I sent a PM to Shameless with answers to her earlier questions that I didn't answer - apparently I was supposed to be celeb of the day until 10am, so I should still be there, and yet, weirdly enough, not only did I pass the honour on before I should have been off, Zoneace in turn tried to pass it on again before my time was up still! Anyway, shameless told me to post the answers anyway, so I will.
1. Who would I want in the bed beside me in hospital?
A. One of my best friends, I have One in mind in particular, but perhaps I'd prefer Liam Mower! I don't know him but I could get to know him/drive him insane!
2. Best moment in the past year...
A. Winning E2,200 at a science contest in London, the worst bit was finding out that the school got the money!
3. Something that would surprise you lot about me...
A. I can't tell because it would ruin the surprise! But I do have something.
4. House on fire... (grab)
A. My sister. She's quite small so she wouldn't make it out alone.
5. If you asked an important person in my life about me...
A. They'd say I'm ambitious, talkative, enthusiastic, and maybe over the top. All would be true.
6. What have you always wanted to do but have never done...
A. I can't say, this is a civilised conversation...
7. What's the last great gift I gave... and recieved...
A. Last gift I gave was , er, I actually can't remember, none of my gifts have been all that great, and the last great gift I recieved was Life, I haven't been given any great gifts since then, my family are all lousy gift givers!
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
