Alphabetti Meme

A – ACCENT:  Varies. “Northern” seems to be about it. Most people seem to guess at Scots, but I pick up the accent from who I’m with at times.

B – BOOBS: Yes. I like them. I am also getting old so I’m developing a pair of my own.

C – CHORE YOU HATE: Cooking.

D – DAD’S NAME: Robert

E – ESSENTIAL MAKE-UP ITEM: Bright red lip gloss. Goes with my Rocky Horror costume.

F – FAVORITE PERFUME: Eu de Armpit

G – GOLD OR SILVER: Probably silver but I don’t wear jewellery

H – HOMETOWN: Born in Gateshead, will be living in Edinburgh from this month till July next year. After that… guess I’ll be a drifter again.

I – INSOMNIA: I wouldn’t say I have insomnia, I just don’t need much sleep

J – JOB TITLE: Newly Qualified Teacher (as of August 16th)

K – KIDS: None yet, but good grief I want them. Badly.

L – LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: Tonight? Air bed in Kaz’s spare room. Last three nights? Tent in a field. Before that, 2 nights at Andy’s and a night at Helen’s. Bangkok airport the night before that, hostel before that (2 different ones, 2 nights). Hostel, boat (room and deck in various occasions), island (mattress, hammock and table) for the previous 8 weeks… Will be house-hunting in Edinburgh next week for a flat/house-share which should hopefully last me till July 2011.

M – MUM’S NAME: Mina

N – NUMBER OF TIMES YOU WANT TO SLAP SOME SENSE INTO SOMEONE:  Varies from day to day. Note that I am a secondary school teacher… so obviously this never happens with the kids. I just feel the urge to repeat myself, rephrase myself, and then hand them off to a psychologist to find out what one of a billion “conditions” they could have which would explain their laziness and unwillingness to learn. Honest.

O – OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAYS: Never since I left with my mum the first time.

P – PHOBIA: Heights, probably. Not a real phobia. I jumped out of an aeroplane after all. But I could never bungee jump

Q – QUEST: Wife/partner, couple of kids, secure job I’m happy with. How hard can that be?

R – RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: None at all whatsoever in the slightest. OK. Heavy Metal, if you insist

S – SIBLINGS: None

T – TIME YOU WAKE UP: Usually by 8am. Earlier if required by work

U – UNNATURAL HAIR COLOURS YOU’VE WORN: Had the tiniest bit of purple in my hair once for about 2 days, but you could hardly see it.

V – VEGETABLE YOU REFUSE TO EAT: Sprouts

W – WORST HABIT: Pick my nose and eat it. Hey, I could be a serial killer.

X – X-RAYS YOU’VE HAD: Just tooth-related ones as far as I can remember

Y – YUMMY FOODS YOU MAKE: Worlds most awesome chicken burgers

Z – ZANY QUIRK: Zany? Erm. Nothing zany, really. Unless anyone wants to correct me?
