sarahx01. your full name?
Jane Sarah Houlton. Always been called Sarah; always been intended to be called Sarah. Awkward damn parents.
02. grandparent's first names?
John (but called Ken) and Alice; Thomas and Edna (which she really, really hated)
03. what songs do you sing in the shower?
I don't. Too busy getting wet.
04. what did you fear was going to get you at night as a child?
I remember being scared silly by the tomato plants on my Granny Alice's spare bedroom windowsill when I was 7. I'd just read 'Day of the Triffids' and was convinced they were coming to get me.
05. when and why did you last vomit?
Can't remember. May have been alcohol-induced.
06. what's in your pockets right now?
Tissues, yesterday's one-day travelcard and 60p
07. what colour are your bedroom walls?
Some vague off-white shade. Needs decorating. Needed decorating when I moved in more than eight years ago. You know how it is.
08. last thing that made you laugh?
One of the acts at Stand Up Drama at Madame JoJos last night - a very silly X Factor skit
09. nicknames your parents call you?
My dad has been known to call me 'Hairy' because it sounds a bit like 'Sarah'. Hmmm.
10. best bed sheets you had as a child?
I have no idea.
11. favourite childhood pet?
I didn't really have any - bro Simon had an albino hamster which he most imaginatively called Whitey, and my brothers had a selection of goldfish called Fido and Rover and things like that. We finally got a cat when I was 17 - my dad had always said 'No Pets' but then he came home with a kitten he'd fallen for on a farm where he'd been doing a job.
12. any pets now?
A mad cat called Ginola - she's tiny and a complete tart (with humans of the male variety: she doesn't get on with other cats)
13. others describe your ass as?
I don't own a donkey
14. do you like your teeth?
I'd prefer them if they were straighter.
15. inny or an outty?
Inny. Outies are horrid.
16. things you shout to stupid drivers?
'YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED A BLOODY CAR'
17. favourite bathroom?
I quite like mine. But a good bathroom has to have a full-length bath.
18. bake or broil?
'Broil' will be some strange American word for something or other, right?
19. black olives or green olives?
Either. As long as they're juicy.
20. what kind of cell phone do you own?
Nokia 6230. Like half the rest of the world.
21. what's one of the strangest things you ever chewed on?
Coca leaves
22. is your music kept in a particular order?
In theory, yes. In practice, entropy tends to creep in.
23. where do you get your film developed?
Boots, usually.
24. if your skin could be any colour of the rainbow, what would it be?
Purple. As my dad would say - to match my teeth. Ho ho ho.
25. where did you go to pre-school?
I didn't! But my mum did teach me to read at an alarmingly early age.
26. strangest drug experience?
Sonata (zaleplon) - prescribed hypnotic with a short onset of action and short half-life, so you can take them at 2am when you can't get to sleep. However, they make me hallucinate quite spectacularly.
27. favourite weather?
Hot and sunny.
28. describe your fingernails?
Too prone to breaking. I very rarely manage a full set of paintable ones. Three down at the moment.
29. last time you went to the hospital?
To casualty after the car accident in May, just-in-case.
30. worst injury you've ever had?
Probably after the bike-and-diplomatic-Mercedes incident as a third year undergraduate. Dislocated the top joint of my left thumb and broke the bone below it in three places. Nice. Whiplash from the big car accident still causes me problems more than six years on, mind.
31. how do you like your chocolate?
I'm rather partial to Leonidas Manon blanc choccies.
32. favourite kind of tape?
What a silly question. Tit tape has its uses when suitably attired.
33. favourite thing to write or draw with?
Pencil. Generally cheap mechanical ones. Fairly soft with a 0.7mm lead. Easiest for shorthand. And I don't draw - I have the artistic talent of the average housebrick.
34. last movie you rented?
No idea - it was aeons ago. Think the most recent thing I watched on Sky Box Office was that King Arthur movie with Keira Knightley in.
35. last movie you went to see?
Charlie and the chocolate factory. Meant to be going to the pictures tonight, though. No idea yet what to see.
36. were you a thumb sucker?
No.
37. how old are you?
In my head, 22. According to my birth certificate, 38.
38. What are your dreams like?
I rarely remember them.
39. Do you have a crush?
aye
40. Does this person know it?
aye
41. Do you IM this person?
nope
42. Male or Female?
the former
43. Is this person a user of myspace?
doubt it
44. favourite mode of transportation?
Driving a nice fast car
45. favourite place to swim?
Given half a chance, the sea somewhere tropical
46. last porno you saw?
Can't remember!
47. last song you listened to?
Ken Bruce just played New Order's True Faith 94 on Radio 2
48. favourite kitchen utensil?
Definitely the dishwasher, if that counts as a utensil. I hate washing up with a passion.
49. favourite driving songs?
I usually listen to the radio (Five Live or 2, depending on the time of day). But there is always my scary singalong CD, as listed in this lyrics quiz.
50. what will you be doing tonight?
Going to the pictures at Filmworks in Greenwich (it's really Charlton, whatever they try to claim). And hopefully sleeping for a change. Not holding my breath on that one.
