Some meme or other.

[rhythmaning]

Another meme. I think this one came from cornaid, but I could be wrong.

• How old are you?
  Forty six. it seems hard to believe, but it is true.
  
  
• What did you want to be when you were 14?
  An astronomer, probably; maybe a biologist. A scientist, certainly.
  
  
• What's your best childhood memory?
  Best in what way? There are many; and even the not-so-good ones are good because of the people in them.
  
  
• What age did you leave home?
  Nineteen, when I went to university.
  
  
• Have you ever been married?
  Yes, once. (And I still am!)
  
  
• If you could live any where you could choose, where would you want to live?
  Edinburgh, in the flat I live in.
  
  
• Who was your first best friend?
  I think she was called Penny; we were five.
  
  
• Who was you're first real kiss and how old were you?
  Kate. I was sixteen or seventeen.
  
  
• How did you celebrate your 18th or 21st birthday?
  I can’t remember my eighteenth birthday. For my nineteenth, it was spent with my best mate in a Parisian youth hostel eating French bread and jam, and drinking (cheap) red wine. We had been in Israel, and decided to get off in Paris to explore it for a few days.
  
  My twenty-first was spent with loads of friends at home; I cooked roast pork, the first time I had done this. It was a lot of fun.
  
  My flatmates at university had given me a surprise party on the last day of term, though I think I found out about so it wasn't much of a surprise. Which was good - I have never really liked surprise parties. I nearly didn't turn up, but it was fun. Paul, who is now a theatre director and playwright (actually, that is more or less all he did back then, too), had drawn me reading "On the Road", and he made this into a collage, which he gave me as a present; I still have it, somwhere.
  
  
• What is your favourite conspiracy theory?
  It doesn’t matter, they’ll get me before I tell you!
  
  
• Tell me what you think of your current government in no more than five words?
  A bunch of no-hope crooks.
  
  
• Is there any significant reason for your middle name?
  I have two; they are both family names.
  
  
• What is your favourite way to spend your free time?
  Eating, drinking, talking, reading, listening to music. Often all at the same time
  
  
• If you could travel through time where would you choose to travel to and why?
  There are a lot of times it would be interesting to see. Maybe New York in the fifties; or renaissance Florence.

Roast port?

You should try some time.

OK, smarty pants. Pork.

Now I'll have to correct it. Grrrr!

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

Although there are other things in there that I'd have imagined you questionning! Perhaps I should always throw in a typo just to cloud the trail...

The main ones are 'what are your middle names' and 'do you really do all those things at the same time' and is no-hope one word or two?

1. ***** *******; ***** is a first-name version of my maternal grandmother's maiden name: since she only had surviving daughters (a son dying in childhood), it was a way of keeping the name going. ******* is given to all the men in my paternal line; it was my father's middle name, and is my brother's first name; it was adopted when two family lines came together - a long while ago.

2. I have eaten, drunk, read and listened to music at the same time (though not simultaneously - eating and drinking simultaneously would be a bit messy); and I have eaten, drunk, talked and listened to music at the same time.

3. No hope? No-hope.

When I first met the fourteen-year-old stepson of A. M., who was probably the most unlikely casualty of the November Massacre (TM), his opening line was 'oh, you're the person who can talk and text and type and read and do the crossword all at the same time!'.

I suppose there are worse epitaphs.
