Yet another survey. Blame Nattie.
If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why? T'Egypt. I'd have to be alone, and I'd have to have some kind of unrestricted pass to all the ancient sites, so that I could go and have a good shufty.
Have you ever done crossword puzzles? Yes, like Nattie I used to suck at the cryptic ones, but now I can generally get them. I've only ever done the ones in the Daily Mail though, as that's the only paper my mum buys and I refuse to fund the maelstrom of crap that is Fleet Street.

Can you sing? Yep.
Do you ever sing to yourself while doing everyday tasks? All the time, especially driving.

How many surveys have you filled out this lifetime? Too many.

Which movie can you watch and say the lines along with the actors? Star Wars, Top Gun, Ghostbusters.
Name one of your passions in life. Sleep.
What's your least favorite time of day? That little bit of morning you only notice when you wake up before your alarm. If you're me, that's all the time.

Ever listen to classical music? Yes. Generally more contemporary classical music though.
Have you ever said 'lol' in real life without thinking about it? I've started to, but caught myself in time.

Write one sentence stating what you want people to say about you after you've passed on "O, Lord Orinoco, bless your faithful disciples, that they may attain your grace and favour"

Name something you've done in the last 24 hours no matter how big or small: I made some cheese sandwiches.
Do you wear necklaces, bracelets, anklets, earrings, rings? I have three rings that I wear all the time. I also have a silver chain around my neck. That's it.
What's on your computer desk? Monitor, speakers, webcam, cable modem, joypads, scanner, keyboard and mouse (obviously) and a glass that used to have coke in it, up until about 5 minutes ago.
When you're talking do you ever use your hands to do quotation marks in the air when saying certain words? Not if I can help it. It does sometimes slip out though.
Do you think you're pretty? Are you kidding me? I'm a mess.
