What was the last thing you bought?
Food.

A PC attachment that my PC couldn't cope with.

What was the last CD you bought? Any good?
Music - Moulin Rouge soundtrack - superb!

What is the longest friendship you have had?
I bumped into Matt and Quentin at CryoGencon in Camber Sands in the early 90s, to find out that Matt lived two minutes walk from me. We've been friends since.

It varies. Usually friends.

About her - "girlfriend"
To her - "Love"

What is the best role-playing moment you have experienced?
"The Retirement of High Father Antony Appleford". Many thanks, Gareth.
More generally those times when I forget the bit of "Paul" that sits in the back of my head steering and become the character - this happens far too rarely.

And the worst?
The OOC shit that too often goes with it.

First to Die. James Patterson.

Several. Most frequently SF, Fantasy, modern novels

Mills and Boon type stuff

What about films? All one type, or a variety?
As with books, really.

Any film genres you can't stand?
I'll watch most stuff.

What is the best job that you have had?
All of them have had drawbacks. I quite like the current one on the whole.

If you could do one thing once ever without any consequences to yourself, what would you do?
Divert a very, very large sum of money into my bank account.


=============================================================
Number of times I have been in love:
Three. Plus a couple of times when I thought I was.

Number of times I have had my heart broken:
Once. That's more than enough.

Number of hearts I have broken:
One. Ditto.

Number of boys I have kissed in my life:
None that I can recall.

Number of girls I have kissed:
Lots. But now only one ("properly" ;-) )

Number of continents I have visited:
Two. Europe and North America.

Number of people I would classify as true, could trust with my life type friends:
Difficult to quantify - high single figures.

Number of people from high school that I stayed in contact with:
About two these days. Both lasses I briefly went out with and lost contact with for years.

Number of cd's that I own:
Into three figures, but not by much.

Number of piercings:
None. Nohow. No way.

Number of tattoos:
None. I've considered it a time or two, but don't think I can commit to anything so permanent.

Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper:
It hasn't to my knowledge. Not other than institutional rags.

Number of scars on my body:
Two nice large ones on left hip and leg. Sundry scratches here and there.

Number of people that has made me scared of what they could do to me physically:
Quite a few when I was about 10-13.

Number of things in my past that I regret
Not that many. Breaking the heart of a nice lass who deserved better is one. Things not working out with the lass who broke mine is another. But in both cases I wouldn't be in my current happy state.
