Gacked from someone, some time ago. I can't remember who and I can't remember when :)
1) What's on your bedside table?
A clock, tablets, a box of tissues, several books, one of those things with gloop in that you turn upside down and watch said gloop drop through a hole in the middle, a framed trading card of Jean-Luc Picard and Will Riker, furry handcuffs, a box of fake cat vomit and Hudson, my pet rock.
2) What's the geekiest part of your music collection?
Probably Brent Spiner's album, 'Ole Yellow Eyes Is Back'. Although, frighteningly, quite a bit of my music collection is geeky.
3) What do you eat when you raid the fridge at night?
Depends on if any shopping has been done and there's anything in the fridge to start with. If there is, then cheese strings. Bizarrely addictive.
4) What is your secret guaranteed weeping film?
I don't have one. However, put on 'Not To Be' (the final episode of Highlander) and show me Joe singing 'Stand By Me' and I'm gone. I can't watch that scene without crying.
5) If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done?
I wouldn't. If I had the money to be able to afford plastic surgery I've got a lot more things to spend it on than bigger boobs or a perkier nose.
6) Do you have a completely irrational fear?
Clowns. I hate the buggers with a vengeance.
7) What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moments?
That would be telling ;)
8) Do you ever have to beg?
Only when I want to *grin*
9) Do you have too many love interests?
Yes. But then again, don't we all.
10) Do you know anyone famous?
Know them as in have their phone number and class them as a friend/acquaintance? No.
11) Describe your bed:
A single bed with a lot of junk underneath it.
12) Spontaneous or a planner?
A bit of both.
13) Who should play you in a movie about your life?
Liv Tyler
14) Do you know how to play poker?
Stud or draw?
15) What do you carry with you at all times?
Purse, keys and a small green alien
16) How do you drive?
I don't.
17) What do you miss most about being average?
I miss nothing about being average, since I've never been average and therefore don't know what to miss :)
18) Are you happy with your given name?
I've always fancied something more unusual, but yeah, Claire kinda suits me.
19) What colour is your bedroom?
Blue - with a wall of frolicking penguins and polar bears. Hey, what can I say, I was 13 when it was last decorated ;)
20) What was the last song you were listening to?
The Calling - Unstoppable
21) Have you ever been in a school play?
Yes. But we'll skip over that with rapid and dizzying haste.
22) Have you ever been in love?
Depends on how you class love.
23) Do you like yourself and believe in yourself?
Absolutely.
24) Have you ever done any illegal drugs?
Nope. Done lots of the legal ones, though.
25) Do you think you're cute?
I'm fucking adorable.
26) Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
Depends. Generally, I'm nice, but piss me off enough and I'm the bitch from hell.
27) Do you spend more time with your girlfriend/boyfriend, or your friends?
Since I'm lacking in the SO department that would be, with my friends :)
28) If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?
Jupiter. Failing that, I always quite fancied one built into the side of a mountain.
29) What's your favourite type of clothing?
Jeans and a shirt. Stuff that's comfortable.
30) Favourite physical feature of the opposite sex?
Eyes. In both sexes.
31) What's the last CD that you bought?
Fallen by Evanescence.
32) Where's your favourite place to be?
Conventions.
33) Where's your least favourite place to be?
On a bus. Or a really crowded train if I don't have a seat.
34) What's your favourite place to be massaged?
I've never had a massage so I couldn't say. (Please note, any offers to relieve me of my massageless life will be seriously considered ;)
35) What's the most important: strong body or strong mind?
Strong mind, definitely.
36) What time do you wake up in the morning?
Weekdays - 7:30 for work. Weekend - whatever time I drag my sorry arse out of bed.
37) What's your favourite kitchen appliance?
I like knives. They're sharp and fun to play with.
38) What makes you really angry?
Bigotry. People who believe someone is inherently inferior to them because they are different in some way.
39) If you could play an instrument, what would it be?
Saxophone. I've always found there to be something inherently sexy about that instrument. What was the instrument I was given to learn at middle school? Violin. Cue much resemblance to a cat being slaughtered.
40) Favourite colour?
Black. And I'm ignoring the entire 'it's a shade and not a colour' thing.
41) Which do you prefer, sports cars or suv?
Don't have a preference. Since I can't drive it's not as if I'm going to buy either one.
42) Do you believe in the afterlife?
I'd like to, because I'd like to believe that we all go on after we die. However, part of me is also resigned to being nothing more than worm food.
43) Favourite children's book?
The Spooky Old Tree by Dr Suess.
44) What's your favourite season?
Anything that isn't summer.
45) What's your least favourite household chore?
'Household chore'? What are these words that you speak of?
46) If you could have one super-power, what would it be?
Control over the elements. 20 years of reading X-Men comics and I still think Ororo's power is too cool for words. Or celestial-scale teleportation - I'd save a fortune on train/plane fares.
47) Can you juggle?
Yes. If you give me less than two balls and don't expect me to be very good at it.
48) The one person from your past you could talk (dirty) once more to?
Pass *grin*
49) What's your favourite day?
Well, Monday has Smallville and is therefore of the good. But Friday means it's nearly the weekend, which is also of the good.
50) What's in the trunk of your car?
I can't drive, therefore I don't have a car. However, if I could drive, then my car would have a boot, not a trunk. Because it would be a car, and not an elephant.
51) Which do you prefer: sushi or hamburger?
Neither. Because generally, sushi involves fish and hamburgers involve cooked dead animal innards. And being a vegetarian both of those are of the bad. Although, apparently, sushi actually means 'with rice', so I guess with would be the sushi - the non-fish variety.
52) Favourite flower?
Roses, orchids and lilies
53) Why did you get an LJ?
Because Tem forced one onto me ;)
