Meme

2006-07-20T22:18:00.000-07:00

So, this meme thing - I've had a couple emailed to me, but I've been far too busy not-working to answer them. It's a good way for stalkers to find out useless information about you, and for friends to be surprised how much they didn't know about you. Here's my answers to the last one I was sent for all to see. Feel free to steal and add your own answers, then post it in the comments for this post...

FIRST NAME? Lisa
AGE? 27
HAIR COLOUR? Brown/blonde
EYE COLOUR? Grey/blue
WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes. Shortly after I was born, the nurses sang Nat King Cole's 'Mona Lisa' to me. The name stuck, though I hope I'm not a moaner anymore.
WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Last night. See previous posts for reasons why.
DO YOU WISH ON STARS? Yes, every night.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yeah, when I'm not scribbling indecipherable phone messages for colleagues, it's quite neat.
WHAT IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON YOUR SHELF? I still own all the East 17 albums. And yes, I still know all the words to their songs.
ARE YOU A DAREDEVIL? Everyday, but in secret.
HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER? It's very rare for me to get angry, I look at life so light-heartedly. I'm more likely to be frustrated with, rather than angry with someone/something.
KIDS? Nope, but I have a nephew who I'm going to be godmother to. Hopefully I'll be a mum some time soon - I'm getting on a bit.
IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Probably not, unless I was another geek.
DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY? Far too easily. Though after getting my fingers burned a couple of times, I'm becoming more sceptical.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE TOY AS A CHILD? Crystal Barbie and Ken with glow in the dark clothes.
WHAT CLASS IN SCHOOL DO YOU THINK IS TOTALLY USELESS? General Studies A-Level. Though it did bump the UCAS points up a bit.
DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL? Erm... Yes. This is it.
DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? I never use sarcasm. I am the most wittiest person I know ;P
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yep
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? I would probably plan to, then think up some ridiculous reason for not jumping.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Shreddies with Smarties
DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Nope. But that's because I don't own shoes with laces. Except for my trainers. Which I never wear. But I should.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Haagen Dazs strawberry cheesecake
SHOE SIZE? 5/6 - I've got one a whole size bigger than the other. Feet.
RED OR PINK? Pink.
WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? My obsession with losing weight while eating a whole pack of Jammy Dodgers in front of the TV.
LAST THING YOU ATE? Jammy Dodger. Just one this evening.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? Me clicking on the keyboard answering these questions.
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? The letting agent for the house I'm viewing in the morning.
THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO? Sense of humour.
DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? She's ok. I wouldn't mess with her though.
DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No, but I wear specs.
FAVORITE FOOD? That's such a difficult question to answer... I like most things. Except carrots. So... everything except carrots.
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDING? Scary at the moment, for some bizaare reason. I've never liked scary films. In fact, I've never been on a ghost train without closing my eyes all the way through. But now I can cope...
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? The Da Vinci Code on the cinema; Saw 2 on TV.
HUGS OR KISSES? Hugs. There's nothing like them. There's a lot you can get from a hug that you don't get from a kiss. Though you can't beat the feeling you get when you kiss someone for the first time. But remember kids, kisses spread germs.
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? Not many people know I play the flute. And not in an American Pie way.
DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? If they want to, but if they're anything like me, they'll think it's a pile of useless rubbish but fill it out and send it on anyway. Because you just can't not.
