This week’s Thursday Thunk questions were all dreamed up by people who participated in last week’s thunk – so here goes:
- What is your favourite type of soda? Ginger beer.
- Do you believe in astrology?What does your sign say about you? Not really but I know that I an Aquarian, unconventional, intellectual and some other stuff I can’t remember. And people apparently shouldn’t lend me money (according to my Garfield Aquarius Zodiac mug)
- Who is John Galt? No idea.
- What is the last thing you do before you go to sleep at night? Sigh with relief – I’m lying down at last.
- Who’s your Daddy? A very good question…..
- Jelly beans or Jelly Bellies? Jelly babies.
- What do you think about yellow car? Don’t drive so don’t really care, but I suppose it depends on the shade of yellow…..
- Holding on or letting go? Both at the same time, I am nothing if not contradictory.
- What kind of underwear, if any, do you wear? Nope, not going near that one.
- Who is your daddy and what does he do? An even better question than 5.
- Spring – is it here yet? It was until yesterday……
- Does Google Streetview scare you? Not really; all those surveillance cameras do though….
- What is your favourite brand of ice cream? No preference.
- What is your favourite flavour of ice cream? Raspberry ripple.
- Do you ever get tired of your everyday routine? Occasionally, but routines can be comforting as well.
- What inspires you? Other people.
- It’s springtime – do you spend more time outdoors? I’m just not an outdoor kind of girl.
- When do you think Bud will let us see the DVD of him and the French Twins? Who is Bud??
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you and why?A large house somewhere in Perthshire, because it’s a beautiful part of Scotland.
- Why do you blog? Because I can.
- What are electrolytes and why are they good for us? Too technical for me.
- Do you twitter? If not why not? No; I have an addictive personality and would end up twittering all day long.
- What did you dream last night? No idea.
- What is the strangest thing you’ve eaten? I tend to shy away from strange food, but a lot of my friends deplore my taste for haggis.
- What was the last picture that you took? St Mirren Park, 31 January, first football match in the new stadium (there’s even a post)
- What is your favourite part of the spring? The first day I don’t need a coat. Hasn’t quite happened yet. Oh and cherry blossom.
- What is the one thing you did this week that no-one knows about? That would be telling.
- What kind of bandages do you typically have in your household? None.
Off work suffering from a really bad cold again which serves me right for thinking that Spring had arrived and not wrapping up warmly enough…
So here we go:
- The last flight of stairs you walked up/down – were they carpetted? – Oh yes, living in a town house my life is all stairs and they definitely have carpets.
- Green or purple grapes? – Both, whichever is sweeter at the time.
- Do you like Peeps? – I’m Scottish, I don’t think I know what they are so will have to investigate…..
- The smell of Vicks – like it? It’s one of the few things keeping me going at the moment, so a definite yes
- Do you put decorative cling-ons on your windows for different holidays? Absolutely not.
- Finish the sentence – I spent too much money on _______? My handbag collection
- Which celebrity should be flown into outer space or placed on a desert island? I don’t think I care enough to choose – besides, who am I to judge – I can be fairly annoying myself
- Would you support schools changing the “open” time? Such as 10am – 5pm for example? Don’t have children so no opinion on this one
- Do you go fishing? No, I try to stay away from anything that wriggles as I suspect a fish on a hook would
- What question should we ask next week? Spring – is it here yet??
They pick a subject and I interpret it how I want. So this week…
- You are walking down the road and you look down. There is a bug. Do you step on it? – No, absolutely not, bad karma.
- What is one fantasy that you want to come true more than any other? – No, you aren’t going to get me to admit that, not in polite company anyway….
- Someone knocks on your door. Do you look out the window to see who it is before you open it? Do you open it regardless of who it is? – Well our door is at the side of our town house and the accessible windows are at the front, so I either entirely ignore the doorbell and have a sneaky look as they’re walking away, or I go downstairs to open what is a glass door, so by that time they’ve seen me too and I can’t get away with anything other than opening it. But mostly I just hide in an antisocial way.
- Have you ever eaten Play Doh? – No but my brother has (he’s 41 now so I can say these things without fear of retribution)
- What was your favourite Saturday morning cartoon as a child and why? – Tom and Jerry, closely followed by Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck; I liked the absurdity.
- Are you a “people watcher”? – Oh yes….. and I have the restraining orders to prove it.
- I have a bowl of fruit. There are apples, oranges and pears. You help yourself to one – which one do you choose? – Apples every single time. Pears at a pinch. Never oranges; I don’t like the texture.
- What is your pet peeve in the blogging world? – All the shorthand stuff – YMMV, for example, but mostly LOL – yes definitely LOL. I’m the kind of person who writes text messages in full sentences with proper punctuation.
- What is one religion that you could just never see yourself joining? Any of them.
- What word do you use far too often? – Cool
- How long do you spend in the shower? – Depends on how slow and tired I am but probably 15 minutes; it’s a good place to think about work.
- If you were to write a personal ad about yourself what would it say? – A variation on the profile in my sidebar (presumably without the happily married bit) but honestly I can’t see myself doing it at all.
- Your favourite flavoured soup is – carrot & butterbean, closely followed by pea & ham – Baxters, obviously.
- You are sitting on a bench in the park and a bug walks in front of your feet …. do you squash him? – In the unlikely even that I noticed him at all (because I’d probably have my nose in a book) I would let him be – see the bad karma thing mentioned above.
