1. Find the maximum amount of nuclear waste that can be consumed by people.
2. Inject that amount into everything we eat.
This way, people could rely on nuclear power without worry! Also our food would glow in the dark, which is pretty cool.
I wonder where neon-coloured pigment comes from...

Plastic.
Isn't it phenomenal that we've created a material that will still be around even after our bones have turned to oil?
I am seriously hoping that the Feist concert isn't sold out, but I'm afraid it probably is. I've wanted to see this show since March! Maybe next year...
Also, I hate slivers.

Were you named after anything?
I have this idea that I was, but I won’t try to remember the story.
if you were born the oppisite sex what would your name be?
Probably something lame like Richard or Axel. I quite like the name Tomithy but I don’t think it would suit me.

Ha, “who do you want to be with?” What a question!

I am in love with the whole world.
have you ever been in love, if so how many times?
I fall in love every day and have my heart broken every night....uuunnnghhh.

Well, I’ve seen it happen, so I guess I have to.

Trite trite trite.
do you consider love a mistake?
If it makes you unhappy, then maybe?
turn-ons?
A nicely-waxed moustache and a well-crafted smoking pipe.
turn-offs?
Arrogance, cockiness, rage, jackassery...all the unfortunate byproducts of testosterone, I guess.

Ha ha. Only old European men and men who can’t see very well.
what is best about the opposite sex?
They are less complicated than women, in general.
what is worst about the opposite sex?
Testoste-rage.
are you a virgin?
Oh, wouldn’t you like to know. (the answer is yes)
do you believe you should be in love to have sex?
It would be nice, but it doesn’t always happen that way...
how far have you gone?
Well..I once kissed a guy..on the lips.
how many people have you had sex with?
I’m going to forego this exercise in redundancy to ask myself an ALTERNATIVE question: Rita, what song has been stuck in your head since you got up yesterday morning? Answer: friggin’ California by Rufus Wainwright.
do other people consider you a slut?
Oh I bet.
right at this moment...
where are you?
On a chair in the basement with one of my feet propped up on another chair and the other resting on a drawer handle.
what can you see out your window?
Not much. A couple of streetlights, maybe.
are you listening to music?
California, California...
are you lonely or tired?
I am neither actually. What a rare feeling.

Happy, jumpy, headache, caffeine, cynical

Nope, but I’m seriously considering it.
are you talking to anyone of the phone? if so who?

Many different coloured dots and a few years’ worth of grime.

Kathleen, I think.

Kesinee!

What a mean question.
ditziest?
Alison.
funniest?
Everyone!

I’ll say Hannah. She’s had to do it the most.

A group, usually. Though one-on-one can be very nice too.

Kathleen/Eve/Summerstock kids too numerous to mention.
who knows the most about you?
Hannah!
who knows the least about you?
Oh goodness...probably eve?
who do you trust the most?
Again, probably Hannah.
the least?
The people I don’t trust aren’t really my...friends...
who do you fight with the most?
I’ve probably had more fights with Joelle or Hermit than anyone else. But that’s all water under the bridge by now.
who do you talk to online the most?
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve talked online at all, but I think it’s a three-way tie between Kes, Ali and Liam.
who do you talk to on the phone the most?
Ha. My mom?
do you trust others easily?
Sometimes a little too easily it seems. But it hasn’t caused any trouble yet.
name one who's arms you feel safe in:
To be honest...Kylian’s.
who’s house were you at last?
Probably Ali’s. It’s been a while.
who's your second family?
Oh goodness...Haneys, Mathers and Inni.
who lives the farthest away?
Kathleen!

smoke?
Not that I know of...

All the time.

After seeing all those crime movies, I don’t think I could.

I don’t think so.

Not unless I have to...
sleep with stuffed animals?
Who doesn’t?

Unfortunately, no.

Not unless running alone counts as a sport.
sleep around?
Wow, that came out of nowhere.
lie a lot?
I don’t think so.
steal?
Just food from my family and workplace.
gamble?
I wouldn’t know where to begin.
have you ever....
kissed a stranger?
I kissed Michael Giesbrecht’s hand when I first met him, but I don’t know if that counts.
slept with a stranger?
Well...they weren’t TOTAL strangers.
spun until you were so dizzy you couldn't walk?
Innumerable times.

Just about.

Innumerable times.
cried so much it was painful?
Maybe a couple of times.
gone skinny dipping?
Not yet.
played strip poker?
Nope.
had a medical emergency?
Not a real one.
ran away from home?
I tried once when I was 6 or 7. I thought it was something every kid did at least once in their life. All those cartoons gave me the wrong impression.
done something extremely unexpected?
Innumerable times.
slept outside?
Yay!
been onstage?
Yup.
deep stuff....
whats your biggest fear?
The whole world is falling apart and there’s nothing I can do to change it!
what was your weirdest dream?
I can’t really say. I have so many of them it’s hard to say which one was weirder than which.
scariest dream?
I’ve had some pretty terrifying apocalyptic dreams about huge surrealist natural disasters or strange and deadly phenomena.
do you have a reoccuring dream?
I don’t think I’ve ever had one specific recurring dream, but my dreams tend to have themes that change from week to week.
what was your best dream?
Again, I can’t say. There was one about a man with “gould” coloured hair and a ghost in a drawer that screamed “oxymoron” before swallowing people, but I don’t know if I would say it was the best.
what IS your dream?
To be happy without starving.
do you live in the moment?
Too much. I don’t think about the future until it comes up, and by then it’s usually too late.
what you greatest strength?
I pride myself in being able to listen and remember.
whats your greatest weakness?
Whenever I get close to success, I shy away and return to mediocrity.
do you have a motto you live by?
Eat it now, it might be gone tomorrow.
if your life were a movie what would it be called?
The Saga of Adventure. Or maybe, The Clumsy Sidekick who Avoided Adventure.
do you have any bad habits?
I still pull out my hair.
do you have any secrets?
If I did, I’ve probably forgotten them by now.
are you fake?
I don’t try to be. Do you think I’m fake?
what do you want to do in life?
I honestly don’t know. Get to know as many people as I can, I guess.
are you a daredevil?
Exactly the opposite.
are you predictable?
I think I am. Most of the time.
do you keep a journal/diary?
Yuss.
if you could change one thing about you would you? what would it be?
I would love to be braver. Or if not braver, at least a little less shy.
if you were someone else, would you be friends with yourself?
I might be, but I don’t think I’d be very good friends with myself.
do you think you're a good person?
I think maybe? Mostly? More so in theory than in practise, though.
do you think you're emotionally strong?
I’m afraid I don’t quite understand the question...
do you regret anything?
My life is a rich tapestry of regret.
do you think life has been good so far?
All in all, I’m pretty damn lucky.
what do you like most about you body?
It moves when I tell it to and all parts function accordingly.
least?
The usual (insulation around my stomach, my sides, etc. etc.).
are you trust worthy?
I think so.
are you gullible?
Not as much as I used to be, but it still takes me quite a while to catch on.
Finished! Are you exhausted? Try doing it for yourself!
