Kvestions
1. Do you still know/talk to the person you lost your virginity to?
No, haven't seen them in years.
2. What would you do with 1,000 plastic spoons?
Do you mean an additional 1,000 plastic spoons?
3.What kind of music did you listen to in elementary school?
I remember that I lived through such a period...
But I can't say I clearly remember the music. I remember listening to more spoken word stuff than music, of my own volition.
4.What is the best thing about your current job?
Books!
5.Do you wish cell phone etiquette was a required class upon purchasing one?
A little, but it's one of those "if I ruled the world" things. Too hard to get people to agree on what's appropriate an inappropriate informally, let alone codifying it into some manner of classes.
That said, put it on silent in the library, bitches.
6.Are you against marriage?
Historically, somewhat. But not really.
7. Why?
For the usual "treating women as property" reasons. Also because, just as I don't feel a need for a piece of paper to tell me I'm smart, I don't need a piece of paper to tell me I'm in love.
However, I AM in favour of celebrating being in love and publicly declaring commitment to that love. Also cake, food, music, dancing, dressing up and good company who are present to show their support.
8. What's the most fucked up food combination you've come up with that's actually tasty?
*shrug* I can't really think of anything so odd as to be noteworthy.
I eat the tops off strawberries, though, if that helps.
9. Have you been on a date in the past week? (or just slept with anyone?)
I probably wouldn't have called it a date, but sure, I think it counts.
10. If yes... how did it go, if no, why not?
It was magical. I loved every minute of it.
11. Where are you going on your next vacation?
My holiday house. For my Birthday! Hurrah!
12. Quote a song lyric, because I told you to!
"This song is gonna make a great video
It's gonna be so cool
We're gonna break stuff in slow-mo,
Throw things into a pool
What's the purpose?
What's the point?
We don't really know
Just like the torches,
Cue the pigeons and
Let the midget GO!"
13. Are most of the friends in your life new or old?
I've known a fair few of my friends for a while now. Some of my very good friends (
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
andrewaskew, I'm lookin' at you)I've known since early high school (~12 years). Some of my other very close friends (juliadactyl, for instance), I've only known during this century. :)14.Would you rather lose an arm or an eye?
Hmm, I've not often pondered losing only one eye.
I'd probably prefer an eye, because, while I have a habit of doing things one-handed even when it's not really necessary, I think I'd be better able to cope with loss of stereoscopic vision.
Also, I don't think anyone would be thrown much by me wearing an eye-patch. :)
15. Do you own any furniture from Ikea?
Furniture: No, I don't think I do. I've bought a number of things from there, but all the things that I bought for me are utensils.
16. Are you ashamed of having it?
I just said I didn't. Weren't you listening?
17. What do you wish someone would buy you?
A pony!
Wait, no, probably a new computer (oh, poor computer. You are so weary).
Possibly a palmtop would be cool.
There's other, littler stuff, but this is the stuff that a quiz wants to hear.
18. What do you think of hipsters?
I have nothing against them. It's when people have their underwear at waist height while wearing them that they look stupid.
19. What are you wearing right now?
Black trackpants, a purple business shirt (I threw it back on when I got up) and Tigger socks.
20. When is the last time you had mom's home cooking?
Yesterday evening.
21. Do you like your parents?
Yes.
23. What state/country are you from?
NSW/Australia
24. Do you ever wish you were gay/straight?
No.
25. Tell us about the last conversation you had.
Online: I was talking to Julia about her plans for doing education by distance and my drooling over these rental cottages.
In person: That's a private matter, that I shan't disclose.
26. Where do you see yourself in one month?
Getting ready to go to work, thinking about being three days out from six months with my favourite lady.
27. What is your favorite smell?
As with a lot of things, I'm not sure I HAVE a favourite smell. I like vanilla, lavender, jasmine and citrus, off the top of my head.
28. Home Depot: pure evil or pure genius?
Is there any difference?
29. Do you consider yourself bi-polar?
No, I have multiple views on most things, so raging ups and downs are rare.
It's the things on which I have fewer conflicting opinions that I find important. If I have a crippling inactivity balance between multiple views, I probably care about something. If I feel certainty, I know I REALLY care.
30. What is the time and the outside temperature at the moment?
1:54, don't know the temperature.
*looks out the window*
Probably mid-20s?

It's driving me crazy
It's so strange
I can't believe it feels just like I'm
Falling for the first time"

so in fact you are in favour of weddings, rather than marriage...
no subject
That said, I'm against many of the historical implications of marriage. Primarily the way that it's been used to control people (women, mostly, but men at times, too) and how it's oft been about a family alliance/contract, instead of about love.
I don't think that signing something is anywhere near as important as wanting to be with the other person for the rest of one's life. My point is that I think the legality/religious components are far secondary to the couple's declarations themselves; that I want you to be with me always and that I am yours, completely.
If that's what both people are saying, then I'm for it.
If they're signing papers in order to make things "official", because they feel they're somehow obligated, I'm not.
In such matters, the heart rules far over any governmental or church institution. I don't care for their opinion as to whom I may love.
That is my point.
