Welcome to the next edition of getting to know your friends. Okay, here's what you're supposed to do...and try not to be LAME and spoil the fun! Just give in. Copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it into a new e-mail that you can send. Change all of the answers so that they apply to you. Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know *INCLUDING* the person who sent it to you. Doesn't matter if they already received it. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your friends. It is fun and easy.
1. What is your Full Name: Lawrence John Akers. A more interesting question to ask your friends, however, is what your name would've been if you were born the opposite sex. I was going to be Samantha... (slips on 'Can't Stop The Music' soundtrack...)
2. What colour pants are you wearing right now? Cream jeans.
3. What are you listening to right now? Well, it's a television commercial, and sounds like an SPC beans ad... but I think, listening more carefully, that it might be a 'drytron' ad.
4. What are the last 2 digits of your phone number: home or mobile?
5. What was the last thing you ate: Ant made a freakin' huge pasta dish for dinner tonight and I still feel bloated, even though we finished it some hours ago.
6. If you were a crayon what colour would you be: Always with the crayon questions... check previous email quiz for the answer to this.
7. How is the weather right now: Rather chilly... but it does tend to give me a more impressive looking chest.
8. Last person you talked to on the phone: My mother.
9. First thing you notice about the opposite sex: Another popular favourite with the questionnaires... oh, I don't know... their tits or something...
10. Do you like the person who sent this to you: Yes, I do like Andrew. He is a lovely man and we've often gone through many things together.
11. How are you today: Well, it's an hour before 'tomorrow'... but it has been a not bad day.
12. Favourite (non-alcohol) Drink: Pepsi Max, Diet Vanilla Coke or a Berry Bonaza Viva Juice.
13. Favourite Alcoholic drink: Vodka.
14. Favourite Sports: Gymnastics.
15. Hair Colour: Receeding brown...
16. Eye Colour: Brown.
17. Do you wear contacts: No
18. Siblings: Three brothers and one sister. I'm the youngest.
19. Favourite Month: Um... well, i've had some months that have been great one year and then really crap the next, so I guess I find this question kinda redundant.
20. Favourite Food: Probably Indian... or Chinese... or Thai... or a good, homemade, lean meat burger...
21. Last Movie you Watched: (Looks blankly for a moment...) I actually don't remember... Ant and I watched 'Men In Black II' on Foxtel not too long ago but I actually can't remember the last film I sat down intentionally to watch.
22. Favourite Day of the Year: One that is relaxing, filled with good friends, good fun, and solid contentment.
23. Are you too shy to ask someone out: not really.
25. Hugs or Kisses? I need to pick one or the other?
26. Chocolate or Vanilla: Ice cream... probably vanilla... but Chocolate cake is pretty amazing.
27. Do you want your friends to write back? They can leave comments now by clicking at the end of this post. But I don't honestly expect it. It would be a pleasant surprise though.
28. Who is most likely to respond: Wonder if I have a stalker?
29: Who is least likely to respond: ?? John Lennon... Elvis Presley... Alexander The Great... there are many options.
30. What books are you reading: 'Anxiety Status' by Alain De Botton, 'Good To Great' by Jim Collins, and a handful of other books on finances, sales techniques, pet myths, and diet. I mentioned a lot of this in my last post though.
31. What's on your mouse pad: It's an Ipex mousepad... so not terribly much... i've never been overly concerned about mouse pads (or is a collective 'mice pads'?)
32. Favourite Board Game: I'm not really well versed on board games.
33. What did you do last night: Watched the Tony Awards.
34. Favourite smells: Raindrops on roses and... um... something on kittens... um... warm apple struddle served up in woolly mittens... um... bright copper kettles tied up with string... er... these are a few of my favourite things...
35. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? Maybe... more importantly, can your tongue touch me... (someone taps shoulder and reminds me that LOTS of people have access to this site, including family, friends, old and easily shockable nuns...)
36. Favourite Flower: Self-raising (have I done that joke before? I can't remember...)
37. What's the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? Where am I?
