Random survey time in Rambling sane thoughts of the terminally me

Random survey

Just for the fun of it! Oh, side note, did anyone see that there’s a new thing now called “Coke Life”. Really? What the frak. Apparently it’s because it’s made with natural sugars. Don’t get me wrong, that’s definitely better than the crap I used to drink but still…

Ok, rant over. Survey time.

If your doctor told you TODAY that you were pregnant, what would you say?

I’m not going to lie, I’d be very very surprised. On the plus side I always wanted to be a Dad and the money of such a bizarre twist would probably means that I could afford to be. Given how little I’m getting laid at the moment, I’d also have to assume that I was either giving birth to the second coming or that I was somehow reproducing asexually.

Do you trust all of your friends?

I think I’d be hard pressed to name a single person that I trust completely. People have agendas. That’s not a negative against them, I do too. Saying that you trust someone though, you have to be completely sure that their agenda and yours matches up. Otherwise you’re justing opening yourself to a bucket full of hurt. So, no.

Would you move to another state or country to be with the one you love?

Hell, I’d move just because I was bored. Sadly I don’t have anyone to move with me at the moment so on this one I guess I’ll just have to keep hoping and getting myself fit for when she turns up. I'd like to think if they asked me then yes.

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?

Hell no. Life is a series of random events with no pre-determined cause or path. There is no rhyme or reason beyond the basic sciences, no governing power that watches over us or, if there is, he doesn’t care about any reason that would be at all intelligible to our limited brains. If the reason is completely beyond our comprehension then for the sake of all argument we may as well say it doesn’t exit.

Is there someone that pops in your head at random times?
There are so many people who do this. My brain is an iPod set to shuffle. It’s fortunate if I think about what I’m trying to think about at any given point. Practical example, I had a dream last night where I bumped into a lass called Helen who I once had a one night stand with a university (before I got together with Jen) and she had since become a flight instructor and offered to give me lessons on how to fly a plane. Why? No idea.

Even when I’m awake I’ll think of random people and wonder what’s going on in their lives. I guess that, despite all my cynicism, I am really quite interested in peoples stories. I suppose it’s one of the reasons I’m on here. I can write and you can all read my story. You can write and I can read yours.

What is your most favorite scar?

My most favourite scar? Like I have a collection of favourite scars and you want me to pick one above the others? Tautology. Look it up.
Anyhow, I’ve got a few scars from my younger days when I would do a lot of silly things and throw myself off stuff like a lemming. I suppose if I were to have one that signifies the most to me it’d be the scar on my right wrist from when I tried self harming. Not because it was a good idea; it wasn’t. Just because I did it to try and get my mind around it and to try and understand my ex-girlfriend who did the same thing alot. I remember it feeling disturbingly good at the time which is why I vowed not to do it again. Did not want to end up carrying more scars than needed.

Fill in the blank I love ...............

my family.
Feeling free.
Sushi.

So, I suppose my ideal day would be a sushi picnic with my family and the promise I didn’t have to go back to work the next day.

What is a goal you would like to accomplish in the near feature?

I’d like to get under 14 stone and exercise enough to have abs again.

If you were to wake up from being in a coma for an extended time who would you call?

Ghostbusters. No, wait. No-one. I’d leave the hospital without telling anyone and then turn up at my parents door. Think they’d deserve a nice surprise.

How many kids do you want to have?

Including my current pregnancy? Nah, no idea. I always knew I wanted to be a Dad. I think I’d make a great parent. Sadly though I’m a pretty bad human being in most other respects and I think the window of possibility on spawning progeny is probably closing or closed. I’ll just have to settle for being a kick-ass uncle.

Whats your middle name?

Don’t have one. They tried to get me on holy ground to be baptised and I burst into flames.

What's on your mind right now?

So much. Random stream titles from my brain of things I think in the next minute? Go!
What’s that banjo playing?
Oh it’s iTunes.
Will anyone in this class fail their test?
Damn that’d mean I need to be in work at 8am on wednesday.
No problem, it’s overtime.
Yeah but I’ll be going to bed early then.
I think my bed sheets need changing.
I really need to get a better paid job.
I could afford a house then.
Deposit = 10000.
Save 100 per month.
Deposit achieved in 8 years.
Crap.
Need a promotion that allows me to save 500 a month.
Good luck with that.
Stupid housing market.
If only I had a rich dead uncle.
Wonder if that lotto ticket I bought is a winner?
First thing I’d do would be buy a super expensive coffee.
Then book myself into a health camp for 6 weeks.
Bet it’d be super easy to get thin then.

Ok, I never said they were DEEP thoughts. Just that there’s a lot of them. See what I mean about my brain. It’s usually why people ask what I’m thinking I response with “not much”. It’s easier than explaining the ridiculous chain of logic.

If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?

I don’t honestly know. I can’t think of something in my life that I value so little that I’d risk changing it. For example, if I hadn’t done Media Production and had done Computer science instead then i’d be currently eligible for a 18 month contract I’m looking at for and L&D officer on a different site. However to do that I’d have to sacrifice my friendship with Rob, the relationship I had with Erika, my time with Theatre in Education, and the friendships I’ve made by my life in Newcastle. Even the things that are over from that (the job and the relationship) are still important to me. My personal history is important to me. I don’t know if I could change one thing for another.

Favorite Jeans?

Blue. Or black. Ok, so I don’t have favourite jeans. I’m not a “clothes person”, sue me.

Favorite animal?

I love animals. I suppose it’d probably be dogs because they’ve been such a big part of my life growing up but it’d be a hairs width between them any pretty much every other animal. Except wasps. Wasps can fuck off and die.

Who knows you the best?

Probably Leon. He’s been my best friend since we were 11 and he’s always been able to read me like a book. It’s not that he knows the practicalities of what goes on in my day-to-day life. He just understands who I am and the way I think.

Do you have a lot of make up?

Face paint, for LARP, cosplay, costume and theatre. Makeup? Not so much.

Do you carry a purse?

Er… no.

What was the most recent movie that made you cry?
Blimey, I dunno. I cry at weird things. Death scenes etc usually don’t bother me but I’ll cry at people expressing their feelings down phone lines. I think it’s the idea of them not being to physically touch. Which specific movie though? Honestly can’t remember. I know there have been some in the last year because I remember crying at movies and thinking it was stupid. I just can’t remember what the movies were.

Look, if you want ones that always make me cry. These lines.
“The Crow” - “Buildings burn; people die; but real love is forever”.
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” - “Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: Ok?”
“Big Fish” - No quote for this one. It’s just that end scene where all the characters from his story turn up at the funeral.
“Seeking a friend for the end of the world” - Not actually a great film in some regards but some really heartfelt stuff and just the constant feel of these two finding each other when the world is about to end.
“The Green Mile” - We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long.
“Up!” - Yeah, I’m not even going to. You all know the bit. If you didn’t at least well up then you’re a zombie.

Yeah. Emotions. Weird weird things.

Anyhow, that’s it. Quiz done. 15 minutes of time wasted. Or used productively, depending on whether or not you had a laugh.
