   I can’t think right now, mainly due to it being 2.20am, but I’ll need something to do at work tomorrow (they make us sit in a chair for an hour at a time in case the Illicit Book Detector goes off, and don’t even let us read even though it’s a library), so maybe I’ll be able to come up with something!

   5. I will never forget: the day that my dog Simba died
   6. Once I met: a prostitute (she approached me, not the other way round. Honest!)
   7. There’s this girl I know: who I love and who I wish realized just how terrific she is (yes - that means you, Sha).
   8. Once, at a bar: I went outside for a smoke and wasn’t allowed back in by the bouncers because I was too drunk.

   10. Last night: I went to work and then called my fiance when I got home.
   11. If only I had: never started smoking
   12. Next time I go to church: I’ll worry whether they’ll be able to tell that I’m really a deist who’s found a home in Christianity, rather than a bible-bashing literalist.
   13. What worries me most: that i’ll die before getting to marry my fiance and spending the rest of my life with her
   14. When I turn my head left I see: a window
   15. When I turn my head right I see: wallpaper and a chest of drawers with an old X-Files mug resting on top
   16. You know I’m lying when: I’m trying to pretend that I’m cool in any way.
   17. What I miss most about the Eighties is: Duran Duran and Nik Kershaw.
   18. If I were a character in Shakespeare I’d be: I don’t do Shakespeare - not enough aliens, car chases, or explosions.
   19. By this time next year: hopefully I’ll be married and have a green card
   20. A better name for me would be: hey you (you stole that one from me, didn’t you?!?).

   22. If I ever go back to school: I’ll be studying something useful, for once.
   23. You know I like you if: I’m a bit of a loner, so you know I like you if I enjoy spending time with you.

   25. Take my advice: never try to land on just one leg when falling from a height of about six feet.
   26. My ideal breakfast is: caffeine, in any form.
   27. A song I love but do not have is: I don’t even bother owning CDs any more - I just find all my favourite songs on Youtube, instead.
   28. If you visit my hometown, I suggest you: avoid the puddles of vomit around the half a dozen pubs at the end of my street.
   29. Why won’t people: stop being so politically correct and talking management-speak, when everyone knows that they’re talking bullshit?
   30. If you spend a night at my house: be warned that I’ll be up until 4am , and then look like a zombie until midday.
   31. I’d stop my wedding so: Only if Sha told me that she used to be male.
   32. The world could do without: middle management type people.

   36. If I do anything well it’s: drink caffeine really, really quickly.
   37. I can’t help but: be a caffeine addict.
   38. I usually cry: whenever I watch anything sad. I even cried at the end of Return Of The Jedi. Oh, dammit, Rachel! - *looks around* - You never told me that this was the INTERNET, and that people would be able to read this!!!!

   Edit: I never cry at anything, ever. I’m so unemotional that when Bambi’s mother died, I just wondered what kind of rifle the rifle the hunter was using. Phew, I obviously I got out of that one…

   39. My advice to my child/nephew/niece: never, ever, consider moving to the UK .
   40. And by the way: American Gothic (the series) is really underrated.

4. Rob Farrington Said,

   Oops, sorry about the extra “the rifle”s. That’s what happens whenever I try to comment before drinking caffeine first!

5. wRitErsbLock Said,

   LOL Rob! Thanks for playing along!
   shoot, you’re going to be married and in the States long before I can afford to fly to the UK and invite myself to sleep on your couch to avoid a hotel bill.
