30 questions

[denny]

1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
"Impressive spot..." *squeeze*

2. When is the next time you will have sex?
Possibly Friday, or almost certainly Sunday.

3. What's a word that rhymes with "DOOR"?
Poor.

4. Favorite planet?
Saturn. Rings++

5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your mobile?
It's empty - I use it as a reminder list of people I need to call back, so I wipe it after I've called them.

6. What is your favorite ring on your phone?
I don't like any of them. Currently using an MP3 of Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance).

7. What kind of shirt you have on?
Plain black t-shirt. Too tight and hot, but the only vaguely clean thing I could find in the mess at the new flat this morning.

8. What do you "label" yourself?
Lots of things - see my userinfo for a list. If I had to pick one, it'd either be 'geek' or 'alternative'.

9. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
No Fear. Yes, I do look ashamed when I admit that :) They were the only black trainers without sparkly bits that had decently cushioned soles (to stop my knee aching so soon when I walk any distance).

10. Bright or Dark Room?
Very bright, generally. But usually artificial light, not sunlight, because I don't like having windows uncovered.

11. What do you think about the person who took this survey before you?
I've lusted after her for years, but I'm fairly sure it'll never happen. Life is cruel :) She's lovely anyway.

12. If you're alone in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep on?
The one furthest from the door.

13. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Planning to pounce libellum in the extremely near future.

14. What did your last text message say that you received on your mobile?
"!! *squeak* *writhe*" :)

15. Where is your letter box?
In the flat's front door, but I'm not sure how the postman gets in past the building's front door. He definitely does though - I had post waiting for me on my first day at the new flat. It was a council tax bill for £650, typically.

16. What's a word that you say a lot?
Cool.

17. Who told you he/she loved you last?
libellum

18. Last furry thing you touched?
Bruno - my knee-high cuddly dinosaur.

19. How many drugs have you done in the last three days?
Hahahahahah. *looks shifty* Lets just say it was a very good party, and I'd like a rest now.

20. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?
None in the last 8 or more years.

21. Favorite age you have been so far?
Early 20s probably. Not that there's much wrong with my life now either.

22. Your worst enemy?
Me, probably.

23. What is your current desktop picture?
Work:

24. What was the last thing you said to someone?
"Okay"

25. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly, which would you take?
I'll take the super-power, thanks. I reckon you could earn more than a million dollars fairly quickly if you could fly.

26. Do you like someone?
An increasing number of people.

27. The last song you listened to?
Crap on the office iPod system - sounds like Oasis or something similar. I'll have to get last.fm going in a minute.

28. If the last person you spoke to was being shot at, would you jump in front of the bullet?
Nope.

29. If you could punch one person in the face who would it be?
I was quite tempted by the pisshead priest at the party this weekend... generally speaking I'm not keen on violence though.

30. What is the closest object to your left foot?
Sock. Trainer. Right foot trainer, right foot sock, right foot. Desk leg. Nothing of interest whatsoever.

29...you weren't the only one.

[innocent-irony.livejournal.com]

So did I do people a favour then?

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Yup. Except hardly anyone saw it... if you'd got that on video you could sell copies :)

[innocent-irony.livejournal.com]

nods.
I am not a violent person, beyond a playful fashion anyhow.. and I still feel terrible about losing my grip with him as I did. Feel I should have known better. *looks glum*

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

I think his overall behaviour counts as 'extreme provocation'.

I think the hosts fucked up by letting him in really - it was never going to end well. You were the only person at the party who didn't have 100% negative things to say about him all weekend, and even you ended up fighting with him...

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

*nuzzle* I know it's hard to tell people to bugger off when it's open door, but he seems to be a fairly well-known trouble-spot. *shrug* No major harm done :)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

No major harm done

Which sort of indicates that we made the right decision, no? Had he turned up on Friday night already pissed off, drunk, and knowing he was unwelcome, I'd have spent the entire party trying to stop him from entering the building. I have to say I slightly resent the fact that you don't seem to appreciate how hard we thought about this.

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

I think you're underestimating how much your friends and lovers would have been willing to help with the process of keeping him out. But I don't mean to give you a hard time about it - it was a very small blemish on a wonderful weekend which the three of you made happen.

[innocent-irony.livejournal.com]

To be fair to all it is noones fault. You did right by not uninviting him to the party. That would have cause a heck of alot more aggro than what happened, not necessarily in the vicinity of the party, but overall, and for a longer time period. It is completely his fault that he changed what would have been one raucous night (and bearable) on Friday into a weekend bender and behave like a fool. Just as it is my fault that i was silly enough to support him and think that if he went again it would be alright and i could get him to leave comfortably early. Frankly, I should have got him out early. Not that hes my responsibility, but still. Meh. Sorry. To you and Elise. And i guess strongtrews too.

[hythloday.livejournal.com]

For what it's worth I was completely oblivious to him all weekend.

Immovable object 1, irresistable force nil.

I think the hosts fucked up by letting him in really
I think they were torn between asking him not to come/not letting him in and facing the very real possibility that he would turn up anyway, even more drunk and belligerant than he did, or not doing that and hoping he wouldn't be too much of a [expletive deleted].

Regrettably, the softly-softly approach didn't have the desired result.
*sigh*

Twas nice to finally meet you, by the way, dennyd. Thanks for the phone rec!

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

the very real possibility that he would turn up anyway, even more drunk and belligerant than he did

Yeah, I'd forgotten that's how it was explained to me. Personally that's when I'd have told him to fuck off at the door and thrown him back through it if he still tried to come in... does tend to sour the mood of the event though.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Had you told him to fuck off at the door you might have had rather more luck than me.

[innocent-irony.livejournal.com]

I know.
I feel ridiculous for having even supported his going in. Problem is, without alcohol, he is a decent guy (otherwise he wouldnt be in the position he is in...) but hes just gone so downhill over the past 6months or so that its really unmanageable

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

I'm considering writing to his boss actually. Might force him to shape up a bit.

[innocent-irony.livejournal.com]

It wont make any difference. They already know.
Hence why he is jobless and will not be placed anywhere except in 'training' 9-5 type placements until he proves he no longer has a drink problem.

If you want to write to anyone, write to his exboss/coworker/landlord, Fr Fraser. Except the ruddy frustration there is that he is almost maknig the situation worse by supporting M every time he falls, especially financially

[deborah_c]

I wrote to a senior person in the diocese (who's a friend as well) this morning. I am trying to get to speak to the Bishop, after an incident with M on Saturday night. I don't think I should go into details here, though. Other friends are currently trying to persuade me this isn't a good idea, but I will do it (or such action as the SPitD suggests) unless he takes steps to change his behaviour, right now. This includes, but isn't necessarily limited to stopping drinking, completely. I wrote to M last night protesting at what he did to me and telling him never, ever to do it again, and I know I'm not the only one; I have more emails to write later.

Mutual friends will (probably, I hope) tell you that I'm not a particularly vindictive person, but M went way over so many boundaries at the weekend that Something Needs To Be Done.

[uberredfraggle.livejournal.com]

Hell yes. You would ahve had a big cheer. we were laughing from the window above.

[innocent-irony.livejournal.com]

Tehee.

I honestly cant remember the last time i got that mad. Its my evil frankenstein side and i cant believe i behaved so badly. Makes me feel minorly better being assured he deserved it.

[uberredfraggle.livejournal.com]

There was an audience and cheer as he was left looking lost as the taxi pulled away. He deserved far more than he got.

[innocent-irony.livejournal.com]

*laughs*
That was a terrible moment
Apparently (according to the taxi driver) they get it alot on Sunday mornings...

[oedipamaas49.livejournal.com]

oh, the kick in the groin was priceless. Pity nobody else was there to watch, blackmetalbaz being totally out by then.

[blackmetalbaz.livejournal.com]

Yes, he didn't seem to make himself too many friends... I think I must have passed out by the time things actually kicked off though.
