Religion of Self

For the benefit of those who don't know what makes me tick, I will now fill out an email questionnaire. Have mercy.

What is your name? Snookie to friends, Grant to my mum

Birthday: 22 July 1983. Get me a harmonica this year.

Shoe size: 10? 11? I dunno, whatever one fits.

What colour knickers or pants are you wearing right now? Black trousers, how tough of me. Communist underpants for those interested.

What makes you special? A devilish mixture of cynicism and optimism.

What are you listening to right now? PJ Harvey - "The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore". Although I should really lie and say I'm listening to something like The Velvet Underground or The Stone Roses so I seem hip.

If you were a crayon, what colour would you be? Purple. When I went to primary school, they were always the rarest when it was picture time. Although splitzoid crayons were even rarer, mainly because they didn't and
don't exist.

Where do you plan to go on your honeymoon? Jamiaca is where I want to go, but it's no major deal to me. After all, Jamaica will still be there after the divorce...

If u were a chocolate bar you would be? Not a bar, but I'd be an M&M. They have great personality.

I wish I looked like: Tyler Durden (Fight Club). Someone told me the other day that I did look like him, but then my "friend" interrupted with "Nah, Tyler's sexy!". Thank you very much:(.

Favourite place you've been to? My travel log isn't very long, but I always enjoy myself in Dunedin (NZ's answer to Scotland).

Sunrise or sunset? Sunset. More colours, and it usually means night's not far away.

Last person you phoned and their relation to you? Haven't used the phone in a while...redundant technology, I prefer telelpathy. Ryan, good friend of mine and head of The Christchurch Faction Towards The Return Of Communism.

Favourite smell? That smell I can't describe...my friend smells that way and it drives me nuts.

Cats or dogs? Dogs. You know where you are with a dog. It's LOVELOVELOVELOVE...or you're out on your arse.

Three things you first notice about the opposite sex? First of all, the face. Then, once we've been talking a bit, their mouth; some people have very sensual and alluring mouths. Then, after I've known them a bit, I
notice their eyes, I mean REALLY notice them. That's how you can tell if a person is right for you or not; just look in their eyes.

Whats the best thing about your crush? That she has no name and no face and no body but possibly a soul which is all that matters.

who do u fancy( u have to say someone!) "Fancy"? You sound like my mum when you talk like that, and I don't tell her my secrets.

Do you have a love or hate relationship with Marmite? Marmite is this sloppy black stuff we put on toast in NZ, and possibly Australia. But Vegemite is better, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Very famous in NZ
for a while with the memorable "We're happy little Vegemites" ad campaign (I'm not making that up).

The first thing you thought of this morning? "Shit, time to wake up."

What do you see when you look in the mirror? My reflection. *BOOM BOOM TISH*

How are you today? Tired. Spend four hours in a van driving through mountains and you'll know the feeling. Beautiful scenery though.

What are you most looking forward to? Um...the end of the year, when I can showcase my films to the viewing public:).

What did you dream about last night? I never remember my dreams, and if I did, they wouldn't involve a fat Chevy Chase. How much do I suck?:( Although I did once dream that I met PJ Harvey in her hotel, and she signed my CD:).
I was very disappointed after I woke up.

You're favourite drink? Can't go wrong with a cup of tea. The entire British Revolution was built on cups of tea. If you think I'm going to war without one, you're very much mistaken. ("Lock, Stock And Two Smoking
Barrels" quote. It IS true though.)

You're favourite alcoholic drink? Communist vodka. Or, if none is available, absinthe, the devil's drink.

What was your last alcoholic drink? Ice Breaker. Tasted like lemonade. And you thought your answer was gay...

Favourite TV Shows: The Simpsons, Futurama, Black Books, Family Guy, King Of The Hill (only one non-cartoon, what does that say about me?)

Your favourite items of clothing: TOOL T-Shirt. In fact, I'm wearing it right now. With my tough black pants and my Communist underwear.

Last thing you bought: A Footlong Chicken Subway, with cheddar cheese, bacon, onion, green pepper and BBQ sauce.

Last CD bought?: "Undertow" by TOOL and "Opiate" also by TOOL (both at same time)

What's the next CD you're going to get? Um...well, I'm getting the new Eminem for my brother's birthday present, but for myself? Maybe some Tom Waits...or "Blonde on Blonde" by Bob Dylan...no wait, I was gunna get "Dark Side Of The Moon"...or

What makes you angry? Dishonesty and stupidity. I don't mean to plaigarize, but I agree totally and I couldn't be bothered getting out my thesaurus and looking up two alternative words. I'm being honest, so don't
get angry!:P

Favourite Song? Shit, don't ask me that question. Here's my current list:

Every self-titled song off a TOOL album, "Dry The Rain" by The Beta Band, "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" by The Velvet Underground, "Inside Game" by Royal Trux and that song they sing on "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". That's all I can think of right now. Ask me tomorrow, get a completely different answer.

Eye Colour :  Grey-blue.

3 things you couldn't live without :  MUSIC, Sleep, and...companions. OK, I ripped you off again, but it's true! Although there's only really a handful of individuals I couldn't live without.

3 things you could live without : Fundamental Christains, this stomach pain I have right now (probably a dodgy taco somewhere along the line) and my appendix. Well I could!

Favourite film(s)? Couldn't name a favourite, but "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" was the last really good film I saw. "Fight Club" and "High Fidelity" are high on that list too.

Do you wear contacts? No. I reckon I'd look quite dashing in glasses. Also, I think it should be compulsory for bald (whether by choice or by nature) men (or women, actually) to wear glasses of some kind. Otherwise
their heads look too boring.

Siblings and their ages? Um, five brothers at the last count; 13, 13 (no, not twins), 9, and 7. OK, only four brothers. It was a rough estimate. One sister, aged 8.

Favourite month? December. It's almost time for Christmas, and you know what that means? Wizard Of Oz! Still listening to PJ Harvey...

I really wish......: That I had an infinite bank account. Money is the root of all evil, but modern living is evil in itself, so I need that to survive.

Most used word in your vocabulary: "ALRIGHT!" (the new "Wazzup!")

Favourite word(s): .com. vichyssoise is a very cool word, what does it mean? Derf, me smarat. Still got PJ pumping on my stereo...

If I was a kitchen utensil I'd be: A sprout-masher

When was the last time you cried: I don't remember either. Oh wait, a tear ran down my eye at the end of "High Fidelity" last time I watched it, but I'm fucked if I know why. It's not a sad ending.

Most recent thing that made you laugh: The last thing that really made me lose myself was last week's Black Books.
"I've got Dave syndrome!"
"Is that like you other syndrome? What was it? You had to eat fudge
because-"
"Fudge stops me from going deaf!"

and

"Now shut up and get my lolly!" He then goes to the fridge and gets a bottle of Barcadi frozen with a stick in it. The laugh heard around the world.

Have you ever fancied one of your friends? Yep. I dated her too. It went sour but we're still friends. Even though I'm single and she's not:(.

One thing about your personality you'd like to change: I WISH I WASN'T SO DAMN NEUROTIC ALL THE BLEEDING TIME. And I want to be less selfish (do you get the joke in that statement?:P). Still listening to PJ...

One thing about your physical appearence you would change: My feet. They really let my legs down in the looks department. So much so that I'm afraid to go barefoot unless at home.

Who is your hero? Uncle Jesse from Full House. He had a recording studio in the basement!

Favourite TV advert: The Burger King one with the chickens (sorry, had to wind you up a bit). My all-time favourite ad is one that never got aired; an ad for Ikea shelves that involved a toddler playing with a vibrator, and the caption "Tidy up". I can send it to you ask extra nicely.

Last film seen at the cinema: "Colateral Damage". Otherwise known as "MacGuyver: the Movie". Arnie didn't even shoot anyone! Give me "Commando" anyday.

Favourite day of the year? St. Patrick's Day.

Favourite actor and actress: Brad Pitt, Ed Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman (she was great in "The Professional"), John Cusack, Benicio Del Toro, George Clooney, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keital, Jean Reno-should I stop? Still listening to PJ.

Burger King or McDonalds: Beauger King. They use actual meat, and FREE REFILLS!

Most annoying TV actor or actress: Courtney Cox-Arquette. Just bank your money now and go the fuck away. Please.

Out shopping and have £5 left What do you spend it on? I change it to NZ dollars, which gives me around $15 cuz of the exchange rate, and I buy a cheap CD (and some cheap tapes, eh bro?) at The CD Store. I wouldn't buy nail polish; because of a neurotic nail biting habit, I have none to paint:(.

Do you like scary or happy movies better? Scary-happy, like "Cannibal: the Musical". That was hilarious.

Summer or winter? Whatever season it isn't right now. Winter: "I could get more work done if it wasn't so bloody cold!" Summer: "I could get some more work done if it wasn't so bloody hot!" Spring: "I could get more work done if it wasn't so bloody moderate!". Listening to Thom Yorke...doing a duet with PJ.

Hugs or Kisses? Hugs. They feel nicer, can last longer, are easier to perfect, and sometimes lead to kisses...

Chocolate ice cream or vanilla? Chocolate. C'mon, ask me a hard one.

Shower or bath? Not that hard. Shower for warmth and cleanliness, but bubble bath for relaxation. I'm too big for our bathtub though, so that point is somewhat moot.

Coffee or tea? See the favourite drink question. TEA!

Are you a morning or night person? I'm a 6:38 person actually.

How honestly have you answered these questions? Well, I AM still listening to PJ...
