Baaaa! Baaaa! MeMe too!

[binidj]

Yes, it's that very long meme thing ... though I've dumped six of the questions (you won't miss them). Incidentally, this thing eats your life ... I should have made dinner an hour ago!

By the way, does anyone know any way of mapping the location I put on my LJ entries with a real location (as determined by me rather than some random search of the USA)?

(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

✓ I miss somebody right now.	✓ I don't watch much TV these days. (I tend to videotape specific shows/films and watch them at my leisure. It is very rare indeed that I watch live television.)	✓ I own lots of books. (I do indeed ... and I'm fast running out of places to put them.)
✓ I wear glasses or contact lenses. (I am supposed to wear glasses when using the computer or reading ... in reality I rarely do.)	✓ I love to play video games. (I love to play EverQuest, which is a video game ... it's the only one though.)	✓ I've tried marijuana. (I did a damn sight more than try it ... though I seem to have gone off it a bit of late.)
✓ I've watched porn movies. (Mind you, the sort of porn movies I enjoy are really quite difficult to get hold of.)	× I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship.	✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
✓ I curse sometimes. (All the fucking time.)	× I have changed a lot mentally over the last year.	× I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me. (When camping I always have my Swiss-Army knife on me ... mostly for opening alcohol containers.)
× I have broken someone's bones.	✓ I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal.	× I hate the rain. (I'm none too keen on drizzle, but if it's a real full-on downpour then I'm very fond of it.)
✓ I'm paranoid at times.	✓ I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar-free. (Whilst I am happy enough with my body, I'm realistic enough to know that it could be improved on (and I'm not talking about my weight))	✓ I need/want money right now. (Both actually, though the amount I need is rather less than the amount I want ... a lot less.)
✓ I love sushi. (Though not in the biblical sense.)	× I talk really, really fast.	× I have fresh breath in the morning. (I have breath like a scabby dog's ringpiece in the morning.)

✓ I have a lot of mood swings. (Although I tend to remain (or appear to remain)quite stable when in company.)	✓ I think prostitution should be legalized. (It needs to be legalised to protect those people who are not prostitutes voluntarily.)	✓ I slept with a roommate. (Slept, as opposed to "played hide-the-salami".)
× I have a hidden talent.	× I'm always hyper no matter how much sugar I have.	× I have a lot of friends. (I have a great many good acquaintances but very very few true friends.)
✓ I have pecked someone of the same sex. (I've done a damn sight more than pecked them.)	× I enjoy talking on the phone. (I'd much rather talk in person than over the phone, there are always too many distractions otherwise.)	× I practically live in sweatpants or PJ pants.

× I have changed a diaper before.	× I've called the cops on a friend before.	× I'm not allergic to anything. (I'm not allergic to much but penecillin does tend to bring me out in a quite uncomfortable rash.)

× I own the "South Park" movie.	× I have avoided assignments at work/school to be on Xanga or Livejournal.	✓ I enjoy some country music. (Not a great deal of it ... but some is rather good.)
× I would die for my best friends. (I am a dreadful coward ... this is not to say that I absolutely wouldn't die for my best friends, merely that it isn't a given.)	× I'm obsessive, and often a perfectionist.	× I have used my sexuality to advance my career. (Not that I'm above fucking my way to the top but I've never had the opportunity; and besides, I suspect that ship has sailed now.)
× I think Halloween is awesome because you get free candy. (I think Samhain is awesome, but for different reasons ... though I do like sweets.)	× I have dated a close friend's ex.	✓ I am happy at this moment. (I am happy, or more properly content, most of the time.)

× I spend ridiculous amounts of money on makeup.	✓ I plan on achieving a major goal/dream. (I plan on achieving all of my goals/dreams ... so far I'm not doing bad.)	× I am proficient on a musical instrument. (I wish, but I'm too lazy.)
× I hate office jobs. (I'm not a big fan ... but that's pretty much the only work I've ever done so it would be churlish to say I hated it.)	× I went to college out of state. (I went to college in London. Though I'm starting to get a hankering to do a degree somewhere now ... I just need to think of a subject.)	× I am adopted.

× I sleep with so many stuffed animals, I can hardly fit on my bed.	× If it weren't for having to see other people naked, I'd live in a nudist colony. (I'm pretty laid-back about the whole naked thing but I like clothes too much to be without them most of the time.)	× I have terrible teeth.
× I hate my toes.	✓ I did this meme even though I wasn't tagged by the person who took it before me. (I have a desperate need for attention.)	× I have more friends on the internet than in real life.

✓ Nobody has ever said I'm normal. (Or if they have, I don't recall it.)	✓ Sad movies, games, and the like can cause a trickle of tears every now and then. (I'm a complete sucker for tearjerkers.)	× I am proficient in the use of many types of firearms and combat weapons.

× I have travelled on more than one continent. (Nope, just Europe.)	× I sometimes wish my father would just disappear. (Given that he is dead, no. To be fair though, I don't often wish that he would appear.)	✓ I need people to tell me I'm good at something in order to feel that I am. (Honestly, I am so fucking needy.)

× I have no piercings.	✓ I have spent the night in a train station or other public place. (The last train out of Brighton used to be stupidly early and I quite often got stranded.)	✓ I have been so upset over my physical gender that I cried. (Well yes, but I was very very young at the time and was more upset that girls seemed able to do and wear far more than boys. To a large extent I think that's still true.)

× I find it impossible to get to sleep without some kind of music on.	× I dislike milk.	× I obsessively wash my hands.
× I always carry something significant around with me.	× Sometimes I'd rather wear a wig in day-to-day life than use my own hair. (Never! Occasional hairpiece use for effect is something I've toyed with, but never anything day-to-day ... in fact I quite frequently hold that sort of thing in contempt.)	× I've pushed myself to become more self-aware and thereby more aware of others.
× Even though I live on my own I still cry sometimes because I miss my mother.	✓ I hand wrote all the HTML tags in this document. (I just can't stand sloppy html.)	✓ I've liked something which a majority of people claimed was either bad or weird.

× I do not 'get' most comedy acts.	× I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing. (As far as I see it, there are two reasons for wanting to strip: (i) money or (ii) exhibitionism. I don't have a problem with either of these things but I do like to call a spade a spade.)	✓ I don't like to chew gum. (Never really seen the fascination with it ... except for *ahem* safety reasons.)

× I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up.	× I have a custom-built computer.	✓ I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it. (Well, it's not so much the creation of babies as the attempt to impregnate that I'm interested in. Though I really can't see Sean (or most of the others) agreeing to the attempt.)
× I would be in a relationship with one of my pets if they were human.	✓ I've gone skinny-dipping. (More often than not ... a lot more often than not.)	✓ I've performed in three plays. (Actually a damn sight more than three.)
✓ I enjoy burritos.	× I'm Irish and loving it.	× I have a thing for redheads.
× I am a twin!	× Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'. (Fun > intellectual stuff ... unless intellectual stuff = fun.)	× Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else. (I am such a butterfly.)
✓ I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes. (Gods yes!)	× I sleep more than 12 hours a day. (Sometimes this is true, but rarely ... my sleep pateerns are a rollercoaster.)	✓ I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough.
× I need more time to myself.	× I wish I was more open-minded.	× I hope that I go really prematurely grey. (I went really prematurely bald, I think I can live without being prematurely grey ... although this whole "premature" thing is becoming a bit of a moot point these days.)
✓ I download songs from the internet. (Occasionally, but not terribly often ... mostly I buy CDs.)	× I say random things to freak people out.	× I love playing Truth or Dare.
× I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it. (I'd rather sing to it than listen to it.)	× Music helps me remember that I am not alone.	× Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems.
× I prefer my LJ friends to my real-life ones.	× I can only hate someone that I love. (That's trite bollocks.)	× I've ordered an extra two shots of espresso to an Americano at Starbucks. (1. I've never been to Starbucks 2. I've never ordered an Americano 3. I have ordered two shots of espresso ... neat.)
