Yes you did, you big cheater. "It's Saturday in China" indeed!
Anyhoo.... 1. What's your earliest memory? I don't remember. No, seriously; the earliest I can think back is pushing my sister in her pram down the street back towards the house, slipping and smashing my teeth on the bar of the pram (stroller, to you Americans). If she was a baby I must have been eight or so, but yeah, that's as far back as my memory will go. Oh no, wait: I remember there was some problem when she was born, so she had to go to a special incubator unit and I do recall being lifted up to see her through the glass. Maybe that's my earliest memory. Still about seven though. 2. Do you wear, or did you ever wear a watch? And I don't mean a ****ing Apple one! I'm old, so yes. Back then, it was the only way to tell time on the move, and getting your own watch was a real rite of passage. I think I wore one up to about 30/35 years of age, when I started just using my phone. 3. Beards: yay or nay? Yes if they suit you. I grew one once; it was a disaster. AFTER I shaved it off my workmates laughed that I had looked like a terrorist! They suit some people, don't suit others. Also, type matters. ****ing neckbeards! 4. Three countries you would like to visit, that you have not yet? USA I guess Italy to see Rome Australia though I have been to few countries anyway, and expect to get to no more. 5. Vinyl, CD or MP3? At the moment, MP3 as I don't really use CDs and even though I have an extensive vinyl collection I don't have a turntable anymore, so it's just shelf space now. MP3s are just so much handier to play. 6. One album you would never own or play, even if someone gave it to you for free? I like to think there's nothing I wouldn't give a try, even if I hated it. I would at least play it. Maybe.

1. What's your earliest memory?
i can remember most of my christmas mornings growing up, so probably one of those. i think i was 3 in the first one i remember, my parents bought me this big green pedal tractor and i never used it because it was like trying to move a 600 pound bike. 2. Do you wear, or did you ever wear a watch? And I don't mean a ****ing Apple one! for the longest time i did. i always break them though so eventually i retired the idea. i still think a nice gold watch improves any and every outfit. 3. Beards: yay or nay? definite yay even if i do have one of the worst beards ever. it'll come in some day guys, i swear. 4. Three countries you would like to visit, that you have not yet? England bc beauty, football, beer, and culture in general. think if i visited i wouldn't want to leave. Holland because of the food and the landscapes, I know a few people who have been and they seem to recommend it pretty highly. France because i would like to test my french in another country. plus they have the best looking women so i mean pourquoi pas? 5. Vinyl, CD or MP3? vinyl even though it's been months since i last bought. i wasted so much money on it last year than im considering selling a bit of my collection off to recoup some of the losses. 6. One album you would never own or play, even if someone gave it to you for free?[/QUOTE] i mean i'm sure there are a bunch of options here because i tend not to listen to music i know i won't enjoy, but there aren't many albums i hate.

I'll answer TH's set of questions in a bit.
What is your biggest purchase that you regretted? Recently-- a bunch of makeup that I ended up hating and not using. Lost the receipt. Describe your favourite school memory? My algebra teacher telling me I looked like Stevie Nicks. If you could live in any place in a film, where would it be? The underground palace in Pan's Labyrinth What is your favourite way to eat eggs (favourite cooking method/recipe)? Scrambled with cheese, onions, peppers and chorizo. Have you ever been addicted to anything? No. I don't have a very addictive personality. What is your favourite item of clothing you own? My red dress. (photo here. I look a bit fat at this angle and my arms look freakishly long but it's the only picture I can find) |

I'll do the Monkey dance, why not?
What is your biggest purchase that you regretted? SLR camera (Canon EOS Rebel T3) - thought I really needed it, turned out I never used it. It's still in its box. Describe your favourite school memory? I hated school. The only good thing about it was English and History, which I both enjoyed. I got out at 17 (18 is usual) If you could live in any place in a film, where would it be? Yeah, probably agree with the Matrix. What do you mean, that's where I'm already living? Hey! Let me out!!! What is your favourite way to eat eggs (favourite cooking method/recipe)? With my mouth, usually. Have you ever been addicted to anything? I don't have an addictive personality so no. I guess for a long time I was addicted to writing and opening journals. What is your favourite item of clothing you own? Nothing comes to mind. When I was younger I had two denim jackets I personally embroidered (shut up) - one was a representation of the cover of Born in the USA and the other mixed Iron Maiden and Marillion. They were cool, the moreso because I made them. *Bonus Question* Who is going to win - Mayweather or McGregor? Could not care less. I'm no fan of boxing, which I assume, perhaps wrongly, this to refer to?

1. What's your earliest memory?
Maybe coloring on a giant piece of paper on the floor of my grandparents' house? 2. Do you wear, or did you ever wear a watch? And I don't mean a ****ing Apple one! Probably some kinda Mickey Mouse watch as a kid, but never since. 3. Beards: yay or nay? Def yay. 4. Three countries you would like to visit, that you have not yet? 1. Japan, cause anime and Shinto shrines. 2. Italy cause Roman ruins and pizza. 3. I guess some quiet, tropical, Pacific island cause island time and beaches. 5. Vinyl, CD or MP3? MP3 cause I'm a cheap, lazy thief. 6. One album you would never own or play, even if someone gave it to you for free?[/QUOTE] Some latter day Pink Floyd album probably. I try not to prejudice myself completely on an artist or album.
