1. WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?
My brand-new ONE SIZE SMALLER jeans (woo hoo!), turquoise "little miss sunshine" t-shirt and my dark green shrug.

2. WHAT COLOUR UNDERWEAR ARE YOU WEARING?
black

3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
I'm not actually - I was listening to Casting Crowns a short while ago though.

4. CAN YOU JUGGLE?
Yup!

5. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING U ATE?
Noodle soup with leeks and cantonese sauce ^__^ My speciality!

6. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON WHAT COLOUR WOULD YOU BE?
Green, most probably.

7. HOW IS THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW?
It's the first day that's actually been pleasant this year - sunny and warm(er). So, nice!

8. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
My friend Kathryn's dad.

9. WHAT THINGS YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Ummmm. I know this will sound bad but I usually don't notice anything about them unless they actually stop and talk to me. In a way, I guess the first thing I take in is how intelligent they are. That sounds bad ^__^ I'm not a snob, truly I'm not...

10. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON/PEOPLE WHO SENT YOU THIS?
Kira didn't send me this, but she's one cool Sesshy-lover. So yes!

11. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I would hope so!

12. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
OK. My throat's a bit sore though.

13. FAVOURITE NON ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
Hmmmm. Probably some type of juice, that's all I drink. That and Chinese tea.

14. FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
I don't ^__^;;

15. FAVOURITE LUNCH MEAT?
Lunch meat? You mean like those thin sliced things? Hmmm I don't really have a preference but I don't like beef all that much. Probably chicken or turkey.

16. FAVOURITE SPORTS?
I like volleyball and badminton, but only when playing it - I can't stand watching other people play.

17. HAIR COLOUR?
Red. It's changed from light to dark and back again constantly since I was born but it's a kind of light, slightly blonde-red now.

18. EYE COLOUR?
They're a slightly greyish pale turquoise colour.

19. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
No

20. PIERCING?
Don't have any.

21. STAR SIGN?
Gemini.

22. SIBLINGS AND THEIR AGES?
One brother, 25.

23. FAVOURITE MONTH?
Hmmmmm. I would say June as my birthday's in it, but then so are exams so I guess not. Probably July or August.

24. FAVOURITE FOOD?
Chinese *agrees with Kira on this one*

25. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
HP and the goblet of fire *and this one - got the DVD a few days ago*

26. WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS WEEKEND?
I'm going to a St. Patrick's Day party on Saturday (yes, I know it's late) and then Church on Sunday.

27. FAVOURITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
Probably Christmas. Yes, Christmas. But I do like Christmas Eve better than Christmas Day, as I love carols and trees and lights and nativity plays better than I like presents.

28. WHY?
Because presents don't make the holiday, no matter what big businesses say.

29. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS BETTER?
I hate scary movies too - don't see the point to be honest.

30. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Now this one's difficult. In Winter, I'll moan about the cold wind and ice and snow and flu, and wish it was Summer so I don't have to wear a coat. In Summer, I'll squint and complain about the sun being too bright, exams, assignment deadlines and having nothing to do, and look forward to wearing thick jumpers and coats. You really can't win with me.

31. HUGS OR KISSES?
Hugs, for me.

32.RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS?
What kind of question is that? The answer's obvious. Even those who would truthfully choose the latter wouldn't admit it.

33. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?
Depends. I don't like chocolate ice cream but I do like chocolate.

34. DO YOU WANT YOUR FRIENDS TO WRITE BACK?
If they want to ^__^

35. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
I don't know?

36. WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Aargh these questions in a quiz like this are pretty pointless.

37. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING NOW?
Hmmmm. Good question. Several, so I'm glad it says "books". I'm currently reading "Anime: from Akira to Howl's Moving Castle" by Susan Napier, "A Pale View of Hills" by Kazuo Ishiguro and Hokkaido Highway Blues by William Ferguson. And only now do I realise how odd it is that all three are Japanese-themed.

38. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
I don't have one. Don't need one, I have a laser mouse.

39. FAVOURITE BOARD GAME?
Hmmmm. There was one we played when I went to a friend's house last year, Cranium or somesuch. That was fun. Otherwise, Monopoly probably. Uno isn't a board game but I like that too.

40. WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT?
Hmmmm. Well I was out most of the day with Nam Nam and came home about 5 or 6 so I think I just stayed in and watched Harry Potter - nothing too memorable, I can't say exactly.

41. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
Go back to sleeeeeep... get uuuuppppppp... constantly for about 10 minutes, before I eventually get up. Though, "morning" is a relative term for me.

42. EVOLUTION OR CREATION?
Hmmmmmm. Now the meanings that I take from both of those words is probably different to the meanings intended by placing them in this quiz. I'm a Christian, so I believe in creation of course, but I believe evolution is part of creation. So it's not really a good either-or question for me (and a pretty daft one if you ask me; they aren't polar opposites at all).

Happy New Year to all those celebrating ^__^ Have a good one!

I'm going to the celebrations in Newcastle tomorrow, and it's the first Chinese New Year party I'll have been to, so I'm excited! ^__^;;

Heyas,

Wow it's been a long time since I last posted in here, hasn't it? ^__^;; I figured it was about time to break the silence. Did you all have a good holiday? Mine was pretty boring and plagued with flu and sickness (four times) and other nasties (namely, one very badly sprained ankle just before Christmas which still isn't back to normal). Christmas was far more interesting, with carol singing with the YPF and my friends Liz and Alice over for Christmas lunch.

To be honest at the moment I feel a bit out of the loop, a bit helpless, as I've been off uni more or less since mid-November for different reasons and as a result missed way too many lectures, and time to do my assignments. Which still remain undone, but as one's an experimentation/scrapbook type of assignment which I should have done stuff every week for, and the other required going out looking for special paper and getting stuff cut out and actually KNOWING what I was meant to be doing... *sigh* I can't even get an extension, as the doctor won't give me a note for something I haven't got - and I didn't go when I was ill (for pretty obvious reasons). I guess all I can do is pray about it - hopefully, things will right themselves.

I also have Chinese exams at some point, I think next week.

Anyway, I uploaded a wallpaper created out of my assignment "experimentations" which I was pretty pleased with, and finally tidied up that Arwen vector.

Hehe, I was tagged by and so I have to list 20 things you guys probably don't know about me, and tag three other people. He was so nice in tagging me that I had to oblige

You know what?

I think that there's an awful lot of irony in my life. I came back from a trip on Sunday, during which I was lectured on certain books that "Christians should not read" (which include LoTR and Harry Potter) by a guy three times my age and clearly in his own fantasy world, to start back at uni and catch the flu on the first day of lectures. Ironic doesn't begin to describe my life at the moment. I'm a bit glum also because if I'm not much better, I won't be able to go to the Freshers Fair tomorrow and I want to sign up for the badminton club Plus, I offered my help to the CU (Christian Union) before I got flu and if they phone me asking for help I'll have to turn them down. And to top it all, every time I sneeze (often), it goes EVERYWHERE. On a totally unrelated note, I cleaned my computer screen today.
