1. Never in my life have I been: caught with my pants down in a public place.

2. The one person who can drive me nuts is: my brother. He’s slowly becoming adult means he doesn’t do it as often but, oh man, he knows how to do it…

3. High school was: a very unique experience.

4. When I’m nervous I: become really, really calm – on the outside.

5. The last song I listened to was: More by Carpark North [I’m a little addicted to it right now…]

6. If I were to get married right now my best man/maid of honor: deadra.

7. My hair is: living by its own rules. We cooperate. Mostly.

8. When I was 5: I wanted to be a vet.

9. Last Christmas: I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away.

10. I should be..: probably going to bed right now.

11. When I look down I see: my legs and the floor.

12. The happiest recent event was: Just tonight, I was sitting at a table with a few friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen in quite a while and we talked and laughed and caught up and laughed and made plans and laughed.

13. If I were a character on ‘Friends’ I would be: Uhm… a mix between Chandler and Ross?

14. By this time next year: I’ll hopefully be as good as I am right now.

15. My current gripe is: [Man, I actually have to think about this. That’s how good my life is.] That I’m almost blind. Seriously, I just got new glasses and without them, I wouldn’t trust myself to cross a road…

16. I have a hard time understanding: many things. Why there’s so much stupidity in the world. Why people react with fear when they encounter new things instead of with curiosity. And so much more.

17. There’s this girl I know that: has a twin sister who is abroad at the moment while she herself doesn’t even consider leaving Austria.

18. If I won an award, the first person I would tell would be: Depends on what the award is for. I mean, it would probably be my mum unless it’s some kind of award she has no idea of (say, I won a Hugo [yeah, I know, I wish] – my mum wouldn’t know what that is), then I’d probably go with deadra.

19. Take my advice: Forget the golden rule: don’t treat people like you want to be treated. Live by the platinum rule: treat people like they want to be treated.

20. The thing I want to buy: Have you looked at my amazon wishlist? [kalafudra: always accepting gifts from kind strangers.] I have like a million different things I want. But if we’re talking big things, I’d love a new laptop since my old one is, well, old. And the keyboard is broken. And my netbook is rather small.

21. If you visited the place I was born: Oh, I’m sure you’d find things to do in Vienna.

22. I plan to visit: I’ve been talking with * about Iceland and with deadra about London. It all depends on my finances, which depends on me getting a job sometime soon.

23. If you spent the night at my house: I hope that you feel at home. And you’d have to share a bed with me.

24. I’d stop my wedding if: hard question. Excepting some kind of emergency (medical, the place’s on fire, etc), I don’t think I would stop my wedding for anything. I mean, I don’t want to get married per se, so if I would be convinced to do it anyway, I would be really convinced.

25. The world could do without: war, hunger, rape, abuse, injustice – there are many things the world could do without.

26. I’d rather lick the belly of a cockroach than: kiss my brother (and I mean really kiss, not just a peck on the cheek).

27. Most recent thing I’ve bought myself: 2 picture frames, big ones, for my next jigsaw puzzle projects. [yes, yes, I know, I’m a geek.]

28. Most recent thing someone else bought me: I just celebrated my birthday with my family and I got a couple of books, a ticket to Hollywood in Vienna: A Tribute to Howard Shore (a film music concert), a hat (it’s orange and has paw prints. It was made for me) and a new DVD player.

29. My favorite blonde is: Christian Bale. [I’m talking sexual attraction.]

30. My favorite brunette is: Jake Gyllenhaal (though that changes more often).

31. My favorite red head is: Cate Blanchett. [yep, still talking sexual attraction.]

32. My middle name is: Lisa.

33. In the morning I: wake up, shower, brush my teeth. Not necessarily in that order.

34. The animals I would like to see flying besides birds are: Dragons.

35. Once, at a bar: I ordered a drink and got it and then I drank it and then I paid and then I went home.

36. Last night I was: reading a crappy vampire book.

37. There’s this guy I know who: I sometimes think of as the “one who got away” even though we never had a relationship to speak of.

38. If I was an animal I’d be: My standard answer to this is a wolf but I haven’t changed it since I was 15 or so. Nowadays it might be more of a dog. Or a mosquito.

39. A better name for me would be: I like my name just fine. And I do think it fits me.

40. Tomorrow I am: hearing about a possible new job.

41. Tonight I am: finishing this meme, then going to bed.

42. My birthday is: too far away again. Even though I sometimes panic about my age, I like celebrating my birthday just fine.
