That survey...

[denny]

1) If you could be instantly fluent in one other language that you currently do not read or speak, which would it be?

Japanese.

2) If you could have the starring role in any film already made, what would it be?

Luke Skywalker in Star Wars (episode 4 - A New Hope).

3) If you could receive one small package this very moment, who would it be from and what would be in it?

Saturday's winning lottery ticket, from someone who's not going to want it back when it wins.

4) If you could own one painting from any collection in the world but were not able to sell it, which work of art would you select?

No opinion. I didn't realise how disinterested I am in art until I tried to answer this.

There are a couple of pieces of original artwork from comics I'd like to own, and I have a photocopy of a magazine picture of a print by an American artist that I love - it's a guy crucified on a cross of circuit boards. I suppose I'd pick the original of that if I could have anything.

5) If you were instantly able to play one musical instrument perfectly that you never have played before, what would it be?

Saxaphone.

6) If you could possess one supernatural ability, what would it be?

Telepathy.

7) If you had to choose the most valuable thing you ever learned what would it be?

How to read.

(brilliant answer naath)

8)If you could have only one piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?

A huge four-poster bed. Modern style, not antique, but with suitable points for attaching, erm, stuff. Possibly a water-bed, but I've not actually tried one out yet so I'm not sure...

9) If you could read the private diary of someone you know personally, whose diary would it be?

My ex girlfriend... I want to know if she's feeling better yet.

10) If you could have one person you know as your slave well-paid and cared for as a domestic labourer for one month, who would it be?

Can't think of anyone. gothslut was looking for a job for the winter holiday I suppose... define domestic labour? *grin*

11) If you could choose the way you will die, how would you want it to happen?

I can't decide from the following:
a) Spectacularly. ("Live fast, die distributed")
b) Painlessly. (Okay, I'm a wuss at heart)`
c) Only after a very very very long life filled with interesting experiences. (Immortality would be nicer, presuming I get to stay young while I'm living forever)

12) If you could wake up tomorrow to learn that the major newspaper headlines were about you, what would you want them to say?

"Man inherits stupendously vast fortune" is the only thing that leaps to mind.

13) If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?

Phone my mum and offer her anything that can be bought.

14) If you could choose the music at your funeral, what would it be, and who would play it?

Various theme tunes from classic arcade games and children's TV shows. Including, but not limited to, the Tetris music and the Rhubarb and Custard theme tune.

A friend of mine was a gay stripper, and had 'Dancing Queen' played at his funeral - that was cool.

15) If you could take away the vocal cords of any person, who would it be?

Tony Blair.

16) If you had to describe your idea of the perfect mate, how would you do it?

Neil Gaiman's Death is close. Tall, slim, long dark hair, if not a goth then similar taste in clothes/jewellery, into alternative music (preferably metal and techno), and very definitely a pervert of the first order. This probably constitutes quite severe narcissism, except that I am biased towards girls...

17) If you had to have a personal friend redecorate your house, who would you pick to do it?

Anyone would do better than me. My friend Daniel I suppose, his place is nice...

18) If you had to choose the worst home you've ever lived in, which one was it?

As a building: a prefab council house on Netherfield in Milton Keynes.

As a home: the one I'm in now. Too many bad memories...

19) If you could have prevented one thing from happening between you and a friend, what would it have been?

Sleeping with my ex girlfriend.

20) If you could learn the total number of hours you have spent in your life doing one thing, what would it be?

Procrastinating.

21) If you had to describe yourself as a child in one word, what would it be?

Unpopular.

22) If you could own a single prop from any film ever made what would you choose?

The Batmobile.
