally to me. Naturally, I think I'm probably quite a selfish person. I suppose therefore, the only thing I can really take pride in making the choice to make that effort. I think the first time I realised I wanted to do that was when I saw the scars on Jen Langfields arm and realised I wanted to help her feel better.

Day 6, what are you afraid of: Same as everyone, being forgotten.

Day 7, Your 5 Favourite songs: Feed my Frankenstein; She's my man; My Angel Gabriel; Dye; 21 gun salute. At the moment. It changes.

Day 8, 5 current goals: a) Keep getting fit b) Go on holiday c) Find someone who makes me happy and that I want to make happy d) Get promotion e) Be a better person

Day 9, What's in your bag: Portable HD; Macbook Pro; iPad; cables; tie; paper; pencil; cup-a-soup.

Day 10, best trip of your life: I remember a holiday to Center Parcs when I was a kid where I didn't want to go home at the end. It's the only holiday I can really remember feeling like that. So, I guess that one then.

Day 11, 10 favourite foods: a) Tapas b) Seafood c) chinese (including sushi) d) pomegranates e) brussel sprouts f) bacon sandwiches at motorway sidings at 7 in the morning g) bbq burgers h) fried mushrooms i) curry j) rare steak

Day 12, Favourite childhood book: I liked "The Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton. I was a big Blyton kid and I always loved the fact it was normal kids who found these extraordinary places. You didn't have to be special or the chosen one. You could just be someone who found a magic tree. Or joined a circus. Or solved a mystery.

Day 13, What's inside your fridge: At the mo? Fresh strawberries; Fresh salad; bottled water; Salad dressing; fruit pots.

Day 14, 3 healthy habits: a) I quit smoking b) I quit drinking c) I organised a healthy diet routine that I'm sticking to.

day 15, where will you be in 5 years: I'll have completed my T4 for Apple and be training for them centrally around Europe. Hopefully.

Day 16, thoughts on education: Time spent learning is never time wasted.

Day 17, your favourite blogs: Going to skip this one as I don't have owners permission to share their blogs.

Day 18, a photograph of yourself: Go check the previous entry, it's got one of me dressed as the doctor. No? Fine, how about... alt text Me and my knights prior to retiring my last character.

Day 19, Your favourite movie: The Crow. There's others as well but this one is definitely still right up there.

Day 20, What makes you happy: Lot's of things but only some of the time.

Day 21, What makes you sad: See day 20.

Day 22, Your worst habits: I bite my finger nails when I'm thinking.

Day 23, If you won the lottery: Think I already answered this one. Buy a house and don't live in it. If I won a sufficiently large amount I'd like to buy several houses and start a "not for profit" business to help first time home owners who couldn't raise a deposit. They could live in my house and pay me rent until they hit the deposit value of the house at which point I'd give it back to them and they could take out a mortgage for the remaining amount and buy the house off me.

Day 24, What attracts you (in love): Patience; vibrance; honesty; creativity; a fun sense of humour. I used to say girls I fell for had to have at least five major personality failings or I'd get bored but I think I've moved beyond that now.

Day 25, your biggest regret: I once stole money from my Grandmother. She had alzeimers. I felt horrible about it but I could never apologise to her because she wouldn't remember. It was definitely the worst thing I've ever done and I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself for it.

Day 26, your hidden talent: Don't have any. If I have a talent, believe me, you're going to hear about it.

Day 27, what's in your closet: Really? This is a question? Clothes! What else? Stupid darn question.

Day 28, Most embarrassing moment: Girlfriends mum once walked in on me and her daughter. We hadn't gotten to the taking anything off stage but the petting was getting rather heavy and she walked in and asked what we'd like for tea. Never have I been so compelled to scream "We'd like to be left alone so I can ravish your daughter". I managed to maintain composure.

Day 29, A confession: Christ, what can I confess? I'm a pretty open person except for the emotional stuff. I've still got a crush on Becky, a lass I dated some years ago. It didn't turn out the way we wanted and we went back to being friends but I still sometimes wonder what would have happened if I'd be as fixed as I am now back then.

Day 30, your hopes for your Blog: I don't think this thing is going to change the world. I used to write my thoughts back when I first started my OD and thought I was more intelligent then everyone (as you do when you're 20) but if 12 years taught me anything it's the only person it's really important to impress is yourself. If I can look back on my entries and see a charted positive progression from the boy I used to be to the man I hope to become then I suppose that's what the blog is for. If I write a couple of kick-ass poems en route I'll consider those a bonus.

There. 30 days in one entry. Back to work for me. Later!
