Few things in OD

First of all, thank you for your feedback on my last entry. Very useful. If you have no idea what I’m on about and would like to, click back an entry. After you’ve read this one, obviously.

Secondly, you’ll be glad to know that the interview went well. Well, OK, I was slightly late due to the bloody bus, but apart from that, it went fine. Although I did manage to make one of the interviewers jealous as she had tickets for the Rage gig but didn’t go.

Thirdly, I’ve decided to do a survey thing. I got it from I capture the castle, but think it started with LJ:

Five things I am sick of being asked (and their respective answers) in no particular order:

Do you support Rangers or Celtic?

Cos Scotland only has the two clubs! Ho, ho, ho, my sides are fucking splitting! Where you from? Newcastle? So, do you support Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool? Everyone from England supports one of them.

I’ve got a mate who lives in Glasgow. Do you know them?

Why, yes, I do. He says hi. Cos, y’see, Scotland is such a phenomenally small place that I know each and every one of the 5 million inhabitants personally. Seriously, you should see how many weddings I get invited to a week.

Does it hurt to get a tattoo?

Tell you what, I’ll pin you down and jab a needle into you multiple times very, very rapidly and let’s see how many yucks you have.

We don’t have any (insert lager brand name here) glasses, will another one do?

This is a recent one. I don’t mind the branded glasses in general. It makes it easier if you’re getting different types of beer. But, here’s a tip for you. What are you putting into the glass? Is it what I ordered? Then why the fuck should I give a damn what is on the side of the thing I’m drinking it out of? ‘Well, I thought I ordered Carling but this glass says Fosters so they must have screwed up.’ Don’t think like that. Sorry to disappoint.

Have you ever worn a kilt/drunk whisky/eaten haggis/eaten a deep fry Mars Bar?

In order: yes/yes (but my favourite is actually Welsh)/no/no. Sorry if I disappointed you by not living up tom your stereotyped ideas. It’s your own fucking fault. You should be wearing a pin stripe suit and a bowler hat and carrying a briefcase and an umbrella.

Four things you probably don’t know about me:

I’m not keen on Blade Runner Seen it, appreciate that, technically, it’s a marvel, couldn’t buy into it.

I have plans for for about 6 other tattoos Most of which are geek related.

I have incredible trouble coming up with titles for things This may not be a surprise to those who have read stuff for me but, yeah, titles and ending give me real difficulty.

I like to snack on picked onions As in, I’ll happily buy a jar and just munch my way through till their gone. I generally peel off a layer at a time.

Three things I believe:

Even if man made climate change does not exist, it’s still worth making changes I do think it’s real, but even if it’s not, isn’t it worth it to make the planet nicer for future generations?

I may be a good enough writer to get published some day I, as always, am dubious about my talent. But people seem to like my stuff. Until I do get published, I’m going to keep writing and honing my skills.

I’d like a beer But, alas, I’m skint so I’ll just have to wait till tomorrow.

Two things I wish I could change about me:

My lack of money It’s annoying.

My lack of confidence

One thing I can’t live without:
 
Nicotine

And finally, cos I haven’t done this in a while:

Ask me a question. Will answer them sometime in the next week.
