I have never seen "Pride and Prejudice", aside from a few clips! I really need to see that. Did you see The King's Speech, Erica? I thought he was so wonderful in that film.

Oh yes, I can imagine enjoying java and mocha around "that time of the month." I usually like something sweet, although today I just had two bowlfuls of corn chips with ketchup

which isn't something I'd ever crave at other "times of the month." My hypothesis is that my body wants to fatten up, must in case the extra calories were needed for a bambino...which they won't be.

Yes, I *did* see The King's Speech! Colin Firth has this sweet dignity and wounded quality about him that always inspires my sympathy. You should definitely watch "Pride and Prejudice" if you liked him in The King's Speech:

^ Doesn't he show adoration well with just one look??

The heroine is called Liz, so you can imagine he's pining over YOU.

Erica, your hypothesis actually makes a lot of sense! But no, no more bambinos for us (which makes me kind of sad, though. I think I have hyperactive maternal hormones.) I get a kick out of your breakfasts!

He sure does! Half the women in these English historical dramas are named Elizabeth.

I'll take up the queries, I suppose.

1. If you could have dinner with anyone of your choice, who would it be?

2. What is one album that you cannot live without?

3. What was the last concert that you went to?

4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
5. What is your pet peeve?

6. Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?

1. If you could have dinner with anyone of your choice, who would it be?

Dinner as in a date? Idk, nobody. I don't particularly idolise any celebrities., sure I fancy some but altogether I ouldn't date a celebrity. Maybe this girl I am interested in IRL. Dinner as in just dinner? Someone interesting.....like Michael Gira or Shakespeare or that bloke off of Man Vs. Food....

2. What is one album that you cannot live without?

London Calling.

3. What was the last concert that you went to?

Two Door Cinema Club, Tribes, Metronomy and Azaelia Banks. Not the best bands in the world but it was a fun night!

4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?

Extrovert. I enjoy being social.

5. What is your pet peeve?

Being spoken to like a child. Nothing annoys me more.

6. Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?

I don't know, I am agnostic and I think there is something, just not sure what. I'd like to believe we are reincarnated.

Thank God, I'm fed up with coming up with my own crappy questions every week.

1. If you could have dinner with anyone of your choice, who would it be?
If that means "date" like James put, I'd go for Robin Wright. Even though she was at her best 30 years ago.
2. What is one album that you cannot live without?
Definitely "Sticky Fingers" by the Rolling Stones. Because they were so popular, no one gives a shit these days about how jaw dropping this album is.
3. What was the last concert that you went to?
That would be Wildfire at the Manchester Academy.
4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
I'm definitely an introvert as the test Burning Down posted showed... I'm quite a quite person in really life and I take ages over decisions that most people make impulsively.
5. What is your pet peeve?
I really really hate it when people around me don't use deodorant. I can't tell them, but at the same time is is thoroughly repulsive if the random guy sitting next to me on the train hasn't cleaned himself properly. I can't do anything about it, but I can't live with it.
6. Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?
I really am starting to become agnostic about this. On the one hand I've been told that we should look forward to it all our lives, but on the other hand this depends on a faith I don't have, because I've never had any reassurance of it. Personally, I hope that one day I will laugh about having thought this.

1. If you could have dinner with anyone of your choice, who would it be?

Morena Baccarin, because she is perfect.

Edit: I would love to have a meal with Adam Richman (Man vs Food)

2. What is one album that you cannot live without?

Aso of now, Kendrick Lamar - Section.80 just because I play it so often.

3. What was the last concert that you went to?

I watched a Smiths tribute act recently.

4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?

It depends. In social situations, I am certainly an extrovert, but I can go months without speaking to my friends and I couldn't care less about it.

5. What is your pet peeve?

People who start getting off the train when their stop is called, even though it means they will have to stand up and wait for a few minutes. Why don't they wait for the train to stop? Instead of crowding the exit like a bitch of cretins.

6. Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?

No.

1. If you could have dinner with anyone of your choice, who would it be?
William Gibson

2. What is one album that you cannot live without?
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

3. What was the last concert that you went to?
Dweezil Zappa

4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert

5. What is your pet peeve?
everything

6. Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?

Yes. The way I describe the afterlife is as a reflection of our existence within the memories of those capable of remembering us after we've left them behind. So if you've done good and left positive impressions on others then when they remember your life in a positive light you continue to live within heaven. If they remember you negatively you continue to burn in hell. Once the significance of your individual existence no longer weighs within the conscious mind of others then you move beyond individual existence and into the light of eternal life (or something - for lack of better terms).

LoathsomePete · 03-10-2012, 12:11 PM

1. If you could have dinner with anyone of your choice, who would it be?

Warren Ellis (the writer).

2. What is one album that you cannot live without?

City (1997) by Strapping Young Lad. It is an album that never fails to make me feel better if I'm sad or angry.

3. What was the last concert that you went to?

Dessa, Sims, and Lazerbeak back in May of 2011. Good show, crummy venue and night. Wednesday night in the middle of finals week, hardly an audience there.

4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?

Introvert.

5. What is your pet peeve?

People telling me to smile, or really people telling me how to feel. Tell me how to feel and I will punch you in the throat.

6. Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?

I don't believe in an afterlife.

CanwllCorfe · 03-10-2012, 12:14 PM

6) Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?
I haven't died before, so it's hard to say. Maybe someone who's had lazarus syndrome would give a better answer. If there was one I imagine it's really hazy and oneiric, with a lot of coming and going.

**Janszoon** · 03-10-2012, 12:41 PM

1. If you could have dinner with anyone of your choice, who would it be?
Betty White, while she's still around. That woman is hilarious.

Kill Me Tomorrow—The Garbageman and the Prostitute

3. What was the last concert that you went to?
Scratch Acid.

4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
Most people who know me in the real world think I'm an extrovert, but I think I have some very strong introvert tendencies too.

5. What is your pet peeve?
People who litter.

6. Do you believe in any afterlife? If so, what do you believe (or hope) it's like?
No, but it sure would be nice to see my grandparents again.
